0.4.1&0.4.0 Linux&Windows client MPEG2 PS&TS broken?

Wed Jun 26 20:26:06 CEST 2002

Hi all,

i have tried to play a MPEG2 program stream and MPEG2 transport stream 
from a locally stored file with VLC 0.4.1 and 0.4.0. MPlayer plays the PS 
file fine. Windows Media Player (with a MPEG2 demuxer) plays the PS and 
the TS file fine. So both files should be ok.

(Yes, so I could use them to play the files, but I actually want to play a 
TS/PS network stream under Windows, so this doesn't help. I just tried to 
watch the files locally stored files with VLC because if local files don't 
work it doesn't make sense to try out watching the network stream.)

My working environment is a PII-400 with 256 MB RAM, RedHat Linux 7.3 
(kernel 2.4.18-rh, XFree86 4.2.0) and the NVidia closed source drivers. 
VLC has been compiled from source.

When I try to play the program stream file, vlc opens an output window, 
but the window stays black and no sound is played. The output window has 
the correct size (768x576) and it remains open for the correct play time 
of the movie, so vlc seems to recognize the program stream. When I try to 
play the transport stream, not even the output window is opened and no 
sound is played either. I have tried other videout-plugins (sdl and x11), 
but it didn't help.

Playing a mpeg1 system stream works fine.

Here's the -vvv output when trying to play the program stream:

I have also tried the 0.4.1 windows binary. But the window stayed gray.

Any ideas?
