[Live-devel] MPEG2TransportStreamIndexer still fails on some files

[Melms, Kenneth]

Imagine my chagrin...

I had downloaded, built and tested the updated MPEG2TransportStreamIndexer you made on 4/10 - but the one that was residing in my system path was an older version.

Please accept my most humble apologies for wasting your time on this one Ross - and thanks!

I'm still having some trouble using the MPEG2TransportStreamIndexer on MPEG2-TS files we bring down off of our ASI satellite feeds.

The tool doesn't emit any errors, and finishes with a "Šdone", but a 0 byte "tsx" file is created.

I've put together a small representative sampling (6 files, 1 MB each) of the TS files that won't index.

These videos are clipped off the heads of several multi-GB HD files, so I realize that 1MB is very short -however VLC properly opens and displays the codec information, as does ffmpeg - so I'm hoping that you may be able to figure out why this occurs with such regularity.

Here are the clips:

OK, I've just tested these, and it turns out that - apart from "wont7.ts" - "MPEG2TransportStreamIndexer" works (creating index files) on all of these files.  ("wont7.ts" doesn't even play in VLC, so it's apparently not even valid.)

Why did you think that "MPEG2TransportStreamIndexer" didn't work on the other files ("wont2.ts" through "wont6.ts")??  It works just fine for me.
