Only version 080123 works on my PCH. I thought that I remembered 080223 working for TS files, but it doesn't work now.

Is there a way to completely reset my PCH. I've removed the harddrive and done a factory reset, but it doesn't seem to help...

hmmm what is your setup on video and audio side i mean what equpement TV and AV receiver and what settings do you have on the pch

I've tried both HDMI and component video to a Dell 24" monitor. my PCH works great playing AVI and DIVx files. It just seems to have stopped playing TS files. I even tried an old TS movie that I'm sure I watched on the PCH using version 080223.
I'm using the analog audio outputs. The TS files are simple SD with no AC3 or DTS.

did you all set to pcm and to stereo?

werner Wrote:did you all set to pcm and to stereo?

yes

dts digital raw
ac3 analog (pcm)
AAC analog (pcm)
WMA analog (pcm)


is there a way to completely clear out the settings in the flash. I mean the MTD flash are allocated to 0x01fe0000-0x02000000 : "Setting 1fe0000" ?

anything new on this? the other thing is that the sonicview does mpeg-4 .trp files too... yeah native fta playback would be sweet..

Hello All

@Scott

I've been looking for help on creating IFO files for at least a week. I was just about to give up when I saw your post!

Did you create a software to read/write those files by any chance ?

I'm trying to read a MKV file with my technomate 6800. The way to do it is: use a remuxer to get a TS file, extract DTS and convert to AC3, mux both to .ts... and last but not least the IFO file where I was stuck.

If I undersand your record you have to write two PIDS one for the sound and one for the video ? Isnt there something missing ? I was digging into and found out there is a title and a comment but they are the end of the file I think so I guess they are not mandatory ?

Last question: do you know how to get these PIDs ? I've opened a test in HS 264 cutter and I see a lot of pids displayed:

0 PAT
256 PMT stream - Service 1
31 unknown
4097 unknown
4113 Video Stream - Service 1
4352 AVCHD / Blue Ray Audio Stream - Service 1

I gather you need two records for the last two PIDs ?

Thanks in advance for any hints...

Oleole,

Rapid share your MKV to TS file and I'll take a look. My tool only converts the tehnomate files into a format that the PCH can read, while allowing the technomate to still play them. But I've been wanting to write a .IFO writer...


As to the PIDs, use TSReader to analyze the TS file. It will tell you the audio and video PIDs.

Hello Scott,

I will work on something based on your information on the record.

Here is the link as requested: http://rapidshare.de/files/39398577/ctu-...le.ts.html

Can you create the corresponding IFO maybe (I guess not) ?

Thanks.

I've done a test. Based on the .TS I've posted, I've changed the bytes of an existing IFO as follow

// video = H.264 and PID = 17
byte 4 = 11
byte 8 = 17
// Audio = AC3 and PID = 0
byte 12 = 10
byte 16 = 0
// Audio = AC3 and PID = 0 (it was present twice in the original IFO)
byte 20 = 10
byte 24 = 0
// PCR PID
byte 32 = 17

No luck... I think there is something on the duration of the video, since I didnt change that INT I wonder if it explains the problem.

Will look further into it tomorrow. Do you have an IFO for HD streams maybe ?

The correct values for the PIDs are as follows:

H.264 Video on PID 0x1011
AC-3 Audio on PID 0x1100
PCR on pid PID 0x1001

Look back in this thread. You should see some Rapid share links for HD files. Or try this one:

Haha that's the ones H264 cutter gave me, but I've tried another software (tsremux which gave 17 and 0). Will try with these values later tonight, just have a slight problem with the display time that I may have to update also.

Thanks for the files.

OK good news, I can read the video on my technomate.

I've converted a MKV into a .TS and created a corresponding .IFO thanks to scott's description of the structure:

4 entries (I've noticed always 4 entries):

Entry 1: type 0x0b, value 0x1011
Entry 2: type 0x0a, value 0x1100
Entry 3: type 0x0a, value 0x1100 (exactly the same as previous one)
Entry 4: type 0x09, value 0x1001

That file + the TS I've rapidshared actually start... but there is bad news, the video work, but the sound even if it's present doesnt seem to read properly (it's doing "noise" every 10 seconds).

Guessing it was maybe the time stored in the file (time start at byte 904), I've added 62000 milliseconds there but the sound is still KO.

I've upped the file created here (to use with my other upload three or more posts before this one)http://rapidshare.de/files/39410390/Lost...9.ifo.html

@Scott do you see what I'm doing wrong maybe ?

Tomorrow I will check other HD IFOs to see if I can understand the problem.

Thanks

I've tried the TSN HD_0002 on the Technomate.

First thing, that bastard delete the whole folder if the IFO file doesn't have a title.

Second thing, I've overwritten the first bytes of an existing IFO created by the technomate and same problem -> no damn sound.

I suspect it's because something is missing in the IFO.
