Thanks.
By the way, I sometimes get no sound output when I play back recorded TS. Ffmpeg on my PC shows this information:
Code: Select all

Obviously "Stream #0.3" and "Stream #0.4" are broken (bitrate is zero). But according to the ROSE-Logs the TV selects the first supported audio stream (Stream #0.3 using MP2), tries to play it, fails and mutes audio.
Anyone else experiencing this behaviour with release 0.10.2?

I applied the patch, i'm now able to switch Audio from MKV files - but if the patch is active I'm no longer able to watch (hear) vob files --> there is absolutely no audio anymore
Can you provide an example VOB? As outlined in another thread, I believe that audio selection on CIP devices has a little bit changed, so some code might not work 100%. Read here for more details:

This works for me within another project (not finished yet). The piece of source code which does the trick is this:
Code: Select all
/* Lets try to fix=>hide invalid audio streams */
/* libexedsp source code: */
/*
for( i = 0; i < MAX_STREAMS; i++ ){
switch( media_info_context->stream_info[i].stream_type ){
case Multimedia::STREAM_TYPE_AUDIO:
if( media_info_context->stream_info[i].audio_info.nBitRate == 0 ){
ROSE_PRINT(0x4, "Stream index = %i (AUDIO) has zero bitrate. Removing stream.", i );
media_info_context->stream_info[i].stream_type = Multimedia::STREAM_TYPE_NONE;
media_info_context->stream_info[i].stream_id = 0;
}
break;
default:
break;
}
}

I don't think this makes sense, does it?

Hehe, good point. But this is topic for another thread. I don't think recording HDMI (8,16GBit/sec) on USB 2.0 device (480 MBit/sec) is feasible. That's why I think it will not work.
I also thought about porting an open source softcam to Samsung DTV, but I am not sure whether it is possible to catch the encrypted TS in memory to run libcsa over it. There are two functions, namely SdCI_Get(SdCI_Settings_t *) and SdCI_Set(SdCI_Settings_t *) which allow the TS to go through CI or bypass CI. But at the moment I am busy with other things...

sondeu (and other who want to try this on CIP devices): please find attached another version with source code attached.
It removes unsupported (e.g. DTS) or defective audio streams. Audio switching works partially. At least using the switch-stop-play procedure. I also added avrfix2 in order to change aspect ratio while movie playback.
It is important to have the following two lines in pvr.ini
Code: Select all
AUDIO_SWITCH=OFF
AUDIO_SWITCH_CIP=RED
They switch off the normal (non-CIP) version and enable the CIP version of the audio switch module.
Please note: this is not an official release, but just a hack based on the samygopvr release 0.10.2.
Good luck and best regards,
SM

Hello Smartmurf,
thanks for this patch for CI devices. I think you guys are doing an impressive work.
I tried this version and sadly is not working as well as I wish
. Half of the times it restart the TV. Additionally, movies with more than one valid sound track does not produce any sound at all. On the other hand, I have no more "Invalid format" on recorded media, that now plays nicely (I guess that it removes all the invalid tracks, and only one lefts, otherwise I would have problem described before when more than one valid track is available).
Anyway, thanks for the great effort, I really appreciate it.
Best regards

Does it work on non CIP devices?
