Cant play kaffeine recordings m2t-files

[desmane]

Hi,

using Kubuntu 8.04 / KDE 3.59
Linux + 2.6.24-19-generic #1 SMP Wed Aug 20 22:56:21 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux
Elisa version 0.5.9

Ive installed Elisa, ugly bad good plugins, elisa python and gstreamer0.10*

I cant play any m2t-files recorded DVB-T with kaffeine (using xine though). I think it is something like mpeg (?)
I can't see the files in elisa (because of the file extension, can I add them somewhere in the confs?), I renamed them to *.mpeg, I can select them but see the first image of the video only. Very Sad :)

Hope this gets fixed, I need this app ;-) ..and thanks for reading this!

Gstreamer should be able to play .m2t files (MPEG TS). Can you play them using another gstreamer based player such as totem-gstreamer?

[desmane (spmbx)]

the files play perfectly fine with other gstreamer based applications. I've forgotten to mention that this happens due to the latest update from 0.5.8 to 0.5.9 (via apt-get, using "deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/elisa-developers/ubuntu hardy main")

[desmane (spmbx)]

I can't read those lines but this is what the terminal says (starting elisa only)

I've checked again, now it works.. but where can I add the file extension?

Says you have problems with your filenames (they're named wrong), not with elisa.

What do you mean 'add the file extension'?

[desmane (spmbx)]

thanks a lot for your quick reply,

kaffeine records my video shows and makes m2t-files (mpeg ts) - there is no option to change that. I can play them with elisa, but I have to change the file extension to something like mpeg (after the recording is done though), otherwise elisa says there is no video files in the folder.
I thought there might be a way to add the file extension m2t somewhere so that those files get displayed in the video section/folder of elisa as well. Any ideas?

I attached the elisa.conf just in case..

[Michał Sawicz (saviq)]

AFAIK you need to take this to gstreamer guys, as gstreamer is the one that's responsible for file type determination, so it's gstreamer that needs to notice the m2t files.

[desmane (spmbx)]

thanks - that makes sense. But Gstreamer is big - why not put an option like showallfiles in the elisa.conf

[[file:///pathtovideofiles]]
label = 'AllFiles'
only_media = ['video']
location_type = 'local'
ShowAllFiles=true

And what would Elisa do with them if gstreamer wouldn't recognize the
file anyway?

"I can play them with elisa, but I have to change the file extension to something like mpeg (after the recording is done though), otherwise elisa says there is no video files in the folder."

[desmane (spmbx)]

...in the latest upgrade of elisa I can play m2t-files through the recently added or never played functions, but still no files in my video folders. thats a bug!

[Olivier Tilloy (osomon)]

@desmane: do you still experience the bug with the latest Moovida (1.0.7)?
If so, is there a way you could provide us an example (small) m2t file?

[desmane (spmbx)]

thanks for asking, ill test and get back to you soon

@desmane: did you get a chance to test this?

[desmane (spmbx)]

yes

sorry I am late

videos are shown in unclassified videos
playpack with gstreamer does work, seeking takes quite long though (xine seems to be working better for mpeg/dvb recordings)

thanks

sample file m2t, recorded with kaffeine Version 1.0-pre2

[laura burbaite (lburbaite)]

Update: Tested with the provided .m2t file in Linux 9.10 Playback worked.

[desmane (spmbx)]

why are those files in unclassified videos??

[Olivier Tilloy (osomon)]

I can confirm that the provided example file is not recognized by the filesystem browser, but is correctly displayed in the Unclassified Videos section.

@desmane: all videos belong to one of the following sections:
 - movies
 - TV shows
 - unclassified

If for some reason Moovida doesn't recognize a video file as either a movie or an episode of a TV show, then this video will appear in the unclassified section.
