MPEG player issue

(1/4) > >>

maretard:
First off, I'd like to say, your work with the MPEG player is absolutely amazing. About a few months ago, the MPEG player wasn't working at all on my iRiver h10 20gig, and now, with a Rockbox SVN from yesterday, it's working (almost) flawlessly. :)

The one thing I've noticed is a bit annoying. All the audio to my videos stops playing after about 1-3 minutes (depending on how "intense" the audio is - silence takes up less buffer room than music, for example), while the video continues playing until the end of the clip. Is this just because MPEG player still isn't "finished," or is there something I'm doing wrong? I'm sure my videos are correct, because I'm converting a movie to .MPG format and then shrinking it with Blaze Media Pro to 160x120 for my screen dimensions, and the audio is 128 kbps 44100 kHz.

Thanks a bunch!

Llorean:
Your videos aren't correct enough, it seems. I don't know what "Blaze Media Pro" is like, but properly converted videos will play audio the whole way through.

Have you tried playing these same files on your PC to verify them? (As in, the exact files you copy to your player)?

maretard:
Thanks for the quick reply!

Yep, the video works on my computer perfectly. I remember reading about some audio buffer issues with MPEG player a while back; have those been completely fixed? Blaze works great for resizing and requalifying (kHz-wise) videos, and also converts stuff from MPG, WMV, and AVI. I'll try the video again, maybe it was just a freak coincidence or something. =/

Llorean:
Try using one of the tools recommended in the Wiki, first. And of course, I assume you're using an up to date, official build.

maretard:
Yeah, about that - I tried all the tools in the Wiki, but none of them would output anything that would play correctly. I kept getting "Unsupported file format" on .mp4 files, and the .mpg files that did come out wouldn't play, and the plugin kept returning errors. So far, Blaze is the only tool that's been able to successfully encode a video for me. :(

Definitely up-to-date, just updated again to today's. :P

Just got another movie into it, testing tonight, will update tomorrow.
