G2 Plus does not decode MPEG2 video

Post by mitko »

G2 Plus does not decode MPEG2 interlaced IPTV streams (streamed directly from the satellite).

Tested with buit-in GTPlayer, STB EMu Pro from the store and OTT Navigator with all possible players. I doubt it is a hardware limitation as S905W2 shoud be able to decode mpeg2 in hardware.

Also, all tested players (GTplayer, STB Emu, OTT Navigator) need enormous amount of time (up to 10 seconds) before starting to decode supported streams (H264/AAC). Something is wrong with the VideoView library. The same setup on GT Combo (S905W3) works OK

I have this sort of thing with the GT Combo.
Some feeds take a long time to open the video, even though it is FTA.
One of these feeds does not open for more then a few seconds on the GTX, I am checking after a reset on the GTX.

Many videos do not open unless I change channel from another TP on the same sat and same H or V polarity.
This I think is due to my use of both DiSEqC 1.0 and 1.1 switching.
I think the unit starts looking at what video format before the unit has finished switching.
MPEG2 may be the first one on the list to check.

If you are using DiSEqC switch, try with out the switch.

Can you provide us with a non-playable MPEG2 file for testing? Thanks.

I can't change the name of a live stream. The attached file is a capture of the problematic live stream.
