issue with a Sound type on video

[markitzero123]

XBMC4Xbox Ver - 3.5-r32977 Player: DVDPlayer
I am trying to get it to were I can watch TWiT.tv Podcasts, The issue is that the Podcast files have a MPEG AAC (mp4a) that is from the codec info through VLC
Here is the one that it can play
File : http://www.podtrac.com/pts/redirect.mp4 ... 68_256.mp4
Page : http://twit.tv/show/this-week-in-tech/483

I get only Video but no Audio

Is there a way around it or am I stuck.

2. Have you got Full Codec Support selected in Settings?

I have an optical link to my amplifier, which is AC3/DTS capable. When I accidentally ticked that it was also AAC capable in "Audio Output" configuration I found I got no audio from H264 sources unless I enabled "Output stereo to all speakers" during playback. Could your issue similarly be a mismatch of capabilities and settings?

I am using analog sound.

That's not a debug log - you didn't turn on debugging.

However, it looks as though it's running out of memory and locking-up whilst trying to play your file (not obvious that it should be problematic - low resolution H.264, albeit being upscaled and rendered at 720p).

Code: Select all

08:20:55 M:  1327104  SEVERE: DLL: Q:\system\players\dvdplayer\full\avutil-52.dll : malloc failed, crash imminent (Out of memory requesting 7690144 bytes)

Ya I still have the stock 64MB of ram it is a softmod install, I eventually want to get a Modchip to were I can add ram and I have checked the motherboard has 2 unpopulated spots for ram chips

Later on I will try it at 480 and see if that helps, also if that still doesn't work I will post the debug log. I which there was a swap file to have virtual ram.

A debug log will give me more info. I suspect you may be running in 1080i hence the memory issue

[markitzero123]

Ok I tried to play the video files in 480 Mode and still no sound on this but when I watch the bitgravity livestream for twit.tv I have video and sound and the sound codec on the stream is AAC. The stream I can run on 720p and the stream is 1Mbps for the High Quality. I don't use 1080 for one I can't play any file without the memory running out. I max it out in the Dashboard to 720p in the settings to were 1080 is no available.

Here is the log with debugging turned on.

Nah, if you take a look at her/his not-a-debug log, you'll see (s)he has playback set to 720p. However, in her/his proper debug log playback is set at 480p (if I'm reading it right).

I turned down the res as a test because buzz suggested it could be the res, I turned down the res of the playback to test Buzz's suggestion. However the same issue.

Please post a new log with debugging turned on. thanks. I will research further.

Yes, that's clear. The malloc situation re-occurs on line 229.

However, I note that you're using JX720 skin at 720p resolution..

To entertain me, would you mind switching to PMIII (or Confluence Lite) and trying again.

I'd try what Thrung said,play the stream,bring up on screen menu,select audio(looks like speaker),select output stereo to all speakers.Also,I realize your hooked up analog audio,but try to enable digital audio aswell.It will still output analog,but to me it sounds better.Ive had to toggle this sometimes watching Twit streams.

Already tried all that. It does not work on the podcast rss feed which file format is mp4, the Live stream from bitgravity works like a charm even with it up scaled to 720p it hover between 12-14MB of free ram.

Ok for your entertainment

Played stream, In the Air Tonight, then tried the podcast and no sound. The thing I noticed is that the stream used less ram then the podcast. Does the Video format of the podcast is avc1 if that helps

[spicemuseum]

Okay. Have you got a standard SCART or composite (yellow) video cable and connection on your telly? If so, I would like you to try that next. That's to force it to run native NTSC resolution.

...BTW, there's an element of straw-clutching here.

Spice I am using Componet but I also have regular AV but 5 other things are on the switcher for that

If you are using analogue sound you should switch to analogue in settings. You have audio set to digital, at least on the last stream

I had it on analog in the first place. after I check the format the podcasts are in that xbmc is detecting them as av1 I am now starting to think it is just a heavy codec to do with only 64MB of ram
