Contact: Reinhard Nissl luxe-hd.es.h264 is the head of an ES stream, taken from a VDR recording. The channel Luxe-HD is broadcast via Hotbird 13.0 E. Playing this file with MPlayer-1.0rc1 gives a lot of errors (omitted here). Playing it in xine (through vdr-xine) asserts in mpegvideo.c (omitted here as it requires a patched xine). The command line for mplayer was: mplayer -demuxer h264es -vc ffh264 /video/luxe-hd.es.h264 The command line for ffplay was: ffplay /video/luxe-hd.es.h264 The output of ffplay was: [h264 @ 0x84cd0a0]PAFF interlacing is not implemented [h264 @ 0x84cd0a0]PAFF interlacing is not implemented [h264 @ 0x84cd0a0]PAFF interlacing is not implemented [h264 @ 0x84cd0a0]PAFF interlacing is not implemented [h264 @ 0x84cd0a0]PAFF interlacing is not implemented [h264 @ 0x84cd0a0]PAFF interlacing is not implemented [h264 @ 0x84cd0a0]concealing 2720 DC, 2720 AC, 2720 MV errors [h264 @ 0x84cd0a0]PAFF interlacing is not implemented [h264 @ 0x84cd0a0]PAFF interlacing is not implemented [h264 @ 0x84cd0a0]PAFF interlacing is not implemented [h264 @ 0x84cd0a0]PAFF interlacing is not implemented [h264 @ 0x84cd0a0]PAFF interlacing is not implemented [h264 @ 0x84cd0a0]PAFF interlacing is not implemented [h264 @ 0x84cd0a0]illegal short term buffer state detected [h264 @ 0x84cd0a0]concealing 2720 DC, 2720 AC, 2720 MV errors Xlib: unexpected async reply (sequence 0x70)!
