Title: .ts Files Not Working
Post by: mitty on June 29, 2004, 09:23:00 PM

I found a cool newsgroup: a.b.hdtv
Huge files: 4.5 gig.

I'm new to ts files. The PC player is called vlc. VLC Player

I have a small 137 M Bsample file that doesn't work either. When I select it, screen goes blank.

These files work fine on my pc with vlc.

Ideas?

The Xbox probably isn't powerful enough to play the files.

Thanks for the reply.

Has anyone else tried these files on their Xbox? MPEG-TS
The file extension is defined in XBMC.

Ecro is correct.  Thats why they wont work.  If the resolution the are in is 1080i, then its DEFINATELY the reason, Xbox cant play/decode 1080i, it MIGHT be able to do 720p (dont quote me on that tho) but it should be able to play 480i and 480p.

It can play 720p files but it will drop frames. You need to change the .ts tp .mpg
Xbox can not play 1080i beacause its takes a p4 to play them!
But I do know if some one could code mplayer to work with the GPU it would be able to do this..

DVICO  FusionHDTV 3 Gold card does this.. look at the system requirements
Pentium 3 750MHz or Celeron 900MHz CPU with 128MB Memory (with ATI RADEON series with DXVA VGA, NVIDIA MX440, FX series)
Pentium 4 1.6GHz with 128MB DDR266 or faster memory for non DXVA VGA
