[MPlayer-dev-eng] [PATCH] Support h264 video in HDTV DVBx TS

[Kurt Garloff]

Hi,

when mplayer failed to play recorded HDTV files, I was rather surprised
-- I was used to mplayer playing about anything that I could get hold
off ...

The fix turned out to be simple though. Looks like mplayer expects
VIDEO_MPEG12 in the MPEG2 Transport Stream, but the HDTV DVBx signal
really puts VIDEO_H264 in there.

The sync packets allow to detect this, so I added a goto statement
and things start to work. May not be the most elegant solution, but
works like a charm.

Looking at video_read_properties(), I wonder whether the function
should be reworked to detect what video is found in the stream as
opposed to needing to know beforehand and then failing if the assumption
does not hold.

Enjoy!
