Summary: OSD displays persistent chapters title
Classification: Desktop
Product: GStreamer
Version: 0.10.28
OS/Version: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: Normal
Component: gstreamer (core)
AssignedTo: gstreamer-***@lists.sourceforge.net

GNOME version: ---


Used Handbrake to rip DVD titles to H.264 / AVC m4v files with the 'Chapter
Markers' option set.

When playing these movies using Totem on Ubuntu 10.04LTS with GStreamer
back-end you get an OSD displaying the chapter title. The OSD is persistent and
does not time-out.

Similar issue is seen playing movies with Moovida 1.00x which I understand is
also backended by GStreamer.

Does it work with other players? Can you attach a screenshot or even make a
short version of the file?

The problem does not occur when m4v file is played with other players such as
XBMC or VLC Media Player. I have noticed that PlexApp has started doing this
with the latest release (do they use gstreamer?)

Thought you might ask for a sample file :) I'll see if I can create one, might
take a few days.

Screenshot showing the OSD chapter title

Attached a screenshot showing the chapter title as displayed on the screen.
Please note that this issue is with respect to persistent nature of this title,
i.e. it is displayed continuously and does not disappear after a few seconds.

The screenshot shows totem, but I have also seen this issue with other players
that appear to be GStreamer based, and not in players that are not, for example
VLC and XBMC.

GStreamer seems to treat that chapter-title as a subtitle that is spanning the
duration of the clip. Either gstreamer reads the subtitle the wrong way or
Handbrake write it the wrong way. I guess we really need a small video to
verify.

Which version of handbrake did you used and under which os (linux ?) which
linux distro do you run and what are the gstreamer versions. many distros have
extra repositories with latest stable gstreamer releases (like the gstreamer
ppa for ubuntu). It wound be nice to see if it works with those.

Could you make such a rip available somewhere? Or the first 10MB-20MB or so?
(enough so that the OSD disappears in other players; create with head
--bytes=20m foo.m4v > part.m4v)

Have you tried upgrading to ubuntu maverick? Or added the GStreamer PPA (which
has more recent versions of the various GStreamer packages)?

Moving to -good (qtdemux) for now..

It does appear that Handbrake inserts a subtitles, so it is possible to
workaround the issue by turning subtitles off.

I don't know if there is a problem with the subtitles created by Handbrake or
with the way GStreamer displays them. Normally subtitles should disappear after
a short period of time.

I've uploaded an example video 15MB as requested.

Nice sample file, thanks for that.

Can't even get the subtitles to show in VLC or mplayer, but can reproduce this
with totem/gstreamer. (Btw, do we know for sure that the chapter OSD isn't
supposed to be persistent?)

It's there to let you skip to the next chapter, not for display.

VLC does that. FFWD goes to next chapter. It doesn't display chapters as
subtitles.

Totem doesn't let you skip chapters.

PS. I have no idea if this is an abuse of the spec.

qtdemux: skip disabled tracks

ISO/IEC 14496-12 specifies disabled tracks should be completely
ignored, so just do it.

Avoids deadlock during prerolling for some files.

Also prevents 'chapter' subtitle tracks from showing up.

The specification may say that the track without the enabled flag should be
treated as if it were not present, but no player really does it. Both QuickTime
and VLC display audio and subtitle track where "Track Enabled" is false. This
patch unnecessarily hides playable tracks. There must be a better way to filter
out chapter data.

Looking at they way mp4v2 adds chapter data, the proper way to detect chapter
track would be to find tref.chap reference atom in video track (although it
could be in other track as well) and match it against the track id for the
chapter track.

Matej: is your goal to extract/expose the chapter information, or do you have
files with other tracks which are now disabled?

The chapter information should be exposed in a different way, using GstToc +
event.

I'm not looking to expose the chapter information, although I might do that
later.

I have some files that are perfectly playable in other players (QuickTime, VLC)
but gstreamer now ignores audio and subtitle tracks. I'll post a patch later
today.

Sure, you can find it here:

https://s3.amazonaws.com/MatejK/disabled-tracks.m4v

Both Audio and Subtitle track have the "Track Enabled" flag set to 0
QuickTime will not play the audio, but does allow to select and enable subtitle
track
All other players that I tested (VLC, MPlayer, Movist) allow to select both
audio and subtitle track.
