Gstreamer takes long to start using aiurdemux with RTP MPEG-TS Streams

[ottoblom]

Hi There,

I'm using the following pipeline to display a RTP MPEG-TS Stream

gst-launch udpsrc port=5000 caps="application/x-rtp, media=video, clock-rate=90000, encoding-name=MP2T-ES, payload=33" ! .recv_rtp_sink_0 gstrtpbin latency=800 ! rtpmp2tdepay ! aiurdemux ! vpudec ! mfw_v4lsink

It works well, however for unknown reasons it takes a long time (10 seconds) to start. See below log below for problem location

Aiur: 3.0.7

Core: BLN_MAD-MMLAYER_MPG2PARSER_04.04.14  build on Jun 25 2013 14:37:53

  mime: video/mpeg, mpegversion=(int)[1,2]; video/mpegts, systemstream=true; video/x-cdxa

  file: /usr/lib/imx-mm/parser/lib_mpg2_parser_arm11_elinux.so.3.1

Content Info:

    Seekable  : No

    Size(byte): -1

<<----- 10 second delay here

Mpeg2CreateParser:parser created successfully

Movie Info:

    Seekable  : No

    Live      : Yes

    Duration  : 0:00:00.000000000

    ReadMode  : File

    programs    : 1

    Track     : 2

This delay goes away if I use tsdemux instead of aiurdemux, however tsdemux leaks about 1mb worth of memory per second so that is not a great alternative.

Any ideas on what could be going on ?

Thanks,

/Otto

A bit more research reveals that the function call in aiurdemux.c that is taking 10 seconds is

CORE_API (inf, createParser, goto fail, core_ret,

(bool) (demux->clip_info.live), file_cbks, mem_cbks, buf_cbks,

(void *) demux, &handle);

So creating the parser appears to be the cause of the delay. Problem is that (as far as I know) the parser is only distributed as a pre-compiled binary library, meaning there is no way for us to troubleshoot this any further without assistance (?). The 10 second delay is a show-stopper for us, so we would really appreciate any help even if it means paying for it.

Thanks in advance,
