Changes:

• Changed to compile in VS 2008.
  
• Fixed a bug which was causing playback of a tsbuffer file to appear to skip to the start of the buffer whenever it was near the end and had to wait for the file to grow
  
• Fixed NetRender filename generation.
  
• Changed to write all the registry values the first time the registry key is created.
  
• Updated to write the number values in the registry as DWORD and QWORD instead of BINARY
  
• Fixed saving and loading of the Create Subtitle Pin option.
  
• Added the version number to the description on the property page.
  
• Updated the TSFileSource Reference Clock to use a high precision timer.
  
• Added support for monogram TS files.
  
• Changed TSFileSource project to be statically linked. Hopefully this will help solve the problem of not being able to register the dll in windows xp.
  

The following options are used for Abnormal operation and should not require changing.

Change File Name Button:
Opens a Window file Browser and allows the user to change the file being played. This is useful to assist in the playback of files for testing etc. Note, it does not change the filename that the application uses.

Prev, Next & Select Buttons:
Enables you to change the sub program that you are viewing, this is only available if you are playing a FULL TSMux file.

Show EPG Button:
This button just mainly displays the Service info, Now & Next information at the current play time.

Refresh Button:
Allows the user to re-parse the file information at the current playback point. This is useful to assist in the playbackof files that have heavy data corruption within them.

Save Button:
Allows the user to save the option settings to the registry, default settings are saved under "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/TSFileSource/settings/default". Seperate settings for the Audio preferences and the selected Program IDs are saved under the "settings/ONID:TSID" locations.

Demux Control:
This option enables the filter to work with the MS MPEG2 Demultiplexer only. Disable it if you want to connect to other Demultiplexers such as the Elecard or moonlight Push Demultiplexers. Default setting is enabled.
Note: Never leave the "Demux control" disabled as this could prevent you from playing TS files in Media Players.

NP Control & NP Slave:
These Were options for previous testing and relate to the BDA Graph build with a Network Provider within the graph. Default setting is disabled.

ROT Enable:
This option just allows you to remote connect to the filtergraph using Graphedit. Default setting is disabled.

MPEG Audio pin type:
This is an option for a user to change the audio pin type incase they wish to use a specific audio decoder that is not compatable to the MPEG 2 format. Default setting is MPEG 2.

Audio 2 Preference:
This option allows the user to specify which audio stream to play if there are two of the same audio type. Used for multi language situations elsewhere but not in AU. Default setting is disabled.

AC3 Audio Preference:
This Option allows the user to specify which audio stream media type to play if there are more than one type of stream. The logic follows that when you load the file, the filter will choose the AC3 media type if there is a stream available, else it will use the MPEG pin type chosen. If you are playing a FULL TSMux file, then when changing between programs it will switch to the same media type stream that you were using from the previous program else it will choose the one thats available. Default setting is enabled.
(Note: Specific audio stream selection can only be done from the IAMStreamSelect Interface.)

Enable Teletext Pin:
This option allows the user to create an output pin that is compatable to the DVBTeletextSubtitles filter for digital Teletext useage.(I.e. Closed Captions) Will work but the Teletext filter needs further development to allow it to operate without intervention. Default setting is disabled.

Enable Teletext Pin:
This option allows the user to create an output pin that is compatable for use with other Transport input filters such as mentioned next. It has all the pids for the sub program mapped to it in the same way as the WS TSMux recording type. Default setting is disabled.

Rate Control:
This is an option to limit the data flow out of the filter to mimic a constant broadcast data rate. It is used when using the MPEG-2 Multicast Sender filter or DSNetwork filter so that you can broadcast the file over the network. Default setting is disabled.

Live Delay:
This option just delays the playback of a live file for 2 seconds when the play point reaches the end of the file. That is if you are playing a live recording and you FF to a point past the end of the file, the filter will wait 2 seconds, then resume streaming data. Can be used by converter programs to reduce CPU usage when converting live recordings. Default delay is 100ms. Default setting is disabled.

Default, TSFileSource, Demux & Render:
These Reference Clocks option settings allow a user to choose which reference clock type to use at graph building time, can help with some systems that prefer to use a render clock when they have audio issues. Default setting is TSFileSource.

• Default Video Rendering Filter = VRM7 (*Some Decoders will not connect to some renders but VRM7 seems to be the most useful that I've found. You can experiment with these to see which one works best.)
  
• Default Audio Rendering Device = Default Direct sound device.(*Best to leave this as is unless you wish to play with surround sound devices.)
  
  

Special Purpose Source Filters

MPEG 2 Transport Profile:-

• Current Source filter chain = TS FileFilter(AU) (* this can be HDTVPump Filter instead.)
  
• Use following file extensions = TS & TSBUFFER (*These are file extensions that ZP will cross reference with when choosing the correct profile for playback)
  
• Force Subtype = {E06D8023-DB46-11CF-B4D1-00805F6CBBEA} (*This is a special unique ID key that is allocated to a specific stream type so the source filter will always try and connect to the splitter using this.)
  

MPEG 2 Transport Profile:-

• Current Splitter filter = MPEG2 Demultiplexer (*This is the prefered demux filter for the Push Source Filters)
  
• Restrict to these file ext = TS & TSBUFFER
  
• Accept the following media subtypes = {E06D8023-DB46-11CF-B4D1-00805F6CBBEA}
  {F4AEB342-0329-4fdd-A8FD-4AFF4926C978}
  

Audio Decoders

MPEG 2 Transport Profile:-

• Current Decoder filter chain = DNTVLive!
  
• Use Render overide = Keep default
  
• Restrict extensions = TS & TSBUFFER
  
• Accept the following media subtypes = {e436eb81-524f-11ce-9f53-0020af0ba770}
  {e06d802b-db46-11cf-b4d1-00805f6cbbea}
  {e06d802c-db46-11cf-b4d1-00805f6cbbea} (*These are the media types that the decoder is able to play, Mpeg 1, 2 & AC3)
  

Video Decoders

MPEG 2 Transport Profile:-

• Current Decoder filter chain = DNTVLive! Video
  
• Use Render overide = Keep default (*You can change this to a specific render for this profile if you wish, it will overide the default render settings described earlier.)
  
• Restrict extensions = TS & TSBUFFER
  
• Accept the following media subtypes = {E06D8026-DB46-11CF-B4D1-00805F6CBBEA}
  {F4AEB342-0329-4fdd-A8FD-4AFF4926C978}
