Hi David,
No, it had nothing to do with faad which was installed and functioning
correctly. It turned out to be an error at the website.

Recall that the TV stream works correctly (both video and sound) and the
link is:
http://85.92.138.40:8000/;stream.nsv
As you stated, mplayer + the above link works perfectly.
The radio station gives video but no sound and its link is:
http://85.92.138.33:8500/;stream.nsv
Just on a hunch I changed the port from 8500 to 8000 (the one that works
with the TV station). Presto! I get sound!
So from the command line:
mplayer http://85.92.138.33:8000/;stream.nsv
gets you the radio station plus accompanying video. Try it yourself and as
you see, not an faad issue at all.
I don't know if this is strictly a linux issue but I did try to contact that
webpage but their contact link button doesn't work. Oh well, I tried.
Cheers and thanks for the help.
Jonathan

Odd. I also didn't get any sound from the first link you provided, and
generally mplayer just works with streams IME. The problem I also agree
with Roman - is the faac, but I'm not completely sure. For instance, I
get the same warning on the audio part of the codec with this link as I
did with the other link (i.e., unknown compressed size). Also, as a
fallback, vlc doesn't recognize the codec at all on the first link.

vlc doesn't display any video on the second link but does play the audio
fine...

For the first link provided, vlc gives this:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ vlc "http://85.92.138.33:8500/;stream.nsv";
VLC media player 0.8.6a Janus
[0291] access_http access: Raw-audio server found, nsv demuxer
selected [0296] main decoder error: no suitable decoder module for

For the second link I get (using vlc)

This is on testing/etch. I suspect a wonky codec as a possibility.

Hi Roman,
Sure I remember. Thanks for the hints. Interestingly, there's also a tv
channel associated with the same people and the url is:
http://85.92.138.40:8000/;stream.nsv
It's called Tramuntana-TV and it's streaming perfectly (both video and
sound)
Both video and sound are fine.
The other stream that I talked about in my OP is basically audio, it's a
webradio station with some accompanying eye-candy. I can't any sound. Both
use faad.
Here's the output from mplayer run in console:

Notice that the "Opening audio decoder" sections are identical; but one
works (the 2nd) and the other doesn't (the original one). There are some
differences in the first section, e.g. in the 2nd working stream:
 
Bitrate: 300kbit/s
Cache size set to 320 KBytes
Cache fill:  5.00% (16384 bytes)

In the original non-working stream

Bitrate: 300kbit/s
Cache size set to 320 KBytes
Cache fill:  2.50% (8192 bytes)

In both cases faad is used for the audio and it seems to work, at least in
the 2nd case.
Cheers,
Jonathan

Hi Jonathan. Don't know if you remember me but we had an e-encounter on 
this list when you were trying to get your catalan fonts working with 
unicon. Anyway, just nice to see you're still around.


To the facts:

imho this is the problem, probably the actual bitrate is not the 
detected one, judging fom the fact that the resolution is at 32,5 kHz 
I'd guess that the bitrate is lower than 128 kbit's. But I have to admit 
that I don't have a real solution, maybe you should just google the 
"FAAD: compressed input bitrate missing, assuming" part.


Side-Note: afaik aac is proprietary, so maybe there's just not much doc 
about the format and so the linux-support pretty bad, maybe you just 
digged up a bug in the aac-codec.


Good luck, Roman.

no sound on mplayer + .nsv stream

2007-02-02 Thread Jonathan Kaye
Would anyone with mplayer and some knowledge of streams be able to explain
why I can't get sound on this stream. This is a Catalan radio station with
some added (looped video). When I run:
$mplayer http://85.92.138.33:8500/;stream.nsv
I get the vido bit ok but no sound? I'm running Debian Etch 2.6.18 and the
sound system works otherwise. Here's the output from mplayer which may help
someone with more knowledge than me solve this problem.
