Comment (by Joe Nyland <joe@…>):

 Mike, you're right - it does look a little bit too messy in the thread
 above. As John has said though, a lot of information has been pooled in
 the mythtv-users thread he's linked to.

 Here's a summary of my findings from my recent testing of the issue. I
 appreciate they aren't very detailed and would be much more helpful with
 more verbosity, but I'm afraid I can't get any more useful info than the
 logs I've already attached to this ticket.

 Nonetheless, here's a summary of what I've found:

 1. Recordings made on a test VM with 0.24 play back in XBMC and VLC but
 not on the Panasonic TV. (Expected behaviour)
 2. Recordings made on a test VM with 0.24 then transcoded to MPEG2-PS with
 MythTranscode play back in XBMC, VLC and on the Panasonic TV perfectly.
 (Expected behaviour)
 3. Recordings made on a test VM with 0.25 do not play back in XBMC and do
 not play back on the Panasonic TV. VLC has great difficulty playing back
 in such a scenario - it's unwatchable, but there's something there.
 (Unexpected behaviour)
 4. Recordings made on a test VM with 0.25 then transcoded to MPEG2-PS with
 MythTranscode do not play back in XBMC and do not play back on the
 Panasonic TV. VLC has great difficulty playing back in such a scenario -
 it's unwatchable, but there's something there. (Unexpected behaviour)
 5. Recordings made on my MythTV server (0.25) do not play back on either
 XBMC or the Panasonic TV. VLC has great difficulty playing back in such a
 scenario - it's unwatchable, but there's something there. So I see the
 same behaviour as scenario 4, but with a physical server, that's working
 great otherwise - hence this ticket. (Unexpected behaviour)
 6. Recordings made on my MythTV server (0.25) that are transcoded to
 MPEG2-PS and then copied/moved to the 'Videos' storage group within MythTV
 play back fine on XBMC, VLC and the Panasonic TV. This is unfortunately
 limited, as they are presented as a 'video' file, and are therefore not
 organised into the various groups that recordings are, such as storage
 group, title, channel, show, etc.

 I'm uploading full logs for scenarios 2 and 4, as they are the 'before'
 and 'after' logs, which should theoretically show the difference, however
 they don't look too helpful to me. I hope they are of some use to whoever
 picks this ticket up.

 No-one on mythtv-users has been able to chime in to help, so that was the
 reason for pooling our results here for the developers to have a look when
 they have time. I hope this is a bit more helpful.

 Thanks,

 Joe
