No major change on mplayer, still have to enter the -fps to let play it but on popcorn it is night and day, now I can stream to popcorn all my HD channels and all is working nice, some desentrelacing problem on SD channels but was not the first goal
Well for me the patch cured most of my mplayer-problems which affected the stream identifying. Before this patch I mostly get "no audio" and even video was identified as MPEG2 when it should have been H264/AVC. But 9 out of 10 streaming attemps failed. Now I am able to stream 99 out of 100 attemps. So sometimes it fails but very seldom.
Typically if "PROGRAM N." is 0 or 1, then there is a problem on Mplayer stream analyze. I think it should be the last number of your URL (for my example 3805). Then is it hard to tell differences of Mplayer- versions. And my HD channel on below example is VoomHD on DVB-C -network. As even some other channels might have flawed PAT/PMT etc.
