pgssub produce warnings and are blinking

Description

(Sample from videolan ticket 8521)
Original sample: http://streams.videolan.org/issues/TS/kagero.ts
The sample contains three subtitle streams, they play fine with the following MPlayer commands:
$ mplayer kagero.ts -sid 4608
$ mplayer kagero.ts -sid 4609
$ mplayer kagero.ts -sid 4610
The following commands show many warnings, but the subtitles also play fine:
$ mplayer kagero.ts -demuxer lavf -sid 0
$ mplayer kagero.ts -demuxer lavf -sid 1
$ mplayer kagero.ts -demuxer lavf -sid 2

The same warnings are shown with ffmpeg (and ffplay), additionally, the subtitles are shown with heavy blinking:

Hack from Reimar to show the reason for the problem

comment:1 by DoomBot, 11 years ago

Is this the same problem as the PGS subtitles in stand alone m2ts files, they would flash on screen really fast and vanish?
If so i see the same thing in the xbmc Gotham builds, this issue was fixed and then patched in frodo. The problem is back and very annoying. I could provide a sample if need be.

Thanks

Please test 931856a and c5cb9c9 to confirm.

If it is a different issue reproducible with FFmpeg, it will (probably) not be fixed without a sample.
That being said, a second sample often does not hurt.

Some info about what was done last time for the fix by ffmpeg http://trac.xbmc.org/ticket/12074#comment:6

The file works fine here with both ffplay and ffmpeg (and MPlayer).

Cool then this means it's xbmc thanks for checking.

for ffmpeg the flickering can be fixed with:
this needs more investigation though

I am afraid this change would break rendering of DVB subtiles, since an empty subtitle frame is used to mark the end of the previous one. I need to have a look at this issue.
(Fortunately, I will have more time soon to get back working on ffmpeg.)

yes, i had a bad feeling about my patch already ...

comment:10 by JohnAStebbins, 10 years ago

Has anyone confirmed that kagero_cut.ts has a *valid* PGS stream. I just took a closer look and it is violating the PGS spec or at least abusing it horribly. The spec states that the presentation time for a PGS sub is the PTS of the PES containing the presentation segment. The spec also states that only one presentation segment may be active at any point in time. This stream has multiple presentation segments that have the same PTS.

The fix that was committed for this appears very wrong to me, though it might be working around problems created by this broken stream.

comment:11 by Carl Eugen Hoyos, 10 years ago

Priority: importantnormal

The ffplay issue was fixed by Michael in e5eff191
The issue is still reproducible with the overlay filter, no regression (the overlay filter was added two weeks after the pgs code was changed in 2010).

Replying to JohnAStebbins:

Has anyone confirmed that kagero_cut.ts has a *valid* PGS stream.

I don't think this matters (much): If possible, FFmpeg also decodes invalid streams. Especially if other open source software plays the sample (or in this case the subtitles).

Only with a non-default strict level should an invalid stream be rejected.

The fix that was committed for this appears very wrong to me

Please write to the development mailing list, patches should not be discussed here.

comment:13 by Elon Musk, 5 years ago

Is issue still reproducible with overlay filter?
