Bug#644248: dvbsnoop: continuity counter checking wrong in presence of adaptation field

[Robert Lemmen]

Package: dvbsnoop
Version: 1.4.50-3
Severity: normal


hi there,

the mpeg spec says in section 2.4.3.3 under "continuity counter":

The continuity_counter shall not be incremented when the
adaptation_field_control of the packet equals '00' or '10'.

I think dvbsnoop assumes it is always increased when checking for CC
errors, leading to false "duplicate packet" errors

regards  robert
