I decided to move some BBC radio shows I’d recorded and was surprised to find that they are ts files rather than the mp3 format I was expecting.
Does this mean they are encrypted? VLC wont play the ts files so I suspect they are but would like confirmation.
I use the free tsMuxer utility to extract the audio from .ts files copied over from my Foxsat HDR. They end up as .mpa files which VLC can play quite happily as can my Rockboxed Sansa Clip+ PMP.
They are in fact Mpeg 2 layer 2 files (MP2). Try changing the file extension to .mp2. Chances are your media player will then recognise the format.
Changing the extension to mp2 had no effect. VLC still wont play them.

The .ts is not any guide to what the video and audio is contained in the .ts container.
The file extension used can contain lots of audio and video compression codecs that your destination device used to decode the video and audio streams has to be able to decode.

Try a different media player app like the built in windows media player app.
Alternatively try remuxing the audio using TSmuxerGUI.
You need to be transferring the files using Samba to remove the encryption.
See the FAQ’s

This gives the same response as VLC. Both do not recognise the codec involved. tsMuxeR says it does not recognise the stream type.
This all means there’s something in the file header that they can’t read/recognise. I suspect this is due to encryption.

Guessing you have a problem as the FVP models can only decrypt SD Video and radio using Windows 10 as posted in this forum.

I would guess they are indeed encrypted. How did you transfer the files to the Linux computer?

FTP would almost certainly leave them encrypted. I would have expected copy to USB to remove the encryption but maybe barry could comment if this true for radio?
Not a linux user, so can’t comment on that. I’m using win10. And copying across (I guess that would be using Samba), and simply changing the extension to .mp2 seems to let the audio play, at least in VLC and windows media player.
If you’re wanting to do more, for example using audacity:
You need to have installed FFmpeg for Audacity.
Audacity will import the copied across ‘mp3’
1. File menu > Import > Audio
2. Select “FFmpeg compatible files” as the file type filter
3. Select the file and click OK.

Why do you guess that it is using Samba? I would guess that it is using DLNA which would explain why transferred content has the encryption removed.

I would guess that it is using DLNA which would explain why transferred content has the encryption removed.*shrug* I have Samba server turned on on my FVP 5000T. As to how it is actually copying things across I don’t know the ins and out. My comment was due as someone mentioned FTP, my ftp server setting is off.
(sorry, it was a while ago I set everything up and had to figure out how to do what I wanted with audio files. I don’t remember everything I learned then! And I’m having other issues with my FVP 5000T that I don’t think are good! *sigh*)
