Rewritten 10 March 2020
This program is intended to help Migrate transport stream files from another recoding device to the HDR-FOX T2. If you wish to index native HDR-FOX T2 files then you want sidecar. It is not that Migrate can not index native files, it is that Migrate is (and always will be) slower than sidecar, and, sidecar has the better pedigree.
If the file you wish to play requires a recode the commands using FFMPEG are documented elsewhere in this forum. To recap : for an MPEG (including (*)VCD and DVD rips) :-
ffmpeg -i <filename>.mpg -vcodec copy -acodec copy <filename>.m2ts
and a blu-ray rip is :-
ffmpeg -i <filename>.m2ts -vcodec copy -acodec aac <new filename>.m2ts
and a full recode for an unknown video type is to DVB H264 :-
ffmpeg -i <filename>.<extension> -vcodec libx264 -color_primaries bt709 -color_trc bt709 -colorspace bt709 -pix_fmt yuv420p -level 4.1 -tune film -bluray-compat 1 -slices 4 -sar 1:1 -acodec aac <new filename>.m2ts
Migrate does not recode but it will change from non-standard (from the HDR-FOX T2’s perspective) file formats including, but not limited to :-

- Packet sizes other than 192 bytes (minimum 188 bytes)
- PTS replaced with a random number
- Missing PAT
- Non-UK DTV
