No stream found

Error message

No stream found

What it means

Thrown by processStreamBuffer at process-stream-buffers.ts:112 when getStreamForId returns null for the given programId. getStreamForId looks up the PID in the PMT's streams array, so a null result means the PID is not declared in the parsed PMT.

Solutions

1. Re-mux the file: ffmpeg -i in.ts -c copy out.ts to ensure PMT lists every PID.
2. Filter to a single program before parsing (ffmpeg -i in.ts -map 0:p:123 -c copy out.ts).
3. Verify with ffprobe that the PID is declared in the PMT.
4. File a bug if the stream plays in ffprobe but fails here.

// Verify every elementary PID is declared in the PMT
import {execSync} from 'node:child_process';
function pmtListsAllPids(src: string): boolean {
  try { execSync(`ffprobe -v error -i "${src}" -t 5 -f null -`, {stdio: 'ignore'}); return true; } catch { return false; }
}

try { await parseMedia({src}); }
catch (e) {
  if (e instanceof Error && e.message === 'No stream found') {
    // undeclared PID - re-mux to a single program
    await runFfmpeg(['-i', src, '-map', '0:v:0', '-map', '0:a:0', '-c', 'copy', out]);
    await parseMedia({src: out});
  } else throw e;
}

When it happens

Trigger: processStreamBuffer calls getStreamForId(structure, programId) and throws on null. Triggered when a transport packet for an undeclared PID reaches processing (e.g. a PID added after the PMT, a private-stream PID, or corruption that rewrites the PID).

Common situations: PMT that does not list all carried PIDs; PID remapping mid-stream; corrupt packet headers; multi-program streams where the wrong program's PID is processed.
