I don't know what's "normal" for a DVB-T signal. The DVB-T signal is digital so when an error occurs (e.g. burst of electrical interference) there is error detection, there may be some facility for error correction, but there is no opportunity for retransmission so there will be errors in the datastream sent to a playing application.
The usual behaviour of audio/video players when they encounter errors while decoding a broadcast signal, is to either repeat the last good video frame/audio sample or in the case of long gaps insert black frames/silence samples until the next good frame is received. It is not normal to stop. However VLC is a player which doesn't expect errors as it usually plays file or TCP/IP media streams and so perhaps the DVB layer which has been grafted onto VLC may have shortcomings. That said, since DVB has been around for a number of years I would expect VLC to behave properly and be a good player. So if VLC seems to processing the data stream even after these errors (you can check by using the GUI and looking at the stream's statistics via Tools/Media Information/Statistics tab). If it is processing the audio stream after the errors then you original problem may not be related to these DVB-S errror. -- bpa ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=21804 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
