 Why not using rotor plugin?
 
 It's working ok even with 1.7.11, but there's a bug with my s2-3200. I
  don't know if it's a HW or SW bug, but if I am on a High Band
  transponder (22khz is active) the rotor doesn't move, so I have to
  switch to a low band transponder first. Workround would be to disable
  22khz in the plugin automatically then rotate und reactive it again
  (if it has been active before). But I don't know how to implement that

This is why originally made the patch (thanks for rotor plugin author
for lot's of useful code). I got fed up to unreliable operation and
messing up of channels.conf with similar frequencies from other
positions. As an example I don't need gotox command repeat any more.
Even with gotox repeat I got large error probability.

For a vdr plugin I could not find a way to merge the operations properly
to other diseqc operations while ensuring compliance with diseqc spec.

I'd separate rotor plugin to a generic channel scan plugin, that it is
doing nicely.

Retrieve (and store position) system of elder motors should be in the
core vdr dvb-s support as well IMHO. The same timing hazard is
potentially there too unless retrieve position is handwritten to
diseqc.conf sequences.

Seppo

  Thanks for the link, now I've finally
  got the correct version:).
  
  I am using 2 DVB cards, it can be adjusted in some way that
  certain

   For me now it works without problem (latest patch is

Yes, unfortunately a plugin has currently no way to indicate that tuning 
 is currently impossible because the dish is moving.
In the actuator plugin I disable the auto-update of channels while the 
dish is moving and restore the previous setting afterwards, but that 
isn't 100% reliable and doesn't help with the detection of dvb subtitles 
(which fails when the dish moves).

[vdr] Strange behavior when replaying audio-only recordings with xine / vdpau

2010-02-14 Thread Joachim Wilke
I am using VDR 1.7.11 with xine / vdpau as output device. Replaying an
audio only recording (e.g. from a radio channel) or an MP3 file (with
mp3 plugin) leads to two strange things:
1.) The progress bar is always several seconds ahead - at the
beginning of the recording it jumps instantly to ~20sec
2.) When pressing exit during playback the sound itself stops
immediately but VDR hangs up to one minute before leaving the replay.

I have no idea what the reason for this could be - does anybody of you
have the same issue?

I do. I have configured 2300 audio input buffers in .xine/config.
In case of vdr-xine, each input buffer gets just a single audio
frame which in case of usual mpeg1 layer2 audio means 24 ms audio.

I haven't check yet, at which rate VDR generates index entries in
case of radio recordings, but some other debug output shows that
playFrame number (i. e. the frame which is currently transfered
to xine) is about 800 ahead of Current (i. e. the frame which
is currently played by xine), which is derived from STC, and
Current is used to draw the progress bar.

If you have a look into dvbplayer.c, you'll find this line:

#define PTSINDEX_ENTRIES 500

It looks like VDR stores only 500 historic frame to pts
associations relative to playFrame. So when you start replaying a
recording, playFrame will quickly run up to something like 800.
As VDR cannot find the STC value provided by vdr-xine in it's
buffer, it will stay at the beginning of it's buffer and return
something like 300 for Current. I assume that 300 is related to
20 seconds.

I've increased the above constant for simplicity just to 5
for testing and the issue is gone at least for audio recordings,
but I haven't tested the change with mp3 plugin yet.

Bye.

[vdr] H264 syncearly patch

2010-02-14 Thread Rob Davis
I am in the process of moving from 1.6.0 to 1.7.12 to test the pvrinput 
plug with a Hauppauge-PVR-HD.  


With 1.6.0 and the h264-syncearly patch I got  a nice picture but no audio..

With 1.7.12 I can get audio but no picture.  I thought h264 support was 
built in already to 1.7.12, but I maybe wrong.  If not, where can I find 
an up to date patch for this?


The old 1.7.0-h264-syncearly patch doesn't seem to work cleanly..

In 1.6.x, cVideoRepacker was responsible to detect H.264 vs.
MPEG2 (cannot tell why audio doesn't work in your case).

In 1.7.x, cChannel provides this information (vtype). So it looks
like pvrinput doesn't provide the information or channels in a
way that vtype gets set to H.264.


 Since I'm the one who is working on supporting the HD PVR with pvrinput:
 Could you point me to some documentation, what kind of information the plugin 
has to provide?
 Simultaneously I'll try to search on my own, but if somebody knows it already, 
it'll be quicker...

regards,
Lars.
