Re: [vdr] Switching time
Hi Alex, If you are using debian, yur can use the ffmpeg shipped with lenny. This version of ffmpeg work for me with softdevice. Gruß Halim ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
Re: [vdr] Switching time
I don't know if this helps but I'm using the xine plugin, not xinelibout. ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
Re: [vdr] Switching time
Hi Alex, Switching time with softdevice is great! I have tested all available soft output plugins but softdevice was the fastest regarding switching time. On my machine p4 2400 it is faster than my ff Card. I am using an skystar2 rev 2.6b with softdevice from cvs!

[vdr] Switching time
Hi all, Another question to bother you... How long does it takes to switch a FTA channel on your system? In my case DVB-S. I wonder if this timing sounds ok to you (I think its kind of slow): 1.7.1 + ext64-livebuffer + xinelibout 2 channels on the same transponder - about 2 seconds - video and sound playing right after the switch. 2 channels on different transponders - about 4 seconds - sound is playing right after the switch, image is shown, but start moving about 1 more second later. Please let me know what is your status on that (including version you're using). Thanks. ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr

Sounds long, I can channel change on DVB-T and DVB-S almost instantaneously. You can normally fix this by recompiling your kernel with low latency settings (timer frequency, kernel queuing methods etc) - normally selecting the best settings for a desktop helps. I agree. My channel changes are about 1 second regardless if I'm switching on different transponders or lnbs. ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr

You're saying that kernel provided by distributors (Fedora 10 in my case) is not tuned for desktops? Interesting... Will try that after I'll try moving back to 1.7.0.
