Re: [vdr] vdpau experience
Yesterday I tried from scratch: xine-lib-1.2 with r284 patch vdr-xineliboutput cvs (commited 20091106) no cropping patch applied. _Downgraded_ nvidia-drivers to 180.60 SD channels works 100%, bad wifi connection didn't cause vdr-sxfe to crash. So far so good. The crop feature is still not working, but that is to be expected since no patch was applied. Hopefully in future vdr-xineliboutput cvs will support the crop feature again. Had vdr-sxfe running since yesterday. When I return home, I hope to see the vdr-sxfe did not crash. ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr

Changing the channel did cause some artefacts from previous channel to linger, so the first 2 seconds it displays artefacts and/or green blocks.

Re: [vdr] vdpau experience
There is a zoom, but the zoom is restricted to 10%.Not enough I would say? Would aslo be nice to have a 16:10 aspect cropping. For those that use wide screen PC monitors as a Tv.

Re: [vdr] vdpau experience
Hi, I noticed couple of issues with vdpau extention patch set v11: xineliboutput-cvs-20091013-vdpau-extensions-v11.diff.gz xine-lib-1.2-vdpau-r284-extensions-v11.diff.gz 1. Cropping is not reseted if I switch to 16:9 channel that has the same resolution as 4:3 channel that has turn on the cropping. 2. DVB subtitles are not positioned correctly during cropping if vdr- sxfe is used to show subtitles. Vertical alignment is about at half of the screen.

Re: [vdr] vdpau experience
2009/10/24 Theunis Potgieter theunis.potgie...@gmail.com: So far getting vdpau to work on Gentoo wasn't that difficult. Overlay vdr-xine was used and then emerged xine-lib-1.2 to bring the library up to speed. After that I pulled vdr-xineliboutput from cvs. Compiled and it worked great especially deinterlacing! Only jaw dropping experience there. I have before got accustomed to using the cropping feature from vdr-xineliboutput plugin. Crop converts a 4:3 input to 16:9 format. In the README it states: VDPAU All video scaling, cropping, and postprocessing options must be disabled if the VDPAU output device is used. De-interlacing can be enabled with command-line option --post tvtime: Examples: vdr-sxfe --video vdpau --post tvtime:method=use_vo_driver vdr -Pxineliboutput --video=vdpau --post=tvtime:method=use_vo_driver In the mean time, I have seen some patches floating on german speaking forums on how to get cropping feature to work with vdpau. http://vdr-portal.de/board/thread.php?threadid=86804 Does seem to give the impression that it is doable. But I'm having trouble translating that into.. well meaning full non-german speaking end-user noob. Is there anybody that could explain where these patches fit in? I use vdr-xineliboutput, pulled in from cvs and tried to apply the patch xineliboutput-1.0.4-vdpau-support-v8.diff and failed. perhaps command line incorrect? any examples? I don't know how to patch xine-lib either, Gentoo pulls in xine-lib-1.2 from http://hg.debian.org/hg/xine-lib/xine-lib-1.2/ The first line in the diff file for xine-lib is for vdr.h, which I cannot find. The find utility only returns ./xine-lib-1.2/.hg/store/data/include/xine/input__vdr.h.i ./xine-lib-1.2/.hg/store/data/include/xine/vdr.h.i ./xine-lib-1.2/.hg/store/data/src/vdr/combined__vdr.h.i ./xine-lib-1.2/.hg/store/data/src/vdr/input__vdr.h.i ./xine-lib-1.2/.hg/store/data/src/vdr/post__vdr.h.i So I'm stuck, any other Gentoo users here that got those patches working? Thanks, Theunis I managed to get xine-lib-1.2 patched with xine-lib-1.2-vdpau-r284.diff.bz2 There is an overlay called otih, which contained the ebuild xine-lib-1.2._p247.ebuild renaming that ebuild to xine-lib-1.2._p284.ebuild, pulled in the xine-lib-1.2-vdpau-r284.diff.bz2 from http://www.jusst.de/vdpau/files/xine-lib-1.2/ This seemed to have done the job patching xine-lib it self. I am still confused to where xineliboutput-cvs-20091013-vdpau-extensi ons-v11.diff.gz goes. head -n3 returns this: diff -Naurb -x '.[a-zA-Z#]*' -x debian -x CVS xineliboutput-head-orig/Make.config xineliboutput-head/Make.config --- xineliboutput-head-orig/Make.config 1970-01-01 00:00:00.0 + +++ xineliboutput-head/Make.config 2009-06-29 13:25:52.0 + I don't know of a xineliboutput-head package in gentoo, neither does there exists a head on xineliboutput on sourceforge.
