I'm running vdr-1.7.0 with : -- SNIP -- - and xineliboutput-1.0.3 plugin This last one causes me some pb. It looses frames. Is there a particuliar version or patch to use as it is outputing in log : video_out: throwing away image with pts 3640842 because it's too old (diff : 116836). You might want to try the vdr-xine (or xine) plugin or use xine for playback instead of vdr-sxfe. In my case, the vdr-sxfe application is rather unstable, has more problems with HDTV streams and it crashes frequently. Xine however, is very stable. In my case, I use the vdr-xine plugin and start Xine the following way: /usr/bin/xine -V xv -f -D --post vdr_video --post vdr_audio --post upmix_mono --post vdr --verbose=2 vdr:/tmp/vdr-xine/stream#demux:mpeg_pes Make sure you edit $HOME/.xine/config and edit the following items: video.processing.ffmpeg_choose_speed_over_accuracy:1 video.processing.ffmpeg_pp_quality:0 video.processing.ffmpeg_skip_loop_filter:all video.processing.ffmpeg_thread_count:4 The thread_count should be the number of CPU's you have (in my case it's four). With the above startup line and the settings in the config file, I'm able to watch 1080i HDTV streams with any problems on a Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q6600 @ 2.40GHz with a Geforce 7160 IGP (using the 180.22 nvidia drivers).

Re: [vdr] S2-3200 vdr needed material ?
Have you tried to compile vdr with the livebuffer patch? This makes xineliboutput work with VDR (at least 1.7.1). No, and I am little confused where is the version I could try with vdr.1.7.x. I found out 3 candidates while googling, should I try one of these with vdr-1.7.3 or some other one? - http://home.vrweb.de/~bergwinkl.thomas, This page mentions the patch only for vdr-1.5 - VDR-Extensions-Patch-65/vdr-1.7.2_extensions.diff seems to include livebuffer patch (but has unfortunately also many other patches within same patch and wont propably apply with 1.7.3) - VDR-Extensions-Patch-65/plugin-patches/setup-0.3.1-livebuffer.diff Mika ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
Re: [vdr] S2-3200 vdr needed material ?
In the bugtracker you'll find a patch which makes streamdev compile again. It comments out the PES output stuff which causes the problems until a clean solution is available. http://www.vdr-developer.org/mantisbt/view.php?id=506 Thanks, I applied that patch and streamdev build then fine for vdr-1.7.3 Here are my test results. (5 days old s2-liplianin, hvr-1300 for dvb-t and hvr-4000 for dvb-s/s2) 1) Watching and switching between DVB-T channels (both withing same mux or different muxes) worked ok just by giving commands like mplayer http://localhost:3000/TS/1 mplayer http://localhost:3000/TS/3 2) Watching of DVB-S and DVB-S2 worked most of the times if I did it in the following sequence - close vdr-1.7.3 - switch to dvb-s/dvb-s2 channel for example by using ./szap-s2/szap-s2 -a 1 -S 2 -c channels.conf arteHD - close szap-s2 with ctrl-c - launch vdr-1.7.3 - open same channel that was earlier szapped: mplayer http://localhost:3000/TS/6 If I did not pre-tuned s/s2 channel I wanted to watchfirst with szap, mplayer just showed in console: Connecting to server localhost[127.0.0.1]: 3000... Cache size set to 320 KBytes Cache fill: 0.00% (0 bytes) Sometimes I also needed to use szap-s2 multiple times for being able to watch s2 channels. On those failing cases mplayer showed Cache fill: 0.00% (0 bytes) TS file format detected. VIDEO MPEG2(pid=6210) AUDIO MPA(pid=6221) NO SUBS (yet)! PROGRAM N. 0 Stream not seekable!

What are your channel switching times? I've used 1.7.1 + extension patches 64 to have the livebuffer + xinelibout and was unhappy with switching time, even on the same transponder. I've went back to 1.7.0 + the same xinelibout and see big improvements in switching time. I can see sync early messages in VDR logs, so I assume it makes the difference.

Q to all : The software output plugins had problems with 1.7.1 and 1.7.2 ( and perhaps 1.7.3?). Can anybody confirm that this problem still exists? Because the reason why I don't upgrade to newer editions, is because newer versions had problems with the vdr-xine and vdr-xineliboutput plugins. Seems still to have. At least xineliboutput-1.0.3 builded but failed to work with 1.7.3. (vdr-sxfe outputs lot of error messages when running). I did not test the cvs version but at least that also failed with vdr-1.7.2. latest streamdev from CVS failed to build again 1.7.3 (builded ok with 1.7.2 and could be used for showing data once if I just had first tuned to some channel with szap/szap-2 before launching vdr-1.7.2.

According to LinuxTV Wiki for your card (source: http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/TechnoTrend_TT-connect_S2-3600): - Multiproto (not advisable, since it's absolete) - S2API (More precise: http://mercurial.intuxication.org/hg/s2-liplianin) And for VDR 1.7.x, you have two choices: - VDR 1.7.0 in combination with my patches from October; - VDR 1.7.3 which was released this week; If you're running a budget only system (read, no Reel eHD for hardware decoding off H264 or MPEG2) you might want to stick to VDR 1.7.0 because of some issues with the current plugins like xine and/or xineliboutput (at least, this is what I read on the ml).
