Re: [vdr] desperated with vdr-burn

2006-10-24 Thread Leo Márquez

Lot of thanks!
I don't tested it yet, but when I go home I'll try it.
Seems to be a definitive solution for the problem.

Thanks again.

vdr-burn still fail for me. :-(



Please forget my private mail. With a small hint from Sascha I found the
problem. The usage of $ in the format strings contained in the English
texts lead to a truncation of the string, because VDR uses $ to
separate a context string from the English translation. That's why I
didn't had this problem in German :-)

A fixed Debian package (version 0.1.0~pre21-4) is available in my
repository. Until it's fixed in the CVS, a patch can be downloaded here:

Re: [vdr] FF card A/V sync suggestion

Since it has been several years now and I have never been able to

desync issues with my Nexus-S FF card when playing back recordings...


I'm replaying many recordings (actually most of what I watch
are recordings ;-) and don't even remember when was the last
time I had an A/V desync.


There is one more issue, that seems to be related. On some recordings, 
here RTL Television with AC3 playback, sometimes single frames seem to 
be skipped during playback. I watched a recording of Alarm für Cobra 
11 yesterday and could identify at least 6 little jumps.


I have isolated a 20 MByte part of this recording where this effect was 
clear to see - I can send it by seperated mails or upload it somewhere 
if someone gives me an URL.


The weird thing: Playing those isolated scenes does not show the effect 
as people can see if they play the whole recording from the beginning, 
but rewinding the short clip to a certain point makes it possible to 
reproduce the problem. And again: This just happens when playing back 
the AC3 audio track.


With kind regards

Jörg

So you're certain that it's always picture frames being dropped, causing 
audio to be behind the video?


Despite of the lost frame, the playback seems to be in sync. On the 
other side, I havent heard any jumps in sound yet.
This could only be possible when the timing of audio and video would be 
different and the software would try to keep video and audio in sync by 
dropping sometimes a single video frames.
On the other side, if the same recording works when playing back video 
with the MP2 track, it looks like a buffering or packaging issue, as if 
in this case the DD packages would not fit into a certain time scale.


With kind regards

Since mplayer is open source , someone who is able to do changes on that 
should contact someone at mplayer/xine.
I think Nico Sabbi is working on dvb area on mplayer side. Further i 
think mplayer is checking very closely sync issues. For most stations 
the video stream  should fulfil the task of the PCR stream, but here 
people that really know what they are talking about should step in ;) 
Furthermore mplayer-dvb list might be applicable.

Is it a good card to use with VDR? It's a USB via PCI-device, is this 
a good or a bad thing, does it matter at all? Thanks!

[vdr] Any DST change problems?

2006-10-24 Thread Dave P
We're coming up to the weekend when Daylight Saving Time ends in Europe. I 
seem to recall last time I tried this that there were problems with 
setting timers before the changeover to record programmes after it. Is 
this still an issue, and if so would restarting VDR after the change help? 
I see that timers.conf has the events in 'wallclock' time (when setting 
timers through vdradmin at least).
