Re: [vdr] xinelib error??? video_out: RESOLVED
I'm having intermittant problems when replaying vdr recordings with xineliboutput. Every few minutes I get an audio/video slip/break and stdout reports: video_out: throwing away image with pts 124350653 because it's too old (diff : 29229) I've resolved this by using: -P"xineliboutput --primary --local=none --remote=37890" and xine "xvdr:tcp://127.0.0.1:37890#nocache;demux:mpeg_block" # for tcp rather than --local=sxfe seems to have fixed the slips etc now to get vdr-sxfe working on the remote machine... ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr

VDR User wrote: about this... Copy the mplayer code that does the PES layer and slap it into vdr just to test if the problem persists? I don't think that it is that easy. Its just educated guessing, but I assume that the mpeg data is going a long way through the mplayer core, through demultiplexers, resyncers, multiplexers, playback control and lots of more stuff. Thats probably several thousand lines of code that need to be reviewed, rewritten and integrated into VDR. Thats a huge task, and its probably easier to re-implement every step mplayer does in VDR from scratch. It seems that the majority opinion is this is in fact a vdr issue rather than a firmware issue Once again, I don't agree. VDR does almost nothing on playback. VDR recordings are streams of PES packets, and the DVB driver accepts PES packets for playback. The only thing VDR does is to drop video packets into the video interface and audio packets into the audio interface. (If there wouldn't be the need to separate video from audio, you could probably simply do cat 001.vdr > /dev/dvb/adaper0/video0 and it would play.)

Re: [vdr] FF card A/V sync suggestion
First, I too want to express my gratitude & appreciation towards the people actively persuing a once & for all fix to this problem! So what about this... Copy the mplayer code that does the PES layer and slap it into vdr just to test if the problem persists? It seems that the majority opinion is this is in fact a vdr issue rather than a firmware issue but whats the opinion of the person who develops the firmware (if anyone knows)?

Basically, with xineliboutput it indicaters your A/V sync is out of order... ? or you are really out of CPU power.

That's right. Typically running vdr nd vdr-sxfe iun same machine takes up to twice the CPU load compared to separate systems.
