at a first glance, IMHO dynamic buffers are a good thing. we can get
rid of small upper buffer size bounderies all together without wasting
amounts of memory. this should result in even less buffer overflows
when implemented correctly. it seems doable to me.

 I'm curious how streamdev will function with these buffer changes.

it works fine -- i'm using a headless vdr server and streamdev+softdevice 
clients, so
this actually gets tested fairly well.

Example buffer usage from server:

Deleting ring buffer streamdev-streamer size: 262144 / 4194304 (used 6.25% of 
requested size)
Deleting ring buffer streamdev-streamer size: 131072 / 4194304 (used 3.125% 
of requested size)

and the streamdev client TS buffer usually grows to 12.5..25% (ie 256K/512K out 
of 4M max).

It shouldn't. The whole point of posting it is so that other are able
to test and review it. That is why I always mention the overflows.
Right now it's stable enough for production for me, haven't seen any
overflow since adjusting the growth rate, but it would be nice if
somebody with a different vdr setup tested it too (eg a FF card based
vdr).
It will take weeks to verify that the code works as expected (the goal
is to have _fewer_ overflows (compared to the static buffers) while at
the same time a much smaller working set).

Re: [vdr] [ANNOUNCE] VDR sync early patch

2007-05-10 Thread Jaroslaw Swierczynski

Hi,

which version of VDR, vdr-dxr3 and em8300 are you using? I've tried
and ended up with this:

em8300_video.o: Video sync rdptr is stuck at 0x0001b8fc, wrptr
0x0001b9f6, left 250
em8300_video.o: Video sync timeout

I have those messages as well - although not very often - but everything 
works fine.


I'm using em8300-cvs, dxr3-plugin-cvs and VDR-1.5.2 with Extensions-Patch-26
