[vdr] why I can't watch the H.264 channel with vdr-1.7.0+H.264?

2008-07-16 Thread LinHai

I have compiled the vdr-1.7.0+H.264+xine-lib-1.2+xineliboutput-1.0.1.
 
But when I run it and select the H.264 channel. There is no image on the 
screen, But I can hear the audio.
 
I can watch the mpeg-2 channes. 
 
MY VDR: debian lenny+multiproto+vdr-1.7.0+H.264+xine-lib-1.2+xineliboutput-1.0.1
 
MY vdr is running on xorg without KDE.
 
why I can't watch the H.264 channel? Who Can tell me?
 
thank you!.

Did you get the audio problems only with HD content? In my case,
sometimes the vdr log is flooding by "xrun" messages. At the same time,
there is really bad sound - like a jumping audius cd :-)

I've tried several non-budget sollutions to get HDTV working with VDR in
combination with my TT S2-3200 budget. With softdevice I wasn't able to
get HDTV output working. However, with Xine plugin and Xineliboutput
plugin I got it working without problems.

I use both the Xine frontend as well as the vdr-sxfe (xineliboutput only)
for viewing and both work without any problems on my AMD X2 Dualcore
system with Geforce 8200 IGP (nVidia binary driver with Xv output).

Mostly with me it was the other way around. Image was good, audio was lost
after a couple of seconds. I fixed this by using the latest trunks from
the Xine and/or Xinelibout plugin as well as the Xine-lib and Xine-ui
repositories.

Dear Pasi,
Out of the box, it only works together with the SageTV server software.
The GUI is rendered on the server, the device acts as a dumb terminal.

However, they released some source code, and I just found some more
technical details on the MythTV wiki:

Hi,

is there an option to use the softdevice plugin to view HDTV content?

Every time I tune to a HD channel, I get: "No accelerated IMDCT

The result is a black screen, but audio is okay.

I run it at the moment with a dubious shell script doing the DVB recording,

[vdr] extending VDR to support external Media software

2008-07-16 Thread Markus Ecker
Hi,I have a question regarding the best way to extend VDR functionality to
support a certain feature.

I've got a linux server running a recording software called SageTV. The
server is connected to two set top boxes that feature hardware MPEG4
decoding.
Although most of the functionality of SageTV is quite nice, it can't compare
to VDR features when it comes to dealing with DVB-S recording.
Having used VDR in my previous setup, I would like to integrate SageTV with
VDR, so I get the best of both worlds, i.e. hardware decoding/user interface
of sagetv,
stability/DVB features of VDR.

SageTV provides a simple API for using external recorders, which requires
the external recorder to listen on a TCP port and record a PS stream to a
file given by sagetv.

My question is: What is the most straightforward way to implement this in
VDR ?

Is it better to adapt an existing plugin like streamdev, or is it simple
enough to write a plugin from scratch for this purpose?

Is there some documentation available on how to use the VDR api ?

I would greatly appreciate any hints in this matter.

Thank you,
Markus

Hi Matthias :-)

That could be one solution. The 1.3 cards are known to have heat problems.

Thats an option. You only need one FF card to do the video-output and so on.
I've also One FF and one budget card and that works really fine.

I don't know any drawbacks, but maybe others know some?

Re: [vdr] 576i output on DVI->HDMI?

2008-07-16 Thread Stuart Morris
It's my understanding that it is the pixel rate that
is doubled to meet the minimum bandwidth requirement
of 25Mpixels/sec for hdmi.
That is pixels are repeated hence doubling the
apparent horizontal resolution.
This is always the case for the 480i and 576i modes.
The modeline you need should be based on standard
EIA/CEA-861B timings like this:

# 1440x576i @ 50Hz (EIA/CEA-861B)
ModeLine "1440x576" 27.000 1440 1464 1590 1728 576 581
587 625 -hsync -vsync Interlace

Unfortunately I think there is a special flag that
must be set to indicate pixel-repetition is being used
and I am not sure how you would get a graphics card to
do this.
I have not tried using the above modeline so I cannot
comment on whether it works.
Worth a try though.

There is a good list of EIA/CEA-861B modes here:
http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=947830&page=3
I do know the 720p modeline works on my tv.
GTF timings generally don't work for hdmi.

The other issue with interlaced modes is how are the
odd/even fields synchronised?
Is this the same problem with interlaced output on a
good old vga output?

I have often wondered how vdr-xine or xineliboutput
would implement dynamic resolution switching.
It would be easy to upscale everything to a higher
resolution like 1080p.
But what if your tv can handle only 1080i at best.
It would be better to switch resolution
when broadcasts change between 1080i and 720p on a
program-to-program basis.

DVB-cards are numbered starting from 0
