Re: [vdr] [Test] Release candidate streamdev-0.5.0-rc1
I missed the the post about this and got cvs on 6/20/2010 trying to get video on the watch tv page of vdradmin. I get nothing. I've also tried pointing the browser directly at http://192.168.0.20:3000/ and while I get connection, I also get no video. I did install mencoder.

Well it seems to be the case, the feed I have is from an oversized dish on a communal system, no dropouts even in heavy rainstorms, I specced it that way :-) Also I checked that the dish alignment was central to the constellation (figure 8 paths) rather than lined up on only one bird as seems to be consumer industry norm! I work in Satellite TV in case you hadn't guessed, although more uplinks and fiber feeds than downlinks. I have 4 feeds, there seems to be no variation is signal strength between them, if I record from DVBS2 on the Satix card I get the odd glitch at the start of the recording, in the first 30 seconds and maybe one glitch in every other 1 hour programme. If I record with the HD S2 or HVR4000 I get 5 or 6 glitches in a 30 minute programme, actually the HVR 4000 seemed worse than the HD S2 but it's ok now I moved it to a different PC, different feed for a different satellite so can't really compare them now. If I record a DVBS transmission BBCHD or ITVHD on my Nova S+ it's fine, rarely ever a glitch, if I use the Satix, the same, the HD S2 gives me 5 or 6 a hour again. I've seen the same problem with very little variation across VDR, MythTV and TV Headend on the same hardware. If I have only a HVR 4000 or HD S2 in the PC it seems to work with almost no glitches. Oh and I'm only talking about HDTV, I record very very little SDTV, the system records about 6 or 7 hours of HDTV a night, three simultaneous recordings is common, of course I only watch a small amount of this :but this is what PVR software is all about :-) > Glitches on DVB are more likely cause by bad reception so receiver > sensitivity and worse S/N ratio would be the most likely causes. > DVB satellites move around the sky in a figure of 8 shape, so > depending on where your dish is pointing, the signal signal strength > might vary over time. > Was the S/N ratio the same on both cards? Haven't checked S/N but I'm not convinced there is any comparability in the S/N stats across different cards, the figures look very untrustworthy and reading the linux-media list suggests the stats across drivers are not to be trusted. The glitches are fairly significant, several frames are missing, a gop or two is affected, in between glitches not a single error, symptoms the same on FTA or encrypted. There doesn't appear to be any corresponding dmesg at the time of the glitches. > It might be that the hard disks are causing the problem or the filesystem. Quite likely, I have 6 sata disks in the main machine, ICH6 & SIL24, Hitachi & Samsung 1TB & 1.5TB drives, I have had significant problems with sata disconnects under Ubuntu 9.04 but no problems at all since going to 10.04. > Which file system are you using?

Glitches on DVB are more likely cause by bad reception so receiver sensitivity and worse S/N ratio would be the most likely causes. DVB satellites move around the sky in a figure of 8 shape, so depending on where your dish is pointing, the signal signal strength might vary over time. Was the S/N ratio the same on both cards? It might be that the hard disks are causing the problem or the filesystem. Which file system are you using? I know rieserfs is particularly bad for low latency application.

I get semi random glitches in the recordings that the Satix doesn't get also my Nova S+ (before it packed up last week) doesn't get the glitches. It's significantly better since the upgrade to Ubuntu 10.04, even though I was running 2.6.33 kernel on 9.04 and latest v4l drivers. My next debugging step will be to ditch my Nova T500 for a while, after some reading on the linux-media list it seems this driver doesn't play nicely with busy interrupts and with three tuner cards and six disks this machine is busy.
