Re: [vdr] Advice on new motherboard, xineliboutput, vdpau, hdmi video audio, etc.

2010-08-28 Thread Rob Davis
Sorry to jump in on this, but I wonder if people could suggest what the 
settings should be in xineliboutput plugins options?


I have just upped my card from an 8400 to an N210 with 512MB ram in 
order to get 1080i/60hz interlacing working.  It's an improvement, but I 
think I still have somewhere to go.


I am using a Eurospec TV although am trying to use it at 60hz (I moved 
to the US from Italy) via a DVI to HDMI cable.  I have two modelines, 
which I switch by my remote using the xrandr command, 720p60 looks 
better, but I think I should using 1080i


I have two ATSC card which show 720p60 and 1080i60 and a Hauppuage PVR 
HD and the pvrinput plugin, this I use to show HD content from a cable 
box.  That I can select to either 1080i or 720p.  Most of the content is 
originally broadcast in 1080i.


I am using

ModeLine 1920x1080i60 74.18 1920 2008 2052 2200 1080 1084 1094 1124 
+HSync +VSync Interlace

and
Modeline 1280x720_60 74.48  1280 1336 1472 1664  720 721 724 746 
-HSync +Vsync


X won't display the correct resolution by default, as my edid is messed 
up on my TV.


What deinterlacing options should I use on the plugin?  Bob?  TVTime 
then scaler Bob?  Judder correct etc etc?


Most SD stuff here is badly done 4:3, with stations like BBC America 
adding black bars to the top and bottom, so I get a square in the middle 
of the TV.  Xineliboutput can zoom this quite well, but after a while 
the whole picture judders until I kill vdr-sxfe and reload it.


Do I need FFMpeg to work alongside it or will that kill vdpau?

Thanks..

Hi; a feature request:
- could you add a method for deleting the downloaded video files?

I would find this most useful - having to take a ssh connection to the
HTPC for deleting files is a bit cumbersome.


Currently webvideo doesn't even keep track of which files it has 
downloaded. I think that the proper place to delete the videos is the 
media player. For example in xineliboutput's media player's file list 
the yellow key deletes a file.


Ah.  Anyone know how to delete a file with the mplayer plugin?

yours,
Jouni

[vdr] [ANNOUNCE] vdr-dxr3 0.2.11

2010-08-28 Thread Ville Skyttä
vdr-dxr3 version 0.2.11 is out, changes since 0.2.10:

- OSD, demuxer and audiodecoder fixes for vdr 1.7.14 (Luca Olivetti)
- Don't switch to digital AC3 mode if configured to use analog (Luca Olivetti)
- Ignore H.264 streams, display notSupported.mpg instead (Luca Olivetti)
- Fix build with recent (May 2010) ffmpeg (Ville Skyttä)

0.2.x is the stable series of the dxr3 plugin, targeted primarily for VDR 
1.6.x at the moment, but it should work to some extent also with VDR 1.7.x.  
More extensive work on the next version is underway at http://projects.vdr-
developer.org/projects/show/plg-dxr3

Downloads are available at:
http://projects.vdr-developer.org/projects/list_files/plg-dxr3 and

The difference can be extremely hard to see depending on the source material, 
viewing distance and display size. 

 What deinterlacing options should I use on the plugin?  Bob?  TVTime
 then scaler Bob?  Judder correct etc etc?

If the picture is first deinterlaced on the pc and then output (re)interlaced  
and the tv deinterlaces again I'd expect some massive quality loss from this 
pointlessness.

If the tv won't accept 1920x1080p60 then you're probably better off using the 
vdpau deinterlacer (--post tvtime:method=use_vo_driver) and 1280x720p60 mode.
