Also one thing to look out for is that the 1030 actually comes in GDDR5
and DDR4 variants. They are priced very similarly, but performance of
DDR4 is absolute garbage compared to GDDR5!

I doubt this will have an effect when it comes to video decoding
capability, but paying about the same for half the performance doesn't
seem like a good idea to me.

[vdr] Wrong frequency on some channels after setting UpdateChannels higher than 3

2014-02-05 Thread Jukka Tastula
Channels.conf (relevant part, i think) looks something like this

All of these tune fine. However if I set UpdateChannels to 4 (new channels)
or 5 (new transponders) after a couple of seconds it turns into this

MTV3;MTV Oy=Digita

and obviously those channels at 482MHz no longer work.

How is this useful and how do I make it stop? Keeping UpdateChannels at 3 has
been my non-solution for some years now but it's getting annoying when
channels seem to change their settings so infuriatingly often.

 Or, better yet, start VDR with a channels.conf that contains only one single 
 line:
 
 MTV3;MTV Oy=Digita

 and see what happens.

It seems any combination alone or together with anything other than 658 works
and new channels at those frequencies are discovered, but once I add anything 
with 658 in it it immediately causes 482 to change to 658.

 I plan to use vdpau decoding of HD video + temporal spatial deinterlacing +

I'm seeing around 250M total memory use while decoding and deinterlacing 1080i 
to a single 1080 display. Composite extension completely disabled since all it 
does is cause tearing and eat memory like crazy. If all you need is video

The tbs driver package wants to replace _everything_ in the system. Mixing v4l 
modules with the kernel and the tbs package will lead to the issue you're

 earlier, I used to compile lirc separately, but nowadays there are lirc

All I did was disable loading the maps and everything works exactly as

The difference can be extremely hard to see depending on the source material,

 What deinterlacing options should I use on the plugin?  Bob?  TVTime

If the picture is first deinterlaced on the pc and then output (re)interlaced

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.

This setting is only useful if your display device can't scale on its own or 
the scaling is worse quality. If you enable it the card will always output 
native resolution at native refresh.

If disabled the gpu will not touch the mode and output whatever you tell it 
to, in which case the display itself will have to scale the mode as needed.

 Any thoughts?

I had the same kind of issues you describe (bad frame rate, high cpu load, 
tearing, picture freezing for a long while etc) and only fix I found was to 
disable the composite extension in Xorg. You can do it simply by adding 

Section Extensions
  Option Composite Disable
EndSection

to xorg.conf. This will make it impossible to use the hud osd so expect some 
hideous scaling artifacts, but the cpu load stays well under 10% on a Sempron 
LE-1250 clocked at 1.8GHz and frame rates are smooth with no tearing.

Same happens if the channel switches aspect to 16:9 making it rather unusable

That said is there some way to zoom the picture in and out manually with sxfe-
