[vdr] 1-2 second gaps in recordings from Finnish YLE channels

2014-10-12 Thread jjtt

Hello everyone

I have noticed an annoying feature in my VDR setup and finally today
found the motivation to do something about it.

In at least some of the recordings I've made from the Finnish YLE-
channels there is a small gap at the start of the actual program and
VDR has chosen to record the rest of the program in a new file.

This is also visible in live viewing and lately I noticed that this
seems to occur pretty much every time at the start of the news, so
today I recorded a small sample while saving the same channel on
another, identical, adapter using:

czap -a 1 -c channels.conf -r 'Yle TV1'
cp /dev/dvb/adapter1/dvr0 2014-10-12-tv1.out.ts


The files produced can be found here (about 200 MB):
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/zhaaowk83dmc85n/AABhEW_DfSgvg2yyIclb3WKAa?dl=0

The news program starts at about 2 min 15 seconds into the recordings


I know there are several other Finns lurking around on this list, but
as far as I know no-one else has reported this.


I'm guessing that the problem has something to do with subtitles and/or
audio tracks, but I'm certainly no expert.


I'm running VDR 2.1.6 with the following plugins:

-Pxineliboutput
-Psuspendoutput
-Pfemon
-Pskinsoppalusikka
-Pepgsearch
-Pepgfixer
-Premote
-Pskinnopacity

and the binaryskip-patch from:
http://www.saunalahti.fi/~rahrenbe/vdr/patches/index.php


I will test to see if the same happens with vanilla VDR and just the
xineliboutput-plugin.

 Do you actually *have* a remote control with non-standard color keys?

My HTPC case came with a non-standard remote, but I solved the problem
as a hardware issue and swapped the buttons on the remote.

All it took was scissors and a small piece of tape.


Still, I think configurable buttons is a good idea.

 Are there some news since then ?

I built a new SandyBridge-based VDR-machine last May and
was sorely disappointed by the intel video drivers. My
initial solution was an old nvidia card, but about a month
ago I finally found a tear-free combination of drivers
and settings.

.xine/config_xineliboutput:
video.output.opengl_renderer:2D_Tex

vdr-sxfe --video=opengl

I run a gentoo system and the following versions are
propably relevant:

x11-drivers/xf86-video-intel-2.17.0-r3
media-libs/xine-lib-1.2.

Vdr is 1.7.22, xineliboutput is from cvs and I do not
use compositing or even a window manager.


HTH and YMMV

I applied the patch and 1.7.9 now shows subtitles from
old recordings correctly.

Thank you.

[vdr] VDR 1.7 and no subtitles with old PES recordings

2009-10-06 Thread jjtt

I'm contemplating updating my trusty 1.6.0 to the latest
development version, but I can't seem to get DVB subtitles
from old recordings to work.

Subtitles are shown corretly both when viewing live tv and
when viewing new recordings, but when viewing old PES
recordings VDR just says that no subtitles are available.

I'm using vanilla VDR and the xineliboutput plugin.


I searched through the archives and the only mention of a
similar problem I could find is the one below, but
unfortunately no solution.

Subject: [vdr] vdr 1.7.4 PTS on old recordings (PES)

I am using vdr 1.7.4 + reelbox plugins (svn today) + the patch provided
by Ales Jurik, http://www.linuxtv.org/pipermail/vdr/2009-February/019504.html

I managed to get the STC working with the reelbox plugin, by setting
audio to soundcard. When I watch live or play a recording made with
vdr 1.7.4 the subtitles are displayed correctly.
  But when trying to play a recording made with vdr 1.6.0 (PES) I get
no subtitles at all.

In void cDvbSubtitleConverter::Action(void) I added:

if (cDvbSubtitleBitmaps *sb = bitmaps-First()) {
   int64_t STC = cDevice::PrimaryDevice()-GetSTC();
+  fprintf(stderr,PTS: %lld  STC: %lld timeout: %d\r\n, sb-Pts(), 
cDevice::PrimaryDevice()-GetSTC(), sb-Timeout());

With the vdr-1.7.4 recording I get:

PTS: 3453357752  STC: 3453096328 timeout: 5
PTS: 3453357752  STC: 3453107848 timeout: 5
PTS: 3453357752  STC: 3453115528 timeout: 5

PTS: 3453357752  STC: 3453184648 timeout: 5

With the vdr-1.6.0 recording I get:

PTS: 4194503  STC: 3346232463 timeout: 3
PTS: 4194455  STC: 3346240143 timeout: 3
