Re: [vdr] VDR-xine + ffmpeg? (h.264 problems)
Hi, Jelle De Loecker schrieb: I had to remove *-V xvideo --post vdr_video --post vdr_audio --post upmix_mono *or I would not have any sound. (Well, sound would play for a nanosecond and then drop out.) Hhm, I don't think that xine --help lists 'xvideo' near -V. I'm not sure which driver xine uses if it cannot find the specified one -- most likely xv. But removing the -V option would choose xv too, so why is there a difference? Regarding video: Morfsta sent me some samples of BBC HD which are interlaced but have incorrectly set the progressive_frame_flag. Forcing deinterlacing of such scenes with use_progressive_frame_flag=0 improves image quality but the default field order is incorrect which leads to a jumpy replay like that (assuming the correct order would be 1 2 3 4 5 6): 2 1 4 3 6 5 Bye. -- Dipl.-Inform.

It had some patches for better h.264 playback, but when I tune to BBC HD, it's still painfully slow, and the image is quite bad, too! I compiled xine with the ffmpeg option (external ffmpeg or something) but I never installed ffmpeg nor are there any instructions on how to do so. I mean, I could compile ffmpeg eventually, I just need to know if I need to apply any more patches or so ... I installed ffmpeg from the repository, but it doesn't seem to have any effect.
