Re: [vdr] PVRInput and Streamdev

2009-08-05 Thread Martin Dauskardt
There is a bug in pvrinput which may also effect streamdev. (I know for sure 
that the bug leads to no picture with vdr 1.7.8)

Have a look in reader.c

There is at four places a wrong assignment. Instead of


ts_buffer[1] = (first ? 0x40 : 0x00) || (kVideoPid >> 8);

it has to be bitwise:

ts_buffer[1] = (first ? 0x40 : 0x00) | (kVideoPid >> 8);


@ rob:
You are using the PVR500 with NTSC? Did you need to patch pvrinput? As long as 
the tuner does not support PAL, it should simply return an error and work 
with the default driver setting (NTSC).
I am working on a new pvrinput release and am looking for a NTSC beta tester. 
If you are interested, contact me privately.

Greets,
Martin

The TS stream produced by pvrinput has no PAT/PMT tables and doesn't provide a
PCR. TS streaming with streamdev-0.3.4 didn't work due to the missing PAT/PMT
tables, as streamdev solely relied on PAT/PMT when in TS mode. This has been
fixed. Take a current CVS version or use a snapshot from
http://streamdev.vdr-developer.org.

The missing PAT/PMT and the missing PCR are however still an issue when
streaming to VLC. VLC won't accept a TS stream without these parts. Use PES
streaming instead.

Cheers,
Frank

[vdr] PVRInput and Streamdev

2009-08-04 Thread Rob Davis
I have just got a pvr500 working with pvrinput and vdr.  However, 
streamdev doesn't seem to work with this card.  Is this just my system 
or am I unlikely to get it working?


As an aside I bought two PAL PVR250's on eBay (the seller thought they 
were NTSC).  He'll take them back but asked me to ask around if anyone 
was interested in a bargain in Europeland for these.  I figured the 
linux / VDR community maybe, especially as they appear to be rare.
