Sorry, I don't have modeline in mine.  Btw, I also use a tv for
output, not a computer monitor.  You need to figure out the correct
settings for your specific output device.

Sorry, don't know about 1.2, I'm using 1.1.  If you are refering to the 1.2
vdpau patches
from http://www.jusst.de/vdpau/files/xine-lib-1.2/ then I believe the r???
number refers 
to the subversion version number of xine-vdpau from
svn://jusst.de/xine-vdpau.  In other
words, the patch takes the xine-lib 1.1 vdpau code and moves it to 1.2. 
Please correct
me if I'm wrong.

Thanks, thats helped quite a bit.  I'm now down to around 1% dropped for
live tv which is
a big improvement.

I have it set to 2500 (don't ask me why, I don't remember).

Thanks for those that suggested this.  It has fixed the freezing.  At the
risk 
of getting annoying I have another question:

With live TV on SD material (e.g. BBC News), I get a lot of dropped frames
(
around 5 %) (HD is worse, around 20%):

video_out: throwing away image with pts 2405874861 because it's too old
(diff : 4078).
200 frames delivered, 0 frames skipped, 10 frames discarded

If I record the channel and play it back it is fine.  Most of my xine
settings are the 
default, except for video_num_frames:

# number of audio buffers
# numeric, default: 230
#engine.buffers.audio_num_buffers:230

# number of video buffers
# numeric, default: 500 - tried 500, 800, 900, 1000, and 1500.  900 seems
to give the best results
#engine.buffers.video_num_buffers:500

# default number of video frames
# numeric, default: 15
engine.buffers.video_num_frames:22 

I have for the xine-ui plugin, the defaults, although I've also tried
setting 
Live-TV buffer and Buffer hysteresis to 5 and 8 with no noticeable
difference.

Any ideas, sounds like there is not enough buffer for live tv?

Many thanks,

I cannot tell if it's the same problem I had, but try uncommenting

Re: [vdr] xine settings for VDPAU SD and HD

2009-06-13 Thread VDR User
I'm afraid I don't have any suggestions other then maybe try a newer
version of xine-ui.  Every time I update xine-vdpau, I update my
xine-ui cvs source as well and all I can really say is that I haven't
experienced the problem you described.  Btw, I don't actually 'update'
my sources, I always grab a fresh copy.  I do this mainly for
archiving purposes and so it's easy to fall back to a previous
revision/tree/whatever in case of problems with the current one.

I was thinking of acquiring an Asus Nvidia 9400GT card that should be
able to do h264 and vc-1. Is the deinterlacer not done by the
hardware/vdpau driver yet? Or should I rather wait a little bit more?

[vdr] xine settings for VDPAU SD and HD

2009-06-11 Thread Scott Waye
I'm trying to get VDPAU working so I can watch HD TV, but I'm having 
trouble getting a good picture.  My question is should I be using the 
xine options:

--post vdr_video --post_audio

or

--post tvtime:method=use_vo_driver

I dont understand what the difference is and whether one is preferred 
over the other for interlaced and/or HD/SD.

My setup:

Asus M3N78-EM (onboard Nvidia 8300)
Athlon Dual Core (set to 2Ghz for now)
HDMI output to Samsung Plasma
Hauppauge Nova SD2

OpenSuse:
kernel 2.6.27.10
Nvidia driver180.51
ffmpeg from svn on 8 June
xine-lib-1.2 from hg on 8 June with r262 patch
xine-ui-cvs-2009041220
vdr-1.7.7
vdr-xine 0.9.2

I have the buffer settings from a previous mail to this list:

engine.buffers.video_num_buffers:2000
engine.buffers.video_num_frames:30

Thanks,

Scott
