Hi, Morfsta schrieb: I patched ffmpeg and did a make make install and the recording is still the same on my system. Do I have to re-compile xine-lib? Sure, because you need the fixes in xine-lib's FFmpeg interfacing file ff_video_decoder.c, too. And you'll have to specify a deinterlacer as mentioned on the vdr-portal page. Bye. -- Dipl.-Inform.

Hi, Morfsta schrieb: Now I have noticed another problem - there is a strange fuzz effect (like tearing, but not exactly the same) on some broadcasts and not on others. At first I thought it was the graphics setup on fast panning, but this is not the case - it affects static images also. I saw this on BBC HD and HD2/5. I managed to capture a snippet of the BBC HD preview that demonstrates this - it's very strange because clips before and after this preview snippet were fine again so it must be something to do with this particular HD recording as part of the preview...

Hi, Morfsta schrieb: I have just tried it on BBC HD (Astra 2 - H264/MBAFF) as well as HD2/5 (Astra 3 H264/???) and I get video jumping every 2 seconds. Here is the [clipped] output from xine (verbose=3): - video_out_xshm: video mode depth is 24 (32 bpp), TrueColor, not swapped, Is there a special reason why you use -V xshm and not -V xv? The later would do colorspace transformation in hardware. HD recordings also show the same symptoms. If you are interested I am currently uploading a minute of BBC HD recording (140Mb) Please provide a link to this recording. Bye. -- Dipl.-Inform.

Hi reinhard, Is this patch only for (new) radio-recordings??? I tried it but sometimes I am getting a seeg fault when trying to play old recordings. My client vdr is a vdr-1.4.7 with softdevice.

Hi, Morfsta schrieb: The picture was very good, but there was dropped frames that xine reported and the stuttered on occassion and then ran very quickly to catch up. Playing around with the settings in xine (setting threads to 2 etc) didn't really make much difference. However, for the first time I've spent playing with this I was impressed with the picture quality out of VDR. Top reported that the CPU was ~40% idle so I don't know why I saw dropped frames... Frame duration wasn't set at all in xine-lib for this case. xine-lib-1.2 contains now a fix for this issue. The fix is part of vdr-xine-0.8.0's xine-lib.patch for xine-lib-1.1.8, too. One other thing I noticed though was when using XVMC (-V xxmc) to view normal MPEG2 channels the VDR OSD looked terrible (very blockly looking) and playing with the settings in the xine plugin did not make it better. Any recommendations on improving this? When using MPEG4 (i.e. software accel) the OSD was fine. xxmc's OSD support allows only 16 colors. I assume, you've enabled font antialiasing in VDR, which requires much more than 16 colors. This is the case for hardware accelerated MPEG2 decoding. For H.264, xxmc falls back to xv where there is no such limitation. You may also want to try to choose unscaled OSD in vdr-xine's setup menu, which renders the OSD on top of the video image, using libX11. It is therefore not limited to 16 colors but doesn't support OSD transparency at all. Bye. -- Dipl.-Inform.

I will see if the new version of openchrome and libXVmc fixes something (CPU was 15% when I started this VDR journey). Zaps fast. Locks solid when right clicking to get the xine menu... It would be interesting, where the deadlock occurs. To analyze the deadlock, please compile xine-lib and xine-ui with debug information by running configure like that: CFLAGS='-g3 -O0' ../xine-lib/configure --prefix=/soft/xine-lib-cvs --enable-debug --disable-optimizations --with-external-ffmpeg --disable-dxr3 CFLAGS='-g3 -O0' ../xine-ui/configure --prefix=/soft/xine-ui-cvs --enable-debug --disable-optimizations --enable-vdr-keys When the deadlock occurs, run gdb like that: gdb /path/to/xine `pidof xine` There will be a lot of libraries listed by gdb. Among the output gdb will also report for which libraries it could find debug symbols. For the best result, try to install missing debug symbols if your Linux distribution provides them. For simplicity, quit gdb by typing quit and let xine alive. Restart gdb as mentioned above until debug symbols for all libraries are available. Then type the following command into gdb: thread apply all bt gdb will then output the backtrace of each thread (and there will be about 20). Please report the backtraces here. How do I set the PCM volume on startup? The setting in the OSD? When VDR sets the volume, vdr-xine stores this value internally. When xine connects to vdr-xine, the stored value will be transmitted to xine. Please have a look into VDR's setup menu. There exists a setting which controls whether VDR shall restore the last set volume when it starts. When VDR doesn't restore the volume setting, then vdr-xine's internal value will be 0 and xine's volume will be set to 0, too. Bye. -- Dipl.-Inform.

Hello, Morfsta thanks you very much for your report vdr-1.5.9 with the earlier h264 patch (I didn't see the seperated patch for 1.5.10 yesterday) can you try with yesterday patch for 1.5.10 ? The only test channel I could try it on at the moment is the BBC HD service on Astra 2 which is FTA, DVB-S and mpeg4 (MBAFF). Used tvtime Greedy2Frame deinterlacer in xine. can you try with others dvb-s FTA hdtv channels ? http://ru.kingofsat.net/hdtv.php regards Igor ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
