Hi there,
im currently trying to write a Plugin that reads a DVB-TS-File from hard
disk acting as a VDR input device.
To do this i derived my own device from cDevice, reading the file into a
TSBuffer and return it package wise in GetTSPacket.
This somehow works. But the playback is only ok for 2 seconds, and after
that it starts hanging and skipping and i get these "transfer buffer
overflow" messages.
It seems like the data from the file is provided too fast, because the
parts that are skipped are much longer than the time playback is stuck.
Also i can record from the device, and the resulting File is ok, but if
the recording runs for 10 seconds i get a file that is 40 seconds long.
But shouldn't the rate at which the TS-packets are gathered from the
input device be controlled by the output device?
I tried this on two systems, both without DVB hardware:
1: vdr-1.3.44, xine-plugin 0.7.9
2: vdr-1.4.4, xineliboutput-plugin 1.0.0pre5
