[vdr] Re: Titming problem? Subtitles with dvd-plugin with xine

["Stefan Norberg" <stefan@orbisec.com>]

Hi Reinhard,

I did apply Sven's patch to xine. Do i need to enable something in the
dvd-plugin too?

Thanks for a great plugin!

Stefan

Does the dvd-plugin use cDevice::GetSTC()? Since release 0.3.3 the reported 
values are correct and tell you the timestamp of the image currently shown
by 
xine.

Without using GetSTC(), the OSD is far ahead of the image. With using
GetSTC() 
it might well be, that the OSD is a little behind the image, due to the 
communication delay to xine and back.

Currently, vdr-xine keeps a pointer to the current OSD object, to be able to

show the current OSD when xine connects to VDR. Usually, there should only 
exist one OSD object at a time, but it might well be, that a second OSD
object 
is constructed before the old one gets destructed.

Such a case might either cause an assert statement to bail out or might
cause 
a crash.
