[vdr] Does VDR-1.7.10 support a h264 Datastream from DVB-C card?

[Ruediger Dohmhardt]

Dear list-members,

I'm uncertain about the HDTV-capability of vdr-1.7.9  (or 10).

In September, I had a sytem running, that could  display  the
"Leichtathletik Weltmeisterschaft" from Berlin,
broadcasted by ARD/ZDF in p720.
I was able to receive this via KabelDeutschland (KD) with the
channels.conf entry

    ZDF
HD;ZDFvision:618000:M256:C:6900:6110:6120=deu;6122=deu:6130:0:11110:1:1011:0

That system consisted of vdr-1.7.0 and the xineliboutput plugin, patched
with

   
vdr-1.7.0-h264-syncearly-framespersec-audioindexer-fielddetection-speedup.diff

Today (with vdr-1.7.10 and xineliboutput from cvs) I have TV from KD,
but no HD p720/i1080

My question is:

Do I have a software problem (e.g., a missing patch) or
is there simply no signal on 618MHz (I think, there is supposed to be
one between Christmas and New Years Eve).


Ciao Rüdiger
