How do I grab images in a background thread?
by Markus Maeder 02 Mar '05

02 Mar '05

The snapshot plugins I looked at, make the snapshot from the primary device cDevice::PrimaryDevice()->GrabImage(FileName, m_Jpeg, m_Quality, m_SizeX, m_SizeY) That's not what I want. :( ----- Weitergeleitete Nachricht von Sergei.Haller(a)math.uni-giessen.de ----- Datum: Wed, 2 Mar 2005 08:12:46 +0100 (CET) Von: Sergei Haller <Sergei.Haller(a)math.uni-giessen.de> Antwort an: Klaus Schmidinger's VDR <vdr(a)linuxtv.org> Betreff: Re: [vdr] How do I grab images in a background thread?

Is there a current Mplayer.sh for apid selection?
by C.Y.M 02 Mar '05

02 Mar '05

Since Mplayer 0.9.8, there was a new option to select the audio pid during play back. There were a few patches floating around and the one attached to this email is what I am currently using against the current version of mplayer.sh. But, I am having a problem with this patch as it sometimes selects the secondary audio track (which is usually in a different language) and I am unable to get mplayer to use the primary apid. I have attached this patch as reference, but there is something still wrong with the audio selection. Does anyone have a working solution?

Do you think that 88% are not good, too? What values are good? (I thought my installation was "perfect": quad-LNB with an 8-fold-multiswitch and the cables to the vdr-box are about 6 meters long.) > >What is the reason for the "unknown picture type"? > > VDR is "out of sync" when trying to interpret the data AFAIK.

Mplayer plugin no longer displays picture (or sound)
by John Grant 01 Mar '05

01 Mar '05

Following some useful pointers last week I have now managed to get from 2.6.9 to 2.6.11rc5 and my panics seem to be a thing of the past, but now mplayer no longer works. I updated my scripts to use the now-renamed frontends and that all seems fine, but when I start playback with mplayer I get a brief black screen and then live video returns. However, I can see get_percent_pos messages scroll past and hear the cd drive spinning. Yes, I do have mpegpes compiled in and I did recompile mplayer just in case.

There's a UK dealer (Aria IIRC) offering a dead pixel check for an extra £15. If it's working when they sell it, then it should stay working AFAIK; I don't think LCDs deteriorate pixel by pixel. Everything should be at least as reliable as a CRT except for the backlight. Both of mine have one dead pixel each near the edges, and it isn't a problem for me. They still look just as good as when they were new. -- TH * http://www.realh.co.uk
