ATSC with xine-vdpau frame drops
by Timothy D. Lenz 30 Apr '09

30 Apr '09

I havd vdr-1.7.5, xine-vdpau r260, vdr-xine .91. Runing on a Athlon64 x2 and Asus en8400gs silent video card. I have a FusionHDTV7 Dual Express in it currently. I am having problems figureing out the proper settings in all the config files. I am getting droped frames, sometimes high enough to cause the popup box. Does it with any of the deint options. I will be setting up two systems basicly the same. One will be going to the HD input on a MITS WS65905 an dthe other will be going through the RGB inputs on a pre-HD (1984) Sony. Currently I just have both ports going to standard computer monitors. The DVI port seems to want to run at 85hz while the VGA is runing at 60hz. id on't know if the high rate on the one is part of the problem. ---------------------------- /etc/X11/xorg.conf has Section "Monitor" Identifier "Monitor0" VendorName "Unknown" ModelName "Unknown" HorizSync 28.0 - 33.0 VertRefresh 43.0 - 72.0 Option "DPMS" EndSection Section "Device" Identifier "GeForce 8400GS" Driver "nvidia" VendorName "NVIDIA Corporation" Option "TwinView" "true" Option "TwinViewOrientation" "Clone" # Option "TVOutFormat" "COMPOSITE" Option "TVStandard" "NTSC-M" Option "TVOverScan" "0.5" # Option "TVDeflicker" "0" Option "SecondMonitorHorizSync" "30-50" Option "SecondMonitorVerRefresh" "59.94" # Option "MetaModes" "1024x768,1024x768;800x600,800x600;640x480,640x480;512x384,512x384" # Option "MetaModes" "800x600,800x600;640x480,640x480" EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "Screen0" Device "GeForce 8400GS" Monitor "Monitor0" DefaultDepth 24 SubSection "Display" Viewport 0 0 Depth 24 Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480" EndSubSection EndSection ------------------------ I don't seem to have any nvidia setings file but I was able to get a dump of what it is using.

'RefreshRate3' can use the following target types: X Screen, GPU. --------------------------- I have also had what seme to be video lockups. First I thought it was the tunner over heating because when it first happened, vdr would not respond to remote and the card was hot. I added heat sinks to the 3 main chips with thermal tape and put an 80mm fan over the card. It is now midly warm but video still locks at times. I can run all night or it can lock within an hour. There are a lot of lines like this in syslog and user.log: Apr 30 15:52:49 LLLx64-32 vdr: [19935] changing pids of channel 0 from 0+0=0:0:0:0 to 49+49=2:0;52=eng,56=eng:0:0 Apr 30 15:52:49 LLLx64-32 vdr: [19935] changing pids of channel 0 from 0+0=0:0:0:0 to 65+65=2:0;68=eng:0:0 Apr 30 15:52:49 LLLx64-32 vdr: [19935] changing pids of channel 0 from 0+0=0:0:0:0 to 81+81=2:0;84=eng:0:0 Apr 30 15:53:09 LLLx64-32 vdr: [19935] changing pids of channel 0 from 0+0=0:0:0:0 to 49+49=2:0;52=eng:0:0 Apr 30 15:00:17 LLLx64-32 vdr: [8107] TS continuity error (8) Apr 30 15:00:17 LLLx64-32 vdr: [8107] TS continuity error (0) Apr 30 15:00:17 LLLx64-32 vdr: [8107] TS continuity error (3) Apr 30 15:00:17 LLLx64-32 vdr: [8107] TS continuity error (6) Apr 30 15:00:17 LLLx64-32 vdr: [8107] TS continuity error (12)

Howto set dvb capability in vdr
by Mr. Tux 30 Apr '09

30 Apr '09

My dvb-t usb device (TwinhanDTV USB-Ter USB1.1 / Magic Box I / HAMA USB1.1) works well with vdr 1.6.0-2, but it can't handle more than one channel at once properly. If I record a channel and tune to a second channel on the same frequency, this will cause artefacts in the recording or in live display of the second channel. How do I change vdr detection of this device, so vdr knows it can only replay/record one channel at once? Is there a patch available already? Vdr should change to the recording channel and lock it during the recording (usefull if someone tries to switch channel by mistake). I do have others dvb device installed in my vdr system - whatever changes I apply should not affect them. Thanks and greetings Mr Tux _________________________________________________________________ http://redirect.gimas.net/?n=M0904xIE8_MSN4 Internet Explorer 8 jetzt für MSN - kostenlos!

Re: [vdr] VDR feature request: GotoStoredPosition
by martinez＠embl.de 29 Apr '09

29 Apr '09

To enable/disable GotoStoredPosition we would need a setting (on/off) on the Diseqc setup menu If on, then in diseqc.conf commands like are sent to the rotor: S19.2E 11700 V 9750 t W15 [E0 31 6B 01] W15 v t S19.2E 99999 V 10600 t W15 [E0 31 6B 01] W15 v T S19.2E 11700 H 9750 t W15 [E0 31 6B 01] W15 V t S19.2E 99999 H 10600 t W15 [E0 31 6B 01] W15 V T (the syntax is E0 header, 31 first rotor, 6B = gotostored position So If gotostoredposition is ON and the third byte of the diseqc 1.2 command is 6B then issue the command, otherwise block it

Re: [vdr] Record with 1.7.4 or 1.7.5 and iptv
by Senufo 28 Apr '09

28 Apr '09

Hi, I found the error. With IPTV you must define the type of stream in channels.conf In my channels.conf I wrote TF1;IPTV:1:IPTV|S0P0|UDP|232.0.1.17|8200:P:0:1217=2:1317:0:0:1:0:0:0 where VPID = 1217 and stream type = 2. If i change stream type with 27 (0x1B in Hexa). Record works fine. Thanks Klaus for your help Senufo On 26.04.2009 18:11, Senufo wrote: >/ Hi, />/ />/ I have add />/ />/ type = 0x1B; />/ />/ before the />/ />/ switch (type) { />/ />/ and now record work fine !! / Well, then all we need is a way to find out the correct video stream type. Apparently the PMT says it is 2, while in fact it is 0x1B. Does anybody know why the PMT is "lying", or how to detect that it actually isn't 2, but 0x1B?

vdr and vdpau
by martinez＠embl.de 27 Apr '09

27 Apr '09

I have installed an nvidia driver with vpdau support, patched xine-lib1.2 with the vpdau patch, and recompiled xine-ui I have improvement with HD channels cpu utilization wise but still choppy image. Do I need to patch vdr itself or change some config options to optimize the speed? nvidia 8200 on-board

BBC HD and vdpau
by Rob Davis 27 Apr '09

27 Apr '09

I'm in a half way stage with VDR and h264. I didn't want the multipro drivers, but wanted to get a few HD channels working with vdpau. I have VDR working with BBC HD almost, and Sky HD +24 and a few others, however, BBC doesn't seem to display properly, as well as having problems with the audio selection. It looks like it has macrovision protection or something like that.. (Using vdr-sxfe and xine-libs with h264 support). As I said, other channels seem to work. I would try ITV HD but there's never anything on... Any tips? (In xxmc it sort of works, but jumps as it doesn't seem to have the guts to play the source.) VDR 1.6.0 with h264 patch. BBC HD works with streamdev :3000/TS/channel info.. on vlc.

ANNOUNCE vdr-ttxtsubs 0.1.0 for VDR 1.7.6
by Tobi 26 Apr '09

26 Apr '09

This is the first version with support for the VDR 1.7.x development branch. VDR versions older than VDR 1.7.6 are not supported anymore! Major credits go to Rolf Ahrenberg! Thanks a lot! The changes: * Updated VDR patch and plugin to VDR 1.7.6 with support for the TS recording format and added separate delay setting for TS recordings. * Silence compiler warning about unchecked read return value. * After replaying, reset the last channel variable and trigger a channel switch to reinitialize the live ttxtsubs display. * Removed unused local copy of vdrttxtsubshooks.c|h The major goal for the future developement of the Ttxtsubs plug-ins is to integrating ttxtsubs into the VDR core. Rolf Ahrenberg already provided solutions for some of the problems regarded to this goal: http://projects.vdr-developer.org/issues/show/117 http://projects.vdr-developer.org/issues/show/118 As always: Any help is welcome! Development site: http://projects.vdr-developer.org/projects/show/plg-ttxtsubs Downloads: http://projects.vdr-developer.org/projects/list_files/plg-ttxtsubs Git-Web: http://projects.vdr-developer.org/git/?p=vdr-plugin-ttxtsubs.git Anonymous Git-access : git://projects.vdr-developer.org/vdr-plugin-ttxtsubs.git For the required VDR-patches, I've also set up a Git-Repository, based on the one maintained by Dieter Hametner: http://projects.vdr-developer.org/git/?p=vdr-patches.git;a=summary git://projects.vdr-developer.org/vdr-patches.git This is intended to be a community maintained project! Don't expect me to fix your problems, I'm merely maintaining the project! Please report any bugs, ideas or feature requests to the project site (no registration required for this!). If you want to contribute patches, new features or whatever, post an issue or patch to the projects issue tracker or request to join the project. I would happily add everyone as a project member, who would like to contribute to the project! If you want to contribute but don't know what to do - start with some code refactoring! Currently some help from translators would be welcome for the Swedish translation. Tobias
