xine vdpau not working?
by Simon Baxter 10 Jan '10

10 Jan '10

Hi This is more related to xine than VDR, but I can't get vdpau to work on my VDR box. Everything appears to compile fine, but if I do: xine --list-plugins | grep vdpau I get nothing. I can start xine with : xine --verbose=2 -V vdpau -A alsa --post vdr_video --post 001.vdr but it plays in xv "video_out_xv" (see attached) I can even start with xine --verbose=2 -V biggirlsblouse -A alsa --post vdr_video --post vdr_audio --post upmix_mono 001.vdr and it still plays in xv with no errors. ANY IDEAS?? I'm using xine-lib-1.2 and patching with xine-lib-1.2-vdpau-r286.diff which was configured with: ./autogen.sh --with-vdpau --enable-debug --disable-optimizations --with-mpc=no then using xine-ui xine-ui-cvs-20090617220000 built with ./autogen.sh --enable-vdr-keys --disable-lirc My only library plugins are now xine-lib-1.2: ldconfig -p | grep xine libxine.so.2 (libc6,x86-64) => /usr/local/lib/libxine.so.2 libxine.so (libc6,x86-64) => /usr/local/lib/libxine.so ls -l /usr/local/lib/libxine* -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 825 2010-01-09 11:59 /usr/local/lib/libxine.la lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 2010-01-09 11:59 /usr/local/lib/libxine.so -> libxine.so.2.0.0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 2010-01-09 11:59 /usr/local/lib/libxine.so.2 -> libxine.so.2.0.0 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1118042 2010-01-09 11:59 /usr/local/lib/libxine.so.2.0.0 Kernel is: 2.6.27.29-170.2.78.fc10.x86_64 nvidia drivers are: kmod-nvidia-2.6.27.29-170.2.78.fc10.x86_64-180.60-1.fc10.1.x86_64 xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs-180.60-1.fc10.x86_64 Video card is: 00:0d.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation GeForce 6150SE nForce 430 (rev a2) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) Subsystem: Giga-byte Technology Device d000 Flags: bus master, 66MHz, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 22 Memory at f2000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16M] Memory at e0000000 (64-bit, prefetchable) [size=256M] Memory at f3000000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16M] [virtual] Expansion ROM at 50000000 [disabled] [size=128K] Capabilities: [48] Power Management version 2 Capabilities: [50] Message Signalled Interrupts: Mask- 64bit+ Count=1/1 Enable- Kernel driver in use: nvidia Kernel modules: nvidia, nvidiafb Any ideas??

Record HD broadcasts not working if the FF card is the primary device
by Markus Ehrnsperger 10 Jan '10

10 Jan '10

Hi, I can record HD broadcasts only if vdr-sxfe is running. I can always record SD broadcasts. I have an FF and a DVB-S2 card. I cannot watch HD broadcasts using the output device of my FF card, of course. But, it should be possible to record these broadcasts, even if they cannot be displayed with the current primary device (FF card). In the log, there are the following messages (repeated very often): ERROR: TS packet not accepted in Transfer Mode ERROR: TS packet not accepted in Transfer Mode ERROR: driver buffer overflow on device 2 This error is reproducible during one recording: 1) vdr-sxfe running, start recording (recording works) 2) exit vdr-sxfe (recording interrupted from this time) 3) start vdr-sxfe again (recording continues) I use the xineliboutput plugin and starting vdr-sxfe forces this plugin to become primary device. I can start VDR without the FF card (using --device). In this case, HD recording works always. Markus

Re: [vdr] [Patch] Allow to limit SVDRP port to given IP
by Manuel Reimer 10 Jan '10

10 Jan '10

Hello, I've attached a second patch. This patch changes VDR's svdrp port handling in the following way: If only the localhost item is found in svdrphosts.conf, then the port is attached to "INADDR_LOOPBACK", which makes it impossible to reach the port from outside. As soon as even one additional item is added, the port is opened to "INADDR_ANY", again, so the port is accessible from network. This way, the default configuration of VDR is "rock solid" and there should be no need to disable svdrp at all. We also have no additional configuration mechanisms. The user only has to work with svdrphosts.conf, as he did with previous VDR versions.

Hello, Switch off composing is not needed on latest drivers (it was bug, but it is fixed) Except this I have similar problem, independent to composite desktop on or off. CPU usage from xine is between 5%-50% and it drop video frames. All libs (ffmpeg, x264, xine-lib-1.2-vdpau, xineliboutput) are from yesterday repositories, driver is latest beta (195.30) http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?p=2134207 Jiri Date: Sat, 09 Jan 2010 22:17:19 +0100 From: Steffen Barszus <st_barszus(a)gmx.de> Subject: Re: [vdr] xine vdpau not working?

Depending on your CPU - this is to high CPU usage still. I have below 10% at HD and around 5% or lower for SD while watching TV. Also denoise/sharpen of vdpau on SD content provides quite good quality picture even on SD. > > Currently I only have SD content to watch and my Sony Bravia 32V only > > supports up to 1360x668. Any point using vdpau? > If you are fine with xv - but see above - the only time i came in that range IMHO was back at the days where i still used my Turion ML-30 at some of the HD stations (not all).

Hello, xine-lib must be patched, patch for this you can found on xine plug in directory. It add connection between vdr&xine Except this xineliboutput plug in with external frontend (vdr-sxfe included in this plugin) it more useful a don't have problems with jumping on video&sound. I have another problem when ANY version of xine&VDPAU drop video frames. Some HW is better, some is worst. It happen when PC is under heavy load (example compilation on background). run xine (vdr-sxfe) with "nice -n -20" help little bit but problem still exist. Worst situation is HD 1080i video on integrated Nv6300, it drop around 90% of frames. Yes, I am sure that VDPAU is used, and I am not use any video filter except deinterlacer in VDPAU.

vdr-xine - skipping audio & video
by Simon Baxter 09 Jan '10

09 Jan '10

Hi - am at my wits end!!! I've now tried vdr-xine-0.9.3 with XV and with VDPAU, and several settings in .xine/config for engine.buffers.audio_num_buffers (2300) and engine.buffers.video_num_frames (60) but I still get skips in audio and video when viewing recorded programs - which I don't get in vdr-xine-0.8.0. The skips occur at the same time as VDR console messages "buffering xx frames", and start out OK when watching the program but within a few minutes deteriorate further and further. I've been trying to upgrade from 0.8.0 since 2007 now - but it's the only version which works flawlessly for me. My production box has: vdr-1.6.0 fedora 10 with latest kernel fluxbox and X window manager latest standard v4l-dvb drivers plugins: vdr-xine-0.8.0, iptv, epgsearch, skinenigmang, femon, radio, recstatus, pvrinput. xine started with : xine --no-splash -Bfpqg --hide-gui -r anamorphic -V xv -Dtvtime:method=Greedy2Frame,cheap_mode=0,pulldown=0,use_progressive_frame_flag=1 --post vdr_video --post vdr_audio vdr://tmp/vdr-xine/stream#demux:mpeg_pes I've tested the following vdr-1.7.9 with the s2-liplianin drivers vdr-1.7.9 with the standard latest v4l-dvb drivers vdr-xine various versions from 0.8.1 right up to 0.9.3 xine-lib-1.2 with VDPAU and with XV output started by either: xine --no-splash -Bfpqg --hide-gui -r anamorphic -V vdpau -Dtvtime:method=Greedy2Frame,cheap_mode=0,pulldown=0,use_progressive_frame_flag=1 --post vdr_video --post vdr_audio vdr://tmp/vdr-xine/stream#dex:mpeg_pes OR xine --no-splash -Bfpqg --hide-gui -r anamorphic -V xv -Dtvtime:method=Greedy2Frame,cheap_mode=0,pulldown=0,use_progressive_frame_flag=1 --post vdr_video --post vdr_audio vdr://tmp/vdr-xine/stream#demux:mpeg_pes Can someone share their experiences with VDPAU and vdr-xine, or offer any suggestions??? Thanks Simon
