burn-plugin: menu and sync
by Thorsten Schnebeck 02 Mar '05

02 Mar '05

Hi, first time I tried the burn-plugin to copy two recordings to dvd. I only generate an ISO-image and checked this via loop-device. Later I used a separate growfs-command to generate a dvd. It is not possible to use the generated menu with my dvd-players (checked: xine, powerdvd, vdr-dvd-plugin). A second issue is, that audio and video of the second recording are nearly one second out of sync. When I play the vdr-file sync is fine. Are these known problems? Especially the menu-stuff is annoying. Bye Thorsten

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?

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

RE: [vdr] OT: Best DVI Video Card for Xine

Like I already said it can be problem of TV. And to be clear, FLI can be the best deinterlacer hardware for PAL material, but on my environment it has its limitations, and I see that on scrolling news tickers, and it annoys a bit. But I am wondering, what chip then in TV's make the decision what type of deinterlacer is needed? Most logical place IMO would be deinterlacer chip, because it makes the conversion also. ADC's just dump fields to RAM. Thats why I wrote that Philips should have menu option or similar to make Faroudja to do just PAL deinterlacing with 50Hz. > Normally, the FLI2300 are thought of as the best deinterlacer > for stuff like sports etc (video mateial) (vs SI). > > > doesn't allow this. I see that this is problem of my TV, but if > > Faroudja was good it would not do this. > > So, what scaler/deinterlacer do you have on your proj? I think it is Pixelworks. But it is projectors backend system feature to control deinterlacer/scaler. It has 3 options, none, video and film. Film is autosense for 24/50 material, video is just 50. > > HTPC also can read MPEG streams flags to aid deinterlacing/inverse > > telecine, and Faroudja's don't have that stuff because they > are behind > > video line on TVs/projectors. > > This is true, but as long as we do not have CPU´s powerful > enougth, hardware solutions will be better. I tend to use Nvidia's purevideo, which is a bit of both. I hope someday also Linux support is introduced. So vdr-xine a lot of CPU is needed. With Purevideo support all nice features are available on 20% CPU time on 3GHz HT-processor. Just quick meaningless conversion is 100%/2 CPU (how windows sees, as real HT is ~1.3 CPU's) = 50%=1 CPU on 3GHz => 20% on 50% => 1.2GHz processor roughly is needed. > Also, a big > problem is that HTPC´s cannot change their refreshrate to the > framrate. Which means bad picture quality, unless "burning" > video bandwith by going over 85Hz refresh (or prefferebly > higher), but who wants that? Well I adapt my framerates based on content. Because if I see the effort to view my stuff in HD, I can change X & Windows framerates also with much less effort.. :-) I think automatic refresh-rate adaptation is just video players feature. If modelines are already on X-config file, and tv/projector/monitor has picture optimized for output rate, I cannot see why for example Xine could not automatically change the rate based on input content.

I'm playing around with vdr-xine in df_xine (instead of fbxine or the "X" xine-ui) for some days now, and it's working well, except for my case, a Matrox G400 TV-out, I'm having field parity issues for now. For those who are using the VGA/DVI output of a DirectFB-supported card, it might actually work well Lucian
