Hi,
Hi !
I've noticed that dxr3 cvs has become more unstable than so time ago (about that time when yellow OSD garbage in e.g. STTNG skin was fixed in dxr3 plugin) so I gave this a try.
I think have seen these lockups when switching to non-active satellite channales or to satellite channels with corrupted data (there are many on Hotbird). Now the watchdog doesn't kill VDR as often and it is possible to manage interactively satellite channel list. This patch is an improvement to current plugin state.
The plugin still cannot manage broken datastreams gracefully. This is surely the case here.
However the problem where OSD graphics start to jump and flicker for a while and VDR gets stuck for quite long time is still present. It happens repeatably also in mp3 plugin or muggle plugin usage where playback of a song gets interrupted every now and then for a couple of seconds which is pretty annoying. Mp3 plugin worked better due to more stable OSD with the earlier dxr3 plugin version I mentioned. Have other dxr3 users seen this?
Sure. But concerning the OSD going beserk, you can try playing around with the value DEFINES+=-DFLUSHRATE=40 in the Makefile. I might help a little. But this is still an open issue.
This is a bit off-topic, not related to this patch: I also tried to activate mp3 background image display but that seems to fail. According to logs my cover.jpg's get converted to mpg format but nothing is shown. Playback doesn't start without pressing jump keys.
AFAIR there's a stillpicture generated, which is not supported and should make the plugin crash.
