Could some pse tell me what kind of patch and v4l drivers i should use to run vdr-1.7.x in HD mode ?
According to LinuxTV Wiki for your card (source: http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/TechnoTrend_TT-connect_S2-3600):
- Multiproto (not advisable, since it's absolete)
- S2API (More precise: http://mercurial.intuxication.org/hg/s2-liplianin)
And for VDR 1.7.x, you have two choices:
- VDR 1.7.0 in combination with my patches from October;
- VDR 1.7.3 which was released this week;
I don't recommend to install vdr 171 172 173 on your system because current version of vdr-xine/xineliboutput/softdevice don't support it yet
If you're running a budget only system (read, no Reel eHD for hardware decoding off H264 or MPEG2) you might want to stick to VDR 1.7.0 because
yes, vdr 170
of some issues with the current plugins like xine and/or xineliboutput (at least, this is what I read on the ml). Beware though, VDR 1.7.0 has some audio issues with certain channels like BBC HD (which should be fixed by the implementation of TS format).
Q to all : The software output plugins had problems with 1.7.1 and 1.7.2 ( and perhaps 1.7.3?).
imho - yes , software output plugins have problems with vdr > 1.7.0
Can anybody confirm that this problem still exists?
yes
Because the reason why I don't upgrade to newer editions, is because newer versions had problems with the vdr-xine and vdr-xineliboutput plugins.
let's waiting for vdr-xine 090 and other update version of xineliboutput/softdevice
