I change in SetPlayMode:

  if (m_settings.LiveTV())
  {

    ::fprintf(stderr, "LiveTV\n");

    softStartTrigger = sstNormal;
  }
  else
  {
    np = true;

    ::fprintf(stderr, "No LiveTV\n");

  }

and my output is:

............ SetAudioChannelDevice: 0 SetVolumeDevice: 0 status: volume=0 mute=1 frame: (0, 0)-(-1, -1), zoom: (1,00, 1,00) SetAudioChannelDevice: 0 SetPlayMode: 1 No LiveTV SetDigitalAudioDevice: 0 SetAudioChannelDevice: 0 vdr-xine: Client connected! read(4) returned 0, error 0: Conseguido vdr-xine: Client disconnected!

I increase the buffer size to the maximun and don't help.

Thanks, that's valuable output!

Do you use a FF card?

I have only budget cards and don't see this issue.

I don't have a FF card. Only DVB-T budget cards.

Which VDR version are you using?

I'm using 1.3.44.

I am using vdr 1.3.45, vdr-xine 0.7.8 and LiveBuffer 0.1.7 but I have the same problem with vdr 1.3.44. I also try vdr-xine with and without network. I find a solution putting in xineDevice.c cXineDevice::OnClientConnect

cLiveRecorderControl::GetLiveRecorder()->Resume();

So, this is a matter of LiveBuffer patch. But I don't understand why it was working when switching channels.

It only work for me switching channels with setup option Frameswait(LiveBuffer )= 8

From the README.LiveBuffer Frameswait: The number of frames, which have to be received, until the replay of the livebuffer starts Jose Alberto

Anyway, to fix it properly, the following line in cXineDevice::SetPlayMode() most be adapted to LiveBuffer:

   m_settings.SelectReplayPrebufferMode(!Transferring());

For vanilla VDR, Transferring() reports the existence of a transfer thread which means, VDR sends Live TV to vdr-xine.

So, how could I detect Live TV in the case of a VDR with LiveBuffer patch?

Is there a way to automatically detect that the LiveBuffer patch was applied to VDR?

Bye.
