I'm running patched xine-lib on a Gentoo system, media-libs/xine-lib-1.1.8with the vdr USE flag.
vdr-1.5.8 using vdr-xine-0.7.11 as the software output device. I'm having problems with the editing of recordings when setting a marker, also with fast rewinding and fast forward, pause + forward/rewind.
With fast forward it will jump 15sec forward from the start and when going back to normal play/pause, it will rewind 10 sec, making the forward unpredictable. The same goes for rewind. It is 15sec in reverse ahead also, and jumps a few seconds forward when going back to normal play.
In pause + rewind the following is happening: Example 1: I pause at e.g. 1:35:32, pressing rewind will jump to 1:35:18 and stop at 1:34:50 when I immediately tried to pause again. When I press play, it will jump to 1:35:06. This jumping makes it very uncomfortable to use the functionality.
Only pause + forward works as expected.
Example 2:
I will start playing at 1:35:07, and press forward and later on press the play button again at 1:35:55, but video will move back to 1:35:50
Example 3:
I will start playing at 1:35:55 and it will rewind to 1:35:12, on pressing the play button again it will jump to 1:35:29 (appears to be the same problem as with pause + rewind)
Example 4: The video has come to an end at 2:11:08, but it will play on for a further 5 seconds, when the timer is not counting anymore.
Example 5: I will pause the video at 1:35:55 and press the marker button, the marker says at 1:35:55.2 but when I press play, it will jump to 1:36:00
The same strange behavior happens with the vdr-softdevice-0.4 (the change in time is a bit different but still the same strange behavior) It was more or less working in vdr-1.5.5. I only have a budget card in my machine. Reinhard Nißl from vdr-xine suggested it is a buffer problem between vdr and the software device plug-in.
Your assistance would be appreciated.
