Hi list,
I am experiencing 2 little problems with the pvr350 (0.0.4pre1) plugin. When I switch to a channel with 2 audio pids only the first one is working. Soon as I switch to another pid the sound disappear and only comme back when I switch back to the first pid. I think that is an issue with the plugin because I have tried softdevice before and the audio pid switching was working as expected.
So I gave a look through the code and I noticed that the function 'virtual void SetAudioTrack(eTrackType Type, const tTrackId *TrackId)' is not implemented. Can this be related ? As far as I understand this is not needed because the plugin is implemented as a device and not as a player, but I have to admit that I am a little confuse about vdr internal.
I think that my second problem is not vdr related but I am always asking in case somebody have seen this before. The quality of the sound when watching channels that provides 128 kbits audio stream is really poor. It sounds like there is too much treble or that the volume is too high for the amplifier. The strange thing is that it only happen with 128 kbps channels, not with 64 or 192 kbps audio streams... My guess is that the ivtv driver is responsible of this behaviour but I have seen no mention of this problem on the ivtv's mailing list.
Besides this 2 annoyances, this plugin is really great. The quality of the tv-out is far superior from my nvidia-based graphic card, and the decoding is really smooth compared with my softdevice setup.
I have been investigating for a few weeks without any progress, so any hint is welcome.
Kind regards,
Erwan Dewel
