Hell alltogether,
I'm trying to get vdr 1.3.31 on debian sarge (mixed setup with some testing debs) at work. Video is running fine, but audio is still a problem.
I use a Nova-T (DVB-T) budget card with a dxr3 mpeg encoder card.
Maybe the reason for my sound problems could be with ffmpeg, cause some google findings sound like, but I'm not really sure.
Starting /etc/init.d/vdr, syslog tells me:
... Oct 22 15:27:48 linux kernel: em8300_audio.o: Analog audio enabled Oct 22 15:27:48 linux kernel: em8300: Microcode version 0x29 loaded Oct 22 15:27:48 linux vdr[6915]: dxr3: configure: video mode: PAL Oct 22 15:27:48 linux kernel: adv717x.o: Configuring for PAL Oct 22 15:27:48 linux vdr[6915]: dxr3: intf: brightness=500,contrast=500,saturation=500 at init Oct 22 15:27:48 linux vdr[6915]: dxr3: ffmpeg: codec 0x15000 not found - not supported by FFmpeg? Oct 22 15:27:48 linux vdr[6945]: DXR3 audio output thread started (pid=6945, tid=49156) Oct 22 15:27:48 linux vdr[6915]: dxr3: ffmpeg: codec 0x15000 not found - not supported by FFmpeg?
I didn't find this dxr3: ffmpeg error via google, thus I only guess that this could have to do with my audio problems.
I have installed ii ffmpeg 20051016-0.1 which looks quite new for me.
The dxr3-plugins' Makefile expects ffmpeg files here: -rw-r--r-- 1 root staff 73042 Oct 16 13:51 /usr/local/include/ffmpeg/avcodec.h
so for me they seem to match.
I have no idea what to do to get audio working, any suggestions?
Furthermore I tried things like bitstreamout, which I couldn't get working too.
Another possibility might be to get rid of the dxr3, put the video over my Geforce 6600 (it has an built in mpeg decoder, but I don't know if one could get this working with vdr - maybe with the softmpeg-plugin?) and redirect the sound via my onboard-sound-system (but how could that be achieved?)?
BTW, DVB-T itself is working fine with kde's kaffeine, with video _and_ audio - there's just some delay of a second or so between the video and the audio which I can't get rid of. I use the xine-dxr3-plugin with that, it's working fine.
If I only could get this setup for vdr!
Any help is very appreciated, TIA and kind regards, Andre
