Hello,
I'm having intermittant problems when replaying vdr recordings with xineliboutput. Every few minutes I get an audio/video slip/break and stdout reports:
video_out: throwing away image with pts 124350653 because it's too old (diff
: 29229)
Is this a xinelib message? I'm running a xine-lib taken from cvs on the 4th of June 2006
Yes, it is. This normally indicates that your system ist too slow for replaying videos. It can be a misconfiguring of the used software, or too many task running simultaneously or thelike. I'm using vdr-xine for displaying and don't know about xineliboutput, so maybe someone else can give you hints how to optimize it.
I have no problem replaying with vdr-xine, and am playing with xvmc hardware (VIA Unichrome) acceleration. The PC is a AMD Athlon(tm) XP 2800+ with 1 Gig of memory
Maybe it helps: I noticed a higher cpu-usage when replaying with vdr via vdr-xine as if replaying the files with xine directly. This was improved with newer versions of vdr-xine - now I use a faster CPU, so it doesn't matter anymore.
When running vdr-xine, my CPU is about 12-16%.
Does this sound right? No probs with vdr-xine, but cpu problems with xineliboutput????
