The most glaring DXR3 plugin problems I'm aware of are:
- DVB subtitles keep losing sync. Setting a delay of 3 seconds appears to be pretty accurate but it'll drift out in an hour or two. Annoying as hell. Also subtitles in recordings go out of sync when fast forwarding or rewinding. With the automatic timing thing the subtitles will just flash on the screen for about 0.01 seconds and disappear.
There was a site I can't find anymore that had some kind of a timing patch for the plugin (also a patch called "braindeadtv" that made everything come out in 16:9 for those not lucky enough to have an adv7170) and I really didn't see it fixing anything either. Maybe I misunderstood the concept or something.
Doesn't anyone else get this or is it thought of as a minor irritation not worth mentioning?
- The OSD support is not as complete as on a full feature dvb card. There are ~always glitches. Teletext for example shows most pages with parts transparent where they shouldn't be etc. And you can just forget about using plugins like osdpip or osdimage.
