Hello,
I am using vdr 1.6 on a production machine with a FF card with a lot of satisfaction. I am already trying for several months (years ?) to get an another system working with 2 budget HD cards, and 2 clients. The first client is on the same machine (P4, 3.2 Ghz), the 2nd is a HP thinclient. On both i run vdpau. I am living in belgium, using TVvlaanderen (SD channels) and Telesat (SD and HD channels, some SD channels in mpeg-4) In the past I tried my own compilation, but without getting good results. The last i tried was a fresh install of Karmic with the PPA of vdr team and the XBMC experimental PPA. The results are still not satisfactory (not usable without frequent restart). I was wondering of it was related to my system, or to the developpment level of the softwares. The main issues I have :
1) vdr-plugin-xine : when viewing with xine, on some channels sound disappears after some time. 2) vdr-plugin-xineliboutput : Can't start it ->segmentation fault 3) XBMC : from the moment I can get a channel, it goes perfect. It often freeze when zapping (have to kill xbmc). No sound on HD channels.
Do you also encounter (ed) those problems, are there solutions yet ? Do you have some hints to resolve this issues.
many thanks,
sp
