Hi!
This question is directed more to Finnish DBV/VDR gurus...
I have problem with YLE recordings. When watching "live" proadcast, sound is just right but when watch same program as recoded, sound is breaking, picture is fine, but sound have short gaps.. Like when there is not enougth CPU power to decode it. IF I play that file directly with xine sound is fine.. No problem.
During watching, when sound start breaking, if I "jump" few second backward sound is fine for a while, but then start breaking again.
So this problem is only with YLE recordings, other channels are fine always.
I have tried to change almost everyhting at xineliboutput and replay settings, nothing helps. This is not version related (atleast not vdr version).

Do you use identical configurations for xine-ui and xineliboutput? I mean the ones in your ~/.xine directory. What are those like?
Do you use vdr-sxfe, vdr-fbfe or local frontend with xineliboutput? Have you tried other frontends like VLC or mplayer?
Have you tried increasing the output of vdr-sxfe (or your frontend of choice)?
What versions of xine-lib and xineliboutput are you using?
How do you start the frontend, VDR and other players you have tested? Do you for example always use the same audio driver?
Please try to gather all the necessary information... that way it is easier for others to help you.

No local frontend. With VLC and mplayer/kmplayer/gmplayer file itself plays fine.. Mplayer/Vlc as frontend.. Yes sound is fine.
Have you tried increasing the output of vdr-sxfe (or your frontend of choice)?
Mixer settings or frontends volume settings don't make any difference.. EVEN it sounds like (the sound/gaps) it's "overdriving" the sound. Is audio compressed or not, no different.
What versions of xine-lib and xineliboutput are you using?
xine-lib: 1.1.4-r2 (cannot compile 1.1.7, got error) xineliboutput: 1.0.0_rc2
How do you start the frontend, VDR and other players you have tested? Do you for example always use the same audio driver?
Command what I use to start frontend.. There is no different on sound even I use --audio= parameter
/usr/bin/vdr-sxfe --lirc=/dev/lircd --fullscreen --video=xv --syslog --aspect=16:9 --rtp xvdr://localhost

Right now I use version vdr 1.5.2, I have tried 1.5.5 too.. Ofcourse with no different.. Reason to change to lower version was purely to test IF I can compile that newer xine-lib version.. But it don't compile.. Of course, it's not related to that, it's ffmpeg problem.
Here is vdr's startup:

With output I meant verbose debugging information... ;)

Could you try without the "---rtp" option, so that it would use local pipe instead? And perhaps try the other transport options too ("--tcp" and "--udp"). And add "--verbose" to the command to get more detailed information.

;-) Sorry!

Hmm.. With short testing.. That was problem.. Same problem exists with UDP transport. Only "working" selection is TCP..
Strange that UDP at local machine makes gaps to sound too...
Testing continues. But THANK YOU! ;-)
I demand that JJussi may or may not have written...

Use either --disable-dxr3 or --without-external-ffmpeg.
Or patch it :-)
