Hi
I've just upgraded from vdr-xine 0.8.0 to 0.9.3 (well overdue) and I'm having audio problems.
When each of the following lines appeared in std-out, it coincides with skips in audio and gaps in audio sync
buffered 6.3 frames (v:10.9, a:6.3) buffered 7.1 frames (v:13.5, a:7.1) buffered 8.5 frames (v:14.5, a:8.5) buffered 9.1 frames (v:15.1, a:9.1) buffered 10.3 frames (v:16.7, a:10.3) buffered 11.1 frames (v:17.3, a:11.1) buffered 12.2 frames (v:18.8, a:12.2) buffered 13.5 frames (v:19.7, a:13.5) buffered 14.1 frames (v:20.2, a:14.1) buffered 15.4 frames (v:21.0, a:15.4)
I might have to revert back to vdr-xine-0.8.0 again - this was the same problem I had with all versions beyond 0.8.0, and previous attempts to upgrade
Any ideas?

Any suggestions on this??
Please tell vdr-xine settings regarding buffering and try to change the buffer settings in .xine/config to huge values as mentioned in MANUAL.
Bye.
Hi
I've been playing around with these values and have discovered the following (I only have SD channels - none HD) when replaying recordings.
Setting engine.buffers.audio_num_buffers to 2300 (10x default) does help with the skips in audio - where under the default value (230) I intermittantly get 2-3 second jumps in audio.
#engine.buffers.video_num_buffers is left at the default of 500. If I set this any higher, fast forwarding or rewinding causes the video to jump about 90 seconds.
engine.buffers.video_num_frames (default 15) I've had to set to 60. Anything less than this seems to make the video jump 2-3 seconds, in line with the audio_num_buffers described above. With this set to 60, there's no lost audio but video/audio still gets out of sync, and it gets worse and worse for 20 seconds then the audio stops and the video catches up. Also with anything <60, I get PPPPPPPP on the vdr console when replaying recordings.
My question is - this version of vdr-xine, and every version since 0.8.1, gives me these audio and video problems. Under version 0.8.0 I have none of these problems at all. The only reason I'm trying to upgrade is because 0.8.0 is now so old.
Any ideas??

What video card/driver do you use? I know of another guy with similar problems but with my Nvidia 8400GS using vdpau it works fine with just default settings. I've never had to adjust anything.
Cheers

I'm a big fan of vdpau so my answer is automatically to give it a try since you've got nothing to lose.

Hi
After literally a year or more, I've finally found the one thing that was causing my problems with this.
Problem: Any version of vdr-xine above 0.8.0 (and associated xine-lib and xine-ui from Reinhard's website) caused audio and video skips a few minutes into watching a recording. This was indicated by multiple "fixing sound card drift by XXXX pts" messages in the xine console coinciding with the video "catching up"
Fix: (too easy, as these things often turn out to be!!!) modify ~/.xine.config from: audio.synchronization.av_sync_method:0 audio.synchronization.resample_mode:0 to: audio.synchronization.av_sync_method:resample audio.synchronization.resample_mode:on
HOORAY!!! I'm finally able to move off a 2007 plugin!
Next problem - I can't get vdpau to work. But I'll start another thread for that.
Regards Simon
