Hi all,
I'm currently using the xine plugin with network support. Works fine for the most part but I'm getting the occasional drop or freeze on my 1Ghz Pentium notebook with 10meg wireless.
Is there an updated version available yet or is this it?

Does this patch help? It was posted on vdrportal.

I tried this patch but it makes no difference. It takes a long time for xine on my notebook to buffer or sync it seems. Then it will drop frames on occasion. Sometimes its worse then others. My notebook is the only wireless device on the network. The desktop with vdr is directly connected to the wireless router.
Vdr shows me this: vdr-xine: incoming requests on 15 vdr-xine: successful request on 15 (client: 21) vdr-xine: polling for connection on 16... vdr-xine: incoming requests on 16 vdr-xine: successful request on 16 (client: 22) vdr-xine: polling for connection on 17... vdr-xine: incoming requests on 17 vdr-xine: successful request on 17 (client: 26) vdr-xine: polling for connection on 18... vdr-xine: incoming requests on 18 vdr-xine: successful request on 18 (client: 27) Pvdr-xine: Client connected! [vVMaA+19+20+23+26] PPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP
The P's come up when everything is messed up. Sometimes if I change channels then return it fixes itself a bit quicker. Using the same setup but with xine locally on the same machine as vdr, everything works great.

You could do some network tests to ensure that it is the xine plugin which has the problems.
E.g. have a look at "netstat -i" and see if there are errors (RX-ERR, TX-ERR), or try a flood ping, or do a bulk transfer of some large file.
Kind regards, Stefan

Or better, try to reproduce it on a wired network !
