Hello all :-)
I haven't find MP3-plugins mailing list so i need to ask questions here.
That system plays music and net radios fine but problem is in osd and response times whit remote control. When i start to play some mp3 file sound start to coming almost instantly. But when i want to see artist and filename i press 1 from remote and after 5-30 (variable) i see that information on OSD. Second OSD refresh happening after about 30s. After that OSD disappears and i hear some cap (below 0.5s) in music.
It's probably a same problem but still. In MP3 playback mode any remote keys processing takes 5-30sec.
I add DBG=1 variable to MP3 plugins makefile but it's not tell anything new. Ouh yeah. And beginning (music on but nothing on OSD) when i press that 1 key i got message (below 1 sec lag) to syslog: Sep 7 23:35:13 localhost vdr[21270]: dxr3: cSPUEncoder::Flush: OSD data size: 4676
Aim not a capable to coding but i can to debug it if someone say what to do :-)

I've heard similar reports earlier from other dxr3 users, but cannot reproduce it myself. Hm, well, other than that the mp3 plugin is IIRC not NPTL ready, so you may want to disable NPTL before running vdr if you have it on and can do it. (eg. LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.1)
OTOH there's something in the way the mp3 plugin uses OSD that makes it cause the "berserk/flickering rectangles" effect with the dxr3 plugin much more frequently than any other plugin out there, even if the mp3 plugin's OSD looks relatively simple and shouldn't as such need to be pushing the limits of the dxr3 OSD.

That's normal debug info from the dxr3 plugin, and probably unrelated.
BTW, now that the muggle plugin (0.1.8) has SQLite support, setting it up is much easier than before (and compared to the mp3 plugin, it also supports flac). It has its own glitches, but so far has worked better for me than the mp3 plugin in a dxr3 setup.

Probably because there is no image, or probably it just updates the OSD often (once a second is enough to trigger problems, like, e.g., the clock plugin). The dxr3 OSD is pretty unstable :-(

Working exactly same whit LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.1 and whiteout it.

I checked it and i dont see any song names (all names from mp3 files) in osd. i can jump up and down but i haven't got any music out whit it. Anyway it's seems like muggle cannot handle net radios so i dont have use to it :-/ (Normally i listening only net radios not mp3 files from disk)

Any suggestions on how that could be changed?
