I had lots of problems specifically with BBC freeview HD using vdr-xine-plugin. I use debian wheezy with the e-tobi source. I had a feeling it had something to do with the deinterlacing plugin but i could never get it to work however i have recently changed the deinterlacing plugin to bob in the ~/.xine/config-xineliboutput (or something like that) and every thing has worked perfectly ever since.

Well... reporting on http://bugs.xine-project.org/ when it fails will help a lot with fixing these things. You'll need to be able to show how to cause it and/or provide a backtrace (and, 99.999% of the time, you will need a debuggable build for that; also best to be using xine-lib-1.2 hg).

Just for the record when I said Lots of problems:- It can be problematic (for non experts) to setup vdr and all the relevant plugins, gui addons etc. I was informed on this mailing list that other people were viewing bbc HD with no problems so I thought i had not configured everything correctly. And this seems to be the case, as I indicated, once I set interlacing to bob all worked correctly.

Actually now i think about it it was i am using xineliboutput-sxfe which i think might be different to the vdr-xine-plugin.

That is why i didnt report a bug.

Dan

because quite frankly i am not exactly sure what I am doing except trying to watch and record tv.

I've recently fixed one deinterlacing-related segfault which would occur at the end of an HD recording...
