Hi.
I'm having intermittant problems when replaying vdr recordings with xineliboutput. Every few minutes I get an audio/video slip/break and stdout reports:
video_out: throwing away image with pts 124350653 because it's too old (diff : 29229)
Is this a xinelib message? I'm running a xine-lib taken from cvs on the 4th of June 2006

Yes, it is. This normally indicates that your system ist too slow for replaying videos. It can be a misconfiguring of the used software, or too many task running simultaneously or thelike. I'm using vdr-xine for displaying and don't know about xineliboutput, so maybe someone else can give you hints how to optimize it.
Maybe it helps: I noticed a higher cpu-usage when replaying with vdr via vdr-xine as if replaying the files with xine directly. This was improved with newer versions of vdr-xine - now I use a faster CPU, so it doesn't matter anymore.
I hope my answer helps you.

I have no problem replaying with vdr-xine, and am playing with xvmc hardware (VIA Unichrome) acceleration. The PC is a AMD Athlon(tm) XP 2800+ with 1 Gig of memory

When running vdr-xine, my CPU is about 12-16%.
Does this sound right? No probs with vdr-xine, but cpu problems with xineliboutput????

It is xine-lib message, for sure. Basically, with xineliboutput it indicaters your A/V sync is out of order... ? or you are really out of CPU power. In normal situations Y should never see this msg (unless for "frame sync", when switching channels etc. when switching channels etc. What kind of system you are using ? Does this msg appear only when switching channels or starting replay ? If yes, pse, post me (private mail ?) your complete logs + audio and video config with (maybe even complete system cfg).
Yes, it is. This normally indicates that your system ist too slow for replaying videos. It can be a misconfiguring of the used software, or too many task running simultaneously or thelike.
That's right.
Typically running vdr nd vdr-sxfe iun same machine takes up to twice the CPU load compared to separate systems.
PII 400 is just enough to decode + display mpeg2, but if Y have vdr running in same machine you should double each one.

I'm going to try a CVS snapshot of xine-lib 1.1.2 from August 2006, see if that helps...

Incidentally, the messages don't bother me. It's the video/audio slippage every 2-3 minutes that annoyes the wife :)

Something weird's happening. When I run vdr-xine, I get no slippage. When I run xineliboutput I get:
video_out: throwing away image with pts 4299359 because it's too old (diff : 10145). video_out: throwing away image with pts 4302362 because it's too old (diff : 7142). video_out: throwing away image with pts 4305365 because it's too old (diff : 4139). bad_frame bad_frame bad_frame bad_frame bad_frame bad_frame 200 frames delivered, 6 frames skipped, 3 frames discarded bad_frame 200 frames delivered, 1 frames skipped, 0 frames discarded bad_frame 200 frames delivered, 1 frames skipped, 0 frames discarded
...around the time I get the slippage.
I'm starting vdr-xine with "xine --fullscreen --hide-gui -V xxmc -A alsa -D --post vdr_video --post vdr_audio vdr://tmp/vdr-xine/stream#demux:mpeg_pes"
I'm starting xineliboutput with "./vdr -P'xineliboutput --primary --local=sxfe --video=xxmc --remote=none'
The only difference is "-D" interlace. Is there a way I can set this in xineliboutput ??

Well, looks like someone is mixing vdr-xine and vdr-xineliboutput.

No, I'm running vdr-xine OR xineliboutput - just showed the two syntaxs for when I start one or the other.

Hm.
Did the problem appear with xine-lib update ?

yes - it's the same with the August xine-lib snapshot. But, as per my previous post, it's happenning when playback moves from 001.vdr to 002.vdr etc... (100Meg files, slips every 2 mins 10 seconds or so)
I'm just cat-ing all the .vdr files together to test this....
I've been watching a recording, trying all the deinterlacing options (to no effect).
The video and audio is still slipping periodically and spitting out the video_out errors - but there's a definite pattern.
I ran a 'date' every time the slip occurred:
[vdruser@media xineliboutput]$ date Sat Nov 11 22:35:01 PST 2006 [vdruser@media xineliboutput]$ date Sat Nov 11 22:37:15 PST 2006 [vdruser@media xineliboutput]$ date Sat Nov 11 22:39:28 PST 2006 [vdruser@media xineliboutput]$ date Sat Nov 11 22:41:42 PST 2006 [vdruser@media xineliboutput]$ date Sat Nov 11 22:43:56 PST 2006
it's every 2 minutes and 10 seconds - which is probably exactly the amount of recording done for each "001.vdr .. 002.vdr" file - which I have set to 100 Meg.
So - it looks like whenever playback moves to the next *.vdr file - I get a slip.

Yes, it definetely comes from Xine-lib.

Just a quick question: is your display refresh rate very near to 50 Hz?

It's an NTSC TV: (II) VIA(0): TV (NTSC): Using hsync range of 31.40-56.70 kHz (II) VIA(0): TV (NTSC): Using vrefresh value of 59.94 Hz

I've resolved this by using: -P"xineliboutput --primary --local=none --remote=37890"
and xine "xvdr:tcp://127.0.0.1:37890#nocache;demux:mpeg_block" # for tcp
rather than --local=sxfe
seems to have fixed the slips etc....
now to get vdr-sxfe working on the remote machine.......
