Is anyone using the MP3 plugin while running VDR with NPTL?

I tried mp3, and muggle as well which I think is very nice.

It kind of "works", as in "starts playing", but there's a huge delay before any remote controller key presses affect anything. No such problems when running with LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.1 here.

But I got the same effect as you with both music players so I'm sticking with LD_ASSUME_KERNEL trick so far. Without the plugins I feel that the overall behavior such as responsiveness and channel switch times (and OSD stability that is sometimes poor with dxr3) were better with NPTL (2.6.12 kernel).

Cheers, Seppo

I wish I could assist you with debugging, but I'm not running any NTPL system. This may change in a few months.

If someone else has a clue why this is happening, ideas would be welcome. I might find time to hack the plugin sometime soonish.

Hi,

Stefan, IIRC one of the lock types you use in the playback code is not used in VDR itself. Maybe there is an error regarding NPT compatibility here which does not appear in VDR itself. Maybe I can find some time to track this down further.

AFAIK (and I should know it ;) I only use cMutexLock and cCondVar. Nothing special beside this.

Regards.
