Re: [vdr] No audio with recordings, XBMC frontend, LATM AAC

2009-08-13 Thread Alex Fazzari
Thanks Christian.  Based on your info I've found the following 2 threads:

http://forum.handbrake.fr/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=5715 - describes which
PID is used for NZ AAC TV

and

http://www.mail-archive.com/vdr@linuxtv.org/msg10575.html - describes
where in the code the PID id needs to go.

Fingers crossed a modification to pat.c to include looking for PID
0x12c may do the trick ...

That seems to be the right approach, however I doubt that 0x12c is the 
right pid.
Maybe you should get a copy of the TS from streamdev (just use wget on 
the streamdev url) and then analyze what you can identify there. I think 
it should be 0x11 for MPEG4-Audio...


You could also have a look at streamdev's pid filtering since obviously 
this is already working as expected.



Best regards,

I just did this for you and it seems 0x11 would indeed match what you're 
looking for, looking at streamdev/server/livestreamer.c:


case 0x11: // ISO/IEC 14496-3 Audio with LATM transport syntax

Awesome, thanks guys.  :)

I'll give this a shot over the weekend and let you know how I get on.

Really appreciate your help on this.

[vdr] HD output - your current favourites

2009-08-13 Thread Gavin Hamill
My current vdr-1.4.7 (compiled 2 years ago as of tomorrow!) is still
serving me well.. I have a Technotrend FF DVB-C doing all the heavy
lifting, but as time moves on and HD content becomes more prevalent, I'm
thinking of moving up.

Right now I have an EPIA 800MHz quiet PC with the Technotrend giving me
lovely SCART RGB out... if I got a nice LCD TV, what setup would be
ideal for driving the HDMI input?

Most of the content is still SD, and I am a real pedant about smooth
video / interlaced output for scrolling text / live sports. Any time
that I've played with vdr-xine or xineliboutput over my years with VDR,
it's always been a bit juddery due to VGA timing not matching up with
the TV.. is that improved any in the world of HD / HDMI?

Just interested in hearing your thoughts, since I'm sure there are a
dozen different ways to approach this!

I can't possibly afford a reelbox at £1100, so if I'm going to do it,
I'll have to roll my own :)

Cheers,
Gavin
