[vdr] xineliboutput - audiotracck switching problems

2009-12-14 Thread Marco Skambraks

hi,

I'm using the latest xineliboutput with vdr-1.7.10

if I switch the audiotrack of a channel very rapidly
xineliboutput produces dropouts and starts stuttering
and after 5-10 sec. (still switching)  the vdr -> vdr-sxfe connection 
will crash
vdr-sxfe is abel to reconnect after 2s but audio and video is still 
unstable - if I wait for 10-20s audio/video is OK


I tried udp and tcp (localhost) connection - same results

any ideas?

thanks

marco

Hi,
I can confirm this behaviour.
Switching audio produces dropouts and some other problems.
I am using xineliboutput from cvs and stable xinelib!
vdr-sxfe --video=xv --audio=pulseaudio -R xvdr+udp://127.0.0.1

Any ideas?
with regards
Halim

Re: [vdr] US OTA ATSC - Does it work?

2009-12-14 Thread Calypso Cricket
I am able to tune channels using 'scan' and 'w_scan' tools. The built-in
ATSC EPG channel scanner (which I believe has a static list of
frequencies in the '.h' file) fails to find any channels.

To get a channel scan for atsc, best thing is to go into the plugins 
setup for the atsc plugin. use the scan there. Then go to the plugin 
config folder for atsc plugin and copy the data to your chanels.conf. 
Don't forget to shut down vdr while editing the conf

Re: [vdr] US OTA ATSC - Does it work?

2009-12-14 Thread Timothy D. Lenz
I don't have a problem with getting the channels as long as I use the 
built in scanner for the plugin, then move the data over to the 
channels.conf. What I have a problem with is I have a dual tuner and vdr 
keeps loosing control of one of the tuners. If it happens to be on the 
secondary when it looses, then it's the first tuner that goes.I don't 
need to restart drivers, only vdr/xine to restore it. I have also 
noticed that disabling the atsc epg plugin seems to stop the problem but 
the author only has one tuner, so no way to confirm/check the problem. 
If I ever get time to upgrade my other vdr box, it will have both the 
same dual tuner and a single atsc tuner and a sat tuner. I'll then be 
able to see if the tuner loss is just that card.


Be sure to use the latest atsc plugin

I know a few people who have been struggling with VDR+ATSC for quite a
while.  I've wanted to give it a go myself but not if it's a constant
fight/hassle to have it running.  Hopefully ATSC support will become a
part of vanilla VDR at some point but I honestly don't think that's
very high on the priority list.  Doesn't hurt to ask however!

yes, I did that and all the scans are failing from within the plugin
therefore it does not produce a file for me to copy the lines into the
channels.conf file of VDR.

Yes, unfortunately I have 2 ATSC PCI cards and will be adding a
HDHomeRun dual tuner, so I will have 4 ATSC tuners. If if does not work
with more than one, then this will be a problem.
