Re: [vdr] Impact in cDevice::GetDevice
Hi,
Am 25.08.2010 08:52, schrieb Rainer Blickle:
This impact algorithm has evolved over time and is a very fragile thing.
Looks like only people have very deep insight in this algorithm should
change it.
For alternate channel, wouldn't it be better to try all possible
channels one after the other until one succeeds? I would not expect
GetDevice to return a device for a different channel than requested.
I have two different solutions in mind.
The first one:
Modify the cDevice::GetDevice method. It returns a device able to
provide the same "semantic" channel as requested ("semantic channel" =
channel with the same programme).
Modify the cDevice::SetChannel method. If the requested channel
couldn't be provided by the device, the method will try to provide the
configured alternatives one.
Pros: The user have the epg and the original channel number on the osd
Cons: Modifies the methods in an unexpected way. Plugins and other
parts of the vdr doesn't work anymore.
The second one:
When pressing CH+/- or selecting an channel directly (via 0-9) and the
selected channel is not available, switch the channel explicit to an
alternative one. (explicit = also display the channel number and the
epg of the alternative channel).
Pros: After switching to the new channel, the vdr is in a clean and
consitent state.
Cons: The vdr has switched to complete another channel when using CH+/-.
Checking for timer conflicts won't work correctly in both ways
(without changes), because this algorithm doesn't know about
alternative channels. But it would be much easier to implement this
when using the second approach.
a third one (just comes to my mind, not deeply thought about):
Write a device-plugin which provides a new source. Then you will have your own channels. In each channel entry you can
configure which "real" channels are behind this and the plugin will attach a receiver to the next free "real" device and
passes through the data. That would be a transparent way for recordings, live tv etc. and you don't have to patch vdr
(hopefully). You only have to look where to get the epg but I think there's a "copy epg from one channel to
another"-patch...

Nor can it adapt the framerate dynamically as I did for some handpicked hardware in my sync-fields-project [1]. But even in the case of non synchronized output framerate (VDPAU) it does not necessarily mean that judder will result. Nvidia graphics use excellent deinterlacers. These produce a stream of progressive frames with field frequency (e.g. 50Hz) out of an interlaced source. Single frame doubler/losses at 50Hz are not visible to the human eye. To put that in other words: VDPAU uses some brute force (deinterlacing) to work around their design flaw (missing synchronization). In practice this works very well. Surely it's not an optimal solution: the price for that is excess graphics power requirement if you think in terms of 5W units. But nonetheless the smoothness of picture flow is excellent. If some people report they observe judder though this mostly is a result of a wrong setup (xorg.conf) or use of temporarily broken beta software (xine derivates). With VDPAU design there exists nothing like inherent judder. For the future I wish there once will become available some graphics with native dynamic framerate support. Never seen such thing until today. cheers Thomas [1] http://lowbyte.de/vga-sync-fields/vga-sync-fields/ ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr

I've had the same problem recently but with XBMC.
I've written a little script to transcode all my recording (see joined).
For transcoding I've used vlc, the heart of the script is:
cvlc --play-and-exit --sout="#std{access=file,mux=ts,dst=$ts_file}"
$pes_file
Hope this can help.
