Re: [mythtv-users] Playback vid corruption with 1080i (with pics)

2005-06-30 Thread Glen Dragon
I think that i've further narrowed down the problem. After bringing a 
different box downstairs and trying on the same display, I've learned a 
few things. -- If myth/myplayer outputs a 1080i signal at particular 
resolutions (such as 1680x1050) it will disort the output as described 
below.


-- If other output resolutions are used it works great.  Ie 1400x1050 
works fine.


The best way that I have found to play with this is to leave X at a res 
of 1680x1050, and use the appearance options in myth to try different 
resolutions. I haven't really tried very many, since i discovered this 
late last night.


Now I wondering if the problem is with the wide screen (16:10) nature 
of the 1680x1050 resolution, or if it is just too high or something.


I'd obviously like to run at 1680x1050 since that's the native 
resolution of the LCD, and also i would want it to be wide, since 
widescreen is obviously better.


What can i do?  Does anyone know why I can't use the correct 
resolution?  Is there another resolution that would be close that might 
work?  What can I try?

Doug is right on.  That is classic when resizing non-deinterlaced
content.  You can also see this problem if your filter chain is in the
wrong order, and you resize *before* deinterlacing.  You should always
de-interlace prior to resizing.

Hmm.. I am using kernel deinterlacing.  Or at least thats what I 
specify in the menu.  I don't have any other exotic filters or 
anything.  I am playing at a 1x speed (normally) The display is 
outputing onto a lcd flat panel at 1680x1050, the native resolution 
of the display.  I have Xorg setup to do this resolution.


I don't know how I would re-arrange the filter chain. Is this 
configurable somewhere? I assume that X is doing the scaling from the 
1920x1080 to the 1680x1050. Is this correct?  If myth is doing the 
de-int, it should be taking place before the scaling right?

I'm not intentionally setting the output size different, they are set

Try playing back the .nuv file using mplayer -vf pp=lb (just for a sanity check)

I see the following in the log file:

are you setting the output size differently than you're display
resolution?  If so, then MythTV is probably scaling, and it is
possible that MythTV is indeed scaling prior to deinterlacing (that
would be bad) but a dev would probably be able to comment further.

Try bob or onefield deinterlacing.  Maybe kernel isn't doing a good job
on your material, or has a bug on your system.

Isn't the 1920x1080i signal pushing the limits of what DVI can handle?
I presume you have a single-channel DVI.  It almost looks to me like
the set is on the hairy edge of sync with that signal.  The 720p
signals push slightly less information, which could explain why the ABC
broadcasts work.
I don't suppose the set has a VGA input for comparison?  (Some do, like
my old-tech Pioneer RPTV with quaint "CRT" technology.)


I am using a dual-channel DVI cable from pacific cable. I am only 
running at a resolution of 1680x1050.  It does have a VGA input. I can 
try it out, tho it'd require moving things around.

by the way.. I'm aware that non-deinterlaced is a double negative,
but.. assuming that it would be deinterlaced I stuck with the term..

Doug is right on.  That is classic when resizing non-deinterlaced
content.  You can also see this problem if your filter chain is in the
wrong order, and you resize *before* deinterlacing.  You should always
de-interlace prior to resizing.

Isn't the 1920x1080i signal pushing the limits of what DVI can handle? 
I presume you have a single-channel DVI.  It almost looks to me like
the set is on the hairy edge of sync with that signal.  The 720p
signals push slightly less information, which could explain why the ABC
broadcasts work.

I don't suppose the set has a VGA input for comparison?  (Some do, like
my old-tech Pioneer RPTV with quaint "CRT" technology.)

Deinterlacing is clearly not working in these pictures.  The stripes are
so wide because something (probably your video card) is scaling the
pictures to a resolution less than 1080 lines high.  Double-check you
have deinterlacing enabled, and check the output from 'mythfrontend
--verbose playback'.  Also note that bob deinterlacing is disabled if
you're playing at a speed other than 1x.

[mythtv-users] Playback vid corruption with 1080i (with pics)

2005-06-23 Thread Glen Dragon
I'm still seeing the problem that I reported a week or so ago.  I took 
some pictures to show the effect. Hopefully someone knows something. 
Interestingly enough it is also causing the same effect on the OSD.

Pics: http://www.jetcom.org/gallery/dragon-myth
(There is some bluring due to difficulties in taking the picture, as I 
didn't have the tripod around. It really does look like that tho)


I've tried different nvidia drivers (7664, 7167, 6629) no difference. 
I'm not sure what else to try.


-original post---

I see wierd horizontal striping every 1/2 an inch or so.  There is a 
jagged green area on the left (and covering parts of the picture). It 
sort of makes the picture shimmer. It's semi-watchable if you can 
ignore the effect (aka it doens't obstruct the picture).


This only appears on my NBC broadcasts (and PBS too i think). I think 
this means it's on 1080i broadcasts.  Fox & ABC are crystal clear. I 
don't get CBS right now. I believe that it also appears on upconvered 
material, ie the news was the same way last night.  I only see it on 
one of my frontend which happens to have an amd64 using 64bit gentoo.  
So I'm assuming that it has something to do with that. I'm also 
assuming that it's related to the fact that he signal is interlaced. 
The recording itself is fine, ie I can play it upstairs on a different 
frontend.


The machine is an AMD64 3500+, nvidia fx5300 connected DVI to a 2005FPW 
flat panel.  I have also had this problem connected to a 50+ rp-lcd tv. 
I have tried various combinations of opengl vsync and various deints 
(kernel/bob). Not using xvmc (never got it to work on this machine), 
processor utilization is ~50-60%


This *has* worked beautifully before. I don't know why/how it has 
changed.  At one point I believed that it was mmx related, but now it 
seems to be independent. I have tried actively disabling mmx in the 
config. The only thing this now accomplishes is to increase my cpu util 
> 90-100%. I've seen this effect using various cvs builds on this 
machine since before 0.18
