[vdr] ATI + mesa driver + vdr-xine = buffer usage : 100% - X freeze

2007-03-14 Thread Sébastien Serra

Hi,

my system :
- ubuntu edgyup-to-date,
- radeon 9700 using opensource radeon driver
- vdr 1.4.3 (Eclipse pack from vdr.bluox.org) + vdr-xine 0.7.10 +
xine-lib and xine-ui found at http://home.vrweb.de/~rnissl/

When DRI is loaded and 3D acceleration is ON my X server quickly
freezes. My log (using ssh) tells me something like

buffer usage: 0% (tid=19349)
ERROR: 1 ring buffer overflow (177 bytes dropped)
Mar 21 03:30:45 sid vdr: [19350] buffer usage: 70% (tid=19349)
Mar 21 03:31:00 sid vdr: [19350] buffer usage: 80% (tid=19349)
Mar 21 03:31:01 sid vdr: [19350] buffer usage: 90% (tid=19349)
Mar 21 03:31:02 sid vdr: [19350] buffer usage: 100% (tid=19349)

When i disable 3D acceleration (non dri) everything works fine but on
HD channels (Astra, MPEG2) CPU load higher.

Is there a way to prevent this sort of vdr buffer overflow ? I would
like to keep my 3D acceleration enabled

thx

Video does not use 3D acceleration, but it does need dri/drm.  So you
should check that MTRR and DRI/DRM (I don't remember which - direct
rendering anyway) are enabled.  Check /var/log/Xorg.log or equivalent
for any error messages.

yours,

Why are you so concerned with my real name?  Anyone can use any name
they want in their email address therefore being so worried about
someones real name is rather silly.  Do I know Carsten Koch is
your real name?  No.  Do I even care?  No.

I didn't notice my editor was somehow switched to richtext format,
which I have since switched back.  For future reference, if don't like
html email then simply turn it off or filter it in your email client.
Then you don't have to worry about it.

And lastly, those links are not vdr-related news, hence why the poster
clearly put OFFTOPIC in the subject.  So like I said, let's not make
it a habit of using the mailing list to spam non-vdr content...

Thanks.

IMHO this was a valuable piece of information, so I don't mind
that it was posted here.

I, too, appreciate if people use their real name in postings, though ;-)
And posting in HTML is a no-no to me, too.

But let's stop with the flaming here.

Re: [vdr] TV Standards option for vdr-1.5.x

2007-03-14 Thread Stone

You may want to try the attached patch. It determines FramesPerSec by
having a look at the first picture of the recording and falls back to
the FRAMESPERSEC macro otherwise.

The current implementation requires that the recording was taken with
cVideoRepacker enabled. Furthermore it must be MPEG2.

The file marks.vdr still uses FRAMEPERSEC for compatibility. Plugins
like dvd, burn, mp3, mplayer, etc. still use FRAMESPERSEC.

Although this patch is against VDR-1.4.6, it applies with some offset
also against VDR-1.5.1.




Thanks! Im using this patch with vdr-1.5.1 and it has fixed my problems with
the incorrect time of recordings for NTSC.  Before I had hardcoded it to 30,
but this is much more accurate.  Good job.  I think this should be
integrated into vdr along with a switch to set the default tv standard to
25/30.

Best Regards.
