You still need to scale anamorphic 720x576 horizontally to 1024x576,
and deinterlace before that. It would be best to use the native
resolution of the panel so that the video is scaled only once. However,
some panels don't let you use a 50 Hz display mode at native
resolution, but only at 720p or through a specific input port
(VGA, DVI or HDMI). Make sure you use a 50 Hz or 100 Hz refresh rate for
PAL. This is more important than using the native resolution, especially
when watching sports and other interlaced broadcasts (when deinterlaced
at full rate).

The motion artifacts that you are seeing are probably due to
interlacing (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interlace), either because
you don't deinterlace at all, or because you use a poor deinterlacing
filter. Xine does have some moderate filters ported from tvtime (or
originally from DScaler). I'd recommend trying Greedy2Frame, with these
parameters:

xine --post
tvtime:enable=1,method=Greedy2Frame,framerate_mode=full,cheap_mode=0

[vdr] compile error vdr-xine 0.8.2

2008-03-18 Thread serge pecher
Hello,

 

I am trying to compile vdr 0.8.2

I did download with hg libxine 1.2. and installed it with ./autogen.sh and
make, make install.

I did the same (cvs) with xine-ui

When I make plugins, I have this error :

 

make[1]: entrant dans le répertoire «

xineCommon.h:20:2: erreur: #error xine/vdr.h does not match. Please solve
this issue by reading section XINE VDR VERSION MISMATCH in INSTALL!

make[1]: *** [xine.o] Erreur 1

 

When I look at VDR VERSION MISMATCH in INSTALL, I have the right answer with
pkg-config –cflags libxine (/usr/local/include)

In /usr/local/include I have the file xine.h and a directory xine. In xine I
have vdr.h

When I type pkg-config –modversion libxine I get 1.1.90 (is that correct for
1.2 ?)

 

I use kubuntu 7.10

 

Any Idea ?

 

Thanks,

[vdr] Which is the best firmware for ADV7170

2008-03-18 Thread Kartsa
I have DXR3 card with ADV7170. I have quite bad audio sync problems with 
it and was wondering if there is some fw which is better over others. 
The problem is that I must every once and a while pause replay for a 
second or so or when watching live TV change the channel back and 
forthto get the sync back. I.e. I have a timer that causes vdr to start 
every morning to record the morning show which I start to playback as 
soon as I get up. During the next hour or so I must use pause at least 
five time or more. This happens every morning.

I have:
vdr (1.4.6-1/1.4.5) - The Video Disk Recorder
dxr3 (0.2.7) - Hardware MPEG decoder

and in case it matters
burn (0.1.0-pre21) - Versatile convert-and-burn plugin
dvd (0.3.6-b03) - turn VDR into an (almost) full featured DVD player
wapd (0.8) - Remote control by WAP
ttxtsubs (0.0.5-RRE) - Teletext subtitles
text2skin (1.1-cvs) - Loader for text-based skins
subtitles (0.5.0) - DVB subtitles decoder
epgsearch (0.9.22) - search the EPG for repeats and more
osdteletext (0.5.1) - Displays teletext on the OSD
mp3 (0.10.0) - A versatile audio player
mplayer (0.10.0) - Media replay via MPlayer
quickepgsearch (0.0.1) - Quick search for broadcasts
femon (1.1.3) - DVB Signal Information Monitor (OSD)
vompserver (0.2.6) - VDR on MVP plugin by Chris Tallon
epgsearchonly (0.0.1) - Direct access to epgsearch's search menu
conflictcheckonly (0.0.1) - Direct access to epgsearch's conflict check menu


thanks in advance

Hard to say, I think I tried the only 2 fw revisions I know of and I 
don't remember any difference.
I'm currently using version 0x29 (at least that's what I see in 
/var/log/messages, see below) and I don't have any apparent audio sync 
problem.


kernel: adv717x.o: Configuring for PAL
kernel: em8300_audio.o: Analog audio enabled
kernel: em8300: Microcode version 0x29 loaded
kernel: adv717x.o: Configuring for PAL
kernel: em8300_audio.o: Analog audio enabled

Bye

Me too.

It's been some time, but IIRC I've tried all that I could find, and the 0x29 
one that comes with the drivers has worked best for me.

Same here, but not often enough for it to really annoy that much.  I think it 
happens mostly for MTV3 here.

I've tried a couple also and the funny thing is that they all reported 
0x29 in log even though diff said they are different.

I have been wondering if the reason could be MTV3 but I thought it could 
not depend on it. I must try to use some YLE channel for my morning 
recordings.

Well, I'd put the header problem somewhere between "didn't even think
of it" and "can't do it with my emailer" (at least after a quick
check and a couple of attempts), sorry...

Yes, could be an X (openchrome) problem, could be xxmc or the HW
decoding, I'm a bit at loss with it at the moment. With Xv the quality
is just fine (but CPU at around 60-70%, a bit too touchy for other
activity). The xxmc is somewhat blurry and jumping a bit with the
tickers, with CPU at 30%. Any similar experience/solutions anyone? The
hardware is CN700 (EPIA EN-12000).

Well, maybe I should actually start another thread on this (with
proper headers on the replys :-) ), or maybe at openchrome or xine...

I was (not really that optimistically) thinking that maybe the <<1.1.3 
meant something horrible happens at higher versions... but I wasn't
really expecting a positive answer on that. And it does seem that not
much has happened with xine xxmc recently.

Ok, thanks for the info, maybe I'll try a newer version at some
stage...
