[vdr] Is there an easy way to detect H264 in PlayVideo?
Hello, the dxr3 is using the old PlayVideo interface, so it uses pes packets. Since the card can only decode mpeg12, feeding it h264 causes nothing but trouble, so I'd like to detect if the pes packet is an H264 one. So, is there an easy way to detect that a pes packet given by PlayVideo is H264? vdr-xine has an IsFrameH264 function, I tried to use it but it doesn't seem to work in this context.

[vdr] Recommendation for new hd vdr system.
Hello, Now that I have an hd tv set, I'm looking at revamping my ageing vdr system for hd. Oh, and I want it to be really cheap ;-) It seems that the only reasonable option is a motherboard/graphic card supported by nvidia vdpau. I need a parallel port and a pci slot (I want to use my current dvb-s card), so the revo and similar nettops are out. The asus P5N7A-VM motherboard seems a good candidate, is its integrated 9300 graphics powerful enough for good deinterlacing? According to this page http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/VDPAU the only limitation is that it cannot do Advanced 2x for HD content, everything else is covered (I'm currently using temporal on my laptop and, while acceptable, it doesn't seem top-notch). Or should I better buy a cheap motherboard and add an external nvidia graphic card? Any suggestion?

Re: [vdr] HD output - your current favourites
En/na Gavin Hamill ha escrit: My current vdr-1.4.7 (compiled 2 years ago as of tomorrow!) is still serving me well.. I have a Technotrend FF DVB-C doing all the heavy lifting, but as time moves on and HD content becomes more prevalent, I'm thinking of moving up. Right now I have an EPIA 800MHz quiet PC with the Technotrend giving me lovely SCART RGB out... if I got a nice LCD TV, what setup would be ideal for driving the HDMI input? I don't have a nice lcd/plasma tv, so I don't use hdmi. I currently play hd content (from a handful of satellite channels, only one of them, bbchd, carrying real programming) on my laptop (1680x1050 resolution, a tad smaller than the full-hd 1920x1080), which has a nvidia card, using xine-plugin on the vdr pc and xine-vdpau on the laptop. With vdpau almost everything is offloaded to the graphic card, so it needs really little cpu, it's possible it could also work on your epia, provided you can add a pci/agp card with a suitable nvidia chipset and are willing to use their closed driver. I have to say that the result seems pretty good to me. Ati/Amd and intel will probably offer some hd acceleration in the near future, however I don't think they offer anything right now for linux. I found this benchkmark: http://gwenole.beauchesne.info/en/blog/2009/06/22/video_decode_acceleration_benchmarks Most of the content is still SD, and I am a real pedant about smooth video / interlaced output for scrolling text / live sports. Any time that I've played with vdr-xine or xineliboutput over my years with VDR, it's always been a bit juddery due to VGA timing not matching up with the TV.. is that improved any in the world of HD / HDMI? Again, I cannot tell about hdmi (though I think I'd get similar results), but on my laptop screen sd content is upscaled acceptably by xine-vdpau (the scaling and deinterlacing is done in hardware with vdpau). Horizontally scrolling text is not very good IMO. I your tv scaler is better than the nvidia one (though it has to be a high end tv set for that) I suppose that you can feed sd content through hdmi, though everybody is suggesting to scale on the pc and feed the tv with its native resolution.

I thought of that (I'm using both xine and a dxr3), but that's the only channel where I have dvb subtitles out of sync. In fact, with networked xine, teletext subtitles are usually quite bad in recordings (that's the reason at the time I patched the plugin to delay them), while I never had problems with dvb subtitles (except for the above mentioned itv3). I've also noticed that A/V sync problems are much more likely and/or severe with recordings than live TV. Maybe the switch to TS recording will correct that.

Re: [vdr] Delaying subtitles
En/na Josce ha escrit: My problem is that vdr 1.6.0 with the reelbox plugin displays the subtitles 6 seconds too early. Does anyone know if there is a simple way to add a 6 seconds delay to the subtitles? I tried to look at the old subtitle plugin and how it was done there but couldn't see how to apply that to the subtitle handling that vdr does. I suppose you're talking about dvb subtitles. Per chance, are you seeing the problem on ITV3 (Eurobird 1/Astra 2)? Before the subtitles were perfectly in synch, but since a couple of weeks they're several seconds early. Subtitles on bbc4 are still ok, as are teletext subtitles on ITV3 (well, they're early too, but that always happened here with recorded teletext subtitles, that's why I hacked a delay in the ttxtsubtitles plugin). There are also other oddities with subtitles: ITV3 has subtitles (correct before, early now) but ITV3+1 has them completely out of whack (repeating, disappearing, missing some, etc.). Film4 stopped broadcasting subtitles some months ago, while Film4+1 still has them. I'm wondering if all these problems are with the broadcaster or there's some problem in vdr.

[vdr] Graphlcd anyone?
Hello, I just acquired a dirt cheap lcd (see http://picframe.spritesserver.nl) to complement my vdr machine, so I'm using the graphlcd plugin to drive it. Instead of writing a graphlcd driver, I just configured it to use the network driver then I wrote a simple client to drive the display. This is working quite well, but I have some questions about the plugin: 1) the project doesn't seem maintained: I took the svn version and still I had to crudely hack it to work with a recent vdr (my system encoding is utf-8 and the hack was simply to convert the osd messages to iso-8859-1 in the graphlcd plugin) 2) it's only black and white and it doesn't seem easy to adapt it to use colors (besides just using black and white) I also took a look at the graphtft plugin, which manages color but I don't think it's suited to a small display (mine is 128x128), besides I cannot understand its documentation (it's only in german).

They can implement cDevice::PlayTs() if they need to handle the TS

the TS, assembled to complete PES packets and delivered via the existing
PlayVideo() and PlayAudio() functions.
Well, I didn't manage to get anything from the dxr3 plugin (no image and
no sound) while xine (0.8.0) has no audio, it manages to get some video
*but* it's stuttering/slow-motion like and it's spitting various FIXME

e.g., it fails in a condition like this one:

Maybe it's the same problem that causes the dxr3 plugin to fail, I don't
