Me again, I didnt want to post in the same thread as before as this is (I believe a separate issues) and anyone searching may not find it if I dump it in a thread about installing the plugin.

Ok I have VDR 1.2.72

Code:
$ vdr --version

Nov 23 08:18:45.972 [general.debug] using new 1.7.11+ capture code

vdr (1.7.27/1.7.27) - The Video Disk Recorder

vdr-plugin-vnsiserver built from here

Code:
https://github.com/FernetMenta/xbmc-pvr-addons.git

and the plugin from here

Code:
http://www.dotnetdevelopers.net/XBMC/pvrbuilds/20121110/Linux64/pvr.vdr.vnsi-linux-x86_64.zip

XBMC built from git yesterday.

Code:
(12.0-BETA1 Git:20121121-61f39b0), Platform: Linux (Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS, 3.2.0-33-generic x86_64). Built on Nov 22 201

and I am getting appalling frame drops on LiveTV. vdr with xine, softhd or sxfe all play HD channels without missing a beat so I dont think its the machine.

But to be sure.

Code:
$ cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep "model name"

model name      : AMD Phenom(tm) II X4 840 Processor

model name      : AMD Phenom(tm) II X4 840 Processor

You should build XBMC from my repo: https://github.com/FernetMenta/xbmc
I contains many improvements for playback which are not in mainline yet.

Saner · 2012-11-23, 11:32

Will give it a go and see.

Thank you.

FernetMenta · 2012-11-23, 11:40

Let me know the results. I use a gt520m and have zero drops on 1080i50 with best de-interlacing (temporal spatial). With gt210 you might need to set de-interlacing to temporal for 1080i channels.

Saner · 2012-11-23, 12:02

Your build wont even start Sad

Code:
CXRandR::Query - unable to open xrandr xml

Are you sure it built correctly? What happens when you run xbmc-xrandr? Does it produce any output?

urgh, this is because its on a yaVDR backbone isnt it ?

I want in the end to switch to XBMC (with a VDR backend) now the PVR stuff is mainline, but last time I used it I found the PVR side too unstable, so I am a little apprehensive of losing the VDR frontend and setup I already have :/ Confused

Quote:urgh, this is because its on a yaVDR backbone isnt it ?

I don't think so. You need full path, e.g. /usr/lib/xbmc/xbmc-xrandr

You also can just install xbmc + pvr clients from wsnipex xvba-testing repo.

FernetMenta · 2012-11-23, 12:39

It might be a good idea to uninstall and purge any previous XBMC binaries. Maybe you have xbmc-xrandr multiple times on your system.

Please check if you have set those environment variable somewhere from your previous installations:
XBMC_BIN_HOME
XBMC_HOME

Let them point to the correct folder or remove.

Saner · 2012-11-23, 14:07

Is there an easy way to check that ?

Its not something I am familiar with

FernetMenta · 2012-11-23, 14:29

I have put in some debug code and pushed to branch saner. Do
git fetch <my repo>
git reset --hard <my repo>/saner

The last commit should be "debug"

compile, run, and post log

FernetMenta · 2012-11-23, 15:07

I pushed again, did not compile. Sorry.
