Hi,

I'm using Openelec with TVHeadend, but get a few problems with the sound (see here http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=146221).
I would like to install vdr to determine if the audio issue that i get comes from tvheadend.

Could you point me which vdr version is the best/stable with the current Openelec 3.0 beta 2.

Thanks,

VDR has been rock solid for years, regardless of version. Since I develop the vnsi plugin for VDR, I use a developer version: 1.7.31.
There are some distros which provide the vdr-plugin-vnsiserver:
- for Ubuntu you can install vdr from the Ubuntu ppa and the plugin from wsnipex xvba-testing ppa.
- OE has included the vnsiserver plugin in their disto of VDR

>> VDR has been rock solid for years
Yes, I use it since 2009

OpenElec is the Client. Have a look first at the Server

If German is no Problem
=> http://www.vdr-portal.de
and
=> http://www.yavdr.org one of some distros which works mostly out of the Box ( in English too)

Dosent openelec have a VDR-Addon ? (apologies if I have misunderstodd, but it read to me like the other addons that install all you need)

Excuse me my tv card is not on my openelec computer, so i cant use openelec addon.
I'm compiling vdr and vnsi plugin from archvdr.

It should not make much difference from where you get the vdr sources but I recommend that you use the vdr-plugin-vnsiserver sources from opdenkamp repo: https://github.com/opdenkamp/xbmc-pvr-ad...vnsiserver

Installed and no sound with HD channel (same as here http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid...pid1254961).
Will try to install from opdenkamp

FernetMenta · 2012-12-03, 22:31

This version is for XBMC 11.0: https://github.com/opdenkamp/xbmc/tree/E...vnsiserver

This https://github.com/opdenkamp/xbmc-pvr-ad...vnsiserver is for XBMC 12.0, current beta

After PVR has been merged to mainline opdenkamp xbmc-pvr-addons holds compatible version.

Ok,i get a few issues with openelec beta 2 FRODO, last xbmc-vnsi, vdr-plugin-vnsi from https://github.com/opdenkamp/xbmc-pvr-ad...vnsiserver :

- no audio on hd channels (TF1HD)
- random crash of vdr, i get that in dmesg : cLiveStreamer s[657]: segfault at dd2f75c6 ip b70869f2 sp b277f260 error 5 in libvdr-vnsiserver.so.1.7.31[b7071000+2d000]
The log on the client side : http://xbmclogs.com/show.php?id=17510
vdr.log : http://xbmclogs.com/show.php?id=17516

Does TF1HD use Dolby Digital Plus (EAC-3)? This is only half implemented. If I find a FTA channel on Astra, I'll finish this work.

bibi · 2012-12-04, 10:19

yes it uses e-ac3!
i change to xvdr which works fine on this channel
post on this thread if/when you had time to implement support so i could test. anyway keep the good work
NOow i wonder if the problem is the same with tvheaded will investigate :-)

I just notice something strange. When i use e-ac3 channel with HDMI audio output (with all passthrough option enabled), the video stutters a lot and i get no sound. All come back with analog/numerique audio output.
Audio output device and audio pasthrough device are set to nvidia hdmi : maybe an issue between e-ac3 and audioengine with passtrough ?

Without passtrough ac3 and with hdmi audio output it works.

You may have hit this problem: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=153115
For some reason your GT520 reports only 2 channels. Can you post your xorg.log

Here the log :

Sorry, I wanted to say syslog. This is a snippet of mine (gt520m):

You see that high bit rate is supported. Corresponding xbmc.log:
