[yaVDR 0.5] stuttering playback with softhddevice (sample included)

Here is the bug report: http://projects.vdr-developer.org/issues/1089 .

I'm still searching where the problem is.

First result: software decoder has no problems.

The problem is inside libav 0.8.3, ffmpeg 0.10.5 or ffmpeg 1.0.
I have no work around found.

You can use the SoftHdDevice with the parameter "-wno-mpeg-hw-decoder",
than the software decoder is used for mpeg.
It needs more CPU power for mpeg streams, but plays ABC News.

The git contains the bug fix. You need to wait until yaVDR updates its package.

This stream has still problems, moving the cut marks, using the software decoder fixes this.

Hi,

I will update the package tonight in the testing-vdr-PPA.

Hi,

Launchpad is a bit slow at the moment, but when there's a green checkmark at the package you can download and install it:
https://launchpad.net/~yavdr/+archive/testing-vdr/+packages?field.name_filter=softhddevice&field.status_filter=published&field.series_filter=precise
It's in the testing-PPA, so it won't come via "update & dist-upgrade".
If it works for you, I'll push it into the stable-PPA.

Lars.

Nice to hear, than I will push it to stable.

Thanks,
Lars.

Yes the update has solved the ABC news 24 replay issue here as well.

Thanks
