softhddevcie artifact smudge

Hi,

The cutting of recordings seems to work better, and the artifact smudge that comes when viewing over the cut is less, but still there. Jumping into the cutmark, and starting to watch from here gives a flawless image, but watching "over the cut" gives still some artifacts. Is there something I could do to help debugging this?

I use softhddevice with the following tweaks

-a default
-d :0.0
-f
-v vdpau
-g 1920x1080+0+0
-xx
-w use-possible-defect-frames

Heh.. I have been using my vdr so long with barely no updates for over 13 years until last summer when i got myself the GT 1030, and all worked basically straight with my previous settings, so did not check if any swithced had to be updated.

I tested with -v cuvid, and there was no artifact smudge at all, but after second resart of vdr, i just got a black screen with sound. The other options had the same thing. just sound, no picture. Jumping back to vdpau got my picture back, and the artifacts.. Pobably some setting messed up..

What are the differences between cuvid and nvdec? What does the egl do?

I did some more testing

-v vdpau + -w use-possible-defect-frames get's stuck for a bit when playing through the cut + pixelschmudge
-v vdpau without use-possible-defect-frames gives a smooth play, but with pixelsmudge

I can't get the switches to work. A restart of the whole linux server fixes it, but only for the first start. Second restart of vdr, and I'm back again with a blank screen til nex reboot..

Is it btw normal that restarting the VDR process takes up to 1-2 minutes? Killing the process with kill -9, and starting it again takes only 15-20 sec..

How do you mean I should test? Unfortunatley i am a bit lost what would be my options other than softhddevice

Hi,

MLD also supports softhddevice with vdpau and xserver.

Wow, this is something new for me! I have to try this out!

I'm using the Ubuntu Seahawk-packages. I'll try to test the git version tonight.

I'm running buntu noble with https://ppa.launchpadcontent.net/seahawk1986-ho…r-2.8.1/ubuntu/

Ah, i have missed the noble-main part. That did though not give any big changes to what i had til now installed.

I have to have to check out the ansible scripts. I have not realized that this project existed In work i use puppet, but for this kind of configurations, ansible is a great tool!
