  • Sind Umschaltzeiten unter einer Sekunde OK? VNSI-Server für XBMC ist da!

    Hello

    I'd like to report a bug in VNSI server, dunno if it's the right place for it.

    When I zap to some channel, i don't have sound. If I open the audio menu on this channel i can see around 10 audio tracks, instead of 2 or 4, depending if channel have ac3 or not.

    As example, Canal+ from cable:

    The stream has 4 audio tracks, 2 ac3 and 2 mp2 ( one each for fr and en ).
    In xbmc menu, i can see 11 tracks. 2 first ones are fake chans, then track 3,4,5,6 have the sound, then 7,8,9,10,11 are fake.

    Those fakes trakcs are not supposed to exist. I don't have this problem with Streamdev, or tvheadend ( and not on vdr side of course ) .

    When tuning from xbmc-pvr to those channel it gives me this on the log:

    That's a really annoying bug as default audio track always a fake one.
    I thought first the bug came from a bad ttxtsub patch, then i tryed a vanilla vdr with only vnsi running, but it gives me the same problem.

    Other problem , related i think, I don't see any teletext subtitles in the xbmc sub menu. I could see them with streamdev if i remember well.


    Tested with vdr-1.7.15 and vdr-1.7.16

    Is it an identified problem and does somebody has it too ?

    Thanks.

    Thanks I will give a look on this, this looks interesting if it's multiplatform.
    But adaptive streaming needs to simultaneous encode video in all 3 bitrates ( edge , 3g + wifi ). That's really cpu intensive for such usage.

    I prefer to select the most accurated bitrate for the situation, than consuming 100% of your cpu just for lazy stuff :)

    edit: on what i see, this solution is not dedicated to live encoding.

    Hi there

    I've jsut tested latest pvr-testing commit.

    Recording are now working ok. :)

    I saw you started to correct the pid change. It doesn't seems to work for dvb-c here.


    We still have the "VNSI-Error: payload not PES ? ,VNSI-Error: dropping broken PES packet" problem.

    Then xbmc Freeze and need to be restarded ( not vdr ) .

    Here are the log on vdr side:

    and on xbmc side :

    I don't know if those log helps you. Don't hesitate to ask me for more if you need to debug.

    Regards.

    Hello Ping Pong

    Few days ago you've submitted this patch :

    http://trac.xbmc.org/changeset/29711/branches/pvr-testing2

    It solved some xbmc freeze problem.

    Now with yesterday commits , the problem came back again. I think the guilty commit is here:

    http://trac.xbmc.org/changeset/29745/branches/pvr-testing2

    Now when i switch channels on xbmc side, sometime xbmc is completly frozen, and on vdr side it gives paylod pes problems:

    Then xbmc freeze.

    xbmc log:

    Code
    AddOnLog: pvrclient/VDR VNSI Client: changing to channel 110

    At least with the No Signal video, xbmc didn't froze. But that's a strange behavior, because I totally can switch to this channel from vdr directly, or if i force it 2 or 3 times on xbmc. But it nevers works on the first time.

    Perhaps the zap takes too much time on my config for some channels, but how could i force xbmc/vdr to wait a little bit longer when zapping ?


    I'm for now with xbmc pvr-testing 29768


    <EDIT<: an interesting thing i've found up with one of the channel causing dropping broken PES packet. I couldn't tune to this channel , each time I've tryed it gives dropping brken PES packet error.
    So I tryed to stream it directly on vlc with streamdev. Then vdr gave me this log:

    Adding pid 34 (type 0xc1) RegDesc not found -> assume AC-3
    Adding pid 53 (type 0xc0) RegDesc not found -> assume AC-3

    Then I could tune to this channel from xbmc after this.

    It seems vdr doesn't add the new pid on some channel while tuning from vnsi server.

    </EDIT>
    Cheers.

    I've updated my Debian today, and it updated ffmpeg and libavcodec, etc.

    Now I have the same problem as you.

    The stream generated by the new ffmpeg is ok after some test.
    The problem is on Segmenter side.

    If i reinstall libavcodec/format/device to svn20100126 , and recompile segmenter it works ok. With svn20100411, segmenter stays without doing nothing, saying on the console:


    I can't track the problem in segmenter. I think it needs to be updated to new stuff in libavcodec/format, but i can't do this.

    For the moment use older ffmpeg & libavcodec ...

  • [ANNOUNCE] iStreamdev-1.0.1 - stream vdr & media files to your Iphone

    No it's normal that recording encoding is faster than live video. For Live video, ffmpeg have to wait for each frame at 25fps. For recording it already has the whole video so it can encode to max speed. On my cpu it can encode to 100 fps.

    So it's normal if your stream is ready faster for video and recordings.

    I don't see where your problem come from here as there's nothing in your log that could help.

    What kind of DVB stream you have ? DVB-c , t, s ?

    Hi there

    I've tried vnsiserver , it looks really promising.

    I have 2 problem with it for now.

    When i zap from xbmc, afeter few channel zap, xbmc freeze ( can't stop the player while buffering ), and on vdr side it flood my logfile with:

    VNSI-Error: dropping broken PES packet

    on xbmc side when it's locked, it give this:

    Code
    DEBUG: AddOnLog: pvrclient/VDR VNSI Client: changing to channel 4

    The only way is to kill xbmc and restart it.

    If i switch to the same channel jsut after, it gives few VNSI-Error: dropping broken PES packet , and then it plays it fine.


    The second problem i have is i can't see the recordings.

    Folder looks empty. Is it supposed to work or it's not done yet ?

    I use vdr-1.7.14 , and xbmc pvr-testing svn from today.

    Thanks for your work.

  • [ANNOUNCE] iStreamdev-1.0.1 - stream vdr & media files to your Iphone

    to achieve this, a whole new client needs to be done, as many features won't work on other browsers :

    - i have a bunch of triggers on animation start and end ( not supported by IE, Firefox, Opera, etc ).
    - All iphone looking drop down menu with multi selection works only on Iphone with touch events.
    - Many jqTouch specific events are used.

    The good thing are:

    - php server don't write any html code, but send only json data.
    - so we only have to build a new .html client for other browsers and detects wich one is best suited according to client browser.

    What needs to be done on server side:
    - New json functions & parameters to call streaming process according to client type.


    There's a lot of works, I only concentrate on Iphone features for now.
    Perhaps later.
