Hi, I am running Fedora Core 3. I have made lots of changes to try and make it play nice. LANG set to en_AU in /etc/sysconfig/i18n LANG="en_AU" SUPPORTED="en_AU.UTF-8:en_AU:en" set no NTPL environment variable in /etc/profile export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.1 changed prelink options in /etc/sysconfig PRELINK_OPTS="-m --no-exec-shield" and forced a relink. disabled selinux in /etc/sysconfig/selinux SELINUX=disabled using patched versions of dxr3 and dxr3plugin from cachalot.mine.nu With 1.3.12 it works pretty well except for an annoying jerky playback issue with mplayer that has snuck in in a recent version of the plugin. MPlayer playback outside of VDR is fine. However, whenever I switch to a version of VDR newer than 1.3.12 the video/audio sync gradually drifts apart and switching between channels stops working properly - I have to select a channel, press "switch" and then select it again and press "switch" again for it to actually change the channel. All the usual dxr3 problems still there in either versions - pink display after mplayer exits, display occasionally inverting red/blue. I also have problems with AC3 sources - can't get them to play back. The audio detection on my Denon 1602 switches to "analog" input when I try and play AC3 sources and I get no sound. Femon says the signal strength etc is fine. Anyone experienced anything similar? Any tips?
