hi, I have started some kind of statistics collection.

I have now used this with WRAP_THRESHOLD = 200000 and made some statistics from YLE TV1. It seems that different channels vary here a lot - I'll make some more tests. See: http://www.netlab.hut.fi/~kex/vdr-xine.html Also: It seems that I got now two audio jumps in 50mins, and you see the deltaAV values. The stats gathering stuff is still going on, and I'll update that page later. If you have an idea on what would be a good thing to watch, I can try and collect that info, too. The audio jumps in this case seem to happen for some other reason - see log excerpt: ptsVideo: 5859333790, ptsAudio: 5859271851, ptsPCM: -1, ptsDolby: -1, ptsXine: 5859212243, dV: 121547, dA: 59608, dP: 0, dD: 0 load_plugins: plugin mad will be used for audio streamtype 01. load_plugins: plugin dxr3-mpeg2 failed to instantiate itself. video_out_xv: VO_PROP_INTERLACED(0) load_plugins: plugin mpeg2 will be used for video streamtype 00. audio_alsa_out:open pause_resume=1 output sample rate 48000 audio jump, diff=0 video_out_xv: VO_PROP_INTERLACED(0) osd: can't find out current locale character set video_out: throwing away image with pts 66254 because it's too old (diff : 29609). video_out: throwing away image with pts 68054 because it's too old (diff : 28620). video_out: throwing away image with pts 69854 because it's too old (diff : 27088). input_vdr: flush buffers (vb: 0, ab: 0, vf: 0, af: 0) done. prebuffer=0 pts video_out_xv: VO_PROP_INTERLACED(0) video discontinuity #4, type is 0, disc_off 0 waiting for audio discontinuity #4 ao_close audio_out: no streams left, closing driver audio discontinuity #4, type is 0, disc_off 0 waiting for in_discontinuity update #4 vpts adjusted with prebuffer to 99321 input_vdr: flush buffers (vb: 0, ab: 0, vf: 0, af: 0) done. prebuffer=0 pts ao_flush (loop running: 1) video discontinuity #5, type is 0, disc_off 0 waiting for audio discontinuity #5 audio discontinuity #5, type is 0, disc_off 0 waiting for in_discontinuity update #5 vpts adjusted with prebuffer to 250142 osd: can't find out current locale character set osd: can't find out current locale character set set_speed 750000 video discontinuity #6, type is 2, disc_off 5674956190 waiting for audio discontinuity #6 audio discontinuity #6, type is 2, disc_off 5674956190 waiting for in_discontinuity update #6 vpts adjusted with prebuffer to 275892 video_out_xv: VO_PROP_INTERLACED(0) load_plugins: plugin mpeg2 will be used for video streamtype 00. set_speed 723000 video_out_xv: VO_PROP_INTERLACED(0) set_speed 610504 osd: can't find out current locale character set video_out: throwing away image with pts 284892 because it's too old (diff : 7691). video_out: throwing away image with pts 286692 because it's too old (diff : 5891). video_out: throwing away image with pts 288492 because it's too old (diff : 4091). video_out: throwing away image with pts 290292 because it's too old (diff : 2291). set_speed 406734 set_speed 219492 set_speed 151509 set_speed 186515 load_plugins: plugin mad will be used for audio streamtype 01. audio_alsa_out:open pause_resume=1 output sample rate 48000 set_speed 750000 audio jump, diff=12259 video jump set_speed 743915 video_out: throwing away image with pts 319092 because it's too old (diff : 7214). video_out: throwing away image with pts 320892 because it's too old (diff : 5414). video_out: throwing away image with pts 322692 because it's too old (diff : 3614). video_out: throwing away image with pts 324492 because it's too old (diff : 1814). set_speed 673031 set_speed 520034 set_speed 347636 set_speed 269462 set_speed 167740 set_speed 159165 set_speed 235632 set_speed 404240 set_speed 560476 set_speed 769202 set_speed 929870 set_speed 1000000 200 frames delivered, 6 frames skipped, 11 frames discarded osd: can't find out current locale character set video_out: throwing away image with pts 12634692 because it's too old (diff : 38605). video_out: throwing away image with pts 12641892 because it's too old (diff : 32436). fixing sound card drift by 3648 pts video_out: throwing away image with pts 12674292 because it's too old (diff : 2757). fixing sound card drift by 2787 pts fixing sound card drift by 2087 pts 200 frames delivered, 23 frames skipped, 3 frames discarded fixing sound card drift by 1562 pts osd: can't find out current locale character set fixing sound card drift by -1250 pts fixing sound card drift by -1250 pts fixing sound card drift by -1250 pts fixing sound card drift by -1250 pts fixing sound card drift by -1250 pts fixing sound card drift by -1250 pts fixing sound card drift by -1250 pts fixing sound card drift by -1250 pts fixing sound card drift by -1250 pts fixing sound card drift by -1250 pts fixing sound card drift by -1250 pts fixing sound card drift by -1250 pts fixing sound card drift by -1250AFD present: 8 ptsVideo: 5859333790, ptsAudio: 5859291291, ptsPCM: -1, ptsDolby: -1, ptsXine: 5859231613, dV: 102177, dA: 59678, dP: 0, dD: 0 yours, Jouni
