Hi
After literally a year or more, I've finally found the one thing that was
causing my problems with this.
Problem: Any version of vdr-xine above 0.8.0 (and associated xine-lib and
xine-ui from Reinhard's website) caused audio and video skips a few minutes
into watching a recording. This was indicated by multiple "fixing sound
card drift by XXXX pts" messages in the xine console coinciding with the
video "catching up"
Fix: (too easy, as these things often turn out to be!!!) modify
~/.xine.config
from:
audio.synchronization.av_sync_method:0
audio.synchronization.resample_mode:0
to:
audio.synchronization.av_sync_method:resample
audio.synchronization.resample_mode:on
HOORAY!!! I'm finally able to move off a 2007 plugin!
Next problem - I can't get vdpau to work. But I'll start another thread for
that.
Regards
Simon

Subject: vdr-xine - skipping audio & video
Hi - am at my wits end!!!
I've now tried vdr-xine-0.9.3 with XV and with VDPAU, and several settings
in .xine/config for engine.buffers.audio_num_buffers (2300) and
engine.buffers.video_num_frames (60) but I still get skips in audio and
video when viewing recorded programs - which I don't get in
vdr-xine-0.8.0.
The skips occur at the same time as VDR console messages "buffering xx
frames", and start out OK when watching the program but within a few
minutes deteriorate further and further.
I've been trying to upgrade from 0.8.0 since 2007 now - but it's the only
version which works flawlessly for me.
My production box has:
vdr-1.6.0
fedora 10 with latest kernel
fluxbox and X window manager
latest standard v4l-dvb drivers
plugins: vdr-xine-0.8.0, iptv, epgsearch, skinenigmang, femon, radio,
recstatus, pvrinput.
xine started with :
xine --no-splash -Bfpqg --hide-gui -r anamorphic -V
xv -Dtvtime:method=Greedy2Frame,cheap_mode=0,pulldown=0,use_progressive_frame_flag=1
--post vdr_video --post vdr_audio
vdr://tmp/vdr-xine/stream#demux:mpeg_pes
I've tested the following
vdr-1.7.9 with the s2-liplianin drivers
vdr-1.7.9 with the standard latest v4l-dvb drivers
vdr-xine various versions from 0.8.1 right up to 0.9.3
xine-lib-1.2 with VDPAU and with XV output started by either:
xine --no-splash -Bfpqg --hide-gui -r anamorphic -V
vdpau -Dtvtime:method=Greedy2Frame,cheap_mode=0,pulldown=0,use_progressive_frame_flag=1
--post vdr_video --post vdr_audio vdr://tmp/vdr-xine/stream#dex:mpeg_pes
OR
xine --no-splash -Bfpqg --hide-gui -r anamorphic -V
xv -Dtvtime:method=Greedy2Frame,cheap_mode=0,pulldown=0,use_progressive_frame_flag=1
--post vdr_video --post vdr_audio
vdr://tmp/vdr-xine/stream#demux:mpeg_pes
Can someone share their experiences with VDPAU and vdr-xine, or offer any
suggestions???
Thanks
Simon
