Anything using xine-lib.

132

That's equivalent to what I got from ffplay when doing some other testing.
(I'm fairly sure that xine-lib's DVB plugin is a little broken wrt Freeview
HD.)

Given that the file could be played back without problem without
vdr-plugin-xine, I'm fairly sure that that's where the problem lies.

I'll have to give the other output method a test soonish.
