Hi all, well, I upgraded my rpihddevice to the git repository and see that you have added a 'zoom' type feature for SD - that's awesome!
New problem though, with 1080i atsc, I'm getting screen blanking every 20 seconds or so. It's fine with 480i with the deinterlacer enabled (as per the log). 720p also works fine with deinterlacer disabled. I can't find anything in the log files that might help with troubleshooting this problem.
Not sure if this is a known issue or not...
Thanks
Norm

What I have done is lowered the priority to the streamdev-client in one room, and leaving the priority high in my main room. The main room RPI is powered by the TV USB port so with my programable remote I insert a 10 second delay between issuing the poweroff command to the rpi and powering off the TV (which removes power from the RPI). This seems to have resolved my contention issues.On Wed, Jul 9, 2014 at 3:20 PM, Lars Hanisch <dvb@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote:Am 09.07.2014 18:47, schrieb Lars Hanisch:
