Which VDR version with Openelec? - bibi - 2012-12-03
Hi,
I'm using Openelec with TVHeadend, but get a few problems with the sound (see here http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=146221).
I would like to install vdr to determine if the audio issue that i get comes from tvheadend.
Could you point me which vdr version is the best/stable with the current Openelec 3.0 beta 2.
Thanks,

VDR has been rock solid for years, regardless of version. Since I develop the vnsi plugin for VDR, I use a developer version: 1.7.31.
There are some distros which provide the vdr-plugin-vnsiserver:
- for Ubuntu you can install vdr from the Ubuntu ppa and the plugin from wsnipex xvba-testing ppa.
- OE has included the vnsiserver plugin in their disto of VDR

Yes, I use it since 2009
OpenElec is the Client. Have a look first at the Server
If German is no Problem
=> http://www.vdr-portal.de
and
=> http://www.yavdr.org one of some distros which works mostly out of the Box ( in English too)

It should not make much difference from where you get the vdr sources but I recommend that you use the vdr-plugin-vnsiserver sources from opdenkamp repo: https://github.com/opdenkamp/xbmc-pvr-addons/tree/master/addons/pvr.vdr.vnsi/vdr-plugin-vnsiserver
RE: Which VDR version with Openelec? - bibi - 2012-12-03
Installed and no sound with HD channel (same as here http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=146959&pid=1254961#pid1254961).
Will try to install from opdenkamp
RE: Which VDR version with Openelec? - FernetMenta - 2012-12-03
This version is for XBMC 11.0: https://github.com/opdenkamp/xbmc/tree/Eden-pvr/xbmc/pvrclients/vdr-vnsi/vdr-plugin-vnsiserver
This https://github.com/opdenkamp/xbmc-pvr-addons/tree/master/addons/pvr.vdr.vnsi/vdr-plugin-vnsiserver is for XBMC 12.0, current beta
After PVR has been merged to mainline opdenkamp xbmc-pvr-addons holds compatible version.
RE: Which VDR version with Openelec? - bibi - 2012-12-03
Ok,i get a few issues with openelec beta 2 FRODO, last xbmc-vnsi, vdr-plugin-vnsi from https://github.com/opdenkamp/xbmc-pvr-addons/tree/master/addons/pvr.vdr.vnsi/vdr-plugin-vnsiserver :
- no audio on hd channels (TF1HD)
- random crash of vdr, i get that in dmesg : cLiveStreamer s[657]: segfault at dd2f75c6 ip b70869f2 sp b277f260 error 5 in libvdr-vnsiserver.so.1.7.31[b7071000+2d000]

RE: Which VDR version with Openelec? - FernetMenta - 2012-12-04
Does TF1HD use Dolby Digital Plus (EAC-3)? This is only half implemented. If I find a FTA channel on Astra, I'll finish this work.
RE: Which VDR version with Openelec? - bibi - 2012-12-04
yes it uses e-ac3!
i change to xvdr which works fine on this channel
post on this thread if/when you had time to implement support so i could test. anyway keep the good work
NOow i wonder if the problem is the same with tvheaded will investigate :-)
RE: Which VDR version with Openelec? - bibi - 2012-12-04
I just notice something strange. When i use e-ac3 channel with HDMI audio output (with all passthrough option enabled), the video stutters a lot and i get no sound. All come back with analog/numerique audio output.
Audio output device and audio pasthrough device are set to nvidia hdmi : maybe an issue between e-ac3 and audioengine with passtrough ?
Without passtrough ac3 and with hdmi audio output it works.

You may have hit this problem: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=153115
For some reason your GT520 reports only 2 channels. Can you post your xorg.log
