deinterlace interlaced video, or sync if got a interlace TV - Gamester17 - 2007-01-15
ultrabrutal Wrote:3. Not sure if this is a bug but I noticed that the image is very jacked. Lines do not appear straight. Considering resolution being equal to DVD (704x576) on a 768 line resolution display they should appear similar. Is something else used for rendering or what's going on?I bet the video is interlaced (480i NTSC, 576i PAL, or 1080i HDTV), if you have a progressive-scan television (480p or 720p) then try enable deinterlace bob or weave under interlaced handling XBMC OSD video settings while playing the video, or if you have a interlace television (480i NTSC, 576i PAL, or 1080i HDTV) then try enable "Sync Odd" or "Sync Even" under interlaced handling XBMC OSD video settings (test both to see which looks best). Note that XBMC's Auto-Select option for interlaced handling does not work that well last I checked so probebely not a good idea to even try that(?)
ultrabrutal Wrote:Ok tested streaming via DreamView on PC.DreamView on PC probebely have a built-in interlaced handling with a deinterlace filter that either auto-detects interlaced video and activates itself when needed(?), or it is active all the time(?) and that is why you do not see this 'issue' on your PC in that program. Note though that having a deinterlace filter (like bob or weave) activated on progressive video will decrease the precieved video quality, which is why it should only be active when needed.
3. Image looks much much better here than via XBMC. Lines are straights and not jacked
ultrabrutal Wrote:I think that the 16:9 signaling is embedded in the stream somewhere, mplayer or whatever is used could look at this for every frame and if it changes call an event handler which then renders frame at correct aspect or changes resolutionhmm, I guess MPlayer and the DVDPlayer cores should do that to do that but I don't think they already do, by design, so that is probebebly falls under feature request/suggestion?

asciii Wrote:@GeminiServer: VDR Support would be great!! I think it would not be too difficult since the vdr uses a simple protocol for receiving commands. (http://vdr-wiki.de/wiki/index.php/SVDRP)Please stay on-topic, thx There's already a VDR feature request discussion thread in the feature suggestions forum.

The VDR feature request discussion is a little bit outdated -> 2004-09-25
Since the Tuxbox client also does HTTP streaming (hope i am right) i thought this would be the right place for re-requesting.. sorry.

@gamester, yes Dreamview uses VLC+deinterlace filter.
- ultrabrutal - 2007-01-15
gamester17, no this is not interlace comb effect. This looks more like a low resolution image scalled up. I use "auto-select" deinterlacing which has worked fine so far. will try the others for fun...
Regarding 4:3/16:9 signaling, all I'm saying is "maybe" it's possible to assign an event handler and if it changes then mplayer/dvdplayer calls the event handler which then does one of the following:
1. changes aspect (if you do not have set resolution to auto)
2. changes resolution (if resolution is set to auto)
3. stops/restarts stream (worst possible fix hehe)
Of course if mplayer/dvdplayer does not have this functionality/event built in, yes it's a request. maybe one of the devs talk to the other devs and can ask for it/request it. tnx
kobazz, not correct.. You need to manually set the deinterlace option in VLC. Until then you have comb effect with interlaced channels in Dreamview
But it's a good setup for comparing to Gemini's code. And it appears the same 4:3/16:9 switching problem is in Dreamview but this does not mean it's not possible, maybe just not implemented.
The work Gemini did here is amazing. The next steps will be truly fantastic (EPG, recording). This is indeed a tuner for Xbox - one of the reasons why MediaPortal was started on PC. I see no reason why XBMC should not live for the next 3-4 years if taking into account roll out of fiber here in Denmark and the prospect of HDTV appearing for real

Can someone tell me why I am missing advancedsettings.xml in the new svn build?
- GeminiServer - 2007-01-16
@Kobazz
readthis http://www.xboxmediacenter.com/wiki/index.php?title=AdvancedSettings.xml
- Kobazz - 2007-01-16
gemini the wiki doesnt include zaptime and request time and I don't have your advancedsettings.xml anymore
.. will these settings be integrated into the GUI
??
- kraqh3d - 2007-01-16
advancedsettings has never been distributed with svn... i just looked at the code, and these are the valid setting strings (though I have no idea what they mean exactly)
Code:
<tuxbox>
<audiochannelselection>BOOL</audiochannelselection> # default false
<submenuselection>BOOL</submenuselection> # default false
<pictureicon>BOOL</pictureicon> # default true
<epgrequesttime>INT</epgrequesttime> # 0-3600, default 10
<defaultsubmenu>INT</defaultsubmenu> # 1-4, default 4
<defaultrootmenu>INT</defaultrootmenu> # 0-4, default 0
<zapwaittime>INT</zapwaittime> # 0-120, default 0

oohh thank you great chief crackhead

@Gemini, I'm afraid to say that i found a bug. Please dont hurt me. Allot of channels won't start streaming. I get this popup "zap to channel ...failed the stream will be stopped" and then it skips that channel and automatically tries to stream the next available one. Why is that? Did i found a bug or did I miss a setting?
- Kobazz - 2007-01-16
Oh, yeah the channels are on the same satellit and this is a part of the log:

- kraqh3d - 2007-01-16
if you know what that stuff means, would you please update the wiki?
- Kobazz - 2007-01-16
I see gemini and I were updating the wiki at the same time. Sorry for that
