Thanks John, what a shame about the documentation (Microsoft's fault? Sad). I'll try to attach an hour-long dvr-ms sample from standard definition/NTSC to help too..

John: here's an NTSC standard definition sample from Canada (I also pm'd it to you)

I've posted a new mplayer.dll to http://www.megaupload.com/?d=REBCWYZO

If you'd like to test it out and give me feedback on what works and doesn't I'd appreciate it. It uses a completely different method of extracting the video and audio timestamps than any previous version so feedback on a wide variety of sample types is very useful to me. It seems to work a good bit better on most sample I have but it doesnt work on one or two of them and I havent had time to investigate... so dont expect too much at this stage!

Having said that, the 720p ATSC samples now appear to work as do the Meedio samples but I'm not sure if the audio and video will stay in sync for whole shows...please let me know. Also, seeking only partially works at this point but I hope to fix that later.

Finally, keep a copy of your old mplayer.dll in case this turns out to be worse than the previous one.

Thanks in advance,

John

WOW, Thanks John that was very quick Smile Will test out tonight and report back

@John, are you using the 'old' MPlayer from XBMC's trunk (in the SVN) as a base, or are you using the 'new' MPlayer.dll development branch from the SVN?

I'm making my changes in mplayer itself and then porting those changes to "XBMC mplayer". At first I ported the changes to the development branch but they didnt work for some reason that I couldnt figure out. I'm sure it's nothing major but I didnt have time to investigate further so in the meantime I ported the changes to the main trunk and it worked. So the dll I recently posted is based on the 'old' Mplayer, but when I finally submit a patch it'll be based on the 'new' mplayer.

I just tried it out on a one-hour show, NTSC analog cable, and it seems to work in sync longer than the old mplayer.dll. But when I got to about 30 minutes, the video fell behind again, creating that weird out-of-sync feeling.

I was watching it while skipping commercials though, so if someone watched it straight through I guess it could happen earlier, at ~twenty-three minutes?

Can you tell me what happens if you dont skip? (seeking might be the problem here). You dont need to sit and watch it obviously - just see if it's in sync or not after an hour or so without skipping.

Thnaks,

John


RE: MegaUpload - KrisuTeam - 2007-01-26

Thanks for the mplayer.dll, I've been really waiting to get DVR-MS support for my XBOX. Next time would it be possible to upload the DLL file somewhere else besides MegaUpload. I always get a message, that my countries download quota is fully used and I need to install the MegaUpload toolbar. It's not spyware, but I don't really like installing strange toolbars on my computer. Keep up the good work. Big Grin

I'm open to suggestions.

Just given it a quick test, seems great so far except the records i have are from Media Center on Vista on a pal system, just standard uk freeview recordings, they show in 4:3 instead of 16:9, seems ok if i tell XBMC to stretch to 16:9, now gonna watch a show through and see if the sync is all good Smile


- stepir - 2007-01-29

Video and Audio sync works fine, but I had not the possibilities to try longer recording than 15-20min done with my xp mce.

With the latest dll the video show interlaced on my 480p plasma, while with the original one from xbmc where not. Any clue?

Thanks

sure, will try Smile IN previous versions of the dll though, have had issues where not skipping still triggers it, but will try to watch a PBS show or something!

Thanks again, John, it's much appreciated!

(I think the a/v sync issues are related to my NTSC analog cable, I'm glad the rest of you don't have issues though Smile)

anywonder - thanks for your help on this - I see the problem in the file you posted before. My recordings work ok but yours are somehow different. I guess there are a lot of slight variations in the format which is why I need so many samples and testing help. Anyway, I think I have a fix for you which I hope to post soon enough.

John
