Hi Guys

Iam new here at this forum , buth iam not new to TVheadend and XBMC-PVR.
The best software ever keep up the good work guys

I have a couple of suggestions to improvments for the PVR part in Xbmc.

iam running this setup:

TVheadend - backend 2 dvb-s2 cards -dedicated server
OpenELEC PVR on several differen machines in the house


What i have noticed that is a very big problem for DVB-S2 users

every channel has multiple audio streams and subtitles streams

buth the order is not consistens so english audio can be on stream 3 in some channels and 2 in others.

the problem is when changing channel it wil alway reset the audio and subtitle stream to some other language.

as there is NOT possible to save settings PR.channel but Global only

"Sett standard for all films"

it shuld have a save option for that channel only. so when changing channels in pvr it can remeber what stream the audio and subtitles was. so you dont need to change that every time you switch a channel.

And i dont know if this is a OpenELEC problem buth HD TVstreams (DVB-S2) is stuttering on all my machines. even with supperior hardware and different grahpics card. both Nvidia, and geforce cards.

iam always using lateste verson of TVheadend and XBMC-PVR (OpenELEC)

HTS Tvheadend 2.12.99~pulse-4
XBMC-PVR 11.0 pre git: 0298f66

Best regards
Prilly

All channel settings are stored in a database. You don't need to explicitly save those settings. If they differ from the defaults they get stored. If you push ""Set standard for all films" every time, you prevent the settings from getting stored.

Since we all might have a different definition of "superior", could you post your hw spec? In particular I am interested in the models of your graphic cards. Have you enabled vdpau?

Using an Atom/ION based system all my HD channels work nice and smooth.

Maybe you're using the wrong deinterlacing and scaling methods.

I use Bob deinterlacing and Bilinear scaling.

Also, in case you didn't know, the # button on an MCE remote cycles through the audio streams, much quicker way than going into the Audio menus.

Hi Thanks for your feedback

i have enabled vdpau and all that, problem i experienc is that i have
Broadcom Hardware Decoder installed in 1 of my servers
and using this for decoding movies, as this decoder is not in use on HD streams from TVheadend,

This is my hardware:

PC1

Fujitsu Siemens Esprimo Q5030
Broadcom Hardware Decoder
Motherboard chipset Intel GM45 Express
Processor Intel Core 2 Duo T5670
OpenELEC - XBMC-PVR - Generic

PC2

Pentium 4 3 Ghz
geforce 8500gt/pcie sse2
opengl 3.3.0
OpenELEC - XBMC-PVR - Generic

PC3

shuttle
AMD athlon 64 x2
geforce 8800
OpenELEC - XBMC-PVR - Generic


i also use a decentralized MySql for database

you said that settings like audio and subtitles are stored in database
is there some DB overview or similar! maybe i have some errors in mysql, sins they are not stored

this are my DBs, they are autocreated by Openelec

There seems to be a separate DB for each machine i have, shuldent they use same db?

this is my advancedsettings.xml

<advancedsettings>
<network>
<disableipv6>true</disableipv6>
</network>

<videodatabase>
<type>mysql</type>
<host>192.168.10.27</host>
<port>3306</port>
<user>user</user>
<pass>pass</pass>
<name>xbmc_video</name>
</videodatabase>

<musicdatabase>
<type>mysql</type>

<user>user</user>
<pass>pass</pass>
<name>xbmc_music</name>
</musicdatabase>
<useddsfanart>true</useddsfanart>
</advancedsettings>


so i dont think there is some issues with this!

Hi iam witing for my libcec stuff

[prilly]

is there anybody that has some ideas about this?

[opdenkamp]

pvr uses a separate setting in advancedsettings for mysql (pvrdatabase)

as for the stuttering: ensure that you're running an ION build for the nvidia cards, and that you set the deinterlacing method to one of the vdpau or ION optimised settings.
