Hello,

Can someone please point me to some documentation on how to interpret the dignostics info displayed by pressing "o" (codecinfo) when the video is playing..

the codec, cpu and fps are clear.. wondering about the rest..

Just popped in a new vid card - just trying to understand how it is working..

Thanks in advance!

If you post some typical output from pressing "o" here, and point out which bits seem mysterious, we can have a look and point you at the appropriate Wikipedia articles or whatever.

ok.. for ex. this is what i am seeing while playing one of the music videos...



D () in the first two lines, seems to be referring to the audio codec. Not sure what some of the entries in P() in both lines are referring to

Third line C() is not fully clear.

W() in the fourth line is clear
interested in knowing more about the entries within S()

Appreciate the help! thank you!

P() is the video cache percentage and the speed that it's filling it in.. i think

From VideoreferenceClock.cpp/.h:

S(refresh:60 - current refreshrate

missed:35 - total number of clock updates missed

speed:+0.100% - the frequency of the clock set by dvdplayer/frequency of the systemclock

sync:46% - m_presentcorr
error:31% - m_presenterr

m_presentcorr and m_presenterr are in RenderManager.cpp/h but from a quick glance at the code I can't see what they mean.
