Re: audo/video sync in dvb-t

Hi txutxe, Are you sure your TV channels are using DTS, and not AC-3 (or EAC-3) ? AC-3 audio is very common, but I'm not aware of any broadcasters using DTS, and would be extremely surprised if anyone was using it for SD TV. Where in the world are you? Have you tried running "top" on your Pi (e.g. v...

Re: how to get clock running

What does your code look like that sends the video packets to video_decode ? Are you setting the timestamps there?

Re: audo/video sync in dvb-t

Bit of a shameless plug:

https://github.com/linuxstb/pidvbip/

This is my tvheadend client for the Pi. It's still under development, and is a bit rough around the edges, but is working well for watching live TV, and I haven't noticed any A/V sync issues, with any audio codec.

Request to Dom - more info on firmware commits

Hi Dom, Firstly, thanks for all the work you're doing for us Pi hackers. I've noticed that most (if not all) of your firmware commits seem to be in response to bug reports/feature requests made in various places around the internet - these forums, the github issue tracker, probably elsewhere (xbmc f...

Re: OpenMAX tear down

From memory, I think I've also seen other leftovers on the GPU, if I can recreate, I'll post the details. Ideally create a simple program (e.g. something based on hello_video code) that shows the problem. After a bit more testing, all I seem to get (in addition to the EGL stuff) is the video_decode...

Re: OpenMAX tear down

The issue is that the memory is allocated on the GPU - not in Linux space. BUT that said, it should clean up after itself - if it isn't then that's likely a bug somewhere. Have you got simple example code that exhibits the problem? I've been playing a little with the hello_pi samples to try and get...

Problem tearing down video playback pipeline

Hi, I'm the author of pidvbip, a Pi client for tvheadend. When a user changes TV channel in my client, it attempts to completely close the openmax pipeline (video_decode, image_fx, clock, video_scheduler, video_render, audio_render) before re-opening it. This seems to work fine the majority of the t...

Do you even need a graphical library? What about something like ncurses, which will have the advantage of being usable if you access the Pi remotely via ssh.

Hi Dom, Yes, that's exactly what happens - 50% of the time it's OK, 50% it's out of sync. I see that in my app, and also with omxplayer as you suggested. It would be great if you could fix this.

Re: Hardware accelerated video scaling

Yes. If you use the video_render component (the standard way to play video), then the default behaviour is for it to scale full-screen. You need to do something special to not display it full-screen.

Thanks for the reply. Does the GPU handle deinterlacing of HD content now? I thought it was only supported for SD content. But my main TV only supports 1080i, so in any case deinterlacing on the Pi isn't a universal solution. You say it's a complicated issue, but what if this functionaility is limit...

@OtherCrashOverride , Are you sure that this can actually be done on the Pi though? My understanding was that the Pi's openmax implementation was on the GPU, with just a thin wrapper running on the ARM to pass messages and data between the ARM and the GPU. I can't see how you can integrate ARM-based...
