Hi,

as I was wondering whether we could get CUDA-eabled H.264 support into Vomp for Windows, the alternative could
be to add H.264 support into the Qt version by usage of VDPAU. Does anybody know how complex this could be?

BR,
Carsten.

Hi,

was so hapy to get a second MVP. Unfortunately, it will display menus and everything, but when I start
a recording or live tv, there is only sound, no video. D3A box. 0.2.7 server and dongle with latest e-tobi
vdr setting.

Here the log, I see nothing wrong?!?

Hi,

I think I am too long using SAP. Well, I successfully ran makedevenv-5. Then I changed the hash and star keys to skip 5 minutes, as thins helps me a lot with those nasty ads. But what do I do next? a ./build in the dongle directory doesn't work. Another call of makedevenv-5 will download and run for ours (sorry, only 64MB available in the development DomU. Yes, it's all virtual now...).

Can anyone give me a hint?

Thanks,
Carsten.

Hi,

I would like to suggest that VOMP support skipping ads by at least offering a 5 minutes skip. I noticed
that hash and start are skipping 10 seconds, as yellow and blue do. So either pair could be used to
have an alternative.

Ads seem to get longer and longer. I notice that in German TV they tend to be 7 minutes now. I have
heart some months ago about an implementation, where the buttons work like this (don't remember
exactly): press skip forward will jump 5 minutes, antoher press, another 5 minutes. When then pressing
skip backwards, it will jump back half of the time it jumped forward in the last step. Next forward would
jump half of the time forward as the last backward step. The guy who told me was absolutely happy with
that. I guess that this implementation is a bit more tricky, as one would have to set back the skipping
period to 5 minutes after a) a different key press than skip forward/backward or b) after a certain ammount
of time. Nevertheless, I think this is a nifty idea.

I am not sure to have enough knowledge or time to try it out. But you'll never know... 

Best Regards,
Carsten.

Hi folks,

Santa has brought me a bunch of disc space. So I wanted to transfer some DVDs I have onto that. I simply
took all VOBs and transfered them to vdr format by ProjectX (latest version). I generated a new index and
let them split by genindex. But it will not play...just a black screen.

I should mention that vdrMediaClient has no problems playing the resulting files structures...

Any ideas?

Best Regards,
Carsten.

Hi,

first of all: that's a real nice piece of software. Up to now I used VdrMediaClient in version 0.0.0.7beta, which in fact does
what I expected.

There is a difference, though, that I would like to report. I guess it is related to the MPEG2 decoder. Colors look much better
and there are now such artefacts such as combs on high contrast edges. I am not a real expert on VdrMediaClient, but I know
that I can switch Decoders somehow. I also don't not know, how XP decides which one to use when there are more than one.

Marten, do you know how to influence that, or maybe check, what different decoders are used?

BR,
Carsten.
