Hi guys,

I just added the new ZDF HD channels (ZDF, KIKA, ZDF neo, kultur and info) and
I get strange effects like the ones described in
http://www.heise.de/newsticker/meldung/Neue-HDTV-Sender-Ruckler-auf-bestimmten-Receivern-1564225.html.
It looks as if the color pallette switched every 0.7 s. This didn't happen
with the old ZDF HD channel. My setup is unchanged. Other HD channels are not
affected.

Did anyone else observe this, and what can we do to fix this?

Kommt ein Kameltreiber daher und fragt:
"Warum sitzt du denn im Sand und sagst immer 'Boooaaar'?"
"Ja, Mensch, Boooaaar, kama hier viel Sand klauen!"

You didn't mention your setup in detail, but I assume you're
using a xine-lib VDPAU based solution.

In my vdr-xine setup I had to switch from vdpau_h264 to
vdpau_h264_alter decoder. The following lines from ~/.xine/config
give vdpau_h264_alter a higher priority:

# priority for vdpau_h264 decoder
# numeric, default: 0
#engine.decoder_priorities.vdpau_h264:0

# priority for vdpau_h264_alter decoder
# numeric, default: 0
engine.decoder_priorities.vdpau_h264_alter:1

Bye.

Hi,
same problem as mentioned by Harald. Setting priority to alternativ
Decoder did not solve the problem. However, running xine-lib-1.1.16.1.

Hi

Same problem here, using xine-lib 1.1.19 (aka 2.0) , xlo + vdr-sxfe in vdpau
mode, vdr 1.7.22 and nvidia lib 290.10

All HD channels in Freesat (28.2E) or French Canalsat (19.2E) or DVB-T HD are
perfect

TS recorded files play nice with mplayer in vdpau mode ...

I have recorded many concert today on 3Sat HD, hope watch them ;o)

Thanks for your help

Yes, it's (still) vdr 1.7.15 and xinelib 1.0.7

I'll give the alter decoder a try next weekend. Maybe I'll be upgrading my
setup ;-)

Did anyone else observe this,

Yes. Same here.
It happens only when I play back new channels
like 3sat HD with xine.

and what can we do to fix this?

I installed the latest *xine-lib/xine-lib-1.2-vdpau*
<http://anonscm.debian.org/hg/xine-lib/xine-lib-1.2-vdpau/> from
http://anonscm.debian.org/hg/xine-lib/xine-lib-1.2-vdpau/archive/tip.tar.bz2

However, with that xine-lib, xine-ui now shows some
of the buttons (vcd, dvb) twice, leaving no more room
for the vdr button.
I have found no solution for that yet.
I worked around it by entering the vdr mrl on the
xine command line.
With that workaround, vdr works fine here with
the new channels.

Carsten.

I have now. I noticed that the new version creates
a new plugin directory /usr/lib64/xine/plugins/2.1.
The previous one was using /usr/lib64/xine/plugins/2.0.
It seems that xine-ui was loading from both, so I
removed the old one. Now all is OK.
