[RFE] Support for H265/HEVC streaming #47

Closed hargut closed 8 years ago

hargut commented 8 years ago

Dear Rainer,

first of all, many thanks for your great development work on the PVR branch of Kodi & the VDR backend! Currently 4k is coming up fast, and there are as well some (demo)-channels available on Astra 19.2E. Kodi already has H265/HVEC support, and VDR is also moving in that direction.

As it looks like, the patch from Thomas Reufer, published on VDR-Portal.de is providing the HVEC parser for VDR which seems to work properly. Details can be found in this thread: http://www.vdr-portal.de/board17-developer/board97-vdr-core/p1269333-rfc-h-265-frame-parser/

To successfully enable VNSI to stream 4k, it looks like it requires its own parser. It would be a great thing to have the PVR-Backend 4k streaming enabled.

Best regards, Harald Gutmann

This is on my list but other things have higher priority atm. With support of Intel GPUs for 10-bit this will get more interest.

sorry for write under closed ticket - can anyone can confirm this parser works ? i tried latest git version and on 4K channels im get only sound like Radio station, with Tvheadend no problem ...

FernetMenta commented 8 years ago

@papafelice has contributed this code. iirc he tested on dvb-t2 channels.

I've tested it on DVB-S2 Astra 19.2E 4k channels with success. Works smooth. You just have to have vdr h265 enabled, with the patch mentioned in the 1st post of this thread.

Only sound on the channels gives me the impression that the vdr h265 patch is missing, since vdr without the patch will parse audio only. Audio is on these channels mpeg2 and will get parsed properly without modification. Since video is h265, and vdr is not aware of that, the video pid will not be handled in plain vdr. So the vnsiserver plugin will not receive the video stream from vdr.

You just have to have vdr h265 enabled<

Some settings ? ok, patch was missing in my build i just added and compile, but i have problem now with channels. Even if i manual add to channels list i dont see them from Kodi side ... :(

hargut commented 8 years ago

No setting, just patch, compile & install properly. The hvec parser patch for vdr does not introduce any settings.

piotrasd commented 8 years ago

yes, everything working great ! thanks !
