Video artifacts / Sound dropouts with Technisat CableStar HD2 #105

Closed Jarosch closed 11 years ago

Hello,

in the #openelec channel I got the recommendation to share my issue with you.

I'm building the OpenELEC releases by myself on a virtual Ubuntu machine. Currently I'm using this one: OpenELEC-Intel.x86_64-devel-20130223090559-r13361

This is my HTPC setup: Mainboard: GA-H55M-USB3 Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i3 CPU 530 @ 2.93GHz (Clarkdale / Nehalem) Graphics: Intel HD Graphics RAM: 4GB Corsair DDR3

TV Tuner: Technisat CableStar HD2 (URL: https://www.technisat.com/en_XX/CableStar-HD-2/352-2664-1631/ )

For watching LiveTV I've installed the vdr-addon in combination with the VNSI plugin which is provided as PVR client.

The problem: Watching LiveTV is more than less impossible. Each second video artifacts paired with audio dropouts. Using another PVR client with the vdr-addon, for example the XVDR client, doesn't change anything. Still the same problems.

Some months ago I've installed a yavdr distribution on my HTPC. And I was surprised as I noticed that video and audio worked like a charm. I didn't have these problems with the yavdr distribution.

Of course I checked my coax cable. I've connected the coax cable which is usually connected to the htpc tv tuner card to my Samsung PS60E6500. There it works great, without video/audio problems. Signal strength value at the Samsung TV is about 90 - 95%. Bit errors are by 0.

I will post some logs now with content which I get while tuning a channel with the vdr-addon and VNSI PVR client.

Thanks for any help! Jarosch

Hi,

it's really strange. With the latest OpenELEC sources it's working now without audio problems. Kernel get updated now to 3.7.10 . Not sure, if the kernel update is related to this problem. Watching the changelog for 3.7.10 I can see that they have patched some ALSA hda stuff.

Now's everything fine!

So, I think this can be closed.

Thanks anyway!

Jarosch
