DVB subtitles not in sync/hanging after latest git pull #83

Closed sgoyvaerts closed 11 years ago

Hi,

I've updated the vdr-plugin-xvdr to latest git/master a day ago.

Since the update I've been experiencing bad syncro/hanging of the DVB subtitltes.

I'm using VDR 1.7.27 (yavdr packages on Ubuntu 11.04) on the server side. The client is an ION box with Openelec 3.0 Beta 5 on it, with the xbmc-addon-xvdr from your repository.

The DVB source is Freesat Live TV (astra 28.2E).

Update : When watching a recording, the subs work fine.

Greetings, Steven

I rewrote large portions of the demuxer / parser code. Maybe there's still some problem in the demuxer code. I'll recheck that.

BTW, what means syncro/hanging ? Are the subtitles completely out of sync or are they just shifted in time (all constant) ? Are some subtitles missing ?

Please describe a bit more the symptoms.

Regards, Alex

Hi Alex,

I've been playing some recorded TV (HD and SD) : all dvb subtitles are displayed correctly. Then switched to live TV, and the subtitles on the sd channels work well most of the time. Following symptoms appeared several times after watching TV for about an hour :

Symptom 1 on sd : Only a part of the subtitling is displayed, while the conversation continues. After 10-15 seconds the subtitles resume in sync and continue to display the corresponding conversation. Symptom 2 on sd : When a dialog ends, the last part of the subtitle is kept on display until the following subtitle event starts.

HD (compared BBC One with BBC One HD) : When switching to BBC One HD, DVB subs start in sync with the dialog but it stops displaying after a few seconds. After a few minutes another bit of subtitle (in sync) is displayed.

Update : watching Newsround on BBC One HD, which is a live broadcast, and the DVB subtitles are good.

Hope this description helps out. Otherwise I'd be happy to provide more information.

Greetings, Steven

Hello Alex,

Just noticed you pushed some changes to the demuxer branch. I've installed this version and now all DVB subtitles are running fine.

Big thanks for all the effort you've put in, pushing this addon/plugin forward.

Kind regards, Steven

Huh,.. ;-)

I just wanted to ask you to try this version. Great news. So my rewritten H264 parser also seems to work for you, ... I'll clean up the code and merge it into master.

... and close this ticket.

Ticket closed.

and thanks again.
