Hi, i can't play HD channel with XVDR (Helix branch) If I leave a few minutes I get a choppy video ): is work fine with VNSI, but i don't need use this addons because i have a big list of channels, and VNSI is not able to load this big list..

it only applies to French channels I have just tried, the german HD channels work fine like ZDF HD...

I'm assuming you are using the latest "kodi-helix" branch of the plugin.

Are you using timeshift (configuration)? What's the cpu usage when the video starts to get choppy? The logs are a bit short. Are there any messages when the problem starts? Is this happening on any hd channel or just on this one?

Many things I want to know,...

il applies to all French HD channels. the cpu usage : vdr=102% kodi=40% i think is audio AC3 related. 500 lines of XVDR plugin log: http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=1X1Yti2e

Thanks for the information.

I just pushed the "ac3-fix" branch. This is a wild guess what may cause the problem. Please check if this branch makes any difference for you.

[pipelka]

Ehmm. The "ac3-fix" branch is in the vdr-plugin, ... I guess the problem is located in the vdr-plugin, not the kodi addon.

with "-b ac3-fix" same problem, + cache... plugin log: http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=1SWwjFFh kodi log: http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=Umwfa05D

Thanks.

It seems these channels announce the audiotracks as AC3 in the PAT/PMT and transmit EAC-3 audio data. This means I have to re-add the ugly hack to handle these situations. I splitted AC3/EAC3 handling some time ago. Ok. At least I know about the problem now, ...

[zz64]

I forgot to tell you that I am currently in vdr 2.2.0, do you think it's because of that? believe me I not had this problem with my old settings (xbmc13.x and old xvdr) with same channels... is compatibility from vdr 2.2.0 with "helix xvdr" related ? Thanks.

[pipelka]

Hmm. Don't know. I still have to update to vdr 2.2. Will check, ...

[pipelka]

Please repull the "ac-3" branch. Maybe you may find some differences in behaviour.

[pipelka]

Please recheck with the "ac3-fix" branch. It should work.
