With the following: HVR4000 card S2API + multifrontend patch (hg clone http://linuxtv.org/hg/~stoth/s2-mfe) ffmpeg from SVN xine-lib from mercurial (compiled with --with-external-ffmpeg) Kaffeine from SVN + Christophe's S2API patch Scanning to find channels and tuning are working in Kaffeine for DVB-T, DV= B-S and DVB-S2. S/S2 tuning and scanning is with S2API. My CPU (3ghz core 2 quad) is fast enough to show live HD video so I can wat= ch HD channels live inside Kaffeine, or record to disk and watch afterwards. ASTRA HD+ and= ANIXE HD are good. ARTE HD throws some errors and stutters a bit. Simul HD can crash Kaf= feine. I enabled the two lines in dvbstream.cpp which set modulation to QPSK inste= ad of QAM_AUTO for DVB-S. Settings: number of xine threads >=3D 4, de-interlacing(CTRL-I) at minimum = (is it useful for HD ? I don't know). The load isn't always distributed well across the 4 cpus -- = it can max out one of them sometimes, with the others almost idle. Perhaps this can be improve= d. Regards, Hans -- = Release early, release often. Psssst! Schon vom neuen GMX MultiMessenger geh=F6rt?
