* [linux-dvb] [HVR1300] issue with VLC @ 2008-05-23 15:06 Frederic CAND 2008-05-23 16:50 ` hermann pitton 0 siblings, 1 reply; 6+ messages in thread From: Frederic CAND @ 2008-05-23 15:06 UTC (permalink / raw) To: linux-dvb I post again cause I did not get any reply at my late mail : anybody encountering picture / sound issues with VLC after some time running (let's say half an hour) reading the MPEG PS output ? I tried many different v4l-dvb tarballs, including latest repository, but I could not make it work more that 30 minutes (or 20, it depends). Stopping VLC and restarting it "solves" this issue but I'm looking for someone who could confirm this behaviour, and then maybe fix this. My VLC works fine , btw , with other MPEG PS or TS live streaming.

VLC V4L1 implementation were broken. It first starts DMA and streaming, then, it calls some ioctls that changes the buffer size. The compat handler doesn't accept this behaviour, since it would cause buffer overflow. AFAIK, only bttv driver used to support this behaviour. On V4L1 mode, bttv were allocating enough memory for the maximum resolution. So, subsequent buffer changes works properly. It would be valuable if you could work on a safe way to implement backward compat for this broken behaviour. In this case, you would need to change the compat implementation at videobuf, and let v4l1-compat module to be aware that it is safe to allow buffer size changes. Yet, this seems to much work for something that should be already removed from kernel (V4L1). ------- You will meet some more people with HVR1300 cards posting also to the video4linux-list. Does it also happen with the mplayer v4l2 driver?

VLC does not send any ioctl to /dev/video0 (my HVR 1300). I do it myself. Let me copy/paste my code, maybe I'm missing something (which would make VLC go crazy after 30 minutes ... !?!) /* open devices */ fd1 = open("/dev/video0", 0_RDWR); fd2 = open("/dev/video1", 0_RDWR); /* prepare input/format */ int i = 1; int j = V4L2_STD_SECAM; ioctl(fd1, VIDIOC_S_INPUT, &i); ioctl(fd1, VIDIOC_S_STD, &j); struct v4l2_ext_controls mc; struct v4l2_ext_control ctrls[32]; /* mpeg settings */ mc.ctrl_class = V4L2_CTRL_CLASS_MPEG; mc.controls = ctrls; i = 0; mc.ctrl_class = V4L2_CTRL_CLASS_MPEG; ctrls[i].id = V4L2_CID_MPEG_VIDEO_BITRATE_MODE; ctrls[i++].value = V4L2_MPEG_VIDEO_BITRATE_MODE_CBR; ctrls[i].id = V4L2_CID_MPEG_AUDIO_ENCODING; ctrls[i++].value = V4L2_MPEG_AUDIO_ENCODING_LAYER_2; ctrls[i].id = V4L2_CID_MPEG_AUDIO_L2_BITRATE; ctrls[i++].value = V4L2_MPEG_AUDIO_L2_BITRATE_256K; ctrls[i].id = V4L2_CID_MPEG_VIDEO_BITRATE; ctrls[i++].value = 4096 * 1000; ctrls[i].id = V4L2_CID_MPEG_VIDEO_BITRATE_PEAK; ctrls[i++].value = 4096 * 1000; ctrls[i].id = V4L2_CID_MPEG_VIDEO_ASPECT; ctrls[i++].value = V4L2_MPEG_VIDEO_ASPECT_4x3; mc.count = i; ioctl(fd2, VIDIOC_S_EXT_CTRLS, &mc); of course I tried to remove different mpeg settings, but ... it's not chaning anything I tried old v4l-dvb snaphots, v4l included within kernel 2.6.22.19 but with no success ... 2.6.25.4 v4l drivers do not provide any MPEG PS at all, that is a read on /dev/video1 timeouts status is it's working for around 30 minutes then VLC prints error messages, sound / image become ugly and the only solution is to stop / restart the read of the MPEG PS ... anyone having the same behavior when reading PS with VLC for more than thirty minutes ? -- CAND Frederic Product Manager ANEVIA _______________________________________________ linux-dvb mailing list linux-dvb@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-dvb ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 6+ messages in thread
