Bug#551143: vdr-plugin-xineliboutput: playback freezes irregularly

[Stefan Lippers-Hollmann]

Package: libxine1-xvdr 
Version: 1.0.4+cvs20091004.1123-1
Severity: normal

Hi

After upgrading libxine1-xvdr to 1.0.4+cvs20091004.1123-1, accessing a 
budget card with VDR through several different frontends (vdr-sxfe, 
kaffeine and using udp or tcp) results in the A/V stream freezing for ~2 
seconds in irregular intervalls (somewhere between 30 seconds and 2 
minutes) on a pretty idle system and with xv capable graphics drivers
(radeon/ r300 and intel). This is a new regression in 
1.0.4+cvs20091004.1123-1 and 1.0.4-1 was not affected. 

Looking at the upstream CVS, r1286 of xine_input_vdr.c[1] stands out and 
using a fresh (20091013.2051) CVS checkout indeed reliably fixes the 
problem for me.

Regards
	Stefan Lippers-Hollmann

	Fixed buffering problems caused by revision 1.279:
	New algorithm for live mode sync of xineliboutput providing much smoother 
	buffer control.
	- By default use the original tuning code
	- Smooth SCR tuning can be enabled in config_xineliboutput,
