Re: Pass Through audio device problems

OK, finally I found it:

in /etc/asound.conf defaults.pcm.device was set to 1, here 0 is correct. Now the sound works but when I replay AC-3 data first some trash is replayed, means for the first 200-300 milliseconds I have an ugly, scatching noise. Is there a way to avoid that? I think it is not a problem of the decoder/amplifier, with other hardware it never showed such problems.

Configuration options on command line not working?

2008-11-17T12:49:02Z

Hi,

According to:
http://xinehq.de/index.php/readme#2.4.5
you can pass config-file options to xine by command-line parameters.

So I am trying to do this:
xine -phq "opt:audio.output.speaker_arrangement=Pass Through"
dvd:/srv/DVD/Ripped_DVD1/

However, when I try this on xine, with either v0.99.4 or 0.99.5, I get:

---------------------- (ERROR) ----------------------
The specified file or mrl is not found. Please check it twice.
(opt:audio.output.speaker_arrangement=Pass Through)
------------------ (END OF ERROR) -------------------

---------------------- (ERROR) ----------------------
got XINE_ERROR_NO_INPUT_PLUGIN.
------------------ (END OF ERROR) -------------------

---------------------- (ERROR) ----------------------
- xine engine error -

There is no input plugin available to handle
'opt:audio.output.speaker_arrangement=Pass Through'.
Maybe MRL syntax is wrong or file/stream source doesn't exist.
------------------ (END OF ERROR) -------------------

Thanks in advance,
John Karp

Yes, I use ALSA and I already have checked out these links but with no success.

Here are the hardware information:

VIA Eden Processor 1200MHz

VIA8237 - VIA 8237
VIA 8237 with VIA1617A at 0xf000, irq 11

CN700 Chipset

Also the BUG-REPORT.txt doesn't contains more info than "Audio device not available" when replaing DVDs, replaying of normal MP3s works fine.

Re: Xine crashes when using option "gui.video_display" to show video on second display

For everyone also encountering this problem: after running into this
problem again I have spend a day to find out what the cause is. It is
actually quite simple: xine has to be instructed to use the "root"
window for the video output, which can be done using the "--root"
commandline option. Summarizing: using the "gui.video_display" option in
your configuration file (~/.xine/config) and the "--root" commandline
option I was finally able to have the Xine controls on my LCD monitor
and the video display on my LCD television (of course, with two seperate
instances of X running).

Keep up the good work!

Hi Christopher!
Yes, there is a big difference visible now. The video plays smoothly for
about the time it was playing without the patch, then it fully stops and
rebuffering occurs (the percentage indicated is sometimes going from about 10%,
sometimes from 50%, but maybe it is because it buffers quickly and the initial
value is not shown). When the buffering is finished, it plays smoothly again
for approximately the same period (it depends on the actual bitrate, it occurs
more frequently, when there are big changes on the screeen), and then the cycle
repeats. So it looks like that the player is getting the stream data slower
than necessary, so the buffer gets empty and it's necessary to refill it. Maybe
the card is not able to supply the data quickly enough ? It's the internal PCI
card, not an USB one, and I even tried to fiddle with PCI latency timer for it,
but it didn't show any difference. Also the captured streams seem to be
complete, which would not be possible in such a case. Or I have another idea,
it looks to me as if the player would play the stream a bit faster than it's
actually transmitted, so it consumes the data sooner and the buffer underruns.
It's also necessary to say, that we have two DVB-T HD test broadcasts here in
the Czech Republic, and just one of them is doing this, the second one is
played well all the time, but it may be because of the higher bitrate of the
first one.
I will cancel this patch again, because it didn't repair the problem fully,
it causes slowdown of the channel zapping and generally it will not be included
in the kaffeine sources I think.
With regards, Pavel Troller

Hi,

Assuming that you are using alsa, it could be useful to have a look at
these links:
http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php/DigitalOut
http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php/TroubleShooting

If that doesn't help you find a solution, please come back, but with
additional information like which Via board you have, which soundcard
does the board have, what distribution do you use (kernel version,
drivers used etc) and so on.

Pass Through audio device problems

2008-11-02T23:10:45Z

Hi,

I use a Via board with an S/PDIF out that works well in stereo mode. To have the AC-3 data of a DVD forwarded to my external AC-3 decoder I use the Pass Through option in xine.

Unfortunately this doesn't works: when this option is turned on xine gives me an error about a used / not available audio device, when I switch that value back everything works well.

Thats true only when I try to replay DVDs, normal stereo MP3s work wel lalso when this option is enabled.

So my question is: what could be the reason for that, which device could be not available here exactly?

Kind regards

Michael

Hm, strange.

A last try:

edit kaffeine/src/player-parts/xine-part/kxinewidget.cpp
in function KXineWidget::setDvb replace
m_trackURL = pipeName;
with
m_trackURL = "fifo://"+pipeName;

Zapping will be slower however.

Hi Christopher!

Many thanks for your help! I tested your patch. I'm afraid that the problem
is somewhere else, it didn't help.
I even decreased WBUFSIZE to 50 and it behaved again as usual. I've modified
your patch to print WDIST everytime it goes around (commented out your "else")
and it showed that the values are very small: most of the time 1, sometimes
2 - 5, maximum I've ever seen was 19. There is no visible change in the
pattern, when the video starts to skip.
However, during my experiments, I'v noticed the following warning to be
printed, exactly once per one "video session":

kaffeine: KXineWidget: xine event: dropped frames
kaffeine: WARNING: KXineWidget: Skipped frames: 67 - discarded frames: 33

It was interesting that the message appeared shortly after the video became
to skip, but never appeared again during the same session. The numbers were
different every time, but their sum was always 100. When the timeshift mode
was activated immediately after startup, preventing the skips to appear, this
message didn't appear (and playback was smooth for at least 10 minutes).

Hm, interesting.
So it could be a ringbuffer issue.

Could you please try the following:

- Apply the joined patch to current kaffeine svn and make install
- Start kaffeine from a term, play live HD and look at the output for "WDIST =
XXX" msg.
- If you see this message (could repeat a lot), edit dvbout.cpp and change the
value of WDISTSIZE in: #define WDISTSIZE 100
Increase the value until you stop seeing the msg.

Lemme know if it fixes your problem.

P.S.
the ringbuffer size is: 188*64*WDISTSIZE bytes

Hi!
I've found that I can play HD streams forever with no skipping - it's just
enough to activate the time shift feature for a second or two, and it plays the
stream, buffered by the time shift file, perfectly. It's the definitive evidence
that this problem is not caused by lack of CPU power - in this mode, the system
is loaded more than when just playing from the DVB device, because it has to write
the time shift file and play it back simultaneously. The only thing I have to
remember, is to erase the time shift file manually (I didn't find an option in
kaffeine to erase it automatically).
I've tried to change number of video buffers and frames in the xine engine
settings, and it doesn't influence anything, the problem appears in approximately
the same time for 500 buffers as well as for 4000.
WIth regards, Pavel Troller

I'm afraid not. I've recorded about 5 minutes of the HD stream, which played
poorly from the air, but I've found that the recording plays smoothly all the
time, with no problems at all! So I'm not able to reproduce the problem from
a file, just direct playing from the DVB-T device is causing troubles, captured
file is good and can be played without problems.

A problem with H.264 video (DVB-T)

2008-10-31T21:22:55Z

Hi!
I have the following problem with playing H.264 (MPEG4) video from DVB-T
stream:
When the channel is tuned, the video is played perfectly, without any
problems. However, about 30 - 60 seconds later, the video starts to skip.
At first, it stops momentarily and then skips the missing frames for about
every 2 - 3 seconds, so it is very annoying (it still plays smoothly between
the skips, every skip takes about 200 ms). The skip intervals decrease by the
time, and of course also the difference between picture contents before and
after the skip. After about a minute, it skips very often with very short
skips, so it looks as a low framerate (about 10 fps). This is the final state,
it continues to play this way until the channel is re-tuned, which resumes
smooth playing for the next 30 - 60 seconds and then it repeats the whole
process.
The sound is played continuously, no skips, and it keeps approximately
in sync with the video.
This is not a CPU performance problem - CPU load doesn't hit 1.00 and it
is a dualcore machine, so there is a big reserve in the CPU power.
Using kaffeine as a frontend. Formerly used xine-lib-1.1.15 and ffmpeg svn
from the beginning of September, now tried with current hg snapshot of
xine-lib and svn snapshot of ffmpeg. Still the same. I've been also playing
extensively with various xine engine settings (quality of postprocessing,
deinterlacer type, codecs priority etc.), and it didn't influence anything,
the problem appears always in the same manner.
There isn't any debug/error output from xine-lib/ffmpeg.
Any help, what to fix ?
With regards, Pavel Troller

crash of vdr and xine-lib-1.2 with external ffmpeg

2008-10-31T13:55:19Z

Hi

I have debian + VDR 170 + xineliboutput plugin from cvs + xine-lib-1.2 from hg + ffmpeg from svn

I can see the Live dvb TV satellite channels 576i, 720p, 1080i without special problem. But if in VDR menu I will switch
from 720p channel to 1080i channel (and back) I will have segfault and crash.

In ffmpeg-user list Benjamin Larsson pointed out on xine-lib problem. Here's you can find gdb output during of crash

I have verified that even under X11 (no dxr3), xine does not display the
external subtitles on time. The first susbtitle appear ok, but the later
ones are shifted.

I have tested this on ubuntu 8.10 and Gentoo. Both versions show the
external subtitles delayed, while all other players (vlc, mplayer) show
them on time.

Unfortunately, I cannot find any references for such issues.
Any ideas?

Matthias, I don't completely follow what you meant here, but I
re-downloaded the .asx file, re text-opened, re-pasted in gxine, and
now it works. Is it what you suggested to do?
BTW mplayer didn't work for me, and now it works.
If is it so, that means that the bash script should maybe download
each time the asx file, in order to prevent this behaviour?
Well, what to say, thanks a lot, really.

It looks like the "auth=da_cVb3c3b3c..." part of the URL is a kind of
one-time-authentication code which you get with the asx file. If you
try the mms stream later, it will fail. So you always have to grab the
mms url again.

Hi Matthias,
I understand completely the issue with the asx redirection, in fact
one guy on the puppy linux forum just made a bash script to solve
this. My problem is that for strange reason, now I cannot listen
anymore the streaming (even if I manually find the correct asx
address).
But because this works in a random way, I was trying to understand what's wrong.
Thanks for your help.

hi Libero

the handling of asx/asf streams is nowhere near complete. mplayer can
handle at least one level of redirection, e.g. from the asx to the
actual mms stream.

I can listen to "radio 1" with this command (it worked 3 time in a
row..)
mplayer -playlist http://akastreaming.yle.fi/vp/fiyle/no_geo/live_i.asx

maybe this at least helps you to listen to music. the handling of asx
should be improved in all players actually.

cheers,
matthias

Hi Matthias,
Thanks for your answer.
here's the output from VLC:, maybe it's useful to you to know that
even in ubuntu, I had similar issues, sometimes it worked (after
installing I don't remember how many different things), but then, a

Hi Libero

can you try other players, esp. mplayer or vlc, to see if the problem
comes from the used libraries or from xine-lib.

random probelm with asx stream (yle.fi)

2008-10-22T01:44:36Z

Hi to all,
I'm new to this list. First of all, thanks to the developers for their
great job.
I'm using Puppy Linux 4.1 that uses gxine as default media player.
My problem is that I cannot listen regularly the net radio stream from
the finnish state broadcasting company (http://yle.fi).
I saved the asx file and opened with a text editor, and from there I
took the second link and pasted in xine. The problem is that sometimes
it works and sometimes it doesn't, but I cannot track really what the
problem is. Once it started not work after I ran gxine from the
command line, but then it started again after a reboot, and now it
doesn't anymore...

I ran gxine with the --verbose option and luckily I could save two
reports, one for the working situation, one for the not working one.
I didn't do anything particular, sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't.
It would be really nice to understand what's going wrong.

I'm using xine-lib-1.1.14, gxine 0.5.9-1 Puppy linux 4.1 with kernel 2.6.25.16
The link I'm referring to is: http://areena.yle.fi/mediasoitin/ylenklassinen/
and from this page, one can get this other link:
http://yle.fi/livestream/ylenklassinen.asx (not working), and, opening
this one with a text editor, the "(not)working" link is:
http://akastreaming.yle.fi/vp/fiyle/no_geo/live_m.asx

Thanks a lot for any help, it's really important for me to listen this
stream 'cause I'm not in Finland at the moment, so I can listen to it
only with net radio.

Best regards,

Libero Mureddu

You can not report a problem against distro packages when you compile your
own.

Opensuse suplies a correct xine, but "crippled" for legal reasons. Users
can either install the alternative xine RPMs from packman, or compile
their own.

You should probably also open a problem report against the Suse
packages. They should either offer the rpms in a working condition, or
not at all.

You need this: http://packman.links2linux.org/package/xine-lib

Missing includes when compiled xine-lib? Take a look into the configure
output, when there are a lot of missing entries, the plugins are not
build. In your case it seems everything is missing.

And why did you not installing the packages from Packman?
Got to http://packman.links2linux.de and take a look into the FAQ, it's
discribed how to include Packman into YaST, so you needn't worry about
the dependencies, just set xine-ui tu update.
But uninstall selve compiled versions before ("make uninstall" in the
source directories)

Problems with xine installation

2008-10-19T13:11:51Z

Dir Sir/Madam,

I am trying to install xine but I am not very succesful.
At the end I get an xine executable which gives a message:

----> xine engine error

-----> There is no demuxer plugin available .......

xine-check gives:

-----> No skin directory in ~Xine.install/share/skins

I use OPENSUSE 10.2 Linux, the xine versions I use
are xine-lib-1.1.5 and xine-ui-0.99.5

I installed xine-ui twice, but there is not any improvement

I hope you can give me a hint

Many thanks in advance

Kind regards,

Wim Eijsenga

dxr3 subtitles

2008-10-17T19:25:11Z

Hi,

I am trying to use .srt or .sub subtitles with xine and dxr3 (via fbxine).
It seems that xine displays them with totally wrong timing.

I also did a test: I created a sample .srt and .sub file (tried both
just in case), with a subtitle every 2 minutes.
Xine displayed the subtitles like this:

1. 00:00:00
2. 00:02:15
3. 00:05:45
4. 00:09:30
5. 00:13:30

The original subtitles file have them exactly 2 minutes between each
other. I verified that other media players show these subtitles right.
Unfortunately I don't have a X11 box handy to test xine on X11 (only on
dxr3 via fbxine).

Any ideas?

Costa

installing on Fedora Core 9 with vdr

2008-10-15T07:01:47Z

Hi,

I'm having a very frustrating time trying to install xine on FC9 with
vdr support. I thought that I could just do yum install... from livna.
No vdr support in their version.

So I slipped into my hg copy of xine-lib-1.2, updated and have since
been in dependency hell.

What is with vcd and faad? I have those installed for vlc.

Cheers

Tony

Xine crashes when using option "gui.video_display" to show video on second display

2008-10-09T15:51:47Z

Hi all,

I have configured a second X instance for my LCD television and was
expecting to be able to use the "gui.video_display" option to display
the Xine video window on the second display (:2) and the controls on my
primary display (:1). Although Xine attempts to start on both displays
and the video window is shortly (at most 0.5 seconds) visible on my LCD
television, Xine almost immediately exits with this error:
> X Error of failed request: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)
> Major opcode of failed request: 18 (X_ChangeProperty)
> Resource id in failed request: 0x38003cf
> Serial number of failed request: 171
> Current serial number in output stream: 173
I have tried using other video drivers, no difference. When not using
the "gui.video_display" option and simply setting "DISPLAY=:1" Xine
works fine on my television. Obviously, it also works when "DISPLAY=:0".

Does anyone have a suggestion how to get the Xine video window running
on :1 and the controls on :0? Thanks!

Problems with xine-lib 1.1.15

2008-09-30T23:31:36Z

libdvdread is 0.9.7, libdvdcss is 1.2.8, xine-ui 0.99.5.

When I try to play the dvd "On Her Majesty's Secret Service" (James Bond
Ultimate Edition), most of it plays; however, if I play the extras disk and
try to play anything from the "Radio Communication" section, Xine immediately
stops with the error:

libdvdread: Can't seek to block 3735883
libdvdread: Invalid IFO for title 10 (VTS_10_0.IFO).

I've had similar problems in the past trying to play other audio-only
parts of DVDs.
