@nobody9,

I was busy with PC problems, now I'm back. I see a great great progress here , again !!! Thanks for all this good job.

I've a Mac mini as an HTPC with Intel HD graphic card, so unfortunately I cannot benefit from the vdpau Is there any news on implementing a graphic card independent solution ?

regards...

Decoding an MPEG2 stream (SD channel) using CPU is a medium intensive task.
But decoding an MPEG4/H264 stream (HD channel) using CPU is a very high intensive task.

Without VDPAU (which use Nivida GPU as hardware coprocessor for decoding video stream) probably there is some problem about CPU performance ?
I've no feedback about decoding a full-HD MPEG4 video stream using only CPU .... but I'm interesting to know something about this ...

@buyukbang,

you can try it video and audio works, only the osd was the problem. you can switch the channels over the webinterface.
The last days i had investigated my time to make the Video playing with xine-lib stabler.
I hope we found some one or more they have more skills with xine-lib then i have.

@if99nrg:
I still dont have it working. I manage to get a connection between DM500HD and Ubuntu 11.10, but no picture yet.
It will be nice to have a tutorial on how to make vtuner work. If I manage to make it work, I will try to produce one on a different thread in end-user support to avoid cluttering this thread/section.
Making vtuner work is quite convoluted and the documentation exists in several places for the different bits.

Added to build_openpliPC.sh backup/restore E2 config command-line options:

From README

3) Build Xine-lib and openpliPC Enigma2:
It compile and install xine-lib and the openpliPC Enigma2.
xine-lib and enigma2 are included in openpliPC main repo and code
is already patched ready to compile.
Some tasks require root access (sudo). You will be asked for your password.

./build_openpliPC.sh
If you are interested to have a logfile , simply do:
./build_openpliPC.sh.sh 2>&1 | tee build_log.log

./build_openpliPC.sh has two command-line options:
./build_openpliPC.sh -b backup E2 config before new E2 build&install
./build_openpliPC.sh -r restore E2 config after new E2 build&install (previously saved with -b )
./build_openpliPC.sh -b -r backup config, build&install E2, restore old config

@ambrosa,

I know that graphic accerelator and a picture buffer is needed for viewing HD, but I have a Intel HD Current Intel , nvidia and ATi cards have a way much more horse power to just support HD channels.The problem here is the current vdpau solution, which is developed by cougar, is a nvidia depended technology. But there are other generic graphic accerelating technologies like dxva and opengl available for linux. For example, mythtv support all these technologies, vdpau, opengl, ... It's user selectable in options.

I think codec support will not be a problem, since most of the current CPU's could easily handle that withput graphic card accerelation. So I think we only need a buffering / graphic accerelation.

The only problem here, as nobdy9 said, is the experinece and know how on them

The dreambox is connected to a diseq switch with 4 satellites. The above looks like it is trying to switch the switch and tune the channel. Am I missing something?

@shumifan50,

do you have a Ubuntu 64 or 32 bit and which kernel so i can build you the lastest version from the drivers and apps. the compiled version on google don´t work so good.

@buyukbang,
the xinlib have some cards support build in, so you can try them by changing the file
enigma2/lib/gdi/xineLib.cpp and recompile enigma2. at the moment it is set to auto.

i only test with xshm and their i have the prob that i don´t get any osd. audio and video works fine.

@shumifan50,
attached the vtuner apps for mipsel,i686 and x86_64

a short doku:

on the server copy the file vtunerd.mipsel to /usr/bin
and start i over telnet with /usr/bin/vtunerd.mipsel

for the client you must compile and load the vtunerc kernelmodule
see doku:

http://wiki.nessiedv...install_vtunerc

Then you can start the vtunerc client on the client box
change to the path where you copyed the vtunerc binary

start the client for DVB-S2
./vtunerc.xxx -f s2:1 2>&1 >> /var/log/vtunerc.log &
for DVB-S
./vtunerc.xxx -f s1:1 2>&1 >> /var/log/vtunerc.log &

xxx can be i686 or x86_64

i hope that helps you

Hi. Who can watch Russians packets "NTV+" and "Tricolor TV" (at 36.0E)?
Switching mpeg4-hd channels (provider NTV +) immediatly occurs crash enigma2 and the mpeg4-sd channels (Tricolor TV) work badly. We observe periodic video and audio disruptions.

At least in the version by cougar_enigma the mpeg4-hd channels NTV+ worked fine.

I tried today newest git and the problem is the same - on channels HD from Cyfrowy Polsat provider doesn't works...
I found on other forum that this is xine-lib issue because coguar_enigma cmpilation have this same issue with new xine-lib with older works...


 e2_new.zip   11.45K   42 downloads Started on polonia channel, next polsat hd (not works) and back to polsat (sd) works


What with lirc support? It is commited to your Enigma? It would be very useful

@Seal,

[...]

2) please test with the todays git.

@Seal,
the lirc support are not commited you can add the patch switch to the enigma2 source directory
cd openpliPC/enigma2
patch -p1 < ../patches/enigma2_add_lirc_support.patch
make
sudo make install

what with lirc support? It is commited to your Enigma? It would be very useful

can you upload anyweare some minutes of ts stream. that i can test.

i send you to private mesg the link to the test stream (one minute).
second thing is that keyboard dont works alphanumeric - i cannot in setup inser text or recordings when i type text on screen see nothing

If you have problem with mouse coursor you can use app named 'unclutter' which hides cursor

This can be added to readme

at the moment only sms style works.

second thing is that keyboard dont works alphanumeric - i cannot in setup inser text or recordings when i type text on screen see nothing

@1455
the first link is a example of German Sky sports ?
German Sky provider works in HD without any problemms here.

The other TS-File i´m downloading at the moment.
