DVB-T regression in 2.0.2 and 2.0.3

Postby sluke » 14 Oct 2012 15:54

Hi,

Since the 2.0.2 version, it's impossible to watch TV with a DVB-T Card.
Video and sound freeze each second (for HD and non HD channels). See logs of 2.0.3 version :

Code: Select all

main warning: computed PTS is out of range (83891), clearing out main warning: computed PTS is out of range (92372), clearing out main warning: PTS is out of range (92372), dropping buffer main warning: computed PTS is out of range (93188), clearing out main warning: computed PTS is out of range (131171), clearing out main warning: computed PTS is out of range (143755), clearing out main warning: computed PTS is out of range (155246), clearing out main warning: PTS is out of range (155246), dropping buffer main warning: computed PTS is out of range (156066), clearing out main warning: computed PTS is out of range (193474), clearing out main warning: audio output out of sync, adjusting dates (-48151 us) main warning: computed PTS is out of range (214293), clearing out main warning: not synchronized (-48150 us), resampling main warning: buffer too early (-48150), down-sampling main warning: computed PTS is out of range (277107), clearing out main warning: timing screwed, stopping resampling main warning: computed PTS is out of range (246127), clearing out main warning: computed PTS is out of range (287607), clearing out main warning: audio output out of sync, adjusting dates (-47718 us) main warning: computed PTS is out of range (315281), clearing out main warning: not synchronized (-47717 us), resampling main warning: buffer too early (-47717), down-sampling main warning: computed PTS is out of range (387606), clearing out main warning: timing screwed, stopping resampling main warning: audio output out of sync, adjusting dates (-49641 us) main warning: computed PTS is out of range (386372), clearing out main warning: not synchronized (-49640 us), resampling main warning: buffer too early (-49640), down-sampling main warning: computed PTS is out of range (472064), clearing out main warning: timing screwed, stopping resampling main warning: computed PTS is out of range (456215), clearing out main warning: PTS is out of range (456215), dropping buffer main warning: computed PTS is out of range (457079), clearing out main error: ES_OUT_SET_(GROUP_)PCR is called too late (pts_delay increased to 1149 ms) main error: ES_OUT_RESET_PCR called main warning: computed PTS is out of range (510361), clearing out main warning: PTS is out of range (-24559), dropping buffer main warning: buffer way too early (-728014), clearing queue main warning: buffer way too early (-548385), clearing queue main warning: buffer way too early (-574288), clearing queue main warning: buffer way too early (-574503), clearing queue main warning: buffer way too early (-573778), clearing queue main warning: buffer way too early (-543360), clearing queue main warning: buffer way too early (-567982), clearing queue main warning: buffer way too early (-570645), clearing queue main warning: buffer way too early (-544189), clearing queue main warning: buffer way too early (-561609), clearing queue main warning: buffer way too early (-564744), clearing queue
Each freeze shows warning messages and the error messages (ES_OUT*) appear during a big freeze (> 5 sec)

I think it's a regression. Can I hope a fix in 2.0.4 version ?

Just tried 2.0.4 and get the same "stuttering".

Latest version I can use to watch DVB-T in the UK is 1.1.9

Nobody volunteered to update the Windows BDA support since VLC version 2.0.3. So 2.0.4 is identically broken, and so will 2.0.5 be if nobody takes the ball soon.

Sorry for being late (Now, I activated notification when reply is posted)

My card is "Hauppauge WinTV NOVA TD 500". I live in France.

This problem is already present in 2.0.4 and 2.0.5. I don't have this problem under linux...

I have the same problem as you.
Windows vista 64b.

I had VLC version 2.0.1 and it worked fine on my Hauppauge HVR-4000 internal PCI (DVB-T, DVB-S, DVB-S2)

I upgraded to 2.05 and it's impossible to watch anything in good conditions.
Picture and sound freezes every 1-2 seconds.
I've tried 2.04, 2.03, 2.02, and none of them work correctly.

I've gone back to 2.0.1 and it works fine again.

I tested this nightly build :
http://nightlies.videolan.org/build/win ... 2-win32.7z
=> It works

This this one :
http://nightlies.videolan.org/build/win ... 2-win32.7z
=> It doesn't work

If I replace the plugins\access\libdtv_plugin.dll file from vlc-2.0.0-20120326-0205 build to vlc-2.0.0-20120402-0646 build
=> vlc-2.0.0-20120402-0646 build works


Questions :

- What branch of git repository is used for nightlies build ?

- What source files relative to libdtv_plugin.dll ?

- I built vlc from source but It crashes when I play any file :

Code: Select all

and yet I enabled debug in compilation (--enable-debug) :

Code: Select all

git clone git://git.videolan.org/vlc/vlc-2.0.git cd vlc git checkout 2.0.1 mkdir -p contrib/win32 cd contrib/win32 ../bootstrap --host=i586-mingw32msvc make prebuilt cd .. ln -sf i586-mingw32msvc i686-w64-mingw32 cd .. ./bootstrap mkdir win32 && cd win32 ../configure --host=i686-w64-mingw32 --enable-debug --enable-static rm ../contrib/i586-mingw32msvc/include/strmif.h ../contrib/i586-mingw32msvc/include/uuids.h make make package-win32-7zip
I replaced the plugins\gui\libqt4_plugin.dll file by the 2.0.1 official release libqt4_plugin.dll :
=> audio files works but no video files :

Code: Select all

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. [Switching to Thread 4084.0x1014] 0x00000000 in ?? () (gdb) bt full #0 0x00000000 in ?? () No symbol table info available. #1 0x00000000 in ?? () No symbol table info available. (gdb)

OK. Just one modification on this module during this period :

What do you think about this modification ?

DVB regression from 2.0.2

Postby Ludrax » 22 Feb 2013 03:06

which part is relevant then?
I don't think the guy that last changed the DVB-T plugin is reading this forum though.
Since the 2.0.2 version, it's impossible to watch TV with a DVB-T Card.
I think it's not only T problem...
An' if ain't broke, then don't try to fix it...

VLC has a single plugin for all digital TV tuning, not just DVB-T.

This is the difference between 2.0.1 and 2.0.2 on Windows:

that file won't help in vlc-2.1.0-git, there is no more digital in capture menu with replaced file :?

Has anyone raised this officially as a serious bug, in such as way that it will actually get looked at and fixed? That would get round the problem of "I don't think the guy that last changed the DVB-T plugin is reading this forum though".

There are several bugs explicitly about BDA breaking in 2.0.2:
- https://trac.videolan.org/vlc/ticket/7046
- https://trac.videolan.org/vlc/ticket/7366
- https://trac.videolan.org/vlc/ticket/9869
- and possibly others I missed.

Take your pick.
