[mythtvnz] Nova-T 500 working with Freeview HD

[Aaron Drysdale]

If that is the cause, then why do you think we get more problems (in fact for me I would say "only problems") on TV1 and TV2? I get the same reception on all channels, so I would think they would all suffer from the same problems.
 
I really don't know what I am talking about :) but I thought it was more likely to be the way the h264 is encoded on these channels.
 
Anyway, another clip posted here:

Problems occur about 8 seconds in - only about 15 seconds duration all up. Was harder to get a short clip that exhibited the problem than I thought. Much easier to get a long clip with lots of occurences - but then of course a very large file size.

		If mplayer can play it fine, then I would assume it is something that can be addressed, and not because VDPAU can't handle it. Would you agree?
		


	Yes, I agree.
	
	I've reported the problem to Mark Kendall and will investigate further...
	
	It's hard to tell because there's no obvious errors in the log...
	
	Why is it that almost *all* of the problems people are seeing with

LoL...

Probably because we are one of the few places with broadcast H.264 video.

One of the issues VDPAU needs to deal with is the very small blips you get in broadcast video. Some of the STBs seem to deal with these quite well, and others have major picture issues. Appears that the MPlayer VDPAU implementation is that touch better at dealing with this small reception blips.
