[mythtvnz] Nova-T 500 working with Freeview HD

[Aaron Drysdale]

I downloaded this file and played in mplayer using command line posted, and it played fine (apart from all the errors reported in the terminal window). Then played it in Mythtv and definately saw the blockiness as the two people are walking from the right of the screen to the left about 8 seconds into the clip. Its over very quickly because its a short clip, but its the same as I see on live tv regularly on TV1.

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?

Hi

2009/5/24 Aaron Drysdale <Aaron.Drysdale at provencocadmus.com>:
> I tried playing an HD clip from TV1 in mplayer - its a clip from the tennis this morning that was full of blockiness - and it played fine. The audio quickly got out of sync, but the video was much better and didn't show any blockiness. I've got JYA's mplayer as well - how do I ensure its using VDPAU?

Either specify it on the command line
or in ~/.mplayer/config have something like:
# Default to VDPAU output and codecs
vo=vdpau,xv,
vc=ffh264vdpau,ffmpeg12vdpau,ffwmv3vdpau,ffvc1vdpau,


The trailing comma is important as it tells mplayer to continue
searching for a decoder if the one specified do not work.

On my machine, mplayer with vdpau doesn't like the file posted
earlier.. it takes a while to start with hundred of errors.

I do see a bit of "blockiness" when Kim Clijsters walks up the net,
it's quite faint. Is that what you're referring to ?

VDPAU only supports h264 level up to 4.1... if using a more advanced
level, it may not work...
