Hi,
I've recorded MPEG2 stream from IPTV under mythtv. I've made symlink with show title also to Video library, so I can see it in Video repository.
Now if I play this recording from inside Mythtv, it plays much more smoothly and acceptable. If I play it via LMCE and Xine player I see deinterlacing artifacts and picture is stopping for short moments....
I guess this is the difference in settings. It seems Xine has Deinterlacing Mode setting, but cannot find how to use it ?
Has anyone else spotted this Xine behavour and what are my options to solve it ?
Thanks in advance,
regards,
Bulek.
Try
/etc/pluto/xine.conf
With VDR integration using the xineliboutput plugin the config looks like this for the most common deinterlace. I note that with VDR I had jerkiness and artifacts using this config, but when I switched the "cheap_mode" to =0 oth got much better. You should be able to adapt this config as they are standard parameters.
xineliboutput.Video.Deinterlace = tvtime
xineliboutput.Video.DeinterlaceOptions = method=Linear,cheap_mode=1,pulldown=none,framerate_mode=full,judder_correction=1,use_progressive_frame_flag=1,chroma_filter=0,enabled=1
There should be no need to manually create symlinks anywhere ever. Let Myth and LMCE do their thing without mucking with it under the covers. On a properly setup system all the MythTV recordings will show up in the LMCE Videos with proper titles without intervention.
As to xine playback, there is a known bug that affects at least some of us including me. After a while Xine_Player video playback can get choppy/jumpy. This may be what you are seeing. For now the easy work around is to do a quick router reload. Next time you are seeing choppy video do a quick reload and see if it goes away. Beyond that my recorded TV shows play the same from LMCE and from within Myth.

We suspect there to be a small memory leak in Xine_Player but haven't gotten really around to looking into the issue, reloading the router restarts it fresh again.
