What I am going to do in order to try and resolve this ssue, is downgrade the libdvbpsi library.
You indicate that your playback problems are with digital video streams. When I went from vlc-2.0.8 to vlc-2.1.0 I also upgraded the libdvbpsi library from 0.2.2 to 1.1.0. I noticed that the VideoLAN team still uses the older 0.2.2 library to build their Windows version of the VLC player. Also the release notes state that the API for 1.x has changed with regard to the old 0.2.2. Perhaps this is the root cause. Once I have a package I'll upload it for testing. Perhaps it will even coincide with the vlc-2.l.3 release in which case I'll just stick libdvbpsi-0.2.2 in. Eric |

I tried downgrading the ffmpeg 2.1 in vlc-2.1.2 to ffmpeg 1.2 (23ee00 March 8, 2013) and it made no difference. I also tried dynamically using an external ffmpeg 1.2 (23ee00 March 8, 2013) and that made no difference. While using the dynamic ffmpeg (FFMPEG_STATIC="NO") I deleted the ffmpeg external package and that made no difference. So I suspect that ffmpeg is not being used. |
In my VLC package, FFMPEG is a crucial component. Most of the decoding and encoding is done by the package's internal ffmpeg libraries. My VLC package does however not use the dynamic libraries of any ffmpeg package which might also be installed on your computer. However there's some A/V formats and ways of accessing data streams which do not depend on the ffmpeg libraries, some of those are a52dec (AC/3 audio), faad (AAC audio), libdvbpsi (digital video stream access), x264 (H.264/MP4 video) etc.
What version of Slackware and what architecture should I create a test VLC package for? I have a working build now, with libdvbpsi downgraded to 0.2.2 and the newest ffmpeg (and libdvdread, libdvdnav) which are also used by the VideoLAN developers for the upcoming VLC 2.1.3 release. Eric |

Both have Radeon graphics chips. Both work fine with vlc-2.0.9 on all channels and fail to work with vlc-2.1.2 on several channels. |
OK, try this one and report your findings please: http://www.slackware.com/~alien/vlc21/x86_64/
Compiled on Slackware64 14.1. Eric Edit: No idea why only the .txt file shows up in the browser here, but the direct link to http://www.slackware.com/~alien/vlc2..._64-4alien.txz works. |

One detail I notice with 2.1.2: 1) The "Audio"->"Audio Device" panel is missing the "Default" that shows up in 2.0.8 So 2.0.8 has 11 choices and 2.1.2 has 10 choices Again if I select "Audio"->"Audio Device"->"Discard all samples..." then the stuttering stops and the video is very clear. It looks like an audio issue to me. For now I'm happy with 2.0.8 and 2.0.9. |
I advise you to run a vlc session with "vlc -vvv" and capture the output, then create a new bug ticket in VidaoLAN's bug tracker.

hdhomerun_config_gui/src/Viewer.cpp: Richard |

The program Hdhomerun runs the vlc command and tells the hdhomerun device to stream its video. (It streams over ethernet). hdhomerun calls vlc from within its own programming - so the program itself needs to be adjusted. You don't just open up vlc and connect to it.
|
I've found something - I'm using hdhomerun and vlc in combo as well. If I disable the sound, the visual does not stutter - if I make the audio output 2 channel stereo instead of the 5.1 it seems to remove the stutter - does this happen for you as well?

Like you if I disable the sound the stuttering stops and now if I set the sound device to the front speakers, then the stuttering stops too. (Even though I have no front speakers plugged in.) I found a way to test without using the hdhomerun_config_gui by using the older hdhomerun_config program in the libhdhomerun/ directory. Here is a script that works for a single channel 44-3: Code:
#!/bin/sh Documentation for hdhomerun_config can be found here: http://www.silicondust.co http://www...evelopment.pdf |
There's apparently two forms of multichannel audio: Dolby Digital (also called AC3, supported by liba52 in VLC) and DTS Coherent Acoustics (supported by libdca).
I noticed that the MS Windows build of VLC has the following parameter to the internal FFMPEG library avcocec: "--disable-decoder=dca". Apparently ffmpeg is not used then to decode DTS audio, the libdca library is instead linked directly into VLC. The difference with my build is that I do not disable the DTS decoder in my ffmprg libraries, and it is linked into VLC itself as well. Perhaps there is some kind of interference between ffmpeg's DTS decoding capability and the one VLC supports directly? I can try a build this weekend with "--disable-decoder=dca" added to ffmpeg.

Regarding VLC & ffmpeg
Does VLC use a compiled-in ffmpeg library to decode? Does it only need ffmpeg during compilation? I use ffmpeg on my system, would this be interfering with the VLC in any way (in the current way it is compiled)? |
