First release-candidate for 0.17.2 -- please test!

[Nicolas Boullis]

Hi,

Linux kernel 2.6.27 was released yesterday, and as with most linux
kernel releases nowadays, it breaks the API.
Hance, I just packed the first release candidate for 0.17.2. There isn't
much news in this release, except the support for linux 2.6.27, and much
cleanup by Christian Gmeiner.
As usual you can get it from
  http://dxr3.sourceforge.net/download/em8300-0.17.2-rc1.tar.gz

Many thanks to Christian Gmeiner who did most the work.

All comments are welcome. Please give it a try and report.


Cheers,

Nicolas

Hi Nicolas,

I installed it on a system with 3 dxr3 cards installed that plays videos
around the clock on them.
I experience some random video freezes. This "freezes" seem like very
slow motion, I have a chunk of sound every second, although video is
still. A freeze appears on one of the cards at a time, and so far I have
experienced it on two of the installed cards. In one case, the system
managed to recover from the freeze by itself after some time (I don't
know exactly how much, but should be several minutes).

Kernel is 2.6.24-gentoo-r4
Playback is handled by player.
All videos are MPEG2 encoded with mencoder.

mplayer options are like this: mplayer -ao oss:/dev/em8300_ma-0 -vo
dxr3:noprebuf:sync:norm=0:0 -framedrop -autosync 30 -cache 16384 movie.mpg
I have not enabled prebuf because it creates choppy video and randomly
makes mplayer use 100% of cpu for each video.

I had no such issues with the previous version of the em8300 installed,
although I didn't use "sync" in mplayer with it. I had to enable it with
this version though, since I had choppy video without it.

It would be helpful to have the kernel modules print the card identifier
with its kernel logs.
Now I have logs like this:

[54555.962317] adjusting scr: 179999
[54558.887055] adjusting scr: 307800
[54558.927221] adjusting scr: 179635034

[55761.820865] adjusting scr: 53758833
[55761.826320] adjusting scr: 53766040

However, I cannot figure out if something is relevant to the frozen card.

I had another freeze now. There is a pair of these logs every second
during the freeze:

[57195.018933] em8300_video.c: Video Fifo timeout
[57195.018974] adjusting scr: 289899009

When these are printed I get a chunk of sound.
mplayer does not complain about anything.

I also found that these freezes are frequent enough. Several movies with
2 hours duration, now get 3 to 4 hours to be completed. This means that
the system recovers, but there are long freezes in between.

In the past I had instant "video resets" (video stuck for a second, a
green screen flash, video continues). I also have such issues now, but I
suspect that a few of them may have the new effect of "slow motion".

Hi again,

I tested xine, and it seems to work fine, so my problems must be
relative to mplayer's dxr3 implementation.

With xine, video playback is very smooth and my kernel logs are silent.
It seems there is an occasional issue with A/V sync (audio max 1 sec
before video), but somehow xine manages to recover from this situation
after 1-2 minutes.

For the ones that may seek relative information:

I used fbxine, since I needed xine without a GUI.
The command line used is like this:

XINERC=/path/to/custom/xine.config fbxine --stdctl -A oss -V dxr3
/path/to/movie.mpg >/path/to/log 2>&1 </dev/ttyX

The xine.config file needs at least these options, to select the right
dxr3 card, for both video and audio:

---

video.driver:dxr3
audio.driver:oss

audio.device.oss_device_name:/dev/dsp
audio.device.oss_device_number:1
audio.device.oss_mixer_number:1

---

The last 2 options should be set to the card ID (1, 2, 3, etc). These
should be the same to the em8300 module option 'dsp_num'.

/dev/ttyX is given as input to fbxine, because:

1. If we don't redirect the input, fbxine will expect commands from it,
and as this is going to be the terminal, there will be issues.
2. If we don't give a tty (i.e. we do </dev/null), fbxine gets 100% of
the cpu

For X (in ttyX) I use 8,9,10.

The only 2 issues I have now,  are relative to xine usage/features:

a. With mplayer, I had the video channels resume at the position they
were playing, in case of a shutdown or restart (-ss argument to
mplayer). For the moment I cannot find how xine can start playback at a
given  position.

b. With mplayer, I had a small cron job per channel that was presenting
the filename and the % of movie played as OSD. This was very nice, since
the watcher could check if he has missed just a little of the movie, or
if he/she is going to watch just the end of it. Again, I cannot find a
way of doing it with xine (I guess I will have to create a subtitles.srt
file and feed it to xine, to show every a few minutes the position - but
that's a nasty hack).

Hmmm... all this sucks.
To the best of my knowledge, there should be no difference in the
behaviour of the driver between 0.17.1 and 0.17.2-rc1...

Are you sure you have some problems with 0.17.2-rc1 that you did not
have with 0.17.1? Can you try to rebuild 0.17.1 modules and check if the
difference persists?

If it persists, some (possibly boring) tests will be needed to find
which change actually broke something? Will you be willing to perform
such tests?

As for the logs, you are right, some indication should definitely be
added to know what card is concerned. But this will be for after 0.17.2.


Cheers,

Nicolas

Nicolas,

Thanks for replying and for the wonderful work you do, maintaining dxr3.

I was not using 1.17.1, so I cannot judge.
I switched to xine and most of my problems (kernel logs, a/v sync,
freezes) have gone.

It seems that mplayer support for dxr3 is totaly broken and to my
understanding dxr3 for mplayer is unmaintained.
In xine, my key problem is that subtitles rendering on dxr3 is broken:
subtitles timing seems to be off by more than 50% (a complete movie
shows less than 40% of its subtitles).

Well, this means that actually, dxr3 on linux does not have a single
media player that can show mpeg2 movies right! It would be super if you
guys could maintain the dxr3 plugins for the key linux media players.

Anyway, I'll be glad to help in any way I can.
Do you want me to do any tests?

Regards,

Costa

Unless I misunderstood something, mplayer used to work fine for you with
an older version of the em8300 modules; is that right? What version were
you using?

Such a regression is a bug and should be fixed. Hence, it would be nice
if you could give version 0.17.1 a try, and see if the same problem
occurs. And if it does, it would be nice if you could find the first
release that is broken. With that hint, I might be able to find the root
of the problem, or I will ask you for more tests...


As for the players, I used to be happy with xine, but haven't used it
for years. Nowadays, I only use vdr with its dxr3 plugin. As far as I am
concerned, my spare time hardly permits me to maintain the drivers, I
have no time to work on a player. There's a player that you did not
mentionned, and that you might want to try: dxr3player (see
http://dxr3player.sourceforge.net/ ); note that I haven't tried it.


Cheers,

Nicolas

OK. I'll try to find the version that broke things with mplayer. To
eliminate the need of going to older kernels I'll focus on the freezes
(mplayer had more "minor" issues with the em8300 modules I had, such as
a/v sync issues, choppy video playback from time to time, etc).

dxr3player is super, and at least from the few tests I made by far the
best (no playback issues at all), however it cannot play individual
video files, only whole dvds and only interactively (cannot be told to
bypass the menus and play directly a title).

Vdr has its own plug-in or it uses xine/mplayer to do the job? The only
thing I found when I was searching was something about an external
player (xine/mplayer) to handle the job, and therefore I abandoned the
idea and gone directly to xine/mplayer. Have I lost something?

Costa

Appears to work fine for me with Fedora 9's 2.6.26.6-79.fc9.i686.

That's nice.

Feel free to report even partial results. I'm especially eager to know
whether this is a regression between 0.17.1 and 0.17.2-rc1.

I'm glad to know. This may mean that this player should be improved to
support reading arbitrary files or parts of a DVD...

There is a dxr3 plugin for vdr: http://dxr3plugin.sourceforge.net/

I am also interested in regressions, as it are my fault.

For me this release works with mplayer and xine.

Sorry for asking, but I'd really like to know if this is a regression in
0.17.2-rc1, so I can release 0.17.2 as soon as possible. Linux 2.6.27
has been released for more than 3 weeks, and it's not supported yet by
the latest release of the em8300 drivers... :-(


Cheers,

Nicolas

For what it's worth, I just committed a change that adds the card
identifier to all kernel logs.
