XBMC pvr client on RPI - sound but no video - cliverlong - 2014-05-11 Raspberry Pi: ARMv6 rev 7 Hardware: BCM2708 Revsion 004 Xbian. 1.0Beta2 (seems more stable than RASPBMC which crashed or froze daily) XBMC 12.2 Compiled Oct 2 2013 XBMC MediaPortal PVR Client Addon: 1.6.10 Tried Settings > Playback . Tried ffmpeg and TSReader RTSP Streaming on and off Windows 8.1 64bit running MediaPortal: 1.7.1 Hotfix Freecom USB DVB-T stick (non-HD) Hi, I am trying to run MediaPortal on a Windows 8.1 machine and XMBC as front end on Raspberry PI I can see video and hear audio of Live Tv through the MediaPortal client on the Windows server. I can record and playback TV programs on the Windows machine (server) using the MP front end I have installed and configured the various elements on XBMC ( raspberry PI) and media portal (win 8) to connect MP and XBMC. I can see the EPG on XBMC and select any program. A few seconds of buffering then I hear the program on the XBMC client. However, I do not see any video. I can change channels on the XBMC Client but always sound but no video. Thanks in advance for any help.

RE: XBMC pvr client on RPI - sound but no video - cliverlong - 2014-05-11 Ok, I have just put an order in for the MPEG-2 licence key and will update this thread when installed and tried out. Regards, Clive RE: XBMC pvr client on RPI - sound but no video - cliverlong - 2014-05-11 Yes, the MPEG-2 licence works. Thanks. When an SD TV signal is displayed on a 32-inch screen, even with de-interlace set to "BEST" the interlace on the image varies between minor to quite disturbing. I guess if I want to persist with this I need to buy a DVB-T HD USB device. I hope that with reduce / eliminate the interlace. Regards, Clive RE: XBMC pvr client on RPI - sound but no video - popcornmix - 2014-05-11 SD deinterlace quality should be very good (the algorithm is similar to yadif). Are you seeing a difference when enabled and disabled? RE: XBMC pvr client on RPI - sound but no video - cliverlong - 2014-05-11 There is a slight improvement when deinterlaced is enabled (I tried BOB and weave as well) on the MEdiaPortal server running on Windows 8.1. When I see the TV through an XBMC cleint "window", so the EPG is visible on the left, the smaller image has no visible interlacing. When I expand the TV image to full screen on XBMC then , depending on the content (for some reason !), the interlacing ranges from the barely noticeable to the quite bad. I haven't detected a pattern to this yet as I have loaded the XBMC MPEG-2 licence only in the past few hours to get the TV signal displaying through XBMC. |
