Has ABSOLUTELY ANYONE (be it raspbmc, openelec, xbian you name it)
managed to watch live tv continuously on the Raspberry Pi for an hour or two without audio/video sync dropping?
Don't care if its tvheadend or vdr - ANYBODY?

Tested on Openelec, Rbej Frodo r14059 build (02/04/2013)

p.s. if anyone want to try it with Frodo

In Finland DVB-T TS-stream contains only mpeg2 encoded channels. Could this be the source for the auto-AR problem?

Could someone with a working system confirm the stream encoding, mpeg4 or mpeg2?

I'm now running official 3.02, all in one Pi.

First block give correct aspect ratio to player if it doens't provided by server.
Second request normalized stream from server. For 3.4 and high TVHeadEnd servers it's resolve blank screen problem if timeshift is not enabled on server.

P.S. I use paspbian distribution so I don't try to build openelec and test on it. But problem really not openelec specific.

I'll create pool request in two days. I want to try variants on RPi and x86 (may be need send zero then aspect ration is not known?)
