[xine-devel] get buffer status

[Julian S. <ju...@ju...>]

Hi all,

I wrote a little DVB-viewer, which uses xine-lib for the playback. The 
recorder creates a FIFO to which it writes the data from the recorder in 
MPEG2-TS, dropping all packets that don't belong to the viewed stream.
I set metronom-prebuffer to 115000 which works pretty well. But there is one 
problem:
After sometime of playback (sometimes a few hours, sometimes more than a day) 
the picture just freezes - but the recorder still writes data to the FIFO. 
When the channel is changed then, everything works fine.
I thought this may be because of a buffer underrun at either the metronom or 
the usual a/v-buffer.
To verify this I'd like to check the filling-state of the buffers 
occasionally, but I couldn't find a way to do so. Has someone any ideas about 
that?
