[xine-devel] Problems with dvdnav and the current CVS version of xine.

[James Courtier-D. <Ja...@su...>]

Hello
The current version of xine totally fails to play some DVDs with dvdnav.

I think this is either caused by a bug in the sync code, or a buffer
problem.
Most likely a sync code problem.

I think we should take a approach below for the syncing using SCR to the
system clock.
Quote from H}kan Hjort [d95...@dt...]

As for the clock, we have several parallel clocks.. when a
discontinuity is detected a new clock id is attached to the buffers
from that point on.  The clock id is then handed to the function (for
you the metronome) that translates the PTSs to real time, this way
packets with both the old and the new clock id's can be processed and
even output at the same time.  For example the last few images that
still have time stamps interpolated from an old PTS stamp (the I
frames on most DVDs) might be displayed while the first samples of an
ac3 audio packet with a new PTS are output to the sound card.

Cheers
James
