I'm seeing glitches when playing back recordings (live TV seems pretty much 
OK). The dxr3plugin.log reports:

cDxr3AudioDecoder::Decode Found different audio header -> init
cDxr3AduioDecoder::Decode Old header 0xff new header 0x70a4fcff
cDxr3AudioDecoder::Decode Sample rate = 48000
cDxr3AudioDecoder::Decode channels = 2

when this happens (where the new header varies but ends in 4fcff). Bizarrely, 
I cannot hear an audio glitch but it is obvious in the video! Not sure if 
this is due to erros in the stream or what. The audio-video sync can drift 
quite drastically, too. From what I remember, this was during replay of 
recordings only. Sometimes, it doesn't seem to 'lock on' to the start of a 
recording, giving lots of glitches. Cured by jumping forward!

Maybe some of the problems are caused by the plugin grabbing all the CPU time!

What do the usleep statements do? I had a brief look at the code but couldn't 
work it out.

Recordings from radio channels, i.e. audio only, do not play back well: after 
a few secods playback, it starts breaking up and then goes silent until the 
watchdog timer expires. The same audio recordings play back perfectly with 
mpg123 or similar.

Keep at it!

;)

I'm using vdr-1.3.12 with dvb and em8300 drivers from CVS, and kernel 2.6.7.

Hope some of the above helps!

Cheers,
