Problems with movie playback [Solved]

And since vlc or mpv don't use gstreamer, they should have been unaffected.

Yesterday I checked kodi only - as kodi is my preferred multimedia player

The amplifier link points to the same projector link but I get what you are doing.

Instead of connecting the computer to a monitor/television, your using a projector which is where you are experiencing the audio/video problems?

Have you tried connecting to a computer monitor to rule out issues with the computer and/or the software programs you are using?

Well I'm quite sure that the problem is caused by both enddevices being hdmi-splitter.
Using a simple monitor will rule out a possible source of problems and as that setup is nothing what I want - no choice.

I'm also sure, that dynamic sensing all over is the real source of trouble.
I prefer static setup, which I have to work out once and it keeps unchanged until changing hardware.
There are now so many (hidden) layers that setting it up is like writing a master's thesis

Hi,

I remember how movie players worked when graphics cards didn't have an audio processor:
The movie source was demuxed into video and audio. Both streams were processed in separate pipelines and synchronized at output.
The images were sent to the graphics card and the sound to the sound card.

With this knowledge, I wanted to set up the movie center, but I had to realize that graphics cards with audio processors had to be controlled differently.
I had tried to output the images to one port and the sound to another port, or to a different audio device.
But none of that worked.
Then I found out that audio can only be output together with video to an HDMI port.

This led me to the current setup, where both ports output the same thing.

However, I wonder how this works in software. The input processing in the movie player should work unchanged, only the output processing must be different now.
This means that the images and sound must be muxed into a single stream, which is then sent to the graphics card.

This leads me to the following questions:
- Who creates the muxed stream from the images and the sound?
- How are both streams synchronized?
- Who duplicates the stream to both ports?
- How is the output processing affected by the autosensing if both ports report different video- and audio-capabilities?

I suspect, that creating the final output stream is more time consuming than sending raw data to output devices, so that could be the cause of hiccups.

Hi,

let me ask you another question:
what do you think makes more sense with regard to the frequent hiccups?
- a new graphics card
or
- a faster processor?

Can you replicate this using the live ISO?

[django013]

Well, I tried it, but live ISO does not have nvidia driver and vlc crashes with nouveau driver.
As nvidia driver requires reboot, I guess its not possible to install at live ISO

Did you ever use the setup ap? If your receiver is networked the ap will tell the tsr-700 which ports to use.

[django013]

Hm, the TSR-700 works as expected.
My problem is, that linux does NOT work as expected

[siamhie]

The TSR-700 is capable of Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. Have you tried that route with the audio?

Thanks for the hint, but I don't know, how to get audio out to WI-FI- or Bluetooth-devices.
Afaik both are network-devices but no sound receivers

[davidy]

Sounds like a singular problem with the way the tsr is connected and not with the OS itself. If you introduce hardware into a computer system and they both work separately, it's the connections and not so much the software/OS's fault. If your run a cable from your pc to a specific port on your receiver it either is getting data or it's not.
"works as expected?" How's that? Did you use the ap?
