Ticket #6367: DVD viewing skips during DVD access

#6367: DVD viewing skips during DVD access

As it says, I'm getting a very shot pause / skip that is noticable during
high motion only during the access of the DVD drive. If I rip the DVD and
then watch in mythvideo, I don't see this. Also, I don't see this in
mplayer (hence my thought that it might be myth). I see this in both .21
fixes as well as .22 (after the latest dvdread/dvdnav patches).

Increase the drive speed in the settings to max, iirc that's 12x. Does
that fix it?

Comment(by bhuffman [at] graze):

No - that does not fix it. In fact I don't think that the drive speed
adjustment is working at all. When I watch the pattern of the drive light
it doesn't change no matter whether the speed is set to 2 or 12. And
there's an extremely obvious difference between mplayer (much faster light
flickers) and mythtv.

Replying to [comment:4 bhuffman [at] graze]:

I do have the same problem! and this is MAJOR for me...
I've been waiting for a fix for weeks now (like 8 weeks or more).
I installe 0.22 to get the VDPAU, but I can't watch movies anymore! I need
to revert to 0.21 but all my database schema is already updated! too bad..

I certainly hope for a fix on this issue soon!

bhuffman, which version of trunk/fixes are you running? Skamithi committed
a speed setting fix a while ago that seemed likely to fix this issue too.

I'll test this as soon as I am able. Right now, the DVD that I initially
used to test won't play due to bug 6767 that I just posted. :-(

Comment(by alan [at] eng):

Hi,

Tested patch/change on top of 0.21+fixes-21006 (not trunk - downloaded
from Mythbuntu, hand typed changes) noted additional code not shown in
patch (see below) no idea if it is relevant

if (storedPackets.count() < 15 && !decodeStillFrame)
storevideoframes = true;

if (inDVDMenu && storedPackets.count() > 0)
ringBuffer->DVD()->SetRunSeekCellStart(false);
else if (inDVDStill)
ringBuffer->DVD()->RunSeekCellStart();
}
if (GetNVP()->AtNormalSpeed() &&
((cellChanged) || (lastdvdtitle != dvdtitle)))
{
if (dvdtitle != lastdvdtitle)
{
VERBOSE(VB_PLAYBACK, LOC + "DVD Title Changed");
lastdvdtitle = dvdtitle;

).

Patch makes no difference to Animusic 2, Wall-E or Gladiator - all are as
bad as ever with video stuttering. Now, after a period of stuttering the
audio warps and speeds up and the stuttering seems better, then the audio
settles back down and the stuttering is back. This may be a red-herring.

Wall-E's menus worked, but the FBI warning was skipped completely.

Thanks

Alan

Comment(by alan [at] eng):

Sorry, hadn't read the initial post properly for this bug report.

The symptoms may not be entirely the same as the issue I reported. High
motion is not the only factor, I get consistent and repeated skips
regardless of motion speed, camera pans etc. probably every 1-5 seconds on
Animusic, and may be less often on other DVDs - but no DVD plays smoothly.

What is consistent is that I can rip the DVD and it plays perfectly. Also
I can skip backwards, and the previously played sections play perfectly (I
guess cached by the OS?), I can change the playback speed up or down and
get completely smooth playback - which makes no sense to me - at 1.05x
playback speed everything is smooth (just too fast) - but at 1.00x speed,
it stutters.

Comment(by bhuffman [at] graze):

This patch did not fix the problem. I also tried increasing from 15 to
30. I'm wondering about the fact that the speed adjustment doesn't seem
to work. Even when the speed is set to 12, it seems to flash fairly
slowly (like once every .5 seconds) while mplayer accesses the drive very
rapidly when playing the same DVD (w/o any noticeable skips / pauses).

This is more like an extremely brief pause than a skip. For example at
the beginning of the movie Batman Begins, When the DC Comics is being
panned across the screen and the individual circles (looks like pixels up
close) are being lighted, there will be the most brief pause (like a
hesitation while accessing more data) on the DVD. After watching once and
rewinding, it appears to have the data cached and it won't happen again.

Comment(by bhuffman [at] graze):

I'm afraid the problem is still present [21924]...this is such an illusive
issue - it's hard to explain. It's really a small glitch - you don't hear
anything in the audio and doing a "-v playback" doesn't show any problems.
But during motion scenes where the video should be completely smooth, I'll
see a very small pause in the video every so often when the drive is
accessing the media. I use the opening credits for Batman Begins as a
test b/c during the graphics of the DC Comics logo in the intro, I can
catch it. I'm tempted to say it's something with my hardware, but I can't
imagine what it'd be and since it doesn't happen in xine, I feel like at
least something can be done in software to mask the effect (even if it is
a hardware problem). Also, it still seems like the slider for DVD speed
doesn't do anything - I have it turned up to "12" which should be
basically unrestricted and I don't know that it's working correctly.

I'm curious to know if disabling CPU frequency switching makes any
difference? Especially if you have an AMD cpu. Choose the performance
governor.

Comment(by bhuffman [at] graze):

It doesn't appear to be frequency scaling. I do not have any cpu
frequency scaling software running and gnome says that it's not configured
to do frequency scaling when I try to run the applet:

[root [at] xy~]# chkconfig --list |grep -i cpu
cpuspeed 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:off 4:off 5:off 6:off
[root [at] xy~]# ps -ef |grep -i cpu
root 11315 10911 0 12:26 pts/0 00:00:00 grep -i cpu

My CPU is also not an AMD (from /proc/cpuinfo):
model name : Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU E7200 @ 2.53GHz

Comment(by alan [at] eng):

I am using an AMD CPU (3800+ Athlon64 X2 65W), and I do have frequency
scaling enabled

sudo cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor
ondemand

Disabling scaling makes no difference on 0.21 fixes 21768 - I still get
pauses in video every second or so on Animusic2.

I haven't tested the latest version, as this is a real pain for me to do -
so my results may be irrelevant - please confirm whether there are changes
that could impact this, and I'll try and test this.

However, Xine and Totem do not suffer from these problems and changing
playback speed to 1.1 or 0.9 in MythTV completely removes these pauses, so
CPU scaling doesn't look like its the root cause of the problem.

Comment(by otto at kolsi dot fi):

I've had exactly the same problems which have been described in this
ticket. I also suspected that it is somehow related to the drive speed
control, tried to look at the code and hack something with it, increase
the speed above 12x etc. At the same time other players worked fine.

I was using ~5 years old bulk DVD-R drive but then tested bran new Samsung
DVD-RW which was going to one other machine. And that fixed the problem
for me! I'm not saying everyone should go and buy new drives.. just that
for some reason it looked like Myth couldn't get data out fast enough from
that drive.

Comment(by alan [at] eng):

I've tried both SATA and PATA DVD drives with exactly the same issues - it
does appear to be drive related, but more in how the drive is accessed by
MythTV than pure HW. Obviously I don't have an exhaustive selection of
drives, the ones I've tested are LiteOn - which work well in both of my
frontend machines and every application, except MythTV on one machine.

Comment(by usg990a [at] cebridge):

I am experiencing the same problems on 2 different SATA ASUS drives and an
IDE Samsung drive when using release-fixes-0.21 (any revision). As others
have mentioned, it seems that the drive speed setting is not being acted
upon (i.e. changes from 2x to 12x have no effect).

Could someone try writing a patch that disables the drive speed control
(or advise where in the code I could find it)? Since this spans across
multiple hardware setups, and the issues do not exist using the same
hardware with mplayer or xine , it seems to be an issue with the mythtv
code. I am just not sure where to look.

Comment(by kormoc):

Are you running a tickless kernel? If so, try disabling that feature and
see if the problem clears up (it did for me).
