totem-gstreamer DVB-T jerky playback~

I bought a AverMedia A800 DVB-T USB2.0 serial days ago,and i wanna use it for dvb playback with totem 2.22.0+
I installed Totem 2.22 from source,and also installed some additional packages,such as libmpeg2,gst-fluendo-mpegdemux .....
The dvb-channels.conf is the one I use for xine,which is generated from dvb-scan.
When I run Totem,and click "Watch TV on adapter 0",and wait...
After a few seconds,the playback start.but,it's jerky (about 7 or 8 seconds between each frame) and no audio.

Is there some needed packages uninstalled?
Or some mistakes in dependence between packages?
thanks.:cool:

If it was a dependency problem I doubt it would work at all. Is it always jerky regardless of the program used or is it just with Totem?

Re: totem-gstreamer DVB-T jerky playback~

I installed Totem on Fedora8, compiled gstreamer-0.10.19,gst-plugins-base-0.10.19,gst-plugins-good-0.10.7,gst-plugins-ugly-0.10.7,gst-plugins-bad-0.10.6-2 and
gst-ffmpeg-0.10.3 on my x86_32,and also installed 'libmpeg2' and 'gstreamer0.10-fluendo-mpegdemux' additionally.
    When I run Totem, and choose "Watch TV on adapter 0", the playback starts after a few secs,but jerky and no audio always.But when I use Xine/Mplayer to be backend,my device(AverMedia A800 DVB-T) works well, and playback is good.
    Gstreamer only recently seemed to support the DVB, and we need gst-plugins-bad 0.10.6, as well as Fluendo's MPEG demuxer to have playback working.
    May be some defects in Gstreamer MPEG2 TS decoder modules.
    The same problems here:

Looks like the quick fix is simply to use one of the other players like mythtv.
