[vdr] Problems with subtitles

[Timo Laitinen <timolai@utu.fi>]

Hi,

I have some problems with subtitles 0.3.3 and dxr3 0.2.3-pre2, under vdr
1.3.12. The OSD is somehow disabled when the dvb subtitles appear (and
remains so until change of the channel). The sound control bar doesn't
appear, and, more critically, vdr crashes when I press menu button, or
try to change the channel using a number button. With gdb, the backtrace
shows 

#0  cSkinSTTNGDisplayMenu (this=0x850ab88) at skinsttng.c:368
#1  0x080d1282 in cSkinSTTNG::DisplayMenu (this=0x849f030) at
    skinsttng.c:899
#2  0x080b35a2 in cOsdMenu (this=0x850ab20,Title=0x0, c0=0, c1=0, c2=0,
    c3=0, c4=0) at skins.h:293
#3  0x080a9c27 in cMenuMain(this=0x850ab20, State=osUnknown, Plugin=0x0)
    at menu.c:2263
#4  0x080df767 in main (argc=139504416, argv=0x0) at vdr.c:637

and the crashed line:

#0  cSkinSTTNGDisplayMenu (this=0x850ab88) at skinsttng.c:368
368	  if (osd->CanHandleAreas(Areas, sizeof(Areas) / sizeof(tArea)) ==
    oeOk)

(gdb) print osd
$1 = (class cOsd *) 0x0

which looks a bit suspicious... It crashes also when text is pushed to
the screen by, for example vdrconvert, if subtitles are in use.

Any idea what the problem might be? Is this a known/reproducable
problem? I've applied the DVBsubs.patch (which had a couple of
resolvable conflicts, hopefully correctly...). Also, i've knifed the
dxr3 plugin as shown in

http://www.google.fi/groups?selm=slrnbu5hru.dh6.mijutu%40sorvankyla.yok.utu.fi

but the behaviour didn't change due to these changes.

I'm not sure if this is related to dxr3, but I had a similar problem
when cutting recordings (that had no subtitles): vdr froze when
scanning to the next mark with '9', and after a while crashed. This
didn't happen when I removed the subtitles plugin. The problem
vanished, however, when I set LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.0 , as suggested
elsewhere.

Best Regards,

Timo
