Question about component descriptor association
by Marcel Wiesweg 09 Oct '05

09 Oct '05

Hi, I stumbled across this line in eit.c Components->SetComponent(Components->NumComponents(), cd->getStreamContent(), cd->getComponentType(), and the corresponding code in menu.c:SetTrackDescriptions(). Searching the mailinglist revealed only Klaus' message from February >> The PID data and the description are broadcast in two separate SI tables. >> So far the only way to corellate them seems to be the sequence in which >> they are given. Actually, the component descriptor from EIT and the stream identifier descriptor from PMT are associated via the component_tag. Is there a reason this is not used, or did it just slip attention? (It definitely slipped my attention when I skimmed the mail at that time) Anyway, the current solution is working pretty well, so this is low priority, but at least, if some stations are reversing the order but provide the required descriptors, we should not blame them.

"ERROR: unexpected tag while reading EPG data: ....." caused by bug in epg.c?
by Carsten Koch 09 Oct '05

09 Oct '05

I am getting an ERROR: unexpected tag while reading EPG data: ..... error message on every start up of VDR. So I tried the following: * compile plain vanilla VDR 1.3.34. No patches, no plugins. * remove /video/epg.data. * start up VDR using a copy of my config directory. Here is what I get: Oct 4 23:09:39 vdr vdr[3846]: VDR version 1.3.34 started Oct 4 23:09:39 vdr vdr[3846]: loading /tmp/vdrconfig//setup.conf Oct 4 23:09:39 vdr vdr[3846]: ERROR: unknown config parameter: SourceCaps = 1 S19.2E Oct 4 23:09:39 vdr vdr[3846]: ERROR: unknown config parameter: SourceCaps = 2 S19.2E Oct 4 23:09:39 vdr vdr[3846]: ERROR: unknown config parameter: SourceCaps = 3 S13.0E Oct 4 23:09:39 vdr vdr[3846]: loading /tmp/vdrconfig//sources.conf Oct 4 23:09:39 vdr vdr[3846]: loading /tmp/vdrconfig//diseqc.conf Oct 4 23:09:39 vdr vdr[3846]: loading /tmp/vdrconfig//channels.conf Oct 4 23:09:39 vdr vdr[3846]: loading /tmp/vdrconfig//timers.conf Oct 4 23:09:39 vdr vdr[3846]: loading /tmp/vdrconfig//commands.conf Oct 4 23:09:39 vdr vdr[3846]: loading /tmp/vdrconfig//reccmds.conf Oct 4 23:09:39 vdr vdr[3846]: loading /tmp/vdrconfig//svdrphosts.conf Oct 4 23:09:39 vdr vdr[3846]: loading /tmp/vdrconfig//ca.conf Oct 4 23:09:39 vdr vdr[3846]: loading /tmp/vdrconfig//remote.conf Oct 4 23:09:39 vdr vdr[3846]: loading /tmp/vdrconfig//keymacros.conf Oct 4 23:09:39 vdr vdr[3846]: video directory scanner thread started (pid=3846, tid=-1211290704) Oct 4 23:09:39 vdr vdr[3846]: probing /dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0 Oct 4 23:09:39 vdr vdr[3846]: ERROR: unexpected tag while reading EPG data: USA 1992 Oct 4 23:09:41 vdr vdr[3846]: tuner on device 1 thread started (pid=3846, tid=-1219683408) Oct 4 23:09:41 vdr vdr[3846]: section handler thread started (pid=3846, tid=-1228076112) Oct 4 23:09:41 vdr vdr[3846]: probing /dev/dvb/adapter1/frontend0 Oct 4 23:09:41 vdr vdr[3846]: tuner on device 2 thread started (pid=3846, tid=-1236468816) Oct 4 23:09:41 vdr vdr[3846]: section handler thread started (pid=3846, tid=-1244861520) Oct 4 23:09:41 vdr vdr[3846]: probing /dev/dvb/adapter2/frontend0 Oct 4 23:09:41 vdr vdr[3846]: tuner on device 3 thread started (pid=3846, tid=-1253254224) Oct 4 23:09:41 vdr vdr[3846]: section handler thread started (pid=3846, tid=-1261646928) Oct 4 23:09:41 vdr vdr[3846]: probing /dev/dvb/adapter3/frontend0 Oct 4 23:09:41 vdr vdr[3846]: found 3 video devices Oct 4 23:09:41 vdr vdr[3846]: setting primary device to 1 Oct 4 23:09:41 vdr vdr[3846]: SVDRP listening on port 2001 Oct 4 23:09:41 vdr vdr[3846]: loading /tmp/vdrconfig//themes/sttng-default.theme Oct 4 23:09:41 vdr vdr[3846]: loading /tmp/vdrconfig//themes/sttng-default.theme Oct 4 23:09:41 vdr vdr[3846]: remote control KBD - learning keys Oct 4 23:09:41 vdr vdr[3846]: KBD remote control thread started (pid=3846, tid=-1270039632) Oct 4 23:09:43 vdr vdr[3846]: ERROR: unexpected tag while reading EPG data: USA 2003 Where does it read the EPG data from (remember: there is no /video/epg.data file)?

Hi, did anyone using pvrinput encouter this endless logging of the plugin, about sattelit channels it shoeuldn't have anything to do with? this is just an example of 3 lines, but if I start vdr in a ssh console, there are lots of them: pvrinput: 14:00:57 cPvrDevice::ProvidesTransponder 1162 UNIRE 1 12608 pvrinput: 14:00:57 cPvrDevice::ProvidesTransponder 68 MTV Italia 12630 pvrinput: 14:00:57 cPvrDevice::ProvidesTransponder 1 TVR1 11471 Lucian

[ANNOUNCE] vdr-softdevice-0.2.0
by Stefan Lucke 09 Oct '05

09 Oct '05

Hello, softdevice team (Torgeir Veimo, Martin Wache and me, Stefan Lucke) is pleased to announce a new release of vdr softdevice plugin. General info: Softdevice plugin enables vdr to run on your desktop with so called budget cards. You'll get vdr output via framebuffer or X11-Xv or DirectFB or vidix to your screen. Decoding is done via ffmpeg. Special in this release (from README): - AC3 pass through: For using AC3 pass through, you have to specify the IEC958 device name of your sound card. Which device to use, can be checked with ac3play. For my system, ac3play works with: "ac3play -C -D 0,1 AC3_FILE_NAME" So my vdr call with parameter list for softdevice looks like: -P "softdevice -ao alsa:pcm=default#ac3=hw:0,1# -vo dfb:mgatv" Notice the trailing '#' of the last alsa subparameter. AC3 pass through is mainly based on the code of ac3play-0.5.2f, so many thanks to the authors of that program. - configure script By default you should "cd" to softdevice directory and run "./configure" . This will generate config.h and config.mak files, which will guide make. Available parameters of configure are listed by "./configure --help" . To get rid of these generated files a "make dist-clean" should be done. Without running configure, you'll have to modify the Makefile to your needs. Plugin's homepage is located at: http://softdevice.berlios.de/ Changelog since last release: 2005-10-08: softdevice-0.2.0 2005-10-07: - dfb+vidix: fix colored shadow bug for some crop modes - configure: fix VIDIX_DIR path 2005-10-06: - configure: check if X11 is present - audio: AC3 pass through 2005-09-18: - Makefile: compatibility for build without configure - subplugin targets: changed prefix from libvdr to libsubvdr. so it doesn't interfere with vdr's "load all plugins" for plain help command. 2005-09-17: - configure: check if vidix compiles, optionally disable fb-out via command line "--disable-fb" and/or subplugins via "--disable-subplugins" 2005-09-16: - introduce audio debug - return 0 in GetDelay if pcm is not running 2005-09-15: - modified previous OSD redraw handling (timed redraw after _all_ OSD bitmaps have been drawn) - video-dfb: keyrepeat handling + configure check for DIET_REPEAT 2005-09-11: - fix for segfaults with some OSD activity - introduced configure script: try ./configure --help 2005-09-06: - video-out (all methods): fix for missing actions upon aspect ratio change - audio-out: fix potentially div by zero. -- Stefan Lucke

Display problem with graphlcd-0.1.2 and MP3-plugin
by Wolfgang Fritz 08 Oct '05

08 Oct '05

Hi, I am using graphlcd-0.1.2 with a 64x128 ks0108 display on a Suse 9.3 based VDR system with kernel 2.6.13.2. If I play MP3s with the MP3 plugin, I get a display problem when using a "loop mode": Exactly the left half of the display stays black. The right half is displayed and even updated correctly. What I have found: 1. If the problem has occured in the MP3 plugin, all other VDR displays are disturbed afterwards, not only the MP3 plugin's display. 2. Deactivating and reactivating the graphlcd plugin does not help. 3. Restarting VDR helps. 4. The problem has nothing to do with the loopmode per se, but the number of additional characters displayed in this situation. The offending display line looks like this: Musik : [LS] xx:yy 08:30 ^^^^ loop mode if I modify the graphlcd code and force the loopmode string to a fixed value, the display is correct up to a string length of 2. Musik : 12 xx:yy OK Musik : 123 xx:yy Not OK. 5. This one is interesting: If I display a fullscreen picture with showpic from the command line while vdr is playing an MP3, this picture is displayed correctly until the next MP3 display update. And even the MP3 display is correct until the next change of the progress bar (!). I'll debug this further, but maybe someone can get some idea from my observations what is going wrong here and give me some help. Wolfgang

Updated suspend patch for vdr 1.3.32
by Marko Mäkelä 08 Oct '05

08 Oct '05

Based on some helpful feedback from Klaus, I simplified my suspend patch. The interface to the solid-state relay will be moved to a separate plugin. There are so many ways to control relays from a PC that it is best to write plugins for relay interfaces as the need arises. The patch introduces three config.h variables, which are 0 by default, and exposed in the Setup/Miscellanous panel: PowerSuspend: 1=enable the Power button control the Suspend flag, 0=normal Suspend: 1=suspend audio and video playback, 0=normal SuspendShutdownWait: After playback was suspended by pressing the Power button, wait this many seconds until shutting down vdr. This feature is disabled if SuspendShutdownWait=0 or PowerSuspend=0 or no -s option is given to vdr. The patch is available at: http://www.funet.fi/~msmakela/software/vdr/vdr-1.3.32-suspend-0.3.patch.gz When compiling, be sure to pass SUSPEND_PATCH=1 to make. The page http://www.funet.fi/~msmakela/software/vdr/ currently documents the previous version of the patch. I will write a relay-control plugin and rewrite my "runvdr" script at some later time. On my system (900 MHz Celeron, 256 MB, vdr, softdevice, DirectFB on Matrox G450), suspending playback cuts the power consumption by 15 to 20 VA, about 20 % of the apparent power consumed when one hard disk is spinning. The power consumption would probably drop more on processors equipped with frequency scaling and thermal throttling. I plan to repeat the measurements with a better instrument that displays actual power consumption in watts instead of apparent power (volt-amps). Marko

[PATCH] Endless loops in keyup/down handlers
by Enrico Scholz 08 Oct '05

08 Oct '05

Hello, when MenuScrollWrap is activated, menues are going into an endless loop when there are no selectable items. E.g. after 'Recordings' -> 1 -> Up, vdr does not respond anymore. Same happens for non-empty menues which do not have selectable items. The attached patch fixes this (written for 1.3.33, but applies to 1.3.34 too). Enrico <#part type="text/x-patch" filename="~/src/livna/vdr/vdr-1.3.33-noinfloop.patch" disposition=attachment description="fixes endless loops in keyup/down handlers"> <#/part>
