Buffer Messages in Logs
by Dave 13 Dec '05

13 Dec '05

Now and then I get these sectons of messages in my logs, sometimes it will go several hours before they appear, and other times it goes only 10 minutes before a chunk is written.. Vdr 1.3.37 with Softdevice CVS: After it goes "clearing transfer buffer to avoid overflows" (at the end) they stop appearing for a while.

ANNOUNCE: powermate-0.0.3
by Andreas Regel 13 Dec '05

13 Dec '05

Hi, there is a new version of the powermate plugin available: http://home.arcor.de/andreas.regel/files/powermate/vdr-powermate-0.0.3.tgz Changes since 0.0.2: - added support for VDR version 1.3.18 and later - added proper canceling of event task - added (int) type casts to support change in the event driver API, that led to events not being recognized (p.e. left turning).

too many processes?
by André Bischof 13 Dec '05

13 Dec '05

Hello, I'm running vdr 1.3.31 with a nova-t and a dxr3. I'm experiencing a lot sync problems, investigating in that problem I had to recognize that vdr builds a lot of subprocesses. |-runvdr /usr/sbin/runvdr -v /video -c /var/lib/vdr -r /usr/lib/vdr/vdr-recordingaction -s... | `-vdr-kbd -v /video -c /var/lib/vdr -r /usr/lib/vdr/vdr-recordingaction -s/usr/lib/vdr/vdr-shut | `-vdr-kbd -v /video -c /var/lib/vdr -r /usr/lib/vdr/vdr-recordingaction -s... | |-vdr-kbd -v /video -c /var/lib/vdr -r /usr/lib/vdr/vdr-recordingaction -s... | |-vdr-kbd -v /video -c /var/lib/vdr -r /usr/lib/vdr/vdr-recordingaction -s... | |-vdr-kbd -v /video -c /var/lib/vdr -r /usr/lib/vdr/vdr-recordingaction -s... | |-vdr-kbd -v /video -c /var/lib/vdr -r /usr/lib/vdr/vdr-recordingaction -s... | |-vdr-kbd -v /video -c /var/lib/vdr -r /usr/lib/vdr/vdr-recordingaction -s... | |-vdr-kbd -v /video -c /var/lib/vdr -r /usr/lib/vdr/vdr-recordingaction -s... | |-vdr-kbd -v /video -c /var/lib/vdr -r /usr/lib/vdr/vdr-recordingaction -s... | `-vdr-kbd -v /video -c /var/lib/vdr -r /usr/lib/vdr/vdr-recordingaction -s... Is that normal behaviour or some kind of misconfiguration? If so, how I can I put that right? Any help is greatly appreciated! André

how to turn the output on a vdr-xine system?
by larsene 12 Dec '05

12 Dec '05

Hi everyones, I made a vdr/streamdev-client installation on a laptop and I'm using the xine-plugin for the output. I plan to use this laptop fixed on the ceiling of my room, above my bed. The problem is that if I want to watch the tv without doing acrobatics, I must turn the output 180 degrees. I do not found any argument in xine which allow that, neither doing mirroring X+Y, which would get the same results. Is there anyone who has an idea? Thanks LARSENE L_arsene(a)hotmail.com

In order to make a vdr machine I have installed FC4 on a computer with SS1. In dmesg I had a message about firmware missing. The problem is that I still have the same message even I created the /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware directory and put there the firmware file there. the message is : saa7146: register extension 'dvb'. PCI: Found IRQ 11 for device 0000:00:0b.0 saa7146: found saa7146 @ mem ce8b2000 (revision 1, irq 11) (0x13c2,0x1002). dvb-ttpci: could not load firmware, file not found: dvb-ttpci-01.fw dvb-ttpci: usually this should be in /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware dvb-ttpci: and can be downloaded here http://www.linuxtv.org/download/dvb/firmware/ even [root@router ~]# ls -al /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware/ total 244 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Dec 11 20:31 . drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Dec 11 20:31 .. -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 234284 Jul 6 01:44 dvb-ttpci-01.fw

NIT problem with DVB-T
by Seppo Ingalsuo 11 Dec '05

11 Dec '05

Hi, If I enable update transponders setting one (C-mux) of the available three (A,B,C) multiplexes gets updated to non-working frequency. Example: "The Voice;SBS:770000:I0C23M64B8T8G8Y0:T:27500:513:660=fin:0:0:241:8438:12289:0" becomes "The Voice;SBS:674000000:I0C23D23M64B8T8G8Y0:T:27500:513:660=fin:0:0:241:8438:12289:0" The same happens for other TV and radio channels in the same frequency. It is funny that the in addition to wrong frequency there are also three extra zeros in the updated frequency. I contacted the Finnish operator (Digita) and was lucky to get in contact with a helpful person. He verified that other NIT data is sent correctly here in Tampere so I wonder now if the problem is in vdr. He also told that the NIT data is sent in two parts, first A and B and then C separately. Could it cause that A and B work but not C. The log of vdr shows no further interesting information about the problem. BR, Seppo

Cause for interferences ?
by Martin Cap 11 Dec '05

11 Dec '05

Hi list, I have some sort of annoyance to report, which persists iirc since vdr-1.3.16 (the version, where the audio-menu appeared ?!). But as far as I can see, I'm the only one having a problem like this: When switching channels, the first two or three seconds give me disturbed video and audio (ie. stuttering and freezing). It doesnt matter which transponder/multiplex I use, the behavior remains. STR + SNR are always near 70-90%. I use a DVB-T Twinhan-FTA DVB-T-card. The drivers I use are usually from CVS and updated quite frequently by myself. First I thought its related to my Twinhan card, but even though I had to replace the card (it broke, a warranty-issue) and borrowed a Hauppauge Nova T the problem remained. I use the dxr3-card as output via vdr-dx3plugin. So my questions is: Could there be any relation between my disturbed video+audio and the changes made for vdr-1.3.16 ? Has anyone seen a behavior like this ? Any cure ? --- Regards, Martin Cap
