Can not run reliably VDR > 1.3.24
by Kari Smolander 22 Dec '05

22 Dec '05

Hi, I have an up and running VDR 1.3.24. I have been trying to upgrade it to a newer version, but there is a feature/bug that prevents me from doing that. I have tried 1.3.34 and 1.3.37, but they seem not to run reliably. These versions start perfectly, all functionality is working, but when I leave them running, they lose completely sound and picture after some hours. OSD and menus are still working and you can even watch recordings, but live-TV does not show. There is nothing unusual in the logs. Even restart of VDR does not help - you have to reboot the whole computer. This does not happen with 1.3.24. I have not tried the versions between 1.3.24 and 1.3.34. My configuration: 0000:00:12.0 Multimedia controller: Sigma Designs, Inc. REALmagic Hollywood Plus DVD Decoder (rev 02) 0000:00:13.0 Network controller: Techsan Electronics Co Ltd B2C2 FlexCopII DVB chip / Technisat SkyStar2 DVB card (rev 02) Both em8300 and skystar2 have their own interrupts. DVB drivers are compiled as modules from a custom 2.6.14 kernel and dxr3 modules from em8300-0.15.1: Module Size Used by adv717x 7092 0 b2c2_flexcop_pci 6360 15 b2c2_flexcop 25836 1 b2c2_flexcop_pci dvb_core 75880 1 b2c2_flexcop mt352 6244 1 b2c2_flexcop bcm3510 10084 1 b2c2_flexcop stv0299 10888 1 b2c2_flexcop nxt2002 8868 1 b2c2_flexcop stv0297 7968 1 b2c2_flexcop mt312 7876 1 b2c2_flexcop em8300 66460 8 VDR startup command: ./vdr --config=/home/VDRrun --epg=/home/VDRrun/epg.data --watchdog=60 --lib=./PLUGINS/lib --video=/home/movies/video -Pdxr3 -Posdteletext -Psubtitles -P"vdrcd -m /home/VDRrun/mount.sh -c /mnt/cdrom" -Ptext2skin Plugin versions dxr3 0.2.4 osdteletext 0.5.1 subtitles 0.3.8 vdrcd 0.0.10.1 text2skin CVS I have tried this both with export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.1 and without. There is no difference. Any idea what is wrong here? Kari

Xbox (Xebian) VDR
by Mlists 22 Dec '05

22 Dec '05

Hi all, I have VDR running on an Xbox using the package from http://xmltv.free.fr/Xvdr. Its fantastic and has been working flawlessly. It's version 1.3.22 from what I can see. I would like to add an EPG plugin to it and wanted to see if there was anything particular I need to do. I was thinking of downloading this version and just building it -- in particular I'm after yaepg (or another good epg?). Backend is 1.3.37 with streamdev running. Thanks Norm

vdradminbug?
by Kartsa 20 Dec '05

20 Dec '05

Just updated my vdradmin to version vdradmin-0.97-am3.4.2. After the update there has been appearing recordings wich have been created by autotimers but they either have wrong name or wrong recording time. I have not yet had missing recordings but these recordings with wrong names are hard to find :) And those unattended recordings takes up disk space for nothing :( At first I thought the problem was my old timers created by older version and so I removed all timers and started from scratch. Everything was fine for a couple of days but today I had several of these misrecordings (at least 3). Is there something I should set or unset in the vdradmind.conf (or elsewhere)? My vdr version is vdr-1.3.23. \\Kartsa No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition. Version: 7.1.371 / Virus Database: 267.14.1/206 - Release Date: 16.12.2005

I was wondering if > you could tell me if this .37 patch exists ? Where can I get it? There is nothing for vdr 1.3.37, since I am still using vdr 1.3.36. The patch I am using is attached. I will make a new one after vdr 1.3.38 comes out. Cheers, Carsten.

Memory access error while attach player?
by Patrick Fischer 19 Dec '05

19 Dec '05

Hello If I want to attach a Player to a device (for play a VDR Recording) but I have some Thread problems. I have looked at cSVDRP::CmdPLAY. But If I copy the Code to my Plugin, sometimes I get a Memory access error. Maybe I need to lock the the device? The Problem is that the cControl::Attach(void) starts befor the cDevice::AttachPlayer(myPlayer) is done. But I don't know how to lock the device. This is a fragment of the cSVDRP::CmdPLAY Code: cRecording *recording = Recordings.Get(3); if (recording) { ....... cReplayControl::SetRecording(NULL, NULL); cControl::Shutdown(); ....... cReplayControl::SetRecording(recording->FileName(), recording->Title()); cControl::Launch(new cReplayControl); //if I place a output here it will be shown cControl::Attach(); //if I place a output here it will not be shown if it freezes ........ } How to create a lock for this? I have created some more output which can be shown here: http://nopaste.debianforum.de/1801 On stdout was shown: ..... SetPlayMode: 0 SetAudioChannelDevice: 0 SetPlayMode: 1 Speicherzugriffsfehler

Seqfault of cutting thread on "Low disk space!"
by Christof Steininger 18 Dec '05

18 Dec '05

Hi, as i'm absolutely new to the mailinglist business maybe i made something wrong. I described this bug on the vdrportal.de, Andreas was able to confirm it. The solution i posted there was actually only meant as a workaround for me to test stability. Skins.QueueMessage(mtWarning, tr("Low disk space!"), 30); produces a message thats 30 seconds long, while AssumeFreeDiskSpace(-1), that's called about every 10 seconds fills up The Messagequeue, which is obviously not a good idea. As i'm far from being a coder, i'm sorry, i have to leave it to others finding a working solution. Greetings Christof Steininger
