keymacros strange behaviour
by Helmut Auer 06 May '05

06 May '05

Hello, I have defined in Keymacros.conf: ... User2 Commands 1 BACK ... Executing this key opens the Menu window ( No matter if pressing the key or sending HITK user2 ) Otherwise executing it via SVDRP: HITK Commands HITK 1 HITK BACK works as expected ( Comand window opens , CD gets ejected ( Menu No 1 ) and BACK does nothing. when I define: ... User2 Commands 1 ... its also working as expected. Why does BACK break the command before ? -- Helmut Auer, helmut(a)helmutauer.de

1.3.22: memory leaks
by s.huelswitt＠gmx.de 05 May '05

05 May '05

Hi, while investigating VDR with valgrind and other memory tracing tools, I found two places where memory leaks. First is in dvbplayer.c, where the Action() code builds a frame from the replayed file (readFrame). If the ringbuffer is already full, this frame cannot be put immediately. If Empty() is called in such a situation, the premade frame is lost. Solution: --- dvbplayer.c 2005-01-14 15:00:56.000000000 +0100 +++ dvbplayer.c 2005-03-26 21:41:23.000000000 +0100 @@ -296,6 +296,7 @@ nonBlockingFileReader->Clear(); if ((readIndex = backTrace->Get(playDir == pdForward)) < 0) readIndex = writeIndex; + delete readFrame; readFrame = NULL; playFrame = NULL; ringBuffer->Clear(); Second is in epg.c tComponent::FromString(). I cannot find anything bad with the code there, but valgrind reports a lot of memory leaks with the sscanf() call. So I guessed that sscanf() is leaking internaly when used with "%a[\n]" (at least with my glibc version 2.2.5). After changing to code to the suggestion below, the leaks disappeared: --- epg.c 2005-02-19 12:35:00.000000000 +0100 +++ epg.c 2005-03-27 10:53:06.000000000 +0200 @@ -28,13 +28,12 @@ bool tComponent::FromString(const char *s) { unsigned int Stream, Type; - int n = sscanf(s, "%X %02X %3c %a[^\n]", &Stream, &Type, language, &description); - if (n != 4) + char buf[512]; + int n = sscanf(s, "%X %02X %3c %511[^\n]", &Stream, &Type, language, buf); + if (n==4 && !isempty(buf)) + description = strdup(buf); + else description = NULL; - else if (isempty(description)) { - free(description); - description = NULL; - } stream = Stream; type = Type; return n >= 3; Regards. -- Stefan Huelswitt s.huelswitt(a)gmx.de | http://www.muempf.de/

RE: [vdr] How to get blank screen after watching recording?

You could create a pseudo device which provides a pseudo channel, and feed black (or whatever, vdr-logo perhaps) frames when tuned into that channel. It might be useful also on some situations if you need to run VDR without a DVB hardware, e.g. to play recordings on a laptop. Not too difficult to implement, but some knowledge is required... Teemu

Patch: dxr3plugin OSD don't turn pink
by Martin Cap 18 Apr '05

18 Apr '05

Hi ML, Hi dxr3plugin lovers, Attached to this posting is a patch which fixes the odd problem making the osd turn pink after returning from mplayer or after hardware-reset of the dxr3-card. I posted this fix in a german-vdr-forum a couple of months ago and it works for other users there, too. I haven't found the time to post it here (other users hadn't either:) )... so, here it is. Now what this patch does is it changes some behavior of cDxr3PaletteManager. It seems, that after returning from pmExtern_THIS_SHOULD_BE_AVOIDED, palette-data in cDxr3PaletteManager is somehow broken after resuscitation (whatever happens there, the code is a total mess). I avoid this by *not* converting the whole data allover again in cDxr3PaletteManager::GetPalette() through Tools::Rgb2YCrCb() and copy it to m_pal (only when palette-data has changed, indicated by member m_changed, should speed up the whole process a bit additionally). This patch may be applied to current CVS (HEAD or MAIN, also vdr-dxr3-0-2). Give it a shot !

Looking forward to both 0.8.0 and 0.7.3 ... In my experience the most problems I've had are starting/ending recording, and all rewinds. At these points may happen that xine disconnects. Not very often but sometimes. When xine disconnects VDR will "play" the recording really fast and it's minutes past the place when xine reconnects. I've had no problems with cutting marks... Teemu

epgsearch, timeline, and streamdev-client timer patches?

The compile for Epgsearch-0.9.1, Timeline-0.9.0, and streamdev-client have broke due to the timer changes in vdr-1.3.23. Does anyone have a solution for these?

mp3: how to remove track from playlist during play?
by Markku Tavasti 04 Apr '05

04 Apr '05

Is there some easy way to remove track from playlist during play. For me it is very common to find some particular track worthless during listening music, and therefore remove it from playlist permanently. However, I don't see any possibility for it, can this be true? For me it is the most often needed function on mp3player! -- M. Tavasti / tavasti(a)tavastisolutions.com / +358-40-5078254
