Crash in cPatFilter::Process at si.h

Hi! VDR 1.3.24 segfaulted with the following backtrace: #0 0x080bae41 in cPatFilter::Process (this=0x824a948, Pid=0, Tid=0 '\0', Data=0xb57f2414 "", Length=40) at si.h:301 #1 0x080c82cc in cSectionHandler::Action (this=0x824a570) at sections.c:214 #2 0x080d9920 in cThread::StartThread (Thread=0x824a570) at thread.c:227 #3 0xb7f573b0 in start_thread () from /lib/tls/libpthread.so.0 #4 0xb7de026e in clone () from /lib/tls/libc.so.6 The line libsi/si.h:301 is "obj=ret;". The getNext function is called from pat.c:288. I don't understand these C++ template thingies, so maybe someone could look at this. It may be worth to notice that I'm using NPTL. -- Anssi Hannula

VDR developer version 1.3.24
by Klaus Schmidinger 21 May '05

21 May '05

VDR developer version 1.3.24 is now available at ftp://ftp.cadsoft.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-1.3.24.tar.bz2 A 'diff' against the previous version is available at ftp://ftp.cadsoft.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-1.3.23-24.diff The changes since version 1.3.23: - Now including the optional user defined Make.config from the 'libsi' Makefile (thanks to Ville Skyttä). - Updated the Danish OSD texts (thanks to Mogens Elneff). - Fixed a memory leak in tComponent (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt and Daniel Thompson). - Fixed a memory leak in cDvbPlayer (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt). - Added missing text internationalization for "Starting EPG scan" (thanks to Matthias Lötzke). - Updated the Finnish OSD texts (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - Fixed handling transparent areas in cDvbSpuBitmap (thanks to Marco Schlüßler). - Now also considering the "EPG linger time" when saving the EPG data to file or listing it via LSTE (thanks to Roman Krenický). - Fixed handling fragments of less than 3 byte in cPesAssembler (thanks to Reinhard Nissl). - Fixed a bug in libsi's SubtitlingDescriptor::getLength() (thanks to Marco Schlüßler). - When reading the channels.conf file, duplicate channels (i.e. ones that have the same channel ID) are now automatically deleted and only the first one is actually stored. - Fixed handling lifetime when deciding whether to delete a recording (thanks to Udo Richter). - Fixed timeout handling in cRwLock::Lock() (thanks to Sascha Volkenandt for reporting this one). - Since there are several places in thread.c where a timeout value is calculated, this has been put into a separate function. - The timer status now has a new bit that is set when that timer is currently recording (suggested by Matthias Schniedermeyer). See man vdr(5) for details. - Removed scaling coordinates in letterbox mode from cDvbSpu - the DVD plugin, which was the only one needing this, doesn't need it any more (thanks to Marco Schlüßler). - No longer retuning or restarting a recording if only the language code of an audio or dolby PID changes. - Now preferring budget cards when selecting a DVB device for recording. - Recordings now avoid zero sized video data files (thanks to Wolfgang Fitz). - Some rearrangements in cDvbPlayer::Action() to avoid lockups on NPTL systems (thanks to Reinhard Nissl). - Fixed a wrong inheritance in libsi's SubtitlingDescriptor::Subtitling (thanks to Marco Schlüßler). The DVB driver I am currently using can be found at ftp://ftp.cadsoft.de/vdr/Developer/linux-dvb.2004-12-26.tar.bz2 which is the CVS 'HEAD' version from 2004-12-26, made available as a complete archive for your convenience. Of course, you can also use any newer driver version. Have fun! Klaus

EPIA M with FF Card
by Leo Márquez 21 May '05

21 May '05

Hi! I have an EPIA M motherboard and a Nexus-s FF DVB-s card. What kind of VDR/plugins implementation do you recommend to me? I have planned to use the svga out from the nexus and the onboard EPIA RCA to the 6 channel audio output. What mpeg2 hardware decoder you recommend to use? The nexus mpeg2 decoder included in the dvb-s pci card or the mpeg2 decoder included in the CLE266 chipset? In the last option I have to use the softdevice plugin? Can I turn the FF card and use a cheaper budget card with the CLE266 hw mpeg decoder with the same quality? Witch combination do you think is better? To many questions are unanswered in my head. Sorry about it and thanks for your help. -- Salutacions, Leo Márquez

(vdt 1.3.18 with only LNB sharing patch, Teletex,femon,undelte plugins) BTW. Will the nice channel edit have "multiple selects" So that one can easyly scroll down, calloct all new "radio" and move them all with one stroke to right place? Too it would be nice if the "0" key could toogle between "destination" and (old) "source" of the move. It why annyoing if you have to move many entries from postion 650 to pos. 30. Rainer

OpenMHP plugin preview
by Mikko Novaro 20 May '05

20 May '05

I've been working on an OpenMHP (a free MHP implementation) plugin for VDR. I'm not quite ready to release the software yet, but from a suggestion of the people working with OpenMHP, I wrote an introduction page for it, and thought I'd post the address here as well: http://users.utu.fi/miknov/vdr-openmhp/ You can read about OpenMHP here: http://www.openmhp.org/ -- Mikko Novaro

Using DVB-C and DVB-T at the same time
by Paavo Hartikainen 20 May '05

20 May '05

Recently I got DVB-C tuner and it works well. I already had DVB-T tuner and it has been working well for receiving many and many gigabytes of content. They both worked well alone with Linux 2.6.11.7 drivers but when I installed both, only DVB-C tuner is used for receiving. I added current channels ("SVDRP NEWC <channel parameters>") used in old DVB-T server but no content is received when tuning to those channels. Am I doing something wrong with VDR 1.3.24? Infra-red remote control (of DVB-T tuner, DVB-C tuner does not have that feature) works as it should, so device is not completely out of business when both tuners are on PCI bus. -- "pienena / Paavo "Rainbow Rat" Hartikainen minusta / E-mail: pahartik(a)sci.fi tulee / URL: http://www.sci.fi/~pahartik/ rotta" / EFnet: pahartik at #Atari and #LionKing

OT: Satellite reception in Crete, Greece
by Sven Karlsson 19 May '05

19 May '05

Hi all, First, I want to apologize for the OT cross posting. I'm in the process of relocating from Sweden to Heraklion, Crete (Greece) and I want to know which satellites are possible to receive at what dish sizes. I have been using DVB-C for years but is new to DVB-S. Any hints or suggestions are appreciated. There are some posts suggesting that it is possible to receive British Sky. This should be, however, judging from the coverage maps, close to impossible. I guess the coverage maps are very conservative. I will only be staying on Crete for a year or two so it would be interesting to me to be able to get Nordic channels. These are on Sirius 2/3 (5 deg E) and on Thor 2/3 (1 deg W). Another interesting option would be British Sky sent on Astra. Has anyone been able to receive these? I have seen on some sat-dx sites that there might be a possibility using 140cm dishes and good LNBs. Any hints or experiences on how to receive these packages would be very helpful. Best regards Sven

Hi all. I am proud to announce that the dxr3plugin has now its own ml. The reason for this step is the fact that there are many dxr3 users out there 8-) and it make bug tracking and fixing much easier. So i hope that all dxr3plugin user will use this special ml too.
