What are the usb-driver-quirks that you mention? Are they usb DVB devices that you have? I've just been having another go at getting software suspend to work on an Epia-based vdr system with vdr-xine. I can get it to suspend and resume fairly easily with a 2.6.12 kernel and the latest patch set form www.suspend2.net but I can't get the DVB drivers to play nicely! A suspend and restart brings it back up as it should and vdr starts but all I see is a black screen. I can change channel but I still get a black screen. I have yet to see if the DVB card (an old l64781 based Nova-T) is outputting a stream or not, and LIRC won't allow any connections after resuming (homebrew receiver). I have yet to try playing back a recording because it's a bit awkward without a remote! Has anyone had any luck with software suspend and this type of card or LIRC? Do I need to explicitly kill vdr and unload the drivers before suspending, and then reload and restart on startup? Cheers, Laz

How to debug a vdr segfault?
by Hanno Mueller 25 Jun '05

25 Jun '05

Hi, I used to run a vdr 1.2.6 based on Debian with Kernel 2.6.11.12 and a full-featured DVB-C card. That combination worked very stable and I had no complaints at all. Recently I added a Nova-T (new Conexant-based revision) DVB-T and upgraded to 2.6.12 which contains the new drivers to support it. Since then, my vdr segfaults every few minutes http://www.linuxtv.org/pipermail/linux-dvb/2005-June/002905.html The friendly folks at the DVB mailing list seen to think that it's not the card, another user reports it is stable for him http://www.linuxtv.org/pipermail/linux-dvb/2005-June/002903.html I tried as suggested to use vdr without runvdr http://www.linuxtv.org/pipermail/linux-dvb/2005-June/002908.html and it showed me the segfaults. I also tried to run it without the plugins, same problem. The card itself seems to work. I used the vanilla 2.6.12 kernel and the card was recognized. Before vdr crashes, I can switch channels, watch TV and it receives EPG data from the DVB-T channel, as well. How can I debug this problem? Is it the card, the kernel, the vdr version, the tv channel it tuned to? Thanks, Hanno

Mouse and On-Screen Keyboard Support
by Chris Warren 25 Jun '05

25 Jun '05

Hi all, I'm working on a DIY digital pictureframe project and also trying to have it second as a VDR playback device. As it has a touchscreen, I'm wondering if anyone knows of any patches or plugins anyone has made in the past to support navigation through the menus using a mouse as this is what the touchscreen emulates. Also, has anyone ever tried writing a on-screen keyboard for text entry? I have a feeling the answer to both of these will be "no", but thought it best to check incase I was duplicating someone else's work. Many thanks, Chris

Request : CutterBandwithLimit.patch for vdr-1.2.x ?
by christian jacobsen 23 Jun '05

23 Jun '05

Hallo, I am loooking for the author of the CutterQueue and CutterBandwithLimit.patch Could you please create a version of the CutterBandwithLimit.patch for vdr-1.2.x ? Thanks in advance :) I would like to use the CutterBandwithLimit.patch with vdr-1.2.5 so that it would make vdrcutter2 go a bit easyer on the resources. Thus keep VDR reaction nicely while cutting in the background using my AutoCutter scripts. It brings the folowing error while compiling with vdr-1.2.5 : g++ -g -O2 -Wall -Woverloaded-virtual -c -DREMOTE_KBD -DREMOTE_ -D_GNU_SOURCE -DVIDEODIR=\"/video\" -DPLUGINDIR=\"./PLUGINS/lib\" -I../DVB/include cutter.c cutter.c: In member function `virtual void cCuttingThread::Action()': cutter.c:88: error: `cTimeMs' undeclared (first use this function) cutter.c:88: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once for each function it appears in.) cutter.c:88: error: syntax error before `__attribute__' cutter.c:200: error: `t' undeclared (first use this function) cutter.c:215: error: `cCondWait' undeclared (first use this function) cutter.c:215: error: syntax error before `::' token make: *** [cutter.o] Error 1 By the way the patch works very nice with vdr-1.3.27 and your CutterQueue. Cutted 6-7 recordings with that yesterday and no problems - VDR reacted very nice while cutting :) Thanks a lot. I am going into Holiday tomorrow so I will not be able to reply for a couple of weeks ;) Greetings Christian Jacobsen

Air/SkyStar2 IRQ stop (partial) fix
by Patrick Boettcher 23 Jun '05

23 Jun '05

Hi list, after some time of investigation the no-data problem of the flexcop-pci-driver (f.k.a skystar2-driver) is fixed (partially at least). Short problem description: after some time stressing the card with (re)tuning (e.g. as a slave card in VDR doing EPG/channels-scan) the card stops to producing interrupts and thus delivers not data anymore. I could only do tests with an old AirStar card which is not really reliable, because most of the affected cards are SkyStar2 DVB-S and I don't have easy access to DVB-S. I highly encourage everyone who suffered/ is suffering from this issue to either try current CVS of dvb-kernel (requires 2.6.12) or to checkout CVS from 2005-06-18 and apply this patch [1] (runs with 2.6.9/10/11). (cvs co -D 2005-06-18 dvb-kernel or cvs up -D 2005-06-18) Please report your results. Thank you and good luck ;). best regards, Patrick. [1] http://vaasa.wi-bw.tfh-wildau.de/~pboettch/home/files/fc-irq-check-01.patch -- Mail: patrick.boettcher(a)desy.de WWW: http://www.wi-bw.tfh-wildau.de/~pboettch/
