1.3.27 vs 1.3.26
by tony 22 Jul '05

22 Jul '05

Moving back to 1.3.26 has stopped VDR from quitting... I can no replay recordings and will see if VDR stays up over the next 24 hours. I trashed epg.data before restarting with 1.3.26 and have lots more channels that I had with 1.3.27. Tony

possible busy loop in cDvbPlayer::Action?
by Martin Wache 22 Jul '05

22 Jul '05

Hi Klaus, hi list, we have since some time reports on bad performance and a jerky picture when replaying a recording with the vdr and the softdevice as output device. Finally we've been able to track the problem down: It seems to arise when the softdevices buffers are not full, so that Poll() doesn't sleep (since the softdevice still can accept data), but vdr has no more frames to send to the softdevice. In this case the loop inside of cDevbPlayer::Action will busy loop until there are frames again. This seems to happen only for very fast CPUs, and I guess it can also happen for other output devices. I thought about letting the softdevice sleep even when the buffers are not full, but I think the correct solution would be that vdr sleep in case it doesn't have some frames to send. Or did I get the Poll() function wrong? Should Poll() sleep in any case? I attached a patch which causes vdr to sleep in case it doesn't have more frames to send. This cures the problem for the softdevice users. You can find the corresponding thread in the softdevice mailling lists archive: https://lists.berlios.de/pipermail/softdevice-devel/2005q2/000902.html and https://lists.berlios.de/pipermail/softdevice-devel/2005q3/000913.html Bye, Martin --- dvbplayer.c.orig Fri Jul 1 15:14:49 2005 +++ dvbplayer.c Fri Jul 1 15:16:50 2005 @@ -497,6 +497,7 @@ p = NULL; } } + else Sleep=true; } } active = running = false;

SVDRP with PHP
by Lauri Tischler 21 Jul '05

21 Jul '05

Been trying to connect to vdrbox with php, some luck :( Following works, in vdr log the connections opened and closed. ----- $fp = fsockopen ("vdr.myhome.dom", 2001, &$errnro, &$errstr, 30); if ($fp) { fputs ($fp, "QUIT\n"); fclose($fp); } ----- Following just hangs there until timed out by vdr. ----- $fp = fsockopen ("vdr.myhome.dom", 2001, &$errnro, &$errstr, 30); if ($fp) { fputs ($fp, "LSTC MTV\n\n"); while (!feof($fp)) { $buf = fgets($fp, 1024); echo $buf; } fputs ($fp, "QUIT\n"); fclose($fp); } ----- Any hints ?

My epg.data is about 15MB, and VDR 1.3.27 works perfectly. Are you sure, that is the problem? Greets skiller2k1

Reducing clutter in channels.conf
by Lauri Tischler 21 Jul '05

21 Jul '05

Two ways of doing this would be nice. 1) Menu selection for TVonly 2) Using ca.conf file to define wanted channels, only channels with defined caid are loaded, like: 0x0..0xFF Free To Air # 0x100..0x1FF Seca/Mediaguard # 0x900..0x9FF NDS/Videoguard 0xB00..0xBFF Conax # 0xD00..0xDFF CryptoWorks # 0xE00..0xEFF PowerVu # 0x1800..0x18FF Nagravision With ca.conf file above only FTA and Conax channels would be updated/collected to channels.conf -- lwgt(a)iki.fi * Using HTML-mail is like breaking wind in a church * 60.2N 24.7E * it is not illegal, just extremely bad manners *

bug in channels.h?
by Matthias Lenk 21 Jul '05

21 Jul '05

Hello all, I was experimenting with VDR 1.3.27 and DVB-T reception and found an issue in channels.h. The alangs member of the class cChannel has MAXAPIDS elements. But in channels.c line 447 an element with index MAXAPIDS can be accessed. But the max index is of course MAXAPIDS - 1. This can have weird effects, so I suggest to increase the number of elements to MAXAPIDS + 1. The same is true for dlangs member of the cChannels class. Best Regards, Matthias Lenk
