zap.tartarus.org currently down (so no new VDR .debs)
by Darren Salt 16 Aug '05

16 Aug '05

zap.tartarus.org is currently down. It was moved last week and hasn't been right since. I can't access it and have no idea when it'll be back up. Until it's back up, you can find my current .diff.gz and .dsc files here: <URL:http://www.youmustbejoking.demon.co.uk/tmp/> You'll need to get source from upstream and build whichever packages you want yourself. I don't have space for all of the source, never mind the .debs... For vdr, the suggested build/install order is this: Build … [View More]

VDR 1.3.26 worked like a > charm... It's the same switch by which you could enable it in VDR-1.3.27 (TEST_cVideoRepacker, remux.c:1279). But please help me fix this issue instead of turning it off. Strange is the timestamp 20:12:02: at this time, cVideoRepacker seems to be in sync, but for any reason, it seems to process no more data as at 20:12:32 the recording is aborted with "ERROR: video data stream broken" which indidates, that the recorder didn't see any data for 30 seconds. Simon Baxter sent me a similar report, but with debug code inserted which showed that cVideoRepacker wasn't completely stuck. Is it easy for you to trigger this issue? I've tried two simultanuous timers plus watching a recording but couldn't trigger the issue. Please add the following 4 lines, which are marked with "<========" to the appropriate source locations (cRepacker::Put(), cVideoRepacker::Repack()) in remux.c and send me the output when the problem happens again. static int Put(.....) { esyslog(">>>>> cRepacker::Put(%d)", Count); // <============ int n = ResultBuffer->Put(Data, Count); if (n != Count) esyslog(.....); esyslog("<<<<< cRepacker::Put"); // <============ return n; } . . . void cVideoRepacker::Repack(.....) { esyslog(">>>>> cVideoRepacker::Repack(%d)", Count); // <============ // synchronisation is detected some bytes after frame start. const int SkippedBytesLimit = 4; // reset local scanner localStart = -1; . . . // report that syncing dropped some bytes if (skippedBytes > SkippedBytesLimit) { esyslog(.....); skippedBytes = SkippedBytesLimit; } esyslog("<<<<< cVideoRepacker::Repack()"); // <============ } Bye. -- Dipl.-Inform.

Transfer mode and a motorised dish
by Malcolm Caldwell 15 Aug '05

15 Aug '05

Hello, I get the feeling that 1.4 might be getting close - so I though I should speak up now. I have a request: find a way to fix transfer mode while using a motorised dish. I have a dxr3 based system and a motorized dish. The problem is vdr only waits a few seconds (TUNER_LOCK_TIMEOUT set in device.c) before it reports "ERROR: device %d has no lock" and gives up. This makes it fairly painful. I have to change channel, wait for the dish to move and then go "menu->channels->OK" to re-… [View More]
