tt-pci wierdness (RequestParameter error)
by Steve Brown 25 Aug '05

25 Aug '05

Hi all, Suddenly on Saturday afternoon, my FF tt-pci card has failed by the looks of it. It's been in the same installation for a couple of years with nothing like this previously. It's in a Via M10000 EPIA board. I searched the archives and found a thread from 2003 where sombody else reported the same problem, and there was a sugegstion of adding 'acpi=force pci=npapic' in the boot parameters. I've tried that and it doesn't make any difference. Note the wierdness with the reported device 'AV7111526255234(0)' Below is an extract from the syslog. Any ideas?

dvd-burn and imlib2 errors
by Simon Baxter 25 Aug '05

25 Aug '05

Hi. I'm trying to get the DVD burner plugin working, but have some Imlib2 problems. The logs say : BURN: Couldn't load image /video/vdr-1.3.27/plugins/burn/menu-bg.png imlib2 error code 14 BURN: Couldn't load image /video/vdr-1.3.27/plugins/burn/menu-bg-0.png imlib2 error code 4 BURN: Subprocess watcher stopped When I do a 'imlib2_test' I get Segmentation Fault Although the README says tested with Imlib2 1.0.5 I'm using 1.2.0 because I wasn't sure of the affect of downgrading. How do I use this library? Can I recover the DVD-burn job once imlib2 is fixed? Thanks

softdevice + directfb gives black screen
by Per Mellander 25 Aug '05

25 Aug '05

EPIA system with kernel 2.4.25 + epia2 patch DirectFB-0.9.22 ffmpeg-0.4.8 DFB++-0.9.22 vdr-1.3.30 softdevice-CVS ( 20050823 ) alsa-1.0.9 One installation is based on a stripped down RH9 with gcc 3.2.2 20030222 (RedHat). The other is a Core Linux install with gcc 3.2. I have used the exact same software packages for both installations. viafb is loaded without any parameters ( modprobe viafb ) On the RedHat installation I can run vdr -P"softdevice -vo dfb:" and I get a picture on my TFT. Then I reboot with the Core Linux install and I only get a black screen after starting vdr. I have the same directfbrc, the same fb.modes but I just can't get it to work on the Core Linux system. The output log is attached. When vdr is running ( with a black screen ) I get the following: # fbset -i mode "800x600-96" # D: 36.000 MHz, H: 33.834 kHz, V: 96.394 Hz geometry 800 600 800 1200 32 timings 27778 56 80 79 11 128 12 hsync high vsync high laced true rgba 8/16,8/8,8/0,8/24 endmode Frame buffer device information: Name : Via CLE266 Address : 0xd8000000 Size : 33554432 Type : PACKED PIXELS Visual : TRUECOLOR XPanStep : 0 YPanStep : 1 YWrapStep : 0 LineLength : 3200 MMIO Address: 0xdc000000 MMIO Size : 16777216 Accelerator : Unknown (77) The only difference as I see it is the compiler ( 3.2.2-redhat versus 3.2 ). Any clues?

Streamdev questions
by Peace Monk 25 Aug '05

25 Aug '05

Hi, I got streamdev working with vdr-1.3.30, and I am able to tune to a channel via VLC media player on a windows box via URL http://htpc:3000/PS/275. This works fine, however, I am not able to change the channel on TV anymore, and keeps locked onto 275 until I close the VLC client. Is there a way to allow VDR to change the channel via remote (or vdradmin), and thus streamdev also starts streaming the channel I switch to? Also, how can I invoke a VDR recording say from a VLC client? Thanks, Monk.

which USB card??
by Linux TV homemaillist 24 Aug '05

24 Aug '05

Hi group. I'm using a Nova-T DVB card internally in my VDR box, but want an analog card to sample video from my VCR, digitising old tapes, and video camera and other analog sources. It doesn't need to have a tuner, ideally just audio and video (RCA) in, and will only occasionally be connected to the VDR box. Can anyone recommend a cheap card with good support? Should I be doing this with VDR? Any ideas? Thanks Simon

feature request - svdrp new features.
by jik jikman 24 Aug '05

24 Aug '05

Hi, I've a recording box with 3 skystar2 cards in it. I think it is good idea to add new commands to svdrp to make it more complete. for example: RST: to restart vdr program. PDVB: to set primary dvb device or report wich card is set now. LSCT: to list timers that currently writing data to disk. I've many difficulties to scan signal on a specific card ( I must set primary dvb by telnet plugin) , I can't find wich timers currently writing ( I must check time of all of timers) and I also must restart my box by remotely login to it , now. Thanks. jikjikman.

Avoiding the tuner on a broken FF card
by Gavin Hamill 24 Aug '05

24 Aug '05

Hi :) I have a FF DVB-C and a budget DVB-C, (they're both ves1820 devices) and the tuner on the FF card is v unreliable - I would like to avoid using it entirely. Is there a magic one-line hack for VDR to bypass the device-selection logic and always use a specific device, and hence always force transfer mode from the budget card to the MPEG decoder on the FF card? Cheers, Gavin.

[ANNOUNCE] vdr-xine-0.7.5 plugin
by Reinhard Nissl 23 Aug '05

23 Aug '05

Hi, I'm pleased to announce maintenance release 0.7.5: http://home.vr-web.de/~rnissl/vdr-xine-0.7.5.tgz Due to the changes in xine's CVS I've released this version earlier than I had planned. As a result, the known issue concerning the delay in playback when switching to trick speed mode is still not solved, but maybe it has improved a little bit. 2005-08-14: Version 0.7.5 - Added documentation about gxine's VDR support to MANUAL (thanks to Darren Salt for supplying the patch). - Fixed xine-plugin to update audio stream bitrate and decoder. - Removed singleton enforcement of xine-plugin as it caused problems with xine's post plugin management (suggested by Darren Salt). - Added support to select left / right audio channel by audio post plugin 'vdr_audio'. - Added audio post plugin support to xine-ui and fbxine which was needed for the new audio post plugin vdr_audio. - Renamed video post plugin 'vdr' to 'vdr_video' to match naming scheme, but it also registered as 'vdr' to maintain compatibility. - Created audio post plugin 'upmix_mono' to turn a mono stream into a stereo one with identical data on both sides (requested by Lucian Muresan). - Fixed some endianness problems in OSD code (thanks to Carsten Rietzschel for reporting this issue). - Fixed some compiler warnings with gcc-4.0.1 and gcc-4.1 (thanks to Eric OUEDRAOGO for reporting this issue). - Updated plugin to match interface changes in VDR-1.3.27 (thanks to C.Y.M for reporting this issue). - Fixed implementation of cDevice::Clear() which didn't ensure that really all data (i. e. the data which is just in the FIFO or socket) get's cleared. This might improve switching to trickspeed mode. - Updated MANUAL about using vdr_audio post plugin. For this release I suggest the following xine sources: http://home.vr-web.de/~rnissl/xine-lib-cvs-20050814180000.tar.bz2 http://home.vr-web.de/~rnissl/xine-ui-cvs-20050814180000.tar.bz2 Highly recommended is the following patch: http://home.vr-web.de/~rnissl/vdr-1.3.28-dvbplayer.patch http://home.vr-web.de/~rnissl/vdr-1.2.6-dvbplayer3.patch Enjoy. Bye. -- Dipl.-Inform. (FH) Reinhard Nissl mailto:rnissl@gmx.de

Re: [vdr] ttxtsub problem with vdr >= 1.3.28

Well, nice to hear that it works for someone. However, Frank K. sent me info about possible cause and users suffering from the problem are adviced to apply the attached patch with reverse (-R). It removes the added ability to open directly audio selection menu and volumebar when subtitling is active, but I cannot see why this would help :) Anyway, if this really cures your system, please, don't keep it secret.
