High CPU Load when pausing replay (Privat)
by christian jacobsen 08 Sep '05

08 Sep '05

Hallo, I have noticed something strange. When I pause Replay I have a quite High CPU load of 10% on a P3 933MHz. Normal load on Replay is between 3 to 7%. I posted here first (Test Firmware Thread) : http://www.vdr-portal.de/board/thread.php?sid=&postid=355452#post355452 But Werner is quite sure that the Firmware is in freeze state and doing nothing. I think it must be a DVB-Driver or maybe a VDR problem. Can anyone confirm this ? Tested with : - Vanilla VDR-1.3.25 + dvb-kernel-20050324 + fw-1.4 - VDR 1.3.28 m. div. patches + dvb-kernel-20050324 + fw-261d - VDR 1.3.29 m. div. patches + dvb-kernel-20050826 + fw-2620 No noticable difference between these. More Infos on my system under the above link (in signature). Greetings Christian Jacobsen

You could use Master-Timer or the EPGsearch plugin (or vdradmin ?? not sure) to auto-programm timers. That way you can decide where the recordings are stored from the beginning. http://mt.citd.de/ http://people.freenet.de/cwieninger/html/vdr-epg-search__english_.html Or you can use AutoCutter to move them while cutting (German site, but Englisch README) : http://www.vdr-portal.de/board/thread.php?threadid=34583&sid= Greetings Christian Jacobsen

Yet another question about Softdevice -- OSD flashing
by Norm Dressler 08 Sep '05

08 Sep '05

Hi again, I thought it was all working great-- on the computer, I fire up vdr, use the menus etc., no problem -- everything displays great. I then redirect the output of the video to the second display in full screen, and my audio to my second sound card. When I try to pull up the menu or any OSD, the OSD portion flashes very quickly. Any suggestions? Did I miss something? /data/src/vdr/vdr -P"softdevice -ao alsa:plughw:1,0 -vo xv:full" -Pfemon -Pyaepg I can't catch anything in the output screen to see if it's generating an error or not... Norm

There is a plugin or menu option in VDR to manage recordings? For example I want to store all the same episodes from the same series in the same folder. It's possible with VDR? Thanks

Softdevice Audio Device
by Norm Dressler 07 Sep '05

07 Sep '05

Hi again, Softdevice is working but I can't select the sound card I want to output too. I don't know what its looking for exactly. My command is sudo LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.1;DISPLAY=:0.1;/data/src/vdr/vdr -P"softdevice -ao alsa:intel8x0 -vo xv:full" -Pfemon -Pyaepg [softdevice] ffmpeg version(0.4.9-pre1) build(4718) [XvVideoOut]: displayAspect = 1.334975, displayRatio = 1.333333, PAR = 1.001232 [XvVideoOut]: max area size 2046 x 2046 [XvVideoOut]: using area size 736 x 576 [softdevice] Subplugin successfully opend [softdevice] Video Out seems to be OK [softdevice] Initializing Audio Out ALSA lib pcm.c:2090:(snd_pcm_open_noupdate) Unknown PCM intel8x0 I have a sound blaster Audigy -0- its my default sound card, or alsa card 0, and I have an intel8x0 sound card as alsa card 1. I tried -ao alsa:1 but it doesn't understand what I want. What device name is it looking for? BTW, I have the sVideo port on my computer setup as a second display on my X-Server, hence the DISPLAY=:0.1 -- this works just fine so far. I only need to output to the second audio card and I'm good to go :) Norm

I was able to get the latest version of softdevice working but I'm getting the following outputed to the window where I started VDR: [mpeg2video @ 0x406206a8]Warning MVs not available [mpeg2video @ 0x406206a8]invalid mb type in P Frame at 17 15 [mpeg2video @ 0x406206a8]concealing 2147483647 errors [mpeg2video @ 0x406206a8]MPEG motion vector out of boundary [mpeg2video @ 0x406206a8]MPEG motion vector out of boundary [mpeg2video @ 0x406206a8]MPEG motion vector out of boundary Is this anything to be worried about? Am I missing a library that I should have? Thanks Norm

softdevice+softplay and ffmpeg
by Tony Houghton 07 Sep '05

07 Sep '05

I tried the softdevice plugin today. It worked fairly well considering it hasn't really been designed to output to a TV, which has different sync requirements from a monitor. The A/V sync was close enough and there were few enough frame jumps to make it quite watchable. However, softplay wouldn't work properly with the XVid files I tried, only showing a few corrupt frames. I'm pretty sure it's an ffmpeg problem because there were similar problems with some things I've been doing myself with ffmpeg lately - I haven't got as far as displaying the frames, but it does seem to keep stalling while decoding and the Debian package version was complaining about "VOP not coded" all the time. Anyway, I tried upgrading from the Debian libavcodec to the latest CVS, to make sure I don't annoy anyone if and when I report this problem on the ffmpeg mailing list, and then softdevice wouldn't work. It just shows a frozen picture with the initial OSD caption you get when starting to play a channel. softplay wouldn't compile either but I just needed to change . to -> in a few places. So will there be a new softdevice and softplay compatible with the latest ffmpeg soon? -- TH * http://www.realh.co.uk

[OT] vdr and HDTV what's working (and not)?
by Tomas Prybil 07 Sep '05

07 Sep '05

Hi all! We have now a working HDTV feed here no by the polar bears ;) Canal+ have a channel named "Canal+ More HD" that sends a couple of films every night. I've seen some threads in the past trying to get a working setup. Maybe you all have working solutions, but I'm still trying to get something working. Right now the status for me is as follows. Kernel 2.6.12 with matrox G450 and fb device budget card with CI vdr-1.3.31 Which gives me a working recording setup. I haven't yet been able to setup a working frontend for viewing (HD). With fbxine/vidix and the xine-plugin i can watch normal feed perfectly well but as soon as i switch to the HD feed the box goes boom. Not even a smallest kernel panic or trace. The machine just looks up completely. It's reproduceable with cmdline fbxine (fbxine 0.99.3) and a vdr file. Viewing the vdr files with mplayer/vidix works OK but takes all CPU cyles of a 3Ghz PIV. Would directfb make that any better? /t
