problem with VDR 1.3.39
by Peter Juszack 17 Jan '06

17 Jan '06

Hi list, after updating to 1.3.39 vdr did react on keys any more. With 1.3.38 everything worked fine. in syslog I discovered the following Jan 16 13:47:32 fontina vdr[4440]: ERROR: unknown plugin 'snapshot' Jan 16 13:48:03 fontina last message repeated 341237 times Jan 16 13:48:05 fontina last message repeated 33642 times after some searching I discovered that the snapshot plugin remained in the keymacros.conf allthough I have uninstalled it. After I tidied up the keymacros.conf everything is fine. Regards Peter

Problem with Remote Wonder and VDR :(
by Chris Miles 17 Jan '06

17 Jan '06

I have built and installed LIRC with the configure switch for the AT Usb device. I have /dev/lircd and /dev/lirc0 - permissions are correct. I have a lircd.conf which is setup correctly for my remote control. lircd would not run because /dev/lirc did not exist so I just created a symlink to lirc0 which works fine. I can execute lircd fine. irw executes as well and catches all the remote control presses so the remote control is working fine. I am using VDR 1.3.38 which I made with make REMOTE=LIRC NO_KBG=1 I then startup VDR and it wants to setup the RC unit... it does not recognise any button presses. /var/log/syslog is still saying setting up KBD ??? Jan 17 02:36:18 localhost vdr[6413]: remote control KBD - learning keys Jan 17 02:36:18 localhost vdr[6413]: KBD remote control thread started (pid=6413, tid=6422) I forced --lirc=/dev/lircd --no-kbd onto the command when I execute vdr. syslog now says Jan 17 02:24:57 localhost vdr[6367]: remote control LIRC - learning keys Jan 17 02:24:57 localhost vdr[6367]: LIRC remote control thread started (pid=6367, tid=6376) No other messages in the log but still not doing anything when I hit keys on the remote :( any ideas folks??

Bitstreamout not working, help?
by Ari Huttunen 17 Jan '06

17 Jan '06

Hi! Sorry to bother with possibly a stupid question, but I have VDR 1.3.something (the latest one in Ubuntu distro) and Bitstreamout (ditto), and.. well.. it doesn't work. VDR runs nicely with analog output, I have S/PDIF cable connected from motherboard's output to a Yamaha AV Receiver. I can play MP3s with VLC via S/PDIF to Yamaha and to the connected speakers. Bitstreamout is loaded, and I can tweak its parameters via the OSD; as far as I know the card/device parameters are correct. However, when I play TV (or recording) with VDR I can hear nothing on the speakers connected to the Yamaha? Help!? Thanks, Ari Huttunen

ANNOUNCE: graphlcd-0.1.3
by Andreas Regel 17 Jan '06

17 Jan '06

Hi, here is a new release of the GraphLCD base package and plugin for VDR. You can download the packages from the berlios project's file page: http://developer.berlios.de/project/showfiles.php?group_id=3566 Changes since 0.1.2: graphlcd-base: - Added a major.minor.micro version to the libraries starting with 1.0.0 - Moved usage of DESTDIR from serveral Makefiles to Make.config (thanks to Lucian Muresan). - Moved Freetype2 dependency from Make.config to Makefile of libglcdgraphics (thanks to Tobias Grimm). - Creating an additional symlink for the library files to be found during making the tools that need them (thanks to Tobias Grimm). - Updated serdisplib driver (thanks to Wolfgang Astleitner). - KS0108 driver: Added an alternative way of setting the display control lines (same as in old versions). It is selectable through graphlcd configfile parameter "Control". - Using default values for width and height in case they are zero, too (thanks to Tobias Grimm). - Added cSerialPort class. - Added driver for my AVR controlled display. vdr-graphlcd: - Don't replace newlines with spaces in text items any longer. - Rewritten cGraphLCDDisplay::WrapText(). It is much faster now. - Increased time to wait for display task to start (thanks to Andreas Brachold). - Explicitly set the current channel to prevent a crash if no channel logo was set (thanks to Andreas Brachold). - Added support for VDR version 1.3.38 and up (thanks to Andreas Brachold). - Added logos for cable and terrestrial channels and modified some of the old (thanks to Stefan Hußfeldt).

[ANNOUNCE] svdrp shutdown patch 0.1
by Matthias Schwarzott 16 Jan '06

16 Jan '06

Hallo! This is the first release of my "svdrp shutdown patch". It adds the new svdrp-command "DOWN". This command triggers an automatic shutdown like the one when reaching minuserinactivity. An optional given number is the additional time in minutes after which this shutdown should start by showing "press any key to abort shutdown" for 5min. It is mainly thought to replace svdrpsend.pl hitk power inside some scripts by svdrpsend.pl down to give the user 5minutes to abort shutdown instead of some seconds. Our primary use is inside the shutdown-script in the abort-case (for example there are user logged in) to trigger a shutdown-retry in 5 or 10 minutes.

OT: how do I use SUSE's debuginfo packages for debugging
by Reinhard Nissl 16 Jan '06

16 Jan '06

Hi, while developing vdr-xine, it seems that there is a deadlock situation in libasound. How can I make use of the alsa-debuginfo package? At the moment I run xine and when the deadlock happens, I start ddd and attach to that process. xine is at that time stuck in opening the audio device. The issue may be dmix related.

vdr-1.3.39 segfaults when inserting external epg data
by Malte Schröder 16 Jan '06

16 Jan '06

Hello, I use infosatepg + tvmovie2vdr to get epg-data some stations. This has been working with vdr-1.3.38, but vdr-1.3.39 segfaults when tvmovie2vdr starts sending the epg-data to vdr. I acquired a backtrace from a vanilla vdr-1.3.39 installation, only plugin was vdr-remote.

vdr-kbd eats cpu
by Andre Bischof 15 Jan '06

15 Jan '06

Hello, from one day to another my vdr (1.3.31) stopped working. It seems to be running fine as nothing appears in the logfiles (started with -l 3 6), but I have no video/sound and top shows a vdr-kbd eating cpu. I don't know how to track this, maybe I could try something with strace (how?)? Or could I check DVB-functions on hardware level? In the meantime between running and running I installed some debs, but as far as I know nothing which should interfere with vdr. Any suggestions what I could do? Output from logfile and top follows: Jan 14 12:24:10 linux vdr[13336]: VDR version 1.3.31 started Jan 14 12:24:10 linux vdr[13336]: loading plugin: /usr/lib/vdr/plugins/libvdr-dxr3.so.1.3.31 Jan 14 12:24:10 linux vdr[13336]: loading /var/lib/vdr/setup.conf Jan 14 12:24:10 linux vdr[13336]: loading /var/lib/vdr/sources.conf Jan 14 12:24:10 linux vdr[13336]: loading /var/lib/vdr/diseqc.conf Jan 14 12:24:10 linux vdr[13336]: loading /var/lib/vdr/channels.conf Jan 14 12:24:10 linux vdr[13336]: loading /var/lib/vdr/timers.conf Jan 14 12:24:10 linux vdr[13336]: loading /var/lib/vdr/commands.conf Jan 14 12:24:10 linux vdr[13336]: loading /var/lib/vdr/reccmds.conf Jan 14 12:24:10 linux vdr[13336]: loading /var/lib/vdr/svdrphosts.conf Jan 14 12:24:10 linux vdr[13336]: loading /var/lib/vdr/ca.conf Jan 14 12:24:10 linux vdr[13336]: loading /var/lib/vdr/remote.conf Jan 14 12:24:10 linux vdr[13336]: loading /var/lib/vdr/keymacros.conf Jan 14 12:24:10 linux vdr[13336]: reading EPG data from /var/cache/vdr/epg.data Jan 14 12:24:10 linux vdr[13336]: probing /dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0 Jan 14 12:24:11 linux vdr[13336]: found 1 video device 2Jan 14 12:24:11 linux vdr[13336]: initializing plugin: dxr3 (0.2.4): Hardware MPEG decoder Jan 14 12:24:11 linux vdr[13339]: tuner on device 1 thread started (pid=13339, tid=16386) Jan 14 12:24:11 linux vdr[13340]: Section handler thread started (pid=13340, tid=32771) Jan 14 12:24:12 linux vdr[13336]: dxr3: configure: video mode: PAL Jan 14 12:24:12 linux vdr[13336]: dxr3: intf: brightness=500,contrast=500,saturation=500 at init Jan 14 12:24:12 linux vdr[13341]: DXR3 audio output thread started (pid=13341, tid=49156) Jan 14 12:24:12 linux vdr[13342]: DXR3 video output thread started (pid=13342, tid=65541) Jan 14 12:24:12 linux vdr[13336]: setting primary device to 2 Jan 14 12:24:12 linux vdr[13336]: SVDRP listening on port 2001 Jan 14 12:24:12 linux vdr[13336]: loading /var/lib/vdr/themes/classic-default.theme Jan 14 12:24:12 linux vdr[13336]: starting plugin: dxr3 Jan 14 12:24:12 linux vdr[13336]: loading /var/lib/vdr/themes/classic-default.theme Jan 14 12:24:12 linux vdr[13336]: ERROR: /dev/lircd: No such file or directory Jan 14 12:24:12 linux vdr[13336]: ERROR: remote control LIRC not ready!

by Christian Wieninger 15 Jan '06

15 Jan '06

Hi, here's a small update: 2006-01-15: Version 0.9.10 new: - update of all schedule and search result menus after creating/changing a timer, as introduced in vdr-1.3.38 - button 'Record' now labeled with 'Record' or 'Timer' depending on existing timer for the event, as introduced in vdr-1.3.38 - epgsearch's own timer edit menu now displays the recording device number for a currently recording timer - new setup option: 'Add episode to manual timers' affects adding the subtitle to the timer file in manual timer programming. The setting 'smart' skips the subtitle if the event has more that 80 min. - search edit menu for search timers changed for future extensions: 'Action' now selects the job to do for the search results, currently 'record' (default) or 'announce only' - thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg for finnish translation update fixes: - in vdr-1.3.38 some translations were broken - updated the timercmds-patches to work with vdr-1.3.38 Description and download: http://people.freenet.de/cwieninger/html/vdr-epg-search__english_.html wget: http://people.freenet.de/cwieninger/vdr-epgsearch-0.9.10.tgz BR, Christian
