[Announce] vdr-epgsearch-0.9.9
by Christian Wieninger 08 Jan '06

08 Jan '06

Hi, here's a new version, that also works with 1.3.38. - support for vdr-1.3.38 - search templates: the settings of a search are often quite the same as already done with other searches. You can now create templates that can be selected when editing a search (with key blue). A template can also be set as default. A new search will then get the default settings automatically. - extended setup with 'search templates' to manage the new templates - new action 'Use as template' to copy a search to the templates - setup option to display the subtitle in the schedules, thanks to Darren Salt for his patch - extension of feature 'Delete recordings after ... days' with 'Keep ... recordings'. This will asure, that last x recordings will not be deleted, even if they are expired. fixes: - the search timer feature 'Delete recordings after ... days' also deleted recordings that were edited. fixed now. Description and download: http://people.freenet.de/cwieninger/html/vdr-epg-search__english_.html wget: http://people.freenet.de/cwieninger/vdr-epgsearch-0.9.9.tgz BR, Christian

by Birgit & Andreas Böttger 08 Jan '06

08 Jan '06

Hi all, if I run (vanilla) vdr-1.3.38 I get the following message in syslog: Jan 8 17:32:40 vdr vdr[22782]: ERROR: /video: Keine Berechtigung Back to old vdr-1.3.37, all is ok. My /video is a soft link to /data/video vdr:/ # ll /video lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 11 2006-01-08 17:06 /video -> /data/video vdr:/ # ll /data | grep video drwxrwxrwx 12 root users 4096 2006-01-08 16:39 video but this error occurs also with a normal /video. The call stat(DirName, &ds) in tools.c, method DirectoryOk returns -1. Hmm, can anyone give me a hint please? kind regards Andreas Böttger

vdr-1.3.38 Patches for Playerplugins (MsgReplaying)
by Andreas Brachold 08 Jan '06

08 Jan '06

Hi, i collected a patchset for some player plugins. My motive is a common used of the change interface of cStatus::MsgReplaying => Replaying I would generally wished a using like for starting: cStatus::MsgReplaying(this, "Pluginname", // to identify player "Playbacked filetitle or name", true); // bool bPlayback_started and stopping : cStatus::MsgReplaying(this, "Pluginname", NULL, false); //bool bPlayback_stopped so that now Plugins like GraphLCD-Plugin recognition which player was started. Too show matching images or animations on there display. -------------------------------- A totally other idee as solution is a function that every player cControl must overloaded : class cControl : public cOsdObject { const char* GetPlayerTitle() const = 0; } vdr/dvbplayer.h const char* cDvbPlayerControl::GetPlayerTitle() const { return "VDR"; } PLUGIN/src/image/control-image.h const char* cImagePlayerControl::GetPlayerTitle() const { return "IMAGE"; } Andreas

gettid build failure fix for 1.3.38
by Ville Skyttä 08 Jan '06

08 Jan '06

The attached patch fixes the build of 1.3.38 for me on Fedora Core 4 and 5test; glibc 2.3.5/gcc 4.0.2 and glibc 2.3.90/gcc 4.1.0. Without it, the build fails saying "'gettid' has not been defined" on both systems.

Getting rid of FW_NEEDS_BUFFER_RESERVE_FOR_AC3
by Klaus Schmidinger 08 Jan '06

08 Jan '06

In recent versions of the firmware for FF DVB cards (actually IIRC since mid 2005) Werner Fink has greatly improved syncing audio and video in AC3 mode. Therefore the "buffer reserve" in cTransfer::Action() should no longer be necessary. I'd like to get rid of this stuff entirely, so if there's anybody who has a reason why this should still be left in there, please speak up. For a quick test it is sufficient to add the line bool GotBufferReserve = false; GotBufferReserve = true;//XXX (marked with XXX) in transfer.c. Klaus

vdr-1.3.38 and plugin install
by Andreas Brachold 08 Jan '06

08 Jan '06

Hi, i failed over install plugins via make plugin-install. The define PLUGINLIBDIR=/opt/vdr-1.3.38/lib for gcc are correct used. But plugins installed under /opt/vdr-1.3.38/bin/opt/vdr-1.3.38/lib from my Make.config ### The directory environment: PREFIX = /opt/vdr-1.3.38 MANDIR = $(PREFIX)/man BINDIR = $(PREFIX)/bin PLUGINLIBDIR= $(PREFIX)/lib And i wonder why "make plugins-clean" delete my installed plugins, and not the plugins on build directory. I've attached a possible solution. Cu, Andreas

vdr-1.3.38 and master-timer ?
by Gregoire Favre 08 Jan '06

08 Jan '06

Hello, as I can't live anymore without master-timer, I would like to know if the change in vdr-1.3.38 breaks master-timer support ? And by the way, on 11 Dec 2005, Olaf Titz wrote on this ml a patch : --- vdr-1.3.37/epg.c~ 2005-11-11 14:37:43.000000000 +0100 +++ vdr-1.3.37/epg.c 2005-12-09 20:54:31.000000000 +0100 @@ -882,6 +882,12 @@ lastCleanup = now; ReportEpgBugFixStats(true); } + struct stat st; + if (!epgDataFileName || stat (epgDataFileName,&st) != 0) { + lastDump = 0; + } else { + lastDump = st.st_mtime; + } if (epgDataFileName && now - lastDump > 600) { cSafeFile f(epgDataFileName); if (f.Open()) { It should allow a force to save the EPG, I have done lots of test to try to really force it, but without success, for example like this : Kill vdr rm -f /video0/epg.data run vdr zap a lots under vdr such that EPG gets full touch -r /bin/bash /video0/epg.data sleep 60 ls -al /video0/epg.data still reports "0" as size...

-u in 1.3.38 -> no core dumps?
by Ville Skyttä 08 Jan '06

08 Jan '06

FYI: I had played with Ludwig Nussel's "su" patch in the past, and noticed that the setuid() stuff prevents VDR from dumping core in case of crashes. I haven't really tested it yet, but from skimming the code it looks like the -u implementation included in 1.3.38 might have the same feature too. Of course, no core dumps on crashes makes debugging problems a lot harder :( Doing something like prctl(PR_SET_DUMPABLE, 1, 0, 0, 0) after setuid() and setgid() should fix it, but there may be security implications to consider (whose implications in case of VDR are probably pretty small, but there's a reason why setuid/setgid things don't dump core by default...). In kernels >= 2.6.13, "2" instead of "1" in the above would be available too, which would be quite a bit better. Of course, the simplest "fix" for 1.3.38 would be to not even start it as root; no setuid/setgid -> no (new) problems getting core dumps. More info: PR_SET_DUMPABLE in "man prctl", and http://lwn.net/Articles/104341/ (I'm not sure if that has been applied; mabe it has in >= 2.6.13). Apologies beforehand if the above doesn't apply to VDR 1.3.38; as said, I haven't actually tested it but thought I'd report it while I remember.

Hello, I need some help in understanding the event id of epd.data (or for LSTE/PUTE via SVDRP) : if I want to send some epg to populate the EPG, how should I choose the event id ? Thank you very much, -- Grégoire FAVRE
