Watchdog Problems with vdr-1.3.40
by Helmut Auer 29 Jan '06

29 Jan '06

Hello list, I've just installed the em84xx plugin - yes the realmagic driver is now working under kernel 2.6 :-) For using the em84xx plugin I have to disable the watchdog timeout, otherwise it will kill vdr every some minutes. The watchdog is set to 60 seconds, and even is zapping is working the watchdog strikes back: Jan 29 21:03:27 [vdr] [6887] switching to channel 7 Jan 29 21:03:34 [vdr] [6887] switching to channel 6 Jan 29 21:03:35 [vdr] [6887] switching to channel 5 Jan 29 21:03:36 [vdr] [6887] switching to channel 4 Jan 29 21:03:38 [vdr] [6887] switching to channel 3 Jan 29 21:04:03 [vdr] [6898] PANIC: watchdog timer expired - exiting! or even harder: Jan 29 21:01:25 [vdr] [6143] ERROR (dvbdevice.c,211): Connection timed out Jan 29 21:01:26 [vdr] [6144] channel 6 (SAT.1) event 20:15 'Jumanji' status 4 Jan 29 21:01:27 [vdr] [6144] channel 7 (ProSieben) event 20:16 'Catch Me If You Can' status 4 Jan 29 21:01:27 [vdr] [6144] channel 8 (KABEL1) event 20:15 'Sag niemals nie' status 4 Jan 29 21:01:29 [kernel] [ring0 received 5000 interrupts so far (skipped 1 for other devices sharing line)] Jan 29 21:02:06 [vdr] [6137] switching to channel 7 Jan 29 21:02:12 [vdr] [6137] switching to channel 8 Jan 29 21:02:35 [vdr] [6137] switching to channel 9 Jan 29 21:02:36 [vdr] [6253] cAudioRepacker(0xC0): skipped 306 bytes while syncing on next audio frame Jan 29 21:02:40 [vdr] [6137] switching to channel 10 Jan 29 21:02:40 [vdr] [6148] PANIC: watchdog timer expired - exiting! ok - channel 10 is a Premiere Channel and I do not have a card, but why does this result in an immediate watchdog exit? I thought that the watchdog will wait at least for the given time ( -w 60 ). -- Helmut Auer, helmut(a)helmutauer.de

1.3.39, "Menu button closes" true: No menu from replay
by Udo Richter 29 Jan '06

29 Jan '06

Hi Klaus, With 1.3.39 and "Menu button closes" set to true, the main menu doesn't open if any replay control is active. The attached patch fixes this by resetting a !IsOpen cControl to WasOpen=false.

cVideoRepacker: found system start code: stream seems to be scrambled or not demultiplexed
by Martin Dauskardt 29 Jan '06

29 Jan '06

I am pretty sure that this problem apperars in one of the last three vdr-versions: Recording from hr3 with DVB-C: Jan 28 12:26:10 linvdr user.err vdr: [3078] cVideoRepacker: found system start code: stream seems to be scrambled or not demul Jan 28 12:26:44 linvdr user.info vdr: [2997] timer 2 (4 1640-1750 'Smallville') set to event Sam 28.01.2006 16:15-16:50 'Ritas Jan 28 12:29:55 linvdr user.info vdr: [3016] channel 25 (hr-fernsehen) event 12:30 'c't magazin' status 4 Jan 28 12:30:01 linvdr cron.notice crond[3038]: USER root pid 3080 cmd convert.pl -q -s Jan 28 12:30:36 linvdr syslog.info -- MARK -- Jan 28 12:33:50 linvdr user.info vdr: [3013] channel 7 (RTL2) event 12:25 'In guten wie in schweren Tagen' status 4 Jan 28 12:35:01 linvdr cron.notice crond[3038]: USER root pid 3081 cmd convert.pl -q -s Jan 28 12:35:38 linvdr user.debug vdr: [3078] PES packet shortened to 1656 bytes (expected: 1840 bytes) Jan 28 12:35:38 linvdr user.err vdr: [3078] cAudioRepacker(0xC0): skipped 392 bytes to sync on next audio frame Jan 28 12:40:01 linvdr cron.notice crond[3038]: USER root pid 3082 cmd convert.pl -q -s Jan 28 12:41:06 linvdr user.err vdr: [3078] cVideoRepacker: found system start code: stream seems to be scrambled or not demul Jan 28 12:43:29 linvdr user.info vdr: [3013] channel 4 (RTL Television) event 12:40 'Hor mal, wer da hammert!' status 4 Jan 28 12:43:45 linvdr user.debug vdr: [3078] PES packet shortened to 1656 bytes (expected: 1840 bytes) BER according to femon is below 400, this should be good enough. I never noticed this with recordings on the DVB-T-device. On vdrportal three guys reported the same problem.

cUnbufferedFile and NFS mounted video dir
by Andreas Holzhammer - GMX 29 Jan '06

29 Jan '06

Hi, I'm using a diskless VDR 1.3.38 and noticed that during recordings the network is saturated for 1-2 seconds every 30 seconds. I haven't seen this with 1.3.22, so I asume this might be related to the cUnbufferedFile class in 1.3.35+. This leads to very uneven load on the vdr client (and the NFS-Server), where I've seen 10000 interrupts per second during the flushes (a few hundred irqs in between). I'm not sure whether this contributes to some of my recordings being broken (c*Repacker errors), but I'd like to distribute the writes more evenly. Is there a way to get cUnbufferedFile to write the data every second, er even continuously? The NFS-server is going to take care of writing the data to disk anyway. Andreas

Hook up a projector and channels disappear...
by Sami Taipale 29 Jan '06

29 Jan '06

Hi, I'm having weird problems with my vdr box. It has been working fine for a long time now, but a week ago some channels stopped showing. EPG data was there, but the picture was blank and there was no sound. Problematic channels were all in the same transponder (not sure if this is the correct term, kanavanippu in Finnish). I started investigating the problem today and noticed that if I hook up my video projector to the vdr-box the channels won't show. If the projector is not hooked up, the channels show OK (I checked this with vdradmin). Has anybody else had similar problems? How did you solve them? I have a spare display adapter and I might give it a try tomorrow. The most puzzling thing here is the fact that the vdr-box has worked fine for quite some time before this. I'm using LinVDR 0.7 with kernel 2.6.12. -Sami-
