*** glibc detected *** double free or corruption
by C.Y.M 09 Apr '06

09 Apr '06

On occasion, when stopping VDR, I get the following error in my console: *** glibc detected *** double free or corruption (!prev): 0x081f33c0 *** This error has to do with installing the new version of glibc (2.3.6-5) with VDR. Has anyone else noticed this? BR.

Record Audio channels?
by Mlists 08 Apr '06

08 Apr '06

Is there a plugin that will allow me to record audio channels to mp3 or similar? It would be good too if it recognized 'silence' to start a new file. Norm

Can't connect to vdr (xine)
by Gregoire Favre 08 Apr '06

08 Apr '06

Hello, from time to time, I have the message : - xine engine error - There is no input plugin available to handle `vdr:/tmp/vdr-xine/stream#demux:mpeg_pes`. Maybe MRL syntax is wrong or file/stream source doesn't exist. And /tmp/vdr-xine/ doesn't exist ??? But xine plugin is running... -- Grégoire FAVRE http://gregoire.favre.googlepages.com

Hello I'm running vdr 1.3.44 with externalplayer 0.1.0 on a Celeron M @ 1.3 Ghz and a dxr3 card. It works OK, excepting the high cpu load.

[ANNOUNCE] VDRAdmin-AM-3.4.4
by Andreas Mair 07 Apr '06

07 Apr '06

Hi, you can download the latest release at http://andreas.vdr-developer.org/en The French translation is currently outdated and unmaintained. If someone wants to continue that work please drop me a line! Translations to other unsupported languages are welcome too! Simply drop me a line before you start so that not two persons start the same thing. Have fun! Andreas *** HISTORY *** 2006-04-07: 3.4.4 - Fixed: reccmds didn't run if recording contained special characters (Reported by Ronny Kornexl). - Fixed: remember "unlimited" number of lines to show in vdr_cmds (Reported by Ronny Kornexl). - Changed: set "help" as default in vdr_cmds SVDRP command (Requested by Ronny Kornexl). 2006-03-30: 3.4.4rc - Fixed: new TV grabbing introduced with beta2 (Many thanks to horchi for reporting and testing). - Changed: check if a timer to be programmed by an AutoTimer already exists (Requested by several people). - Added: display AutoTimer information in timer's edit view (Somehow requested by MarkusE). - Fixed: recordings/timers/autotimers containing double-quotes couldn't be deleted (Reported by The Unknown). 2006-03-14: 3.4.4beta2 - Reworked TV grabbing. - Added optional parameters for TV for use with external tools: http://vdradmin-am.ip?aktion=tv_show&size=[full|half|quarter]&interval=[0| 1|2|3|5|10|30|60]&tv_only=bla - Fixed program switching in prog_summary, prog_list and prog_detail (Based on suggestions by kayser). - New: buttons to move to previous/next day in timers_list (Requested by BigDiSt). - Moved "help" menu into "about" menu. - Added VDR's "commands.conf" conntent to select box in navigation menu. - Changed defaults for "autotimer checking" in timers as they had been in v3.4.3. - New button on remote controls: Mute (Requested by Rüdiger Jung and Hardy Flor). - Timeline in timer_list will show timers of current day even if a timer starts the day before (Reported by Hardy Flor). 2006-03-08: 3.4.4beta - Added script "convert.sh" to convert the AutoTimer information in VDR's timers.conf to the new format (see "convert.sh" for usage). - Use the summary/aux timer field to store AutoTimer information to be compatible to VDR v1.3.44 and later. - Removed "Add summary to new timers" option. The EPG summary is no longer copied to the timer's summary/aux field (for VDR 1.3.44+) or always copied (VDR 1.3.43-). - Made summary textfield readonly while adding/editing a timer. - Unless NO_EVENTID or NO_EVENTID_ON is used the EPG-ID is stored in every (auto)timer set using VDRAdmin-AM. - For every timer the current start/stop margins are saved in its summary/aux field. These are used for checking AutoTimers by time. - Fixed bug while checking for already programmed (auto)timers if not using EPG-ID.

Issues with network vdr-xine 0.7.8 / stuttering, poor performance
by CR 06 Apr '06

06 Apr '06

Hi all, When I connect a xine-network client to vdr w/vdr-xine, the video stutters, frame rate is 2-5 FPS, video freezes for several seconds, there is 2-4 seconds of normal video (with normal audio) then it freezes and the whole process repeats. Network is 100 Mbps switched Ethernet with all machines using 100 Mbps Full-Duplex connections. I am not using any plug-ins other than xine (no EPG, etc, etc). All channels seem to operate the same way. I did modify VDR's FRAMESPERSEC and set it to 30 (for NTSC). Oddly, if I use xine on the vdr machine and launch it localhost, video is fine, audio is fine, I can change channels, etc! Everything seems to work well. I have tried two different clients, completely different hardware and Linux distros with same results. Xine-lib is compiled on all three machines identically, first RH's xine-lib patch applied, then the network patch. One machine is a K7 2800+ MP, GeForce Ti4600 w/nVidia drivers, etc. Second machine is a P3 700 MHz with S3 video. I also notice sometimes if I connect with the client, the host will report "wrong version", particularly, if the client was forced to disconnect quickly previously. Here are the versions of what I am using: - VDR 1.3.44 - vdr-xine 0.7.8 - xine-lib-cvs-20060319194500.tar.bz2, - xine-ui-cvs-20060319194500, Network patch from: http://linuxtv.org/pipermail/vdr/2006-February/008021.html DVBPlayer patch: http://home.vrweb.de/~rnissl/vdr-1.3.44-dvbplayer5.patch Thanks, CR.

pvr350 TV out not working with VDR
by Harri Kaimio 05 Apr '06

05 Apr '06

Hi, I am having problems installing PVR-350 as VDR output device. I have VDR 1.3.44 and vdr-pvr350 0.0.4pre1 plugin. I get only OSD information on my TV - no video nor audio. VDR works OK with softdevice and the PVR350 TV-out works with other software (I can even play VDR recordings using simply "cat <vdrfile> > /dev/video16". So HW seems to be working but something in my VDR installation is broken. Any ideas? Or has anyone succeeded with this combination? BR, Harri

Profiling a plugin?
by Christian Wieninger 04 Apr '06

04 Apr '06

Hi, I'd like to speed up some things in my plugin. So I just wondered if there is a way to profile a plugin. I tried to compile with "-pg" and checked the output with gprof, but it seems that gprof does not support libraries, because I only get information about vdr routines. Do you know any other tools, that allow profiling libraries/plugins? BR, Christian
