warning - cannot set dumpable: Invalid argument
by Sebastian Kemper 23 Jul '06

23 Jul '06

Hi everybody, I installed kernel 2.6.16.24 lately and get this warning when starting vdr. The same should happen with 2.6.17.4 since both share the same Changelog: http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/ChangeLog-2.6.17.4 http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/ChangeLog-2.6.16.24 And I quote: "During security research, Red Hat discovered a behavioral flaw in core dump handling. A local user could create a program that would cause a core file to be dumped into a directory they would not normally have permissions to write to. This could lead to a denial of service (disk consumption), or allow the local user to gain root privileges." So I was wondering if you could adapt vdr's dumpfile handling to the new situation and put the changes in vdr-1.4.2 in order to get rid of the warning, please. Thank you Sebastian

StreamDev server limited connections?
by JikJikMan 23 Jul '06

23 Jul '06

Hi All, Does streamdev-server plugin for VDR has limited connections? I tried vdr-streamdev-snapshot-20060505 on vdr-1.4.0, but each time my connections with videolan-0.8.5 reaches to five concurrent connections, I could not connect any additional client to it. It doesn't seem to be hardware resource lack, Because my system has 1 GB free ram when five clients connected and also cpu usage is very low. I tested it with 2 client PCs and the results was same. Where is the problem? John.

xineliboutput and fast forward/rewind
by Joerg Riechardt 22 Jul '06

22 Jul '06

Hi, when i play a recording and go into fast forward or fast rewind, the replay stops for a moment until it gets fluid again. Could this be improved? (With the xine plugin from Reinhard Nissl the same problem existed in some versions, but not in others.) Jörg

xineliboutput OSD problem
by Joerg Riechardt 22 Jul '06

22 Jul '06

Hi, I´m using xineliboutput and fbxine, both on the same machine with pipe modus. When I press a key on the remote control or send a svdrp command, that triggers OSD fbxine stops running and the picture freezes. If I restart fbxine immediately I see the error message: [input_vdr] exec_osd_command: Attempt to close non-existing OSD (0) ! [input_vdr] invalid parameter in control message OSDCMD What could I do to solve that? Jörg

device.c: cDevice::GetDevice
by syrius.ml＠no-log.org 22 Jul '06

Hi, let's consider this setup: - one headless computer, 2 dvb-s cards (1 ff, 1 budget) both receiving the exactly the same set of channels - this server runs 2 vdr instances: first main one with streamdev-server handling the dvb cards, the other one with streamdev-client - both of them are running vdr-xineliboutput plugin so that i can have 2 independant outputs(TV) plugged in. - main vdr is doing the recording and also being used a http stream server for one client (occasionnaly) The channels i'm using are those: :BBC BBC 1 London;BSkyB:10773:hC56:S28.2E:22000:5000:5001=eng,5002=NAR:5003:0:6301:2:2045:0 BBC 2 England;BSkyB:10773:hC56:S28.2E:22000:5100:5101=eng,5102=NAR:5103:0:6302:2:2045:0 BBC THREE;BSkyB:10773:hC56:S28.2E:22000:5200:5201=eng,5202=NAR:5203:0:6319:2:2045:0 BBC FOUR;BSkyB:10773:hC56:S28.2E:22000:5300:5301=eng,5302=NAR:5303:0:6316:2:2045:0 :ITV ITV1 Granada;BSkyB:10758:vC56:S28.2E:22000:2318:2319=eng:2320:0:10080:2:2044:0 ITV2;BSkyB:10758:vC56:S28.2E:22000:2314:2315=eng,2363=NAR:2317:0:10070:2:2044:0 ITV3;BSkyB:10906:vC56:S28.2E:22000:2363:2364=eng,2314=NAR:2365:0:10260:2:2054:0 ITV4;BSkyB:10758:vC56:S28.2E:22000:2305:2306=eng:2309:0:10072:2:2044:0 I have added esyslog("GetDevice(1) device #%d imp=%x ndr=%d isreceiving=%d isactual=%d isprimary=%d hasdecoder=%d devprio=%d Priority=%d providesca=%d\n",i,imp,ndr,device[i]->Receiving(),device[i]==ActualDevice(),device[i]->IsPrimaryDevice(),device[i]->HasDecoder(),device[i]->Priority(),Priority,device[i]->ProvidesCa(Channel)); before if (imp < Impact) { and added esyslog("GetDevice(2) device #%d SELECTED imp=%x\n",i,imp); before if (NeedsDetachReceivers) first (main) vdr tunes to bbc 1: it uses the budget card: Jul 4 00:33:24 dvb vdr: [22230] switching to channel 1 Jul 4 00:33:24 dvb vdr: [22230] GetDevice(1) device #0 imp=116202 ndr=0 isreceiving=0 isactual=0 isprimary=0 hasdecoder=1 devprio=-1 Priority=0 providesca=2 Jul 4 00:33:24 dvb vdr: [22230] GetDevice(2) device #0 SELECTED imp=116202 Jul 4 00:33:24 dvb vdr: [22230] INFO: Using software decryption on card 1 Jul 4 00:33:24 dvb vdr: [22230] GetDevice(1) device #1 imp=106202 ndr=0 isreceiving=0 isactual=0 isprimary=0 hasdecoder=0 devprio=-1 Priority=0 providesca=2 Jul 4 00:33:24 dvb vdr: [22230] GetDevice(2) device #1 SELECTED imp=106202 then second vdr is launched and tuned to bbc 2: it uses the ff card: Jul 4 00:37:05 dvb vdr: [22246] GetDevice(1) device #0 imp=116202 ndr=0 isreceiving=0 isactual=0 isprimary=0 hasdecoder=1 devprio=-1 Priority=0 providesca=2 Jul 4 00:37:05 dvb vdr: [22246] GetDevice(2) device #0 SELECTED imp=116202 Jul 4 00:37:05 dvb vdr: [22246] GetDevice(1) device #1 imp=146202 ndr=0 isreceiving=0 isactual=1 isprimary=0 hasdecoder=0 devprio=-1 Priority=0 providesca=2 Jul 4 00:37:06 dvb vdr: [22246] GetDevice(1) device #0 imp=116202 ndr=0 isreceiving=0 isactual=0 isprimary=0 hasdecoder=1 devprio=-1 Priority=0 providesca=2 Jul 4 00:37:06 dvb vdr: [22246] GetDevice(2) device #0 SELECTED imp=116202 Jul 4 00:37:06 dvb vdr: [22246] GetDevice(1) device #1 imp=146202 ndr=0 isreceiving=0 isactual=1 isprimary=0 hasdecoder=0 devprio=-1 Priority=0 providesca=2 Jul 4 00:37:06 dvb vdr: [22246] Streamdev: Setting data connection to 10.0.2.10:48025 How could I adapt GetDevice so that the second vdr would use the same card ? (bbc1 and bbc2 are on the same transponder) Because if i start a recording or the http client on itv1, one transfer mode is interrupted. It's obviously not what i want. I would have expected bbc1 and bbc2 to be handled by only one card letting the other one free for something else. in cDevice::GetDevice (device.c): imp <<= 1; imp |= !device[i]->Receiving() || ndr; could this be replaced by: imp |= ndr; are there cases where ndr is True and device[i]->Receiving() is false ? if device[i]->Receiving() and ndr is false i guess that would mean this device should be selected. (and maybe imp shouldn't be increased in that case) or/and what could i change in: imp <<= 1; imp |= device[i] == ActualDevice(); so that it doesn't increase imp if ActualDevice also provides the desired channel ? (or maybe this test could be skipped in that case ?) another ex: for a reason or another, 1st vdr tunes to bbc1 and uses first dvd card (the ff one) then second vdr wants to tune to bbc1 as well: unfortunatly the selected device is not the first one but the second one because it doesn't have a decoder. (and imp is unconditionnaly increased when the card has a decoder) I understand selecting the appropriate device is not that quite simple. Is there a way to make this selection more modular and add a new setting to select between different GetDevice behabiors ? --

Demux with two ac3 streams ?
by Gregoire Favre 22 Jul '06

22 Jul '06

Hello, could someone tell me how to demux vdr streams that contains two ac3 streams ? (If possible using command lign, I have tried with vdrsync.pl which result in vdrsync.pl crash, even with a diff from vdrportal and with projectx I get only one ac3 stream). Thank you very much, -- Grégoire FAVRE http://gregoire.favre.googlepages.com http://www.gnupg.org
