Probs: Twinhan Starbox 2 on NSLU2 with kernel 2.6.20 and cvs driver
by Hubert_Becker＠t-online.de 05 Mar '07

05 Mar '07

Anybody there who can help mir here ? I have debian ETCH on NSLU2 with kernel 2.6.20 and the latest cvs v4l driver which supports the Twinhan Startbox 2 DVB-S usb. Loading the driver is fine Starting vdr 1.4.5 ( compiled wit sources from etobi) without the attached box and without drivers loaded works just fine with plugins (xineliboutput, vompserver, ..) As soon as i start vdr with attached box and loaded driver, the system is kind of locked. The session stays until i remove the usb cable and then i get the kernel oops. See attachment Looks like vdr is causing the kernel oops, but in the log i can't see why. How can i get more debug output to see where the problem is ? Or is there anybody who can help me ? On my debian ETCH system the same installation is just running fine. Regards Hubert

VDR shutdown when timer gets no video
by mes＠lazo.ca 04 Mar '07

04 Mar '07

VDR 1.4.5 seems to shut down when a timer is triggered and no video is recieved. This happens when the dish is moving or CA keys are out of date. FELOCK is not enough to stop the shut down. Is there some way to turn off this feature? Actually turn off auto shut down all together? Thanks, mark

[RFC] Shutdown rewrite for 1.5.x
by Udo Richter 04 Mar '07

04 Mar '07

Hi list, The program code for automatic and manual shut down and for automatic restarts for timer recordings is in VDR 1.4.x very complex and error-prone, and behaves strange in some situations. With Klaus' permission I am working on a re-implementation for the upcoming 1.5.x developer builds of VDR. I now want to publish a first draft version for testing and further comments. Not all issues are fixed yet, but it already gives an impression of the new code. http://www.udo-richter.de/vdr/patches.html#shutdown http://www.udo-richter.de/vdr/patches.en.html#shutdown New: - Shutdown related code is now in shutdown.[ch]. vdr.c mainly delegates the work to the cShutdown class, that does all necessary steps for manual or automatic shutdown. - cShutdown tracks whether there is an interactive user or not. (eg. Min User Inactivity run out) - cRemote tracks time of last key press separately and autonomously. - The old 5-minute "Press any key to cancel..." message got replaced by a 5 minute countdown message that counts in 10-second steps - Since the new code is modularized, plugins will have access to activity tracking, can mess with inactivity state, and can initiate shutdown behavior similar to the kPower button. (But, please, only if you have to. ;) ) Fixed: - Pressing power button while recording playback works again, instead of doing nothing visible. (and not shutting down within 5 seconds at playback end.) - Show 5-minute shutdown message after background activity ends, if power button was pressed but not confirmed - Not freezing the VDR main loop while 5-minute shutdown message - Background activity now cancels the 5-minute shutdown message - Not messing with watchdog (and forgetting to re-enable) while 5-minute shutdown message - Timers set via SVDRP while in 5-minute shutdown message did not start and were not considered for reboot time. - Calling the main menu action of a plugin and closing a menu doesn't count as user activity any more Todo: - Start the 5-minute countdown 5 minutes _before_ min user inactivity runs out. (also does not add 5min to SHUTDOWNRETRY any more) - Fix negative time in shutdown confirm if VPS timer is in run-out phase Possible changes: - Make the 'inactive' mode (waiting for background activity to end, then shut down) more visible to the user: - Suggestion was to put up a message 'VDR will shut down when idle. Press power button again to force shutdown' before starting the confirms. - Alternative may be a message 'VDR will shut down later when idle' if shutdown was not confirmed - Alternative may be to permanently put up a message 'VDR is waiting for background tasks to complete'. - What should happen if a user confirms to shut down while a running / pending timer is scheduled. Currently, VDR will reboot after MinEventTimeout, but VDR could also reboot at the next timer that starts after MinEventTimeout - or never. - There is a feature request that the caller should be able to notify VDR whether VDR was started manually or automatically. (VDR currently guesses by searching for nearby timers) - There is a feature request to start the external shutdown script asynchronously, so the shutdown script does not block VDR any more. - A 'bug' in the old code allows to automatically shut down VDR at the end of a playback, though this was probably never intended. It could however be re-added as 'feature'. There's some debug output code to monitor the various timers on console. If you don't want that, you can disable it in vdr.c, search for #define DebugTimeouts and comment it out. Cheers, Udo

Anyone know why VDR won't pick up the different channels on this frequency? All I get is Kiosque, but I know there are Cine+ Foot 1 2 3 4 etc..? apart from hacking it by hand, anyone know of a solution?

Hi, I want to use tvtime with vdr and my Full Feature DVB-S. With “tvtime -d /dev/video0”, i have the video but not the sound. How can i obtain the sound with tvtime? If I plug my Loudspeakers to the DVB-S, I have a little shift between the sound and the image. Thank you. Guy

playing mp3's over smb (lockup)
by Stone 02 Mar '07

02 Mar '07

I have noticed that when I mount a samba drive on my vdr box and play mp3's with vdr from it, vdr will often lockup and require a restart. But, the strange thing about this is that this only happens when using the mpeg decoder on the FF card. If I use vdr-xine as the playback method with my FF card, then vdr never locks up when playing mp3's over the samba drive. Would there happen to be a buffer that needs to be increased? The lockup always occurs when a new mp3 is just about to start. Best Regards.

xine-lib patch help
by Stone 01 Mar '07

01 Mar '07

Hi, I was trying to apply the latest xine patches (that come with xine-0.7.10) to cvs of xine-lib and I have hit a problem. The patch is looking for this line to replace: -dsputil_mmx.o dsputil_mmx.lo: CFLAGS=`echo @CFLAGS@ | sed -e 's/-funroll-loops//g; s/-O[0-9]/-Os/g'` +dsputil_mmx.o dsputil_mmx.lo: CFLAGS=$(shell echo @CFLAGS@ | sed -e 's/-funroll-loops//g; s/-O([0-9]|s|$)/-Os /g') But, now the original line looks like this: dsputil_mmx.o dsputil_mmx.lo: CFLAGS=$(shell echo @CFLAGS@ | sed -e 's/-funroll-loops//g; s/$$/ -Os/') Should i just leave it as is now? Best Regards.
