Building debain plugin packages
by UseNet-Posting-Nospam-74308-＠zocki.toppoint.de 31 Jul '07

31 Jul '07

Hello Tobias made real help pages at e-tobi.net. Thanks a lot. Really very helpful! Now i am trying to make my next VDR using "debian packaging". I can't use precompiled vdr because i need the "lnbsharing patch". But when i apply that patch, all binary plugins are rejected. That's OK. Building vdr it self works so far, but. But: How should a compile all these tons of plugins? Is there somewhere a list (like patches) or script or have i to download each plugin, complie it, install it and than do the next as shown in the script? Is that the intended way to go? Any hints? The script debian/vdraptrefresh seems to be something but it ia actually not... Currenty i use these steps to "make" a debian package according to http://www.e-tobi.net/blog/articles/2004/09/21/das-vdr-quelltextpaket vdr:~# cd /usr/src/vdr vdr:/usr/src/vdr# cat ../vdrgetsources #!/bin/sh # last version.

Configuring vdr-sxfe to use a single vdr backend for recordings/dvb cards
by Andrew Herron 31 Jul '07

31 Jul '07

Hi again, Can someone give me some guidance on how to confgure the following; I have a central machine running vdr 1.4.6 (has all the recording storage and dvb cards) I have several networked vdr machines that i want to use to connect back to the 'server' vdr machine. The networked vdr machines will have no dvb cards (they will all be located at the vdr server). How do i configure my vdr client machines to connect back to the server vdr machine and use its dvb cards/recording storage etc? Can anyone give some guidance on this type of setup or point me at a url where I can find out about such a config? Thanks in advance. Andrew

dvd plugin - WAF
by Torgeir Veimo 30 Jul '07

30 Jul '07

The DVD plugin works reasonably well on a technical level, but my gf has a hard time operating it at times; it's hard to remember which keys are which when you only use it once in a while. Why is it not possible to use the normal cursor keys on the remote for the same functions in DVD playback mode, instead of using the numerical keys? -- Torgeir Veimo torgeir(a)pobox.com

Problems with cCutter::Active()
by Martin Prochnow 28 Jul '07

28 Jul '07

Hi, I call in my plugin in a loop (in a thread) cCutter::Active() every second. If I stop an editing process over the main menu entry, VDR crashes from time to time: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- *** glibc detected *** vdr: double free or corruption (!prev): 0x08407fc0 *** ======= Backtrace: ========= /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc.so.6[0xb7cff7cd] /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc.so.6(cfree+0x90)[0xb7d02e30] vdr(_ZN14cCuttingThreadD0Ev+0x31)[0x809b7a1] vdr(_ZN7cCutter4StopEv+0x39)[0x809aa89] vdr(_ZN7cCutter6ActiveEv+0x3c)[0x809ab7c] /home/nordlicht/src/vdr-1.4.7/PLUGINS/lib/libvdr-extrecmenu.so.1.4.5(_ZN12WorkerThread6ActionEv+0x2e)[0xb73dadbe] vdr(_ZN7cThread11StartThreadEPS_+0x2c)[0x80fce1c] /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libpthread.so.0[0xb7f0431b] /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc.so.6(clone+0x5e)[0xb7d6757e] ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- If I remove the cCutter::Active()-call from my thread, everything is fine.

[ANNOUNCE] VDR developer version 1.5.6
by Klaus Schmidinger 28 Jul '07

28 Jul '07

VDR developer version 1.5.6 is now available at ftp://ftp.cadsoft.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-1.5.6.tar.bz2 A 'diff' against the previous developer version is available at ftp://ftp.cadsoft.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-1.5.5-1.5.6.diff WARNING: ======== This is a *developer* version. Even though *I* use it in my productive environment, I strongly recommend that you only use it under controlled conditions and for testing and debugging. The changes since version 1.5.5: - Fixed a buffer overflow in initializing the system character table (thanks to Marco Schlüßler). - Updated the Russian OSD texts (thanks to Oleg Roitburd). - Fixed handling single byte characters >0x7F in Utf8ToArray() (thanks to Udo Richter). - Improved numdigits(), isnumber() and strreplace() (thanks to Tobias Bratfisch). - Fixed clearing color buttons in the 'curses' skin (thanks to Udo Richter). - Fixed a typo in the function name of cOsd::SetOsdPosition() and added a range check to it (thanks to Christoph Haubrich). - Updated the Finnish OSD texts (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - Improved cControl::Launch() to keep 'control' from pointing to uninitialized memory (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - Made skipspace() an inline function (suggested by Tobias Bratfisch) and changed it to handle the most common case of 'no leading space' very fast, and avoid calling isspace(), which made the whole function a lot faster. - Fixed detection of Premiere NVOD channel links (thanks to anonymous). - Added a table of the used trick speed values to the description of cDevice::TrickSpeed() (suggested by Martin Dauskardt). - Added a missing 'P' to vdr.c's SHUTDOWNCANCELROMPT macro (reported by Marco Schlüßler). Have fun! Klaus
