cdfs patches for mp3 plugin
by Stone 11 Jul '07

11 Jul '07

Hi, Today I tried to build the new 2.6.22 kernel but my external "cdfs" module (which is used by the mp3 plugin) failed to compile with the following: --snip-- /usr/src/modules/cdfs/2.6/root.c: In function 'cdfs_init': /usr/src/modules/cdfs/2.6/root.c:598: error: 'CLONE_FS' undeclared (first use in this function) /usr/src/modules/cdfs/2.6/root.c:598: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once /usr/src/modules/cdfs/2.6/root.c:598: error: for each function it appears in.) /usr/src/modules/cdfs/2.6/root.c:598: error: 'CLONE_FILES' undeclared (first use in this function) /usr/src/modules/cdfs/2.6/root.c:598: error: 'CLONE_SIGHAND' undeclared (first use in this function) make[5]: *** [/usr/src/modules/cdfs/2.6/root.o] Error 1 make[4]: *** [_module_/usr/src/modules/cdfs/2.6] Error 2 make[4]: Leaving directory `/var/local/kernel-src/linux-2.6.22.0' make[3]: *** [all] Error 2 --snip Would anyone happen to know how to fix this? Is the "cdfs" project currently maintained? I had found patches on vdrportal to fix cdfs for linux-2.6.21, but I cant seem to find anything for this new problem. Best Regards.

vdr versionnumbers and plugins
by alex bustamante 11 Jul '07

11 Jul '07

Hi, When i compile my plugins under vdr 1.4.7 most of them get the versionnumber 1.4.5. For example: libvdr-ttxtsubs.so.1.4.5. The result of this is that i get the following errormessage when i try to launch: vdr: ./PLUGINS/lib/libvdr-ttxtsubs.so.1.4.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory My solution to this problem is 'ln -s ibvdr-ttxtsubs.so.1.4.7 ibvdr-ttxtsubs.so.1.4.5'. However, that seems more like a workaround. Is there a clean solution to this? Thanks! -Alex

by Gregoire Favre 10 Jul '07

Hello, does someone redirect vdr log messages to /var/log/vdr.log using syslogd-ng ? If yes, I would like to know how :-) -- Grégoire FAVRE http://gregoire.favre.googlepages.com http://www.gnupg.org http://picasaweb.google.com/Gregoire.Favre

HELP! vdr-1.4.1 and softdevice-0.4.0 aren't working any more
by Harald Milz 09 Jul '07

09 Jul '07

Hi, after having reinstalled my VDR with OpenSUSE 10.1 a couple of weeks ago (after which VDR was working happily for some time) some very strange things happened. At first, after a reboot, sound was gone, without any change in the configuration, only after rebooting. My setup is still as described in http://www.vdr-wiki.de/wiki/index.php/Softdevice-plugin#Matrox_G550_mit_DVI… (in German, though). In particular, softdevice is invoked as softdevice -ao alsa:pcm=plug:spdif#ac3=plug:spdif# -vo dfb: No sound from VDR. Video was displayed fine. I could play testsounds with aplay just fine. I started to troubleshoot the system to no avail. After one more reboot with no apparent change in the configuration (I checked all settings in setup.conf), VDR started to crash reliably each time vdr starts. The crash happens so quick that no logs are written, except over the network. The relevant last lines are (I changed "alsa:pcm=plug:spdif" to "alsa:pcm=default" bit no change): (HW setup: 3 dumb cards, budget, budget-ci and b2c2).

subtitles-0.5.0 and gentoo
by JJussi 07 Jul '07

07 Jul '07

Hi! I have problem with YLE and subtitles. Subtitles work on "live", but can't see them when watching recording.. OK, If I have understand right the information what I found from net, that should be fixed at subtitles-0.5.0.. So.. I use gentoo and it's packeting system. How I can include this 0.5.0 version to my system, gentoo have only 0.4.0 version on it's repository.. Who is upkeeping vdr stuff at gentoo side... (OK, that "who" should insert vdr-1.4.7 too) Is only solution to "override" whole gentoo packeting system and compile everything itself? -- JJussi
