Xineliboutput segmentation fault
by Graziano Pavone 08 May '08

08 May '08

Hallo, I'm using xineliboutput as an output device, both on the main VDR server (that is attached to a 16:9 display) and over network to a client, with no DVB cards, but that connect over the network to the main server VDR with xineliboutput. Everything is working fine, but if I select "crop letterbox 4:3 to 16:9" on the main VDR machine, I get a segmentation fault on the client when I try to run xineliboutput everytime I try to run it, until I remove the "crop letterbox" option. Maybe I'm missing some library on the client? anyone can help me about this? Thanks, Graziano

oops > I'm trying to downgrade vdr-xine from 0.8.2 back to 0.8.0 but get vdr-xine: Client connect failed! in std-out. Can this be further diagnosed? The xine-lib and xine-ui seem to otherwise work just fine, just won't connect to vdr-xine. Thanks Simon

cvs xineliboutput
by syrius.ml＠no-log.org 07 May '08

07 May '08

Hi, I'm using vdr-1.6 and xineliboutput from cvs. I'm using it with freevo and vdr is controlled through xine-ui/vdr-sxfe by stdin. For instance I send "hitk Up" to vdr-sxfe or "EventUp" to xine-ui. Every so often when i change between channels xine-ui/vdr-sxfe stops displaying video+osd. I have to quit it and start it again. (but commands are still sent to vdr, if i press "up" 2 times while xine-ui/vdr-sxfe has stopped displaying anything, I can see vdr receiving the "up" events) I haven't tried to reverse patches, or to reproduce it without using stdin (--stdctl/--slave). Before I do so, I'm just asking if anybody has encountered this issue already. Cheers. --

Switching recording files
by Otto J. Makela 06 May '08

06 May '08

Fedora 8, vdr-1.4.7-6.fc8 and old full-feature Terratec C-card. I've configured vdr to start two minutes before the time of the program, and ten minutes after the recording, in case timing is a bit off. For some reason, when recording the Finnish National broadcaster's (YLE) programs, vdr every time wants to switch files just before the actual program starts. Unfortunately it fails and ends up doing it just slightly too late, causing a few frames of the program to end up at the tail of the two-minute preamble. Quite inconvenient from an editing point of view. What causes this (does YLE send a the-program-starts-now type of signaling?), I haven't found a way to disable this in spite of going through the configuration files? -- /* * * Otto J.

Watching old recordings with DVB subtitles with 1.6.0
by Ville Skyttä 04 May '08

04 May '08

Hello, I have quite a few old recordings with DVB subtitles that were recorded and watchable with 1.4.x and the subtitles plugin. When replaying these with VDR 1.6.0, the subtitles aren't shown (new recordings made with 1.6.0 seem to be fine). I see there's some kind of a "compatibility mode for old subtitles plugin" in 1.6.0 sources, so I guess they should be. Thoughts?
