451 Grab image failed

Hi all! I have had problems in getting screen captures from VDR (VDR 1.6.0_p2-r3 on Gentoo) with with for example: svdrpsend.pl grab file.jpg and Wapd, Vdr-live etc etc. I have "-g /tmp" set when starting VDR.. I actually don't remember when i lost this function, but this definitely worked at some point. I have two dvb-cards: One budget, and one full-featured card (FF Technotrend dvb-s, and Technotrend budget dvb-t) I have read about many similar cases, and some of them got sorted out by getting more fresh dvb-drivers. These cases where from 2006, so i would assume that this issue should have been solved til now.. I also changed the order of the dvb-cards, because this seemed to be an issue at least in one case.. Now I'm using the 2.6.31 kernel with the original dvb-modules (budget_ci and dvb_ttpci). My question is now: What else should i try to do so that i could get the grab-function to work again? Any ideas and helps are appreciated! Regards, René

FRC + HDMI with Radeon 9200 SE
by kompu 01 Jan '10

01 Jan '10

I have tried to get FRC + HDMI working with my Radeon 9200 SE Without success... :) I have installed all those patches like instructed on http://vga2scart.gw90.de/install/ Using Debian Lenny. I have understod that I don´t need patch kernel with fb-drm-radeon-intel.patch if I´m using HDMI only? Is this correct? I haven´t been able to get any kind of picture from DVI connector. I need complete xorg.conf which gives me 720x576i or 1440x576i from DVI connector of 9200 SE.

rewind recordings doesn't work with xineliboutput and vdr 1.7.10
by Gerald Dachs 29 Dec '09

29 Dec '09

Hello, if I try to rewind a recording, I can see the movie going fast backwards, but if I stop rewinding, the movie continues from the moment I started the rewinding. This doesn't happen with xine-ui and the xine-plugin and with xbmc using the streamdev-plugin, so I believe it is a xineliboutput problem. I use a cvs snapshot from today and vdr 1.7.10 on Ubuntu 9.10, xinelib 1.2 with vdpau patch r285 and durchflieger cropping patch. I posted this already on the xineliboutput-user ML, but this list seems to be dead. Gerald

I you have VDR running under root account please check. Hi! I don't have dash at all installed. I run Gentoo, and the default shell is bash. My current VDR-setup has been running as the VDR-user from the beginning.. One thing just came into my mind. I haven't yet tested to reboot my vdr to a previous kernel-version. I have to test it tomorrow, when i'm back home. If this brings me grab back, then it has to be some kind of module-issue.. To be continued... :-) René

Re: [vdr] wakealarm stopped working on 21 dec 2009.. ?!?!
by Travel Factory S.r.l. 28 Dec '09

> Maybe the cards are supported by the newer kernel? I went with a full install of opensuse 11.2 (11.1 didn't want to start the upgrade :-) ) 11.2 recognized the onboard lan port (I had to have a pci-e lan card....) The skystar 2 was recognized with no problems. The Hvr-3000 seems to be recognized but I have to investigate, since it is a combo DVB-S/DVB-T but you can use only one at time... I never used it before due to same strangeness, I will investigate later... The chipset on the Usb stick was recognized but the drivers could not understand which specific stick it was. I had to put a modprobe options line to specify the card type... strangely the exact stick name as reported by lsusb -v is listed as card=21 but I allways used it with card=11.... I also own a FF card I used on a 200mhz pentium (no fans...)... unfortunately no dvb-s2/t2...
