[ANNOUNCE] VDR Power Button Daemon 0.1.0
by Manuel Reimer 27 Apr '13

27 Apr '13

Hello, I tried to add all the suggestions, I got for vdrpbd 0.0.1 and created a new release. This one comes with a template for vdrpbd.conf and even has a man page to describe the settings (man vdrpbd.conf). Not it is also possible to customize the time range and the amount of keypresses for the emergency reboot feature (see vdrpbd.conf). Please tell me if you still miss something. Download here: http://projects.vdr-developer.org/attachments/download/1363/vdrpbd-0.1.0.ta… Yours Manuel

ERROR: video data stream broken with DVB-T, AVC and ITE9135 device?
by Michael Smith 22 Apr '13

22 Apr '13

Hi, I've switched from DVB-S to DVB-T usb dongle with ITE9135 chipset and I'm trying to record an AVC channel. I'm using VDR-1.7.27. Every thing OK when I use VDR with streamdev plugin. In fact I've set my system to stream channels for more than 10 days. But after I create a timer to record my stream, VDR gives following messages and jumps out. ERROR: video data stream broken initiating emergency exit emergency exit requested - shutting down I'm sure signal is fine, as I said there is no problem with streamdev. Also I tried EPGScanTimeout=0 and EmergencyExit=0. Although it prevents VDR to jump out, but nothing is recorded. I've tested VDR-1.7.37 and problem persists. Any idea? Thanks. Mike Smith.

VDPAU for AMD
by Tony Houghton 19 Apr '13

19 Apr '13

Anybody seen this? <http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=amd_opensource_uvd&num=1> I think it's great news, at last there will be decent hardware acceleration for AMD graphics, on a fully open source stack, and without front-ends needing to use a new API. I know there was already Intel and VAAPI, but that hasn't caught on as well as VDPAU for some reason.

Hi, I maintain the eepg plugin, if you send me a stack trace, or add it as an issue here: http://projects.vdr-developer.org/projects/plg-eepg I will look into it. I'm using the eepg plugin for a very long time without any problem. For the memory leak, I have not I have not reproduced it in my usage of vdr, so if someone can provide me with the steps to reproduce it, which channel it happens on and so on I will try to fix it.

difference between "g++ -pthread" and "g++ -lpthread"
by Lars Hanisch 14 Apr '13

14 Apr '13

Hi, I'm hunting some race condition in my plugins which produce a segfault in libc or libavahi (still searching the right packages with debug symbols, race condition may be related to having to dbus-mainloops in dbus2vdr and avahi4vdr, but I don't know yet). While investigating this I found something about the option "-pthread" of g++. According to g++'s manpage this will set the right options for the preprocessor and compiler so the program can use the pthreads lib. Especially it will set -D_REENTRANT and -lpthread etc. vdr seems only to use -lpthread and no other pthread-specific options. I'm not an expert on this topic, so I would like to know if someone can shed some light on this. Makefile may than be patched with: ========== --- a/Makefile +++ b/Makefile @@ -14,12 +14,12 @@ CFLAGS ?= -g -O3 -Wall CXX ?= g++ -CXXFLAGS ?= -g -O3 -Wall -Werror=overloaded-virtual -Wno-parentheses +CXXFLAGS ?= -g -O3 -Wall -Werror=overloaded-virtual -Wno-parentheses -pthread CDEFINES = -D_GNU_SOURCE CDEFINES += -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_LARGEFILE64_SOURCE -LIBS = -ljpeg -lpthread -ldl -lcap -lrt $(shell pkg-config --libs freetype2 fontconfig) +LIBS = -ljpeg -ldl -lcap -lrt $(shell pkg-config --libs freetype2 fontconfig) INCLUDES ?= $(shell pkg-config --cflags freetype2 fontconfig) # Directories: ========== Recompiled vdr and plugins do run as before (haven't solved my segfault). What do you think? Lars.

[ANNOUNCE] yaepghd-0.0.4
by Lucian Muresan 13 Apr '13

13 Apr '13

Hello all, version 0.0.4 of yaepghd is available, see the links at the end of the message. These are the changes since the last community edition version published in the vdr-portal.de forum: 2013-04-14: Version 0.0.4 - at least for now, this version is no longer hosted at vdr-developer.org as the old project (after ver. 0.0.1) still seems to be abandoned, check the README file for the links - switched to ScaleVideo API introduced with vdr-1.7.33 and dropped old patch - switched MAkefile to new style introduced with vdr-1.7.34 - integrated extra plugin themes found in the community edition thread at vdr-portal.de - updated anthra_1280 theme with the one from "pc_medusa" at vdr-portal.de - added romanian translation - added nOpacity_1920_darkblue theme contributed by "Saman" at vdr-portal.de - added setup option to simulate returning back to the menu position where yaepghd was entered from, adapted from a patch contributed by "Saman" at vdr-portal.de For now, the code is hosted here: https://github.com/lucianm/vdr-plugin-yaepghd Release tarball: http://sourceforge.net/projects/vdryaepghd/files/0.0.4/vdr-yaepghd-0.0.4.tg…

Entering main menu with svdrpsend
by Teemu Suikki 13 Apr '13

13 Apr '13

Hi! I might be overlooking something really simple, but I can't figure this out myself. :) I'm trying to send "red" button to the LoadEPG plugin, to cancel the scan. In theory, this is just: svdrpsend hitk Menu 9 Red (9 is the Loadepg mainmenu entry number).. However, the above fails if there is a message on screen, in that case it will start recording channel 9, which is not good. :) This "works": svdrpsend hitk Back Back Back Back Back Menu 9 Red But if you are in playback mode, it will cancel the playback. Probably also some other situations where this fails. So, is there a 100% sure way to enter main menu?

[ANNOUNCE] VDR version 2.0.1 released
by Klaus Schmidinger 13 Apr '13

13 Apr '13

VDR version 2.0.1 is now available at ftp://ftp.tvdr.de/vdr/vdr-2.0.1.tar.bz2 A 'diff' against the previous developer version is available at ftp://ftp.tvdr.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-2.0.0-2.0.1.diff MD5 checksums: e1b7a76c57c96300829dccd39eb20e7d vdr-2.0.1.tar.bz2 fca54c4da4e9d9dd05f917b04a2eecf4 vdr-2.0.0-2.0.1.diff This version fixes a few minor bugs that came up after the release of version 2.0.0. It also allows compilation of VDR with older versions of the DVB API. The changes since version 2.0.0: - Fixed initializing cDevice::keepTracks. - Fixed an endless loop in cTextWrapper::Set() in case the given Width is smaller than one character (reported by Stefan Braun). - Added definitions for older DVB API versions, back until 5.0 (based on a patch from Udo Richter). - Fixed handling '/' and '~' in recording file names in case DirectoryEncoding is used (thanks to Lars Hanisch). - Changed cThread::SetIOPriority() from "best effort class" to "idle class" in order to improve overall performance when an editing process is running (thanks to Jochen Dolze). - Fixed aspect ratio and position of scaled video in the dvbhddevice plugin. Have fun! Klaus

[PATCH] TT6400 dvbhddevice ScaleVideo aspect ratio correction
by Lucian Muresan 09 Apr '13

09 Apr '13

Hi, I wrote a patch for the ScaleVideo implementation in the dvbhddevice, for keeping the actual aspect ratio of the video material when scaling. It was tested by users at vdr-portal.de which also reported the distortions (I don't own such a device), and they said it works [1]. You can test it with the nOpacity skin and/or with the upcoming yaepghd-0.0.4 plugin [2].
