Does the back key not really stop the replay?
by Thomas Maass 07 Sep '13

07 Sep '13

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi! When pressing the back key during replay, the replay is not really stopped immediately. It has another behaviour than pressing stop or blue. When pressing back, the replay stops, and I get back to the menu. But the recording seems to be still open. I derived the cReplayControl class in my plugin, to add the archive-hdd functions. Before play, the archive-hdd gets mounted, then the videofiles are symlinked to the recordingdir under /video. After stopping the replay, the symlinks should be removed again, and the archive-hdd should be unmounted. I did not find a better place to do the unlinking and unmounting, than the destructor of my class cMyReplayControl. This works only, when stopping the replay with stop or blue. When stopping with back, I get a "busy" while unmounting. And my derived class only implements my own destructor, nothing else. Klaus, can you check the exact behaviour when pressing back during replay? I cannot see kBack in cReplayControl::ProcessKey.

Move class declarations to headerfiles
by Thomas Maass 05 Sep '13

05 Sep '13

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi Klaus! Some class declarations, for example the class cMenuRecording are declared in the sourcefile. So plugin developers cannot use them easily. Why don't you move this declarations to the headerfiles? There are also most class members declared as private. So plugin developers have to implement most things themself. Why aren't they protected? Maybe you have a good reason for that. As a plugin newbie I have to copy all the vdr classes I wanna use, instead of easily deriving it. An example of this would be cMenuRecordingItem or cRecording. But there are many other classes, which could be used in plugins.

Contribution to VDR - source codes, compiling latest 2.x on raspberry pi
by Martin Stiborský 01 Sep '13

01 Sep '13

Hi guys, I'd like to ask you for a little help, small introduction into how it works in VDR development. My goal: I'd like to have latest VDR on my RaspberyPi, I have there Archlinux ARM installed, so it will be maybe a little bit more complicated, than just upgrading already existing 1.x debian package, which you can use on Raspbian. You know, previously I had Raspbian on the RasPi and installing and configuring VDR was really simple. There was webinterface and streaming to my workstation with VLC as a client was working out-of-box (I have right now only DVB-T USB dongle). As far as I know there is only 1.x deb package now. I'd like to create similar package for Archlinux (PKGBUILD). I'll definitelly use already existing debian package as a starting point for my work. There are also already some projects existing on that matter: http://sourceforge.net/projects/archvdr/ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/vdr/ (I'm quite confused why there is already existing AUR PKGBUILD and also another project for the same purpose, Wiki is saying that the other project should be used instead of AUR package, really don't know why https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/VDR#Installation) Now I need to get idea about the VDR project in general. For example, I was not able to find some code repository with your code...are you using git, hg or svn? Is the repository publicly accessible? Maybe this? http://projects.vdr-developer.org/git/ I have found also this: http://linuxtv.org/repo/ But VDR is not there, although there is a lot of links and information about VDR. What is the main place for "dev" informations? Is it this wiki? http://linuxtv.org/vdrwiki/index.php/Main_Page Btw, what about to put such information on your homepage ( http://www.tvdr.de/) ? Maybe even consider Github as a VDR development home, that would be awesome :) But that's completely your things how to keep you project running. Thank you guys for any information for my thing! -- S pozdravem / Best regards Martin Stiborský Jabber: stibi(a)njs.netlab.cz Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/stibi

EPG not purged if -E- option set
by Dave 01 Sep '13

01 Sep '13

I run VDR 2.0.2 on a Raspberry Pi. The device runs continuously, so to avoid wearing out the SD card or needlessly spinning-up the USB disk drive I run VDR with the -E- option to prevent saving the EPG every 10 minutes. Today I created a timer for one programme in a long-running series and was surprised to find that the Series Link plugin had scheduled timers for earlier episodes, some broadcast several weeks ago! These timers were then automatically deleted of course. Looking at the code, it seems that cleaning up the EPG schedules is a side-effect of writing the data file, so the -E- option disables both. Having the EPG grow unbounded is perhaps not desirable on devices such as the Raspberry Pi which have limited memory and CPU. Dave
