vdr: [2795] ERROR: remote control XineRemote not ready!
by martinez 17 Aug '10

17 Aug '10

I wonder if somebody who understands fully the interaction between lirc, xine and vdr can help me debug my setup. The PC has no keyboard or mouse connected and it is operated exclusively via the remote control for most of the part and ssh for the rest I have only one irritating bug, I use oxine as a front end (then calling shells as appropiate) and it I do not press any key on the remote for approximately 5 minutes while on this screen, the remote ceases to operate until I reboot (once this happens if I run irw I can see output as usual) I wonder if it is because my setup, although working perhaps it is kind of not optimal. My remote is the type that uses input events (comes with the hauppagge sat card) using dev/input in lirc dmesg |grep input6 input: cx88 IR (Hauppauge WinTV-HVR400 as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:08.0/0000:01:06.2/rc/rc0/input6 In xine itself I was not able to map the special vdr commands (I tried but would not recognise most buttons) so I am not using that feature. My remote.conf #LIRC.Up ArrowUp #LIRC.Down ArrowDown #LIRC.Left ArrowLeft #LIRC.Right ArrowRight #LIRC.Ok Enter #LIRC.Pause Pause LIRC.Stop Stop LIRC.Record Record LIRC.Play Play LIRC.0 0 LIRC.1 1 LIRC.2 2 ... I commented out the Arrow buttons because otherwise I was getting duplicate responses (for example I would press once the down button and it would go down twice, not one) I call vdr from a script with vdr -c /etc/vdr -E /var/epgvdr --lirc --no-kbd -l 1 -P'xine -r' I have the powerbutton mapped to kill xine (so the script continues and returns to the oxine menu once xine is not running anymore and this works fine) begin button = Power prog = irexec repeat = 0 config = sudo killall xine mms end and finally mappings for xine itself: begin button = Power prog = irexec repeat = 0 config = sudo killall xine mms end begin prog = xine button = Menu config = OSDStreamInfos end begin prog = xine button = Enter config = EventSelect end begin prog = xine button = Pause config = Pause config = OSDStreamInfos end begin prog = xine button = PrevSong config = SeekRelative-30 end begin prog = xine button = NextSong config = SeekRelative+30 end begin prog = xine button = ArrowLeft config = EventLeft end begin prog = xine button = ArrowRight config = EventRight end begin prog = xine button = ArrowUp config = EventUp end begin prog = xine button = ArrowDown config = EventDown end begin prog = xine button = Power config = Quit end begin prog = xine button = BackExit config = back end begin prog = xine button = VolumeUp config = Volume+ repeat = 2 end begin prog = xine button = VolumeDown repeat = 2 config = Volume- end begin prog = xine button = ChannelUp config = ZoomIn end begin prog = xine button = ChannelDown config = ZoomOut end

frequent xine crashes with vdr
by martinez＠embl.de 15 Aug '10

15 Aug '10

I start vdr and xine and all looks nicely and I zap channels a couple of times without problems and the 3rd time or so xine freezes and I need to restart it It used to work fine, only 3 things have changed: 64 bits os instead of 32, a newer kernel, and using the kernel´s driver for my card (S2-HD-NOVA) instead of the liaplin´s ones Could someone point out what is the likely culprit? Does vdr+xine run stable on 64 bits? uname -r 2.6.34-ARCH tail /var/log/everything.log Aug 15 10:45:01 htpc crond[2702]: FILE /var/spool/cron/root USER root PID 2935 job sys-hourly Aug 15 10:45:20 htpc kernel: out of order segment: rcv_next CA1E6BF8 seq CA1E6C00 - CA1E6C08 Aug 15 10:45:20 htpc kernel: out of order segment: rcv_next CA1E6BF8 seq CA1E6C08 - CA1E6C56 Aug 15 10:45:20 htpc kernel: ofo requeuing : rcv_next CA1E6C00 seq CA1E6C00 - CA1E6C08 Aug 15 10:45:20 htpc kernel: ofo requeuing : rcv_next CA1E6C08 seq CA1E6C08 - CA1E6C56 Aug 15 11:09:03 htpc -- MARK -- Aug 15 11:10:25 htpc kernel: out of order segment: rcv_next CA1E7E14 seq CA1E7E1C - CA1E7E24 Aug 15 11:10:25 htpc kernel: out of order segment: rcv_next CA1E7E14 seq CA1E7E24 - CA1E7E72 Aug 15 11:10:25 htpc kernel: ofo requeuing : rcv_next CA1E7E1C seq CA1E7E1C - CA1E7E24 Aug 15 11:10:25 htpc kernel: ofo requeuing : rcv_next CA1E7E24 seq CA1E7E24 - CA1E7E72

I have tried --buffers=5 value, but it didn't help.. (With lower value I cannot see any picture) So, nobody have any real clue what's wrong and how to fix it..

Yes, I have same symptoms, no vdpau here. I put it down to the client clearing through its buffer, but that's just a guess.

vdr-1.7.15 working with softdevice?
by Laz 11 Aug '10

11 Aug '10

Hi, Does anyone have a working setup involving vdr-1.7.15 and softdevice? I ask because I've been happily using vdr-1.7.0 (the one just before changing the DVB driver version) with softdevice since vdr-1.7.0 was released. I finally took the plunge and built the new DVB drivers and grabbed the latest version of vdr and this also includes the changes from PES to TS. It _almost_ works: I get a second or so of live TV, then lots of stuttering, and then vdr restarts. It spews out lots of "mpeg_decode_postinit() failure" and "Error while decoding video frame 0" errors, and also "insufficient thread locking around avcodec_open/close()" (I think recent versions of ffmpeg are much more picky about multiple threads in parallel: probably needs more mutex locks adding). I did find a patch on the softdevice-devel mailing list back in December (http://lists.berlios.de/pipermail/softdevice-devel/2009q4/003253.html) which sounded like it was a similar problem caused by a change to ffmpeg. That patch alters the timing between frames by using the variable repeat_pict provided by libavcodec. If I apply the patch, I get a seg fault because the parent structure hasn't been defined. I suspect further changes to ffmpeg since: it's a bit of a nightmare keeping up with changes there! My version of ffmpeg is current cvs but my vdr-1.7.0 build (with the same version of softdevice) runs fine built against it! I suspect I need to do a lot more digging here but before I do, I thought I'd check whether anyone has this working and if so, what version of ffmpef you're using. The softdevice project seems to have gone very quiet recently (why I'm posting here in the first instance!) which is a shame because it has "just worked" for me in the past with DirectFB output from a Matrox G450, with no extra layer of X required (this is a dedicated set-top-box affair). Cheers, Laz

xineliboutput UDP detach from stream
by Harald Overas 10 Aug '10

10 Aug '10

I have have witness the same behavior with screen blinking with xineliboutput (vdr-sxfe as remote client while connecting with TCP transport to the vdr-server) when changing the channels. I often get screen blinking when I change the channels to fast with my MCE remote (using the MCE remote arrows up and down for browsing through the channels). Using xine-lib-vdpau-1.2 (latest) and xineliboutput (latest) (vdr-sxfe 1.0.90-cvs (build with xine-lib 1.1.90, using xine-lib 1.1.90) Using this command string to connect: vdr-sxfe -fullscreen --width=1920 --height=1080 --tcp --audio=alsa --aspect=16:9 --lirc --video=vdpau --post tvtime:method=use_vo_driver --reconnect xvdr://${HOST}:${PORT} Thanks in advance, Harald
