Restoring recordings from image
by Kartsa 03 Jul '23

03 Jul '23

Hi I’ve had VDR running for almost 20 years now. Not continuously of course and occasionally I have updated the system and added more disk and new MB and CPU and so. My problem is that I had an external disk for saving recordings which did not fit on the internal hard disk and now the external disk has failed. I had XFS on the disk and I have been able to create an image of the disk (probably with big chunks missing) but I have not been able to restore any of the recordings from the image. I have tried with foremost but the problem is the ts files. Foremost does not recognise them out of the box and I would need some header/footer information of the files. But to my understanding the ts files have no special footer which would indicate the ending of a file. Have tried to recognise from current recordings the header and tried with that. Foremost has been able to restore the info files but those are not a big help. Anyway I was wondering if there are any tools that I could try to restore the recordings. I have tried a lot of different tools (including testdisk and photorec) but have not had any real luck. So any instructions and/or pointers would be appreciated :) BR \\Kartsa

Wake-on-timer rtcwake experiments on various PC hardware
by Marko Mäkelä 18 Apr '23

18 Apr '23

Today, I tested rtcwake on several x86 or x86-64 based computers. The outcome: (1) Suspend to RAM (say, "rtcwake -m mem -s 10"): * Success: Every system. (2) Wake-on-timer ("rtcwake -m no -s 120 && shutdown -h now" or "rtcwake -m off -s 120"): * Success: Lenovo Thinkpad X220 (2012?), and a 5-year-old desktop system * Fail: IBM Thinkpad X60 (Core Duo from 2006), a HP Zbook from 2016. (3) Suspend to disk ("rtcwake -m disk -s 120") had no chance of working, because I never configure any swap partition. I would assume that this could only work if (2) worked in the first place. On the Debian systems that I tried, the command would fail as expected. On one Arch Linux system (Lenovo Thinkpad X220), it forcibly power off the computer and fail to start automatically; a file system check ran on the manual power-on. GNU/Linux is the only operating system on each computer, and apart from the 32-bit Thinkpad X60, everything boots up via UEFI. In the BIOS setup of both the Thinkpad X60 and the HP laptop there are some settings related to powering up on timer. Maybe with something like nvram-wakeup (which was the only working option for a 2001 Intel Celeron machine) they could be made to work. Moral of the story: You can't expect wake-on-timer to "just work" even on relatively recent hardware. Possibly the chances are better with desktop or small-form-factor systems than with laptops.

Integartion with systemd and rtcwake
by Marko Mäkelä 15 Apr '23

15 Apr '23

Some time ago, I created the wiki page https://www.linuxtv.org/vdrwiki/index.php/Systemd that describes much of my VDR installation. On my Raspberry Pi, there is no real-time-clock. My low-tech solution for waking up VDR for recordings is that I set an alarm on my phone, to remind me to turn on VDR when needed. Today, I refined that a little by implementing an idle timeout shutdown when no further recording timers exist, or when they are in the distant enough future. I learned that there is a portable Linux tool "rtcwake" that should support whatever is needed by VDR. It is much simpler than the "nvram-wakeup" that I used almost 20 years ago. On my Raspberry Pi, basically any "rtcwake" commands will fail. That provided a good way of testing the fallback mechanisms of my shutdown script. I think that it could be useful to include some Systemd integration scripts in the VDR distribution. My systemd integration consists of 4 parts that are documented in the https://www.linuxtv.org/vdrwiki/index.php/Systemd wiki page: * /etc/systemd/system/vdr-keep-alive.sh to control system shutdown * /var/lib/vdr/vdr-shutdown.sh to handle VDR shutdown (vdr -s) * some configuration to have a VDR service in Systemd * optional: additional configuration to have the video directory on USB storage, to have VDR auto-start when the storage is plugged in. Because rtcwake does not work on my VDR system, it would be nice to get some feedback from users of wake-on-timer capable systems. It is possible that the "rtcwake -m disk -s $2" and "rtcwake -m mem -s $2" require that "vdr-keep-alive.sh stop" be invoked first and "vdr-keep-alive.sh start" be invoked once rtcwake successfully returns (at the wake-up time). It is also possible that the VDR process would need to be restarted. Best regards, Marko

Trying to run satip w/ Geniatech EyeTV Netstream 4Sat
by Harald Milz 30 Mar '23

30 Mar '23

Hi all, I'm trying to consolidate my stuff a bit and got a 4Sat these days. I'm trying to run VDR-2.6.0 with the satip plugin connecting to the Satip device. 4 receivers, 2x S19.2E, 2x S13.0E. So far, the LNB ran on a DD Cine PCI-E card just fine. (but I want to get rid of the server). (Tuner #4 is a Fritzbox cable receiver).

by Patrick Lerda 25 Feb '23

25 Feb '23

Beside preventing crashes with vdr-2.6.3 this is required to get vdr to work properly with the gcc thread sanitizer. --- ringbuffer.c | 18 +++++++++++++++++- ringbuffer.h | 3 +++ 2 files changed, 20 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/ringbuffer.c b/ringbuffer.c index 902c887..1c24df2 100644 --- a/ringbuffer.c +++ b/ringbuffer.c @@ -210,12 +210,16 @@ int cRingBufferLinear::DataReady(const uchar *Data, int Count) int cRingBufferLinear::Available(void) { + Lock(); int diff = head - tail; - return (diff >= 0) ? diff : Size() + diff - margin; + int available = (diff >= 0) ? diff : Size() + diff - margin; + Unlock(); + return available; } void cRingBufferLinear::Clear(void) { + Lock(); int Head = head; tail = Head; #ifdef DEBUGRINGBUFFERS @@ -224,11 +228,13 @@ void cRingBufferLinear::Clear(void) lastPut = lastGet = -1; #endif maxFill = 0; + Unlock(); EnablePut(); } int cRingBufferLinear::Read(int FileHandle, int Max) { + Lock(); int Tail = tail; int diff = Tail - head; int free = (diff > 0) ? diff - 1 : Size() - head; @@ -259,6 +265,7 @@ int cRingBufferLinear::Read(int FileHandle, int Max) lastHead = head; lastPut = Count; #endif + Unlock(); EnableGet(); if (free == 0) WaitForPut(); @@ -267,6 +274,7 @@ int cRingBufferLinear::Read(int FileHandle, int Max) int cRingBufferLinear::Read(cUnbufferedFile *File, int Max) { + Lock(); int Tail = tail; int diff = Tail - head; int free = (diff > 0) ? diff - 1 : Size() - head; @@ -297,6 +305,7 @@ int cRingBufferLinear::Read(cUnbufferedFile *File, int Max) lastHead = head; lastPut = Count; #endif + Unlock(); EnableGet(); if (free == 0) WaitForPut(); @@ -306,6 +315,7 @@ int cRingBufferLinear::Read(cUnbufferedFile *File, int Max) int cRingBufferLinear::Put(const uchar *Data, int Count) { if (Count > 0) { + Lock(); int Tail = tail; int rest = Size() - head; int diff = Tail - head; @@ -336,6 +346,7 @@ int cRingBufferLinear::Put(const uchar *Data, int Count) lastHead = head; lastPut = Count; #endif + Unlock(); EnableGet(); if (Count == 0) WaitForPut(); @@ -345,6 +356,7 @@ int cRingBufferLinear::Put(const uchar *Data, int Count) uchar *cRingBufferLinear::Get(int &Count) { + Lock(); int Head = head; if (getThreadTid <= 0) getThreadTid = cThread::ThreadId(); @@ -362,14 +374,17 @@ uchar *cRingBufferLinear::Get(int &Count) uchar *p = buffer + tail; if ((cont = DataReady(p, cont)) > 0) { Count = gotten = cont; + Unlock(); return p; } + Unlock(); WaitForGet(); return NULL; } void cRingBufferLinear::Del(int Count) { + Lock(); if (Count > gotten) { esyslog("ERROR: invalid Count in cRingBufferLinear::Del: %d (limited to %d)", Count, gotten); Count = gotten; @@ -387,6 +402,7 @@ void cRingBufferLinear::Del(int Count) lastTail = tail; lastGet = Count; #endif + Unlock(); } // --- cFrame ---------------------------------------------------------------- diff --git a/ringbuffer.h b/ringbuffer.h index 746fc51..cbaa12c 100644 --- a/ringbuffer.h +++ b/ringbuffer.h @@ -58,10 +58,13 @@ public: static void PrintDebugRBL(void); #endif private: + cMutex mutex; int margin, head, tail; int gotten; uchar *buffer; char *description; + void Lock(void) { mutex.Lock(); } + void Unlock(void) { mutex.Unlock(); } protected: virtual int DataReady(const uchar *Data, int Count); ///< By default a ring buffer has data ready as soon as there are at least -- 2.39.1

[ANNOUNCE] VDR version 2.6.4 released
by Klaus Schmidinger 18 Feb '23

18 Feb '23

VDR version 2.6.4 is now available at the official VDR GIT archive git://git.tvdr.de You can also get the latest stable version with git clone --branch stable/2.6 git://git.tvdr.de/vdr.git or as a tar archive with http://git.tvdr.de/?p=vdr.git;a=snapshot;h=refs/tags/2.6.4;sf=tbz2 This version fixes a few bugs that came up after the release of version 2.6.3. The changes since version 2.6.3: - Updated the Italian OSD texts (thanks to Diego Pierotto). - Fixed restoring the volume at program start (thanks to Matthias Senzel). - Fixed symmetry of Begin/EndSegmentTransfer() calls in cEIT::cEIT() (thanks to Jörg Wendel). - Added a note to epg.h about not messing with event ids (suggested by Winfried Köhler). - Added a note to vdr.5 about event ids possibly changing when an event moves from one table to another. - Fixed initializing cDvbPlayerControl (was broken in version 2.6.3). - Reverted 'Fixed a possible crash if an editing process is canceled while the edited recording is being replayed' (introduced in version 2.6.2), because it caused a deadlock when moving recordings between volumes. - Fixed a possible crash if an editing process is canceled while the edited recording is being replayed (new solution). - Fixed unnecessary interruption of ongoing recordings if timers avoided the transfer mode receiver device (thanks to Markus Ehrnsperger). - Revised support for kernel based LIRC driver (thanks to Marko Mäkelä).
