Soft RAID-5 + LVM file system corruption
by Alex Betis 26 Dec '08

26 Dec '08

Hello all, A system question, not so VDR related, but I hope someone in the list use the same configuration. >From time to time my system won't boot since ext3 file system got corrupted and asks me to log in as root and run fsck manually. No bad blocks are found, just incorrectly stored nodes that are always fixed. I have 3 320GByte SATA disks partitioned to several large partitions, those partitions are configured to software RAID-5 between disks and on those RAID-5 partitions there are 2 LVM volumes, one for system and another for storage. There are also 250 MByte partition on every disk, while 2 of them are configured to software RAID-1 and mapped to /boot. System LVM gets corrupted more often since its used more intensively. Does anybody here have the same configuration? Or any other software RAID-5 configuration? Did anyone faced such problems? Maybe someone facing the same problem without RAIDs? Any help will be appreciated. I'm running on Fedora 10 with 2.6.27 kernel. I had the same problem with Fedora 8 as well. Thanks. Alex.

Playback stops when recording starts, vdr 1.6.0-2
by Malte Schröder 25 Dec '08

25 Dec '08

Hello, I am not certain when it startet (i.e. this used to work in the past), but when I watch a vdr-recording (or dvd or whatever) and a recording on my TT-FF DVB-S card starts the playback stops. I am using vdr 1.6.0-2 with patches MainMenuHooks, vdr-jumpplay, pluginparam and liemikuutio applied. The kernel is 2.6.28-rc9 with current v4l-dvb mercurial snapshot. Does anyone observe the same behaviour? Kind regards Malte Schröder

How to setup VDR to receive from multiple satellites?
by Artem Makhutov 25 Dec '08

25 Dec '08

Hello, I would like to setup VDR to receive from 2 different sattelites. Currently I have 3 DVB-S cards in my VDR box, and all are connected to a single dish pointing to astra 19.2E. I have installed a second dish pointing to Sirius 4.8E and would like to connect this dish to VDR. Is it possible to connect one of the DVB-S cards directly to the second dish and setup VDR somehow to use this one DVB-S card only to receive channels from Sirius and not trying to use it to tune to Astra channels? Later on I would like to install one Diseqc switch, so that one of the cards can switch between the two sattelites. Is this possible with only one Diseqc switch, or must I use 3 Diseqc switches and connect all of my DVB-S cards to the two dishes? Thanks, Artem

S2API wrapper patch 0.5 for VDR-1.7.2
by Udo Richter 25 Dec '08

25 Dec '08

Hi list, I've released the successor of the Multiproto dvb api wrapper patch. As its predecessor, the patch allows VDR-1.7.2 to be run on kernels without S2API support by wrapping S2API calls to old API calls. Behavior can be configured in Make.config again: DEFINES += -DDVB_S2API_RUNTIME=1 enables the runtime detection (default) (NOT YET WORKING!) DEFINES += -DDVB_S2API_RUNTIME=0 disables the runtime detection DEFINES += -DDVB_S2API_WRAPPER=1 enables the API wrapper (default on old DVB headers and if runtime detection is enabled) DEFINES += -DDVB_S2API_WRAPPER=0 disables wrapper and runtime detection. Can be used to compile S2API without proper DVB headers. (default on new DVB headers and runtime detection disabled) Auto-detection will be back as soon as I know of a working mechanism to detect the presence of S2API drivers. Get it: http://www.udo-richter.de/vdr/patches.en.html#dvb-api-wrapper http://www.udo-richter.de/vdr/patches.html#dvb-api-wrapper Cheers, Udo

VAAPI patches for FFmpeg & MPlayer
by Goga777 24 Dec '08

24 Dec '08

These patches add VA API support to FFmpeg and MPlayer. HW video decode capabilities depend on the actual VA API implementation. Besides, from an MPlayer perspective, only full-offload (VLD) of the video is supported for the following codecs: MPEG-2 MPEG-4 ASP (DivX) MPEG-4 AVC (H.264) http://www.splitted-desktop.com/~gbeauchesne/mplayer-vaapi/ http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/vaapi

Installing a dvb-t card
by Daniel Tahin 24 Dec '08

24 Dec '08

Hello, i'm a newbie in dvb-t under Linux. Perhaps my problem is alredy solved, or discussed. I would like to use a tv-card (Compro T750; it has an analog and dvb-t tuner) under Linux, because the software for windows has some annoying bug. If i try to load the driver (modprobe saa7134 i2c_scan=1), this appears after dmesg: saa7130/34: v4l2 driver version 0.2.14 loaded saa7133[0]: found at 0000:02:01.0, rev: 209, irq: 21, latency: 32, mmio: 0xfb004000 saa7133[0]: subsystem: 185b:c900, board: UNKNOWN/GENERIC [card=0,autodetected] saa7133[0]: board init: gpio is 94bf00 saa7133[0]: i2c eeprom 00: 5b 18 00 c9 54 20 1c 00 43 43 a9 1c 55 d2 b2 92 saa7133[0]: i2c eeprom 10: 00 ff 86 0f ff 20 ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff saa7133[0]: i2c eeprom 20: 01 40 01 03 03 01 03 01 08 ff 00 89 ff ff ff ff saa7133[0]: i2c eeprom 30: ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff saa7133[0]: i2c eeprom 40: ff d7 00 c4 86 1e 05 ff 02 c2 ff 01 ff ff ff ff saa7133[0]: i2c eeprom 50: ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff cb saa7133[0]: i2c eeprom 60: 30 ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff saa7133[0]: i2c eeprom 70: ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff saa7133[0]: i2c eeprom 80: ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff saa7133[0]: i2c eeprom 90: ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff saa7133[0]: i2c eeprom a0: ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff saa7133[0]: i2c eeprom b0: ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff saa7133[0]: i2c eeprom c0: ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff saa7133[0]: i2c eeprom d0: ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff saa7133[0]: i2c eeprom e0: ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff saa7133[0]: i2c eeprom f0: ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff saa7133[0]: i2c scan: found device @ 0x1e [???] saa7133[0]: i2c scan: found device @ 0xa0 [eeprom] saa7133[0]: i2c scan: found device @ 0xc2 [???] saa7133[0]: i2c scan: found device @ 0xc4 [???] saa7133[0]: i2c scan: found device @ 0xd0 [???] saa7133[0]: registered device video0 [v4l2] saa7133[0]: registered device vbi0 I'm not sure if i should install video4linux or linuxtv to recognize the card (or at least the dvb-t tuner on the card). Linux is Fedora 9, kernel: 2.6.25-14. And if i start VDR, i get this: vdr: no primary device found - using first device vdr version is 1.6.0. Could someone help me please? Thanx in advance, Daniel

EPG for Hotbird / russian programmes
by Harald Milz 23 Dec '08

23 Dec '08

Hi, now that my VDR works fine with 2 satellites thanks to the help of some kind folks here and the SourceCaps patch (did I mention it should be in the mainstream VDR?) I have now a couple of FTA programmes in russian language for my better half :-) The only problem is, none of these programmes carry any EPG information. The schedules are available on the web sites, mostly. Has somebody written a plugin that retrieves the schedules and creates proper EPG data from them? I might but not too soon... I understand this task can be a pain in <pick your favourite body part> because people use no SOA interfaces. TBNRussia provides an Excel file (yuck). TIA! -- Reader, suppose you were an idiot. And suppose you were a member of Congress. But I repeat myself. -- Mark Twain

incompatibiliy between radio plugin and all mp3 plugins
by Wolfgang Rohdewald 23 Dec '08

23 Dec '08

in cPluginRadio::Replaying(), radio.c expects the replayed recording to be a VDR record. But mp3plugins like mp3, music, muggle use this mechanism for simple audio files. So if both plugins are loaded, radio will emit messages like vdr: [16883] ERROR: /Musik/shout/Bach/Johann Sebastian Bach - Adagio ma non tanto.mp3/001.vdr: Ist kein Verzeichnis Now my question is: Is this mechanism is thought to be used only for VDR recordings ore more generally - the latter I hope. A simple solution would be if the radio plugin could check if the recording is actually a VDR recording. Right now it just calls cFileName fn(FileName, false, true); maybe a VDR core helper function like isVDRRecording would be helpful for this. -- Wolfgang

Regression from a fix in VDR 1.4.1: Needless blocking of CAM DVB cards
by Jörn Reder 21 Dec '08

21 Dec '08

Hiho, I recently upgraded to VDR from 1.4 to 1.6.0 and sadly there is a regression from a bug which was fixed in VDR 1.4.1. The problem is described (with patches) in this thread: http://www.linuxtv.org/pipermail/vdr/2006-August/010312.html The changelog entry of the fix: 2006-08-13: Version 1.4.1-4 - Changed the way a device is selected for receiving in order to keep devices with CAMs better available, even if this means recording on the primary device (reported by Jörn Reder; thanks to Anssi Hannula for improving handling Transfer Mode devices in this). With vdr 1.4 this worked perfectly, now with 1.6 VDR always prefers my Budget CI card for recordings so I can't view any Pay TV when a recording is active. Obivously I vote for changing 1.6 to the old behaviour again ;) Thanks, Jörn -- $a=$a[8][67][9][0][42][214][82][78][0][50][69][68][69][82][0][73][78][0] [65][0][20][16][0][68][73][77][69][78][83][73][79][78][65][76][0][65][82 ][82][65][89]=sub{sub _($){print$_[@z]}($z,$i)=@_;(++$i)while!$z->[$i];$ s+=$i;_ chr($i+32);$s!=2292&&&$a($z->[$i],$c>>$e)};&$a(\@a,$d<<$f);_"\n"
