I'm sitting here with a €65 nvidia 8200-based motherboard playing 1080p videos with the cpu 97% idle using vdpau and ffmpeg! That's NOT software decoding if you ask me. And now that hdmi audio finally works with nvidia it's just awesome. I REALLY hope the xine guys will get this running soon. Btw, thanks to Klaus and the rest for all the work you put into this. /Magnus H

[Announce] vdr-fritzbox 1.1.3
by Joachim Wilke 20 Dec '08

20 Dec '08

For testing purposes, a new version of my plugins' development branch is available. Download as usual from http://www.joachim-wilke.de/vdr-fritz.htm --- 8< --- 2008-12-20: Version 1.1.3 - added a missing const in cTcpClient::&operator<< - fixed wrong type in comparisons to size_t in cFritzListener, cFritzTools - fixed wrong type in dsyslog output in cNotifyOsd, cLocalFonbuch, cMenuSetupFritzboxFonbooks - fixed compiler warning wrt comparison in cNotifyOsd - updated italian translations (provided by Diego [24]) - implemented reverse lookup function for +31 (Netherlands) - adapting plugin to new Fritz!Box firmware versions: * auto detecting charset encoding when retrieving phonebook entries * modified interface language detection (currently using a trial-and-error approach, because old approach is no longer supported by newest firmware) - splitted plugin into plugin application and three static libraries * libfritz++ (included all Fritz!Box specific functionality) * libtcpclient++ (providing tcp socket communication) * libpthread++ (providing pthread support, independant of VDRs implementation) With this, it is possible to use these libraries in other projects not related to VDR. - all socket communication of the plugin can now be traced into /tmp/tcpclient.trace. If this file exists at VDR startup, tracing is enabled. If not, tracing is disabled. If you experience problems with vdr-fritzbox, this trace may be helpful in debugging the issue. However, please be aware that this trace may contain password and other sensitive information. - modified logging to syslog. All log entries related to this plugin are now prefixed with "vdr-fritzbox:". - removed memory leak in cMenuSetupFritzbox::Store[MSN|Fonbooks] - fixed some compiler warnings that occur with recent compiler versions (4.3.x) - fixed missing includes which prevented compilation with recent compiler versions (4.3.x) --- 8< --- -- Best Regards, Joachim.

~/.xine/config_xineliboutput load/save and name changes
by Nicolas Huillard 20 Dec '08

20 Dec '08

Hi, I'm using xineliboutput on 3 VDR clients, sharing the same NFS root FS. All clients are a bit different, and I solved most of the issues with a separate VDR config dir for each client, basically running "/usr/bin/vdr -c /var/lib/vdr.$(hostname) ...". The problem is that xineliboutput seems to use a single ~/.xine/config_xineliboutput config file, stored in the home directory of the vdr user, which is defined by /etc/passwd, which is the same on all clients... Is there a way to tell xineliboutput which file to use ? Like adding a command-line param "--config=~/.xine/config_xineliboutput.$(hostname)" I can also copy a template ~/.xine/config_xineliboutput.$(hostname) file to ~/.xine/config_xineliboutput before starting VDR, but this raises the question : when do xineliboutput read this file (at startup, at each config change, at channel change ?), and write to it (at config change, shutdown ?) This method worked OK for a few days, under strict manual control, but I guess one client setting will eventually get read by another one, breaking it in the process. For the record: I'd like to add the following settings on the CLE266 clients only (these add hardware deinterlacing on a progressive VGA display, which also work very cleanly on an interlaced TV output, probably because xvmc_bob_deinterlacing does exactly the opposite as the VT1622 TV encoder, ie. alternate 25Hz fields at 50Hz): 1 # Use bob as accelerated deinterlace method. 2 # bool, default: 0 3 video.device.xvmc_bob_deinterlacing:1 4 5 # Make XvMC allocate more frames for better buffering. 6 # bool, default: 0 7 video.device.xvmc_more_frames:1 TIA -- NH

Help identify packets in MPEG-TS stream
by Artem Makhutov 17 Dec '08

17 Dec '08

Hello, I would like to get my STB playing back video streams from streamdev-server. The stream is transmitted my streamdev using IP-Multicast and can be played back without any problems with VLC, but the STB has big problems with the stream. The stream itself is from the ASTRA HD+ demo channel. In the stream I can see a lot of clear-text messages like: "Wilde Abenteuer und jede Menge Spaß und Action mit dem Tasmanischen Teufel" or "Der geht brutal gegen die Rebellen in den Wäldern vor. Bei ihrer Ankunft trifft Ofelia auf einen mysteriösen Faun" I does not look like this messages belong to the stream (they do not look like subtiles or audio-track descriptions). Could this be some kind of EPG data, or what is this? When streaming this recording using VLC as streaming server the STB can playback the stream without any problems, as this messages are removed by VLC. I have captured a few seconds of the stream: http://www.makhutov.org/downloads/adb/hdtv.pcap http://www.makhutov.org/downloads/adb/hdtv.ts Can you help me identifying what this messages are? Thanks, Artem

cTS2PES::write_ipack infinite recursion
by Andreas Pickart 17 Dec '08

17 Dec '08

Hello, VDR (1.6.0-2) crashed after stuffing the syslog with: vdr: [24126] ERROR: possible result buffer overflow, dropped 13 out of 13 byte vdr: [24126] ERROR: possible result buffer overflow, dropped 2048 out of 2048 byte A backtrace shows that the function cTS2PES::write_ipack (initially called from cTS2PES::instant_repack with Count=184) kept calling itself (from then on with Count=180 and the same "Data" pointer all the time). The variable "bite" was 4 on the first call and then 0 on all succeeding ones. It was a video pid being extracted, so the cVideoRepacker got called, and I suspect its "breakAt" return value lead to the "// should never happen" code that set "bite" to 0. Some state information from the cTS2PES instance: pid=1023 size=2052 found=2200 count=2052 cid=224 rewriteCid=224 subStreamId=0 plength=4194234 plen[0]=98 plen[1]=124 flag1=flag2=0 hlength=0 mpeg=0 check=0 mpeg1_required=mpeg1_stuffing=0 done=true tsErrors=2020124 ccErrors=697951 ccCounter=8 The high error counts obviously show that the received data (from DVB-S) was somehow defective (There were many "PES packet shortened" errors earlier), but ideally VDR shouldn't crash even when the data is broken... Can anyone please fix this issue? Greetings, Andreas
