xineliboutput and streamdev at the same time
by Patrick Boettcher 12 May '15

12 May '15

Hi list, I'm planning to update my infrastructure according to the follow scheme: http://filter-failure.eu/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/vdr-new-backend.png The red texts are things where I'm unsure about. Especially the usage of vdr-sxfe on the RPI. I made this chart before finding out that there is rpihddevice and a recommended streamdev-usage. This shows that I have a need for streamdev and xineliboutput (as others on this list). Is there problem with running the xineliboutput and streamdev-server plugins at the same time on a vdr-host? When will we start facing problems using the xineliboutput-plugin with VDR? What is most likely to break first in this case? Thanks for any comments, -- Patrick.

No sound using radio plug-in after update to VDR 2.2
by Matthias Lötzke 06 May '15

06 May '15

Hello All, I updated from VDR 1.42 with radio plug-in 0.9.1 running on Debian Wheezy to VDR 2.2 with radio plug-in 1.0.0 on Debian Jessie. For output I am using the TT S2-6400 dvbhddevice with drivers from http://linuxtv.org/hg/~endriss/media_build_experimental Using VDR 1.42 the radio plug-in worked fine. With VDR 2.2 and radio plug-in activated the sound stops whenever I switch to a radio channel. If the plug-in is deactivated everything works as expected. Has anyone else observed this problem? Is there a known solution? Best regards Matthias

rpi + server removed almost all recordings
by Jouni Karvo 03 May '15

03 May '15

hi, I have a Raspberry Pi frontend (vdr 2.2.0) with a server (vdr 2.0.6 from yavdr). Last night the disk was full, and vdr started to remove old recordings. For some reason, they did not remove just enough to fit in the new recordings, but cleared about 2TB of old recordings. Earlier, (with a self-compiled 2.2.0 server side) vdr only cleared just enough to fit the new recordings. The "removing" messages appear on the raspberry side. As it is not the one recording, I think it would be logical if the vdr instance that is actually recording would also do the cleanup. I wonder if there is a way to prevent it from removing recordings? I did not find a setup option for that. Or is the problem somewhere else? yours, Jouni

from xineliboutput to ... perhaps softhdddevice?
by Matthias Wächter 26 Apr '15

26 Apr '15

Hi, I am currently using xineliboutput, and I'm using it with "--local=none" everywhere so I can attach and detach from anywhere in the LAN, even from the PC VDR is running on. It's working quite nicely this way. Upside: No local configuration on any PC, no concurrency issues with timers, channel updates etc.. just call "vdr-sxfe <host>" and you're in the game. Downside: Multiple connected clients at the same time get the same programme, OSD, etc. [skippy/hanging video for adapting to the different client speeds, OSD sizing issues for different client resolutions] Is there an equivalent solution which I read to be a more recent/better supported alternative? AFAIK softhddevice is similar to xineliboutput but lacks remote features, behaves like xineliboutput with "--local=sxfe --noremote", but I could be wrong. This doesn't look like a viable alternative to my current network architecture. While streamdev and VNSI/XVDR solve some of the issues, most notably the multi-client dependency, they create new ones. No native OSD with VNSI/XVDR, VDR configuration synchronization hassle with streamdev. Is there any other thin-client streaming solution with native VDR OSD available? Any other suggestions? Thanks, - Matthias

EPG lost after restarting vdr
by Zouhair 24 Apr '15

24 Apr '15

Hi, how to make vdr save epg data ? I use xmltv2vdr to retrieve epg database, so is need about 5 minutes to put in to vdr. Should always run xmltv2vdr after restarting vdr ? the epg.data is configured to be stored in /home/.config/vdr/ with right permission, but no file created :( Here cmd line: /usr/bin/vdr -v /home/Video -c /home/.config/vdr -L /usr/lib/vdr -r /usr/lib/vdr/vdr-recordingaction -s -E /home/.config/vdr/epg.data ... there may be a setup that I ignored ? Thanks. using: vdr version 2.2.0 (compiled from source without any patch) debian jessie i386 linux 3.19.0

EPG Problem on vdr 2.2.0
by Risto Pajula 20 Apr '15

20 Apr '15

Hello. After rebuilding my HTPC I have run into a problem in the EPG data retrieval. The vdr is not able to retrieve any EPG data from DVB-T broadcast. My system consist of. Opensuse 13.2 x64 based system Linux kernel 3.16.7-7-desktop Hauppauge WinTV-NOVA-T-500 using dvb-usb-dib0700-1.20.fw firmware. vdr built from source... And I'm located in Finland (Vaasa). I have tracked this bug down to the changes between the vdr 2.0.5 and the 2.0.6, and are it still existing in the vdr 2.2.0... This exactly same issue was described in may 2014 by another user. http://www.vdr-portal.de/board79-international/board80-software/123136-epg-… Any help would be appreciated to find the bug... BR. Risto

Softhddevice help
by Tarik CHOUGUA 16 Apr '15

16 Apr '15

Hi, I just switched to softhddevice, it works great on SD channels but I can't watch HD ones. On HD channels, I'm hearing the sound but the picture is buggy and only shows the last SD channel's frame. I start softhddevice with : -P'softhddevice -d :0.0 -v vdpau' The syslog shows the following error 'video/vdpau: decoder rendering failed: An invalid handle value was provided.' How can I fix that pls ? Another thing, there is too much options in softhddevice OSD plugin configuration. Is there a good beginner tutorial I can read for these options pls ? Thank you. Tarik
