vdr-sxfe or xine-ui ?
by Tarik CHOUGUA 11 Apr '15

11 Apr '15

Hi, I'm using vdr with xineliboutput plugin. When using vdr-sxfe as a frontend, sometimes it reset 'engine_video_frame_buffer' to 250 in the config_xineliboutput file. How can I fix that ? I heard that vdr-sxfe is no more supported, and it is better to use xine-ui with libxine2-xvdr. Is that true ? Thank you

vdr + rpihddevice + skinnopacity
by Jouni Karvo 02 Apr '15

02 Apr '15

hi, I have the following problem: when pressing "menu" with my Raspberry pi Lirc, VDR crashes: Mar 31 13:51:09 vdrfe vdr: [2456] rpihddevice: [OpenVG] cannot allocate pixmap of 2804px x 781px, clipped to 2048px x 781px! Mar 31 13:51:09 vdrfe vdr: [2469] rpihddevice: [EGL] failed to create pixel buffer surface: bad alloc! Mar 31 13:51:09 vdrfe vdr: [2456] rpihddevice: [OpenVG] failed to create pixmap! (allocation failed) setup: - vdr 2.2.0 - raspberry pi current git - skinnopacity 1.1.3 + the second version of skinnopacity remotetimers patch - remotetimers v 1.0.1 I have set gpu_mem to 256M With rpihddevice from git Mar 8th, no crashes, but I could not use accelerated OSD (the subtitles did not work). I pulled the repository again about a week ago, and got accelerated osd working. Yesterday the problem I described started, and I re-pulled the git, because it seemed there was a fix. Not working. When not using accelerated OSD, it works fine, but rendering subtitles takes so long that there is hardly time to read them. Any suggestions? Should I insert more debug info? (what and how?) yours, Jouni

raspbian apt repo with up to date vdr packages?
by Torgeir Veimo 27 Mar '15

27 Mar '15

I've been testing out VDR on a raspberry pi 2 with excellent result using rpihddevice and am wondering if anyone know of any good APT repository with up to date packages for VDR and plugins? Am currently using raspbian which has VDR 1.7.28, so it's a bit behind. -- -Tor

select() problem seen with vdr-plugin-streamdev 0.6.1
by Hans Petter Selasky 26 Mar '15

26 Mar '15

Hi, I'm seeing this strange problem that a select statement in the streamdev server is returning EBADF and then the streamdev server exits and refuse to accept more connections. This typically happens when trying to stream a specific channel. Trying to stream other channels does not exhibit this problem. I can recompile code and try patches. I've made simple and crude patch to make the streamdev server plugin a bit more fault tolerant. See attachment. OS: FreeBSD-11-current Driver: Wecamd (Same as what is in Linux 3.18) BTW: Thank you for keeping VDR up to date! --HPS

raspberry pi media player with VDR
by Damien Bally 23 Mar '15

23 Mar '15

Hi It doesn't seem that the rpihddevice plugin integrates a media player (as the xine plugin does). Is there a simple way to play video files using omxplayer or other within VDR ? Thanks Damien

I am in the process. Using the instructions from http://www.vdr-wiki.de/wiki/index.php/Kategorie:Raspbian_VDR_Streaming_Clie… It seems that concerning streamdev patches: not needed for streamdev. And one hunk needs to be manually applied for remotetimers for 2.2.0 For some reason; skinnopacity + remotetimers seems to cause the menus flash in and out. Tried the latest tarball. Now trying the git. I hope it works; I prefer the default skinnopacity over lcars. yours, Jouni

The VDR User Counter no longer requires you to enter an actual name, so you can register totally anonymously now. Go to http://www.tvdr.de/counter.htm if you're using VDR and help us in finding out how popular VDR really is. Klaus

VDR User Counter: now with map!
by Klaus Schmidinger 04 Mar '15

04 Mar '15

I have refurbished the VDR User Counter (see http://www.tvdr.de/counter.htm) and added a map of all registered VDR users. You can now also enter the number of VDRs you are using (default is '1' for existing entries). I'm asking all registered users to please access their entries and verify the "Location" (and adjust it as desired). By default the location is determined from the IP number and may be way off. Please make sure you press the "Change" button in the editing dialog to verify your location, even if you don't adjust it! Registered users have received an email upon registration, containing a link to the page where they can edit their entry. If that link got lost, a new one can be requested via the "Forgot your password?" function (see http://www.tvdr.de/cgi-bin/vdr-counter.pl?action=forgot). I would appreciate if many VDR users update their counter entries, or newly register their VDRs. Klaus
