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

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
