Edit fails unexpectedly / Edit commands not queued. Why?
by Patrick Rother 12 Dec '07

12 Dec '07

Dear Klaus and vdr folks. I experience one possible bug and one missing function in regard to cutting/editing recordings. First, if there is an uneven number of cutting marks, and the last mark is at the very end (last frame) of the recording, then editing fails at this last mark, and the newly created edited recording gets deleted. I suggest to change this to simply ignore any start mark that is at the very end of the recording. Second, if I have to edit a fistfull of recordings, I would expect that the edit commands are queued and processed one after the other, but it seems there is only one editing possible at one time: edit 115 250 Editing recording "115" [15.09.07 20:11 raid~Filme~Star Trek~Star Trek - Der erste Kontakt] edit 116 554 Editing process already active Maybe is is possible to implement a queuing for this? Thank you.

[patch] avoid inheritance of file descriptors
by Deti Fliegl 11 Dec '07

11 Dec '07

Hi, I think there is a problem in calling external programs from plugins. If such a program takes some while for execution (even in background) it gets inherited all file descriptors of VDR. This prevents vdr from zapping to another channel or even from restarting properly. You will see messages like: ERROR: /dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr0: Device or resource busy or ERROR (svdrp.c,84): Address already in use Reason: By default unix inherits all file descriptors to child processes when calling exec*(...) or system(...). You can avoid this by setting FD_CLOEXEC on all file descriptors that should not be inherited. Patch: --- dvbdevice.c~ 2007-12-10 15:19:51.116943936 +0100 +++ dvbdevice.c 2007-12-10 15:19:51.120944682 +0100 @@ -63,6 +63,7 @@ int fd = open(FileName, Mode); if (fd < 0 && ReportError) LOG_ERROR_STR(FileName); + fcntl(fd, F_SETFD, FD_CLOEXEC); return fd; } --- svdrp.c~ 2007-12-10 15:20:12.476929058 +0100 +++ svdrp.c 2007-12-10 15:20:12.480929804 +0100 @@ -91,7 +91,7 @@ LOG_ERROR; return false; } - oldflags |= O_NONBLOCK; + oldflags |= O_NONBLOCK|FD_CLOEXEC; if (fcntl(sock, F_SETFL, oldflags) < 0) { LOG_ERROR; return false; Comments, ideas? I would be happy to see this little patch applied to 1.4 and 1.5 trunks of VDR. Deti

VDR and UPnP server
by sundararaj reel 10 Dec '07

10 Dec '07

Hi, I am looking for a UPnP server that can stream VDR's recordings in my network. Has any work already started ? I read a couple of emails on this topic but those were sent two years ago. I am interested to hear what others have already done in this regard. Thanks, Sundararaj

ct 26/07: TT FullFeatured h264?
by ml11＠trigfee.de 10 Dec '07

10 Dec '07

In ct 26/2007 p150 it is said that full featured cards allmost vanished after almost everybody had more than enought cpu power available. But they see a renaissance since even a lot of new pc are not strong enough for h264. They state that Techno Trend has announced such an aktive card (defined before as one with hardware decoder) for next spring! Does anyone know more? Michael

xineliboutput X11 window has nearly invisible menus
by Tobias Brink 09 Dec '07

09 Dec '07

Hello. I set up VDR (1.4.7) with xineliboutput (1.0.0~rc2) on a VIA EPIA SP-8000E. For xineliboutput I use an X11 window with the xxmc driver. X is set up to do TV out (PAL) via the composite jack. My problem is now that I can barely see the menu on my TV. The menu is very transparent and no option in the plugin settings menu seems to change this. Interestingly the menu is all right when viewed via vdr-sxfe. There I can toggle transparency and adjustment but it doesn't have any effect on my TV. Is this a known problem or has anyone any tips for me? Searching google and the list archives didn't yield anything related. I'd appreciate any help, Tobias

Playback too fast..
by JJussi 09 Dec '07

09 Dec '07

Hi! Have anybody notice that playback is little bit too fast.. Here easy way to determit that.. 1. Select channel X and press REC to start recording 2. Change channel to Y 3. Start playback of recording of point 1. 4. Press Enter to get progress bar. Make note how many seconds behind you are from live. 5. OK, shall we assume that you are now 10 seconds behind... 6. After 5 minutes, make note how much gap is now.. OH! It's only 5 seconds... 7. After next 5 minutes playback WILL STOP and you are now watching live channel Y (from point 2.) ;-) -- JJussi

remote.conf file syntax ?
by Xavier Beaudouin 08 Dec '07

08 Dec '07

Hello, I have (with somewhat difficulties) to configure vdr with softdevice plugins on vesa fb (don't want X11 stuff and directfb doesn't seems to work on Ati Radeon 9100 IGP). I have also stopped to try to use a DXR3 card as well ;(. My problem is that I have some /etc/lirc/lircd.conf file for my remote control, but I cannot map the controls I have in /etc/lirc/lircd.conf into remote.conf. Vdr tell me to go to hell with a "error in remote.conf". lircd.conf file is http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Hauppauge_WinTV-NOVA-T-500 , with kernel 2.6.23.9 and v4l drivers of my Nova-T-500. I used the file from http://www.vdr-wiki.de/wiki/index.php/Struktur with the help of google translate to adapt german text into french. Any help ? /Xavier

CI module blocks recieving of FTA channels
by zzocmertt 08 Dec '07

08 Dec '07

Hello list, I have in a Gentoo system, a Hauppauge Nexus-S card (FF card), which is used with vdr 1.4.6 (media-video/vdr-1.4.6) and with firmware version 1 (media-tv/linuxtv-dvb-firmware-1) and dvb lib 0.5.5.1 (media-libs/libdvb-0.5.5.1-r3). De kernel is 2.6.23-gentoo-r3. In this configuration, I can recieve the FTA channels as defined in the default channels.conf (/etc/vdr/channels.conf). When a connect a 3.5 inch Hauppauge CI module (http://www.linuxtv.org/vdrwiki/index.php/Common_interface with white front panel, http://www.hauppauge.com/html/dvb_s.htm, bottom of page) to the Hauppauge Nexus card, I can no longer recieve the FTA channels (no image, no sound, no EPG, no new descriptors, no timeout on a choosen channel). It does not matter if a insert a CAM (Alphacrypt) or not. I don't have a working smartcard right now, so I did not test that. If I do insert the CAM, in the log file, the message is found: Dec 8 11:33:39 vdr_gentoo vdr: [29572] warning: Resetting CAM... Dec 8 11:33:42 vdr_gentoo vdr: [29572] info: CAM has been reset The LED on the CAM is on as well, so it has power, but still no FTA channels visible. On the mailing list was this: http://www.linvdr.org/mailinglists/vdr/2005/03/msg00573.html, which looks familiar, with one difference: In that email, nothing was stated about the FTA channels. My question is: When I have a CI module connected to the Nexus card, should I then still be able to see the FTA channels ?
