Data stream broken - alternative way to react on this
by Pasi Juppo 10 Feb '07

10 Feb '07

Hi, Now when "ERROR: video data stream broken" occurs VDR performs emergency exit. This is frustrating when you don't have a script that automatically restarts VDR. Why not try different channel instead. If that works then let user know that there was a problem with channel XXX that you tried, try again later. This can be done also in case channel switch works fine but the problem occurs during viewing. In this case the channel is changed to some other channel and an error is displayed: there was an error with data stream, try again later. What do you think? Br, Pasi

Safer diseqc setup ?
by Gregoire Favre 10 Feb '07

10 Feb '07

Hello, I have a vdr system with 3 cards, all conected to a diseqc 1.0 which have a connection to 3 lnb on 3 sat (I have 3 quad lnb). Sofar I use : S19.2E 11700 V 9750 t v W15 [E0 10 38 F0] W15 [E1 10 38 F0] W15 [E1 10 38 F0] W15 t S19.2E 99999 V 10600 t v W15 [E0 10 38 F1] W15 [E1 10 38 F1] W15 [E1 10 38 F1] W15 T S19.2E 11700 H 9750 t V W15 [E0 10 38 F2] W15 [E1 10 38 F2] W15 [E1 10 38 F2] W15 t S19.2E 99999 H 10600 t V W15 [E0 10 38 F3] W15 [E1 10 38 F3] W15 [E1 10 38 F3] W15 T S13.0E 11700 V 9750 t v W15 [E0 10 38 F4] W15 [E1 10 38 F4] W15 [E1 10 38 F4] W15 t S13.0E 99999 V 10600 t v W15 [E0 10 38 F5] W15 [E1 10 38 F5] W15 [E1 10 38 F5] W15 T S13.0E 11700 H 9750 t V W15 [E0 10 38 F6] W15 [E1 10 38 F6] W15 [E1 10 38 F6] W15 t S13.0E 99999 H 10600 t V W15 [E0 10 38 F7] W15 [E1 10 38 F7] W15 [E1 10 38 F7] W15 T S28.2E 11700 V 9750 t v W15 [E0 10 38 F8] W15 [E1 10 38 F8] W15 [E1 10 38 F8] W15 t S28.2E 99999 V 10600 t v W15 [E0 10 38 F9] W15 [E1 10 38 F9] W15 [E1 10 38 F9] W15 T S28.2E 11700 H 9750 t V W15 [E0 10 38 FA] W15 [E1 10 38 FA] W15 [E1 10 38 FA] W15 t S28.2E 99999 H 10600 t V W15 [E0 10 38 FB] W15 [E1 10 38 FB] W15 [E1 10 38 FB] W15 T Which often works, but not always... Is there some other option I could use ? In case VDR can't tune to a channel, does it resend the diseqc commands ? Thank you very much, -- Grégoire FAVRE http://gregoire.favre.googlepages.com http://www.gnupg.org

vdr diseqc equivalence of szap diseqc n ?
by Gregoire Favre 10 Feb '07

10 Feb '07

Hello, since a few days, I try to configure my diseqc.conf for VDR without much success... Kaffeine and scan work out of the box. For szap I have made simultaneously : dvbscan -a 0 -s 0 -x 0 /usr/share/dvb/dvb-s/Astra-19.2E > diseqc-0 dvbscan -a 1 -s 1 -x 0 /usr/share/dvb/dvb-s/Hotbird-13.0E > diseqc-1 dvbscan -a 2 -s 2 -x 0 /usr/share/dvb/dvb-s/Astra-28.2E > diseqc-2 The first try on -a 1 -s 1 failed, I had to restart it, which worked immediatly. The VDR version I try is a vanilla 1.4.5-1 with only one plugin : xine. If a timer is running and I don't start xine plugin, vdr initiate the same emergency exit. Could someone tells me how to have the same diseqc setup in vdr as in scan ? One card in vdr works great (-D 0 or -D 1 or -D 2) but I can't use more... Thank you very much, -- Grégoire FAVRE http://gregoire.favre.googlepages.com http://www.gnupg.org

THANK YOU Reinhard Nissl (diseqc)
by Gregoire Favre 10 Feb '07

10 Feb '07

Hello, no, I don't cry with my "THANK YOU" :-) I just think that a "thank you" isn't enough ! The result of the thread in vdr ml "Safer diseqc setup ?" and "vdr diseqc equivalence of szap diseqc n ?" is that I found with the help of the patches for vdr and szap the problem in my setup, it was quiete a long job, but finally I got it. My diseqc was bad in a sense that it doesn't always work, wathever I tried, and one of my FF cards can't send diseqc commands at all, and also one of my Geniatech budget card, can't stay tuned, but always lost lock on any (TV) channels (radio work) and then regain lock, and then lost... Oh, that's not all : one of my window's passthruh was also "semi-broken"... So out of my six dvb cards, two are unusable, which lets me four usable cards :-) Well, maybe 3 usable is more accurate : one of those is an Hauppauge HVR-4000 which is only "supported" in http://linuxtv.org/hg/~stoth/multiproto but which don't compil against recent kernels, neither got diseqc support. So thank you, Reinhard Nissl, and all others involved in dvb/vdr !!! -- Grégoire FAVRE http://gregoire.favre.googlepages.com http://www.gnupg.org

Problems with a binary library
by vdr＠helmutauer.de 10 Feb '07

10 Feb '07

Hello List The em84xx plugin is using the libEM84xx.so library. This beast is only available binary and seems to be incompatible with glibc > 2.3.5 What can I do to get this combination working in a glibc >=2.4 environment ? Is it possible to create a static .la library bundled with these dependend libraries: ldd /usr/lib/libEM84xx.so linux-gate.so.1 => (0xffffe000) libpthread.so.0 => /lib/libpthread.so.0 (0xb7e03000) libm.so.6 => /lib/libm.so.6 (0xb7dde000) libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0xb7cbf000) /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x80000000) or are there any other possibilities

ts continuity error
by Halim Sahin 09 Feb '07

09 Feb '07

Hello, My problem was not the audiorepackager(xxx). I found some threads about these error in vdr-portal and modified vdr to get some more debug output. There were a lot of ts continuity errors reported through syslog. My machine has a athlon xp 1500 cpu and runs on a asrock mainboard with sis chipset. The errors are shown after recording some minutes on all channels. I tested to record over nfs to check the harddisk but that did not help. I tried it with vdr-1.4.5 without any plugins and patches etc. Now I have no ideas what I can try. The caudiorepackager errors are perhaps a result of dropped bytes before??? My card is a ff dvb-s 2.3 from technotrend. I do not currently use a cam. Last test-firmware and different drivers tested with no success. ((((((((((Please help))))))))) Best regards Halim

EPG Question (concerning BBC3 and BBC4)
by Brian 08 Feb '07

08 Feb '07

Hi, BBC3 and BBC4 only start to show programs at 19:00 UK time. My EPG for these programs comes via the internet. If I try to look at the EPG for those channels before 19:00, then they are not even shown in the list of programs I have EPG for on the OSD. I assume this is a desired behaviour of VDR. If so, any way to change it? I didn't find anyway in the Menus. Cheers Brian

vdr-xine loses OSD and sound
by Tuomas Jormola 08 Feb '07

08 Feb '07

Hello, I'm experiencing a strange problem with VDR and Xine plugin. When the system boots and Xine player connects to the vdr-xine socket for the first time, everything is working great. You can navigate OSD with keyboard (I'm using Xine remote) in any OSD display mode, sound works and all channels are available. However, things start to go wrong if I quit the Xine player and then launch it again and connect to vdr-xine. If any of the blend scaled OSD display modes is configured, no OSD is shown. X11 overlay display mode works. No sound can be heard at all (sound works ok from any other program using Alsa). Xine remote works though, as I can normally switch channels with keyboard. Also picture is ok, just no sound and no OSD in blend scaled OSD modes available. Restarting VDR doesn't fix this. Neither does unloading and then reloading the DVB card driver modules. You need to power down the system and reboot before everything will work fine again. Does anyone have any idea what could be wrong here? System: Ubuntu Edgy (kernel 2.6.17) Technotrend FF DVB-C 2.1 with firmware dvb-ttpci-01.fw-2622 Terratec Cinergy 1200 DVB-C nVidia Geforce 6200 with driver 8776 VDR 1.4.5, vdr-xine 0.7.10 (no other plugins besides vdr-xine) xine-lib and xine-ui from CVS compiled on 2006/12/12 xine is started using command: xine --post expand:centre_crop_out_mode=1 --post vdr_video --post vdr_audio --deinterlace --video-driver xvmc --audio-driver alsa --no- splash --fullscreen --hide-gui vdr://tmp/vdr-xine/stream#demux:mpeg_pes Alsa is configured to use optical audio port on the motherboard, which is connected to an external receiver. vdr-xine is configured to get primary device on Xine connect. -- Tuomas Jormola <tjormola(a)cc.hut.fi>
