VDRAdmin-AM-3.5.2: Autotimer missing
by Pasi Juppo 08 Jan '07

08 Jan '07

Hi, Upgraded to the most recent version of VDRAdmin (previous was 3.4.5a). Now AutoTimer menu item is missing and can't get it visible. There seems to be option for this (at least vdradmind.pl has reference to it) but does not matter if I change the status in vdradmind.pl or vdradmind.conf file (AUTOTIMER is missing from conf file - if it even should be there). How can I fix the problem? Br, Pasi

mplayer plugin -> no sound on vdr-1.4.4 ?
by Soeren Sonnenburg 07 Jan '07

07 Jan '07

Dear all, does anyone else observer that the mplayer plugin does no longer give sound output with vdr 1.4.4 ? Could it be that the sound device is somehow still locked/occupied by vdr ? I am using the latest vdr-mp3/mplayer (0.9.15) and it used to work with 1.4.1 ... so what changed ? Soeren

prevernting vdr restart on bad signal?
by Ali H.M. Hoseini 07 Jan '07

07 Jan '07

hi all, I've noticed that when the signal quality goes low ( high BER or high UNC), and if a timer records that channel simultaneously, the vdr exits continuously, and hence produces too many recording files. How should I prevent vdr from exit, in this situations? Thanks. John.

Seg Faults with remote vdr-sxfe
by Rob Davis 06 Jan '07

06 Jan '07

I am having trouble trying to get xineliboutput working correctly on ubuntu. I have three laptops, one with 6.10 (PPC), one with 6.06. I compiled xine-libs-1.1.3 whilst hiding the one already installed (1.1.1 on 6.06, 1.1.2 on 6.10) as I was having audio trouble with the default xine-lib. I have also compiled xinelibout-1.0.6. It all seems to work on my remote server ( a gentoo box running vdr 1.4.4) however, if there is any network lag both laptops die with a seg fault. I am at a loss to know how to fix this. I also get a seg fault using gxine and xine-ui. Any ideas?

[ANNOUNCE] VDR maintenance patch 1.4.4-3
by Klaus Schmidinger 05 Jan '07

05 Jan '07

VDR maintenance patch 1.4.4-3 is now available at ftp://ftp.cadsoft.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-1.4.4-3.diff This is a 'diff' against version 1.4.4-2 (which is the official version 1.4.4, patched with ftp://ftp.cadsoft.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-1.4.4-1.diff and ftp://ftp.cadsoft.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-1.4.4-2.diff). Small fixes to the officially released VDR versions will be first made available as "maintenance patches" in the Developer directory, so that they can be reviewed and tested before a new official release is published. So please apply the above patch and report whether it works (or if it causes any new problems). The changes since version 1.4.4-2: - Fixed a possible segfault if VDR gets terminated while a message is displayed (thanks to Udo Richter). - Fixed the INSTALL section on retrying shutdown later (reported by Udo Richter). - When entering text via the numeric keys, the characters are now checked against the allowed characters (thanks to Frank Schmirler). - Added a missing break statement in cCiHandler::OpenSession(). Have fun! Klaus

RFC: multiple channel sources in EPG
by Pjotr Kourzanov 04 Jan '07

04 Jan '07

Dear all, I have a request for change in EPG data format. Currently, a lot of space is wasted when dealing with EPG for massive amounts of channels which are available from several different sources. Suppose that CNN is receivable from 10 satellites. Then, 9x the size of EPG data for CNN of storage waste is observed, as dictated by VDR's epg.data format. I propose to change the VDR's epg.data format as follows. Now, for each channel we have: C <channel id> <channel name> What if we do C <channel id1> <channel id2> ... <channel idN> <channel name> or C <channel id1> <channel name1> <channel id2> <channel id2>... <channel idN> <channel nameN> if you prefer in BNR: C (<channel id> <channel name>?)* <channel id> <channel name> The semantics is that every name is for any preceding unnamed channel id(s). An alternative would be to introduce a form of redirection in epg.data, which is less attractive than this (backwards compatible) solution. What do you think? Greetings, Pjotr Kourzanov P.S. Massive amounts of (generated) EPG also make scripts like xmltv2vdr completely unusable - yesterday one run took ~9 hours for a moderately sized installation (50M of XML data).

flooded log when using status plugin
by Joachim Wilke 04 Jan '07

04 Jan '07

Hello everyone, when using the status plugin and tuning to a channel without an epg schedule, the syslog gets flooded with some hundreds of OsdProgramme messages: Nov 3 20:16:17 vdr vdr: [4676] status: cStatusTest::OsdChannel 2079 TechniSat Kanal 50 Nov 3 20:16:17 vdr vdr: [4676] status: cStatusTest::OsdProgramme Nov 3 20:16:17 vdr vdr: [4676] 01:00 (null) Nov 3 20:16:17 vdr vdr: [4676] (null) Nov 3 20:16:17 vdr vdr: [4676] 01:00 (null) Nov 3 20:16:17 vdr vdr: [4676] (null) Nov 3 20:16:17 vdr vdr: [4676] status: cStatusTest::OsdProgramme Nov 3 20:16:17 vdr vdr: [4676] 01:00 (null) Nov 3 20:16:17 vdr vdr: [4676] (null) Nov 3 20:16:17 vdr vdr: [4676] 01:00 (null) Nov 3 20:16:17 vdr vdr: [4676] (null) [...] These messages are caused by the else part in cDisplayChannel::DisplayInfo in menu.c: void cDisplayChannel::DisplayInfo(void) { if (withInfo && channel) { cSchedulesLock SchedulesLock; const cSchedules *Schedules = cSchedules::Schedules(SchedulesLock); if (Schedules) { const cSchedule *Schedule = Schedules->GetSchedule(channel); if (Schedule) { const cEvent *Present = Schedule->GetPresentEvent(); const cEvent *Following = Schedule->GetFollowingEvent(); if (Present != lastPresent || Following != lastFollowing) { SetTrackDescriptions(channel->Number()); displayChannel->SetEvents(Present, Following); cStatus::MsgOsdProgramme(Present ? Present->StartTime() : 0, Present ? Present->Title() : NULL, Present ? Present->ShortText() lastPresent = Present; lastFollowing = Following; } } else cStatus::MsgOsdProgramme(0, NULL, NULL, 0, NULL, NULL); } } } I would suggest removing the else part, because this MsgOsdProgramme call provides no information. As an alternative it should be limited to one call, similar to the check "(Present != lastPresent || Following != lastFollowing)" some lines above. Regards, Joachim.
