streamdev client & server contention
by Simon Baxter 07 Nov '06

07 Nov '06

I've been trying all the available modes in the streamdev-server to find the one that suits my needs best. I have 2 VDRs, a server and a client. Ideally, I'd like them both to be able to change channel - and when the transponders need to change, one will just force the other to change as well. This is sort of possible with the"Client may suspend" set to "offer", but has some problems. 1. Server set to channel/transponder A 2. Client set to channel/transponder A -fine 3. Client changes to channel/transponder B -Client is switched -Server is also switched, and channel displayed but when you hit "OK" VDR thinks it's still on A! 4. Client changes to channel/transponder C -Client is switched -Server is also switched, and channel displayed but when you hit "OK" VDR thinks it's still on A! 5. Server tries to change to channel/transponder B -says 'channel not available' >From here, the only way I can get the Server to change channel/transponders is if I shut down VDR on the client, or go into plugins>streamdev-client and set connect to "no", and restart VDR (on the client) It'd be nice if there was a menu option on the client to disconnect the VTP session??

softdevice and epia tv-out problem with Xorg
by Leo Márquez 05 Nov '06

05 Nov '06

Hi!, Recently I have connected my vdr box to my CRT 16:9 TV. I use the s-video(I want to use the rca tv-out for digital audio) connector of my epia M.10000. I have followed some instructions to configure xorg with s-video out from this page: http://www.kingcot.eclipse.co.uk/unichrome/unichromeTvOut.html I don't know if this url is up to date. I have got see my wmaker desktop in my tv but when I start vdr with softdevice I get: [softdevice] initializing Plugin [softdevice] Initializing Video Out [softdevice] ffmpeg build(3345920) [XvVideoOut]: osd_image shmid = 2686978 [XvVideoOut]: got osd_image: width 720 height 576, bytes per line 2880 [softdevice] Subplugin successfully opend [softdevice] Video Out seems to be OK [softdevice] Initializing Audio Out [softdevice] Audio out seems to be OK [softdevice] A/V devices initialized, now initializing MPEG2 Decoder X Error of failed request: BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation) Major opcode of failed request: 145 (MIT-SHM) Minor opcode of failed request: 3 (X_ShmPutImage) Value in failed request: 0x2ff Serial number of failed request: 337 Current serial number in output stream: 338 I hope anyone could help me to solve this problem. Another question... Do you know any url to learn about epia-m10000 s-video out and xorg? Thanks.

ERROR: LIRC remote control thread xx won't end
by Markus Hahn 03 Nov '06

03 Nov '06

Hi there, due to debuging purposes I set in void cThread::Cancel(int WaitSeconds) WaitSeconds = 6000; between the waits of 3 seconds I syslog the message: "thread won`t end" . At vdr shutdown I get the (endless) error message : [vdr] ERROR: LIRC remote control thread xxx won't end _until_ I pressed any key. If Cancel() kills a thread, it ends up with a Segfault mostly. Does anybody noticed this behavior to? Maybe there must be another interrogation of Running() in lirc.c regards Markus

FF card a/v sync + dvd plugin
by Halim Sahin 02 Nov '06

02 Nov '06

Hi list, I tested a dvd with softdevice and the audio stuttering problem did not occur. With my FF-DVB card I can not watch a dvd and switch capters or use the jump feature of the dvd-plugin. What do you think about this. Perhaps this can be the same Problem with the dvd-plugin and the FF-DVB card a/v sync stuff? Best regards Halim Sahin

SVDRP connection freezes
by Tony Houghton 02 Nov '06

02 Nov '06

I'm writing an HTPC application called boxstar <http://boxstar.sourceforge.net>, and its latest functionality is to launch xine to watch VDR. The only way I could think of to be able to use both boxstar and VDR with the same remote control was to have boxstar always in charge of the remote and pass button presses on to VDR via the HITK svdrp command. The problem is that the svdrp connection has a tendency to freeze. I have to wait a few minutes for the socket to timeout at the system level. VDR's SVDRP timeout is set to 0, but I don't think that's making a difference. I think the reason other programs such as vdradmin work OK is that they open and close the connection for every command, but that approach is too sluggish for boxstar, which is supposed to be a transparent, primary interface to controlling VDR. For some reason the problem was much worse before I used Python's makefile() function, which is a sort of equivalent to C's fdopen() ie it buffers the socket and provides some more convenient, higher level ways to access it. Since using makefile() the problem has almost gone away, but it still happens very often when pressing the Red button to open the progress bar. FWIW I'm using df_xine with a Matrox G450's TV-out. -- TH * http://www.realh.co.uk
