Making a cList object thread safe?
by Christian Wieninger 20 Aug '06

20 Aug '06

Hi, what is the best way to make a cList derived object thread safe? I have an object derived from cList and access it in the main thread and also in a background thread. The main thread access can modify the object (insert, edit, delete or even reload the complete list) while the background thread will only read the list. So e.g. a reload in the main thread could cause a crash in the background thread, if it just loops through the list. There are already some synchronisation methods in VDR (cMutex, cThreadLock,...). Is there any preferred method to solve my problem? Is there any plugin that already handled and solved this? Thanks, Christian

VDR with ATSC card -- need help
by mlists 17 Aug '06

17 Aug '06

Hi there, I have an Air2PC Skystar 2 card and a Twinhan 1020a. I've been using the Twinhan for several years now with VDR and am quite happy with how its working. I recently added the Air2PC card. Both are seen by the OS: 00:0b.0 Multimedia video controller: Brooktree Corporation Bt878 Video Capture (rev 11) 00:0b.1 Multimedia controller: Brooktree Corporation Bt878 Audio Capture (rev 11) 00:0c.0 Network controller: Techsan Electronics Co Ltd B2C2 FlexCopII DVB chip / Technisat SkyStar2 DVB card (rev 02) The twinhan is under /dev/dvb/adapter0 and the Air2PC is under /dev/dvb/adapter1. VDR verion 1.4.1-3 I confirmed in my sources.conf that I have an entry for C Cable. Would that be what to use for ATSC Cable (North America)? This is the single channel line I'm using to try and get this working: :@6 A-Channel:729:C0M256:C:0:21:24:0:1:6:0:0:0 Details are: Freq (Mhz) 729.0 QAM_256 C Video PID 21 Audio PID 24 CA 1 (for card number 1? -- does this start at 0? I've tried different numbers here) SID 6 (Same as channel I believe) Every attempt to change to this channel results in a "Channel not Available". Any suggestions?? Thanks in advance! Norm

[Fwd: QAM in vdr]

Clem sent me this email and asked me to share it with the list. He was able to get VDR working with ATSC. Please see below. Thx Norm -------- Forwarded Message -------- From: Herbert, Clem R. <<email addressed removed>> To: mlists(a)dressler.ca Subject: QAM in vdr Date: Thu, 17 Aug 2006 10:21:54 -0500 Hi Norm, I saw your post on the mailing list and I wanted to add to the info Klaus found (in a post from me). Sorry my old email is bad now, I opened it to avoid spam and didn’t use it enough so it was deleted ☹ I’ll try and find the best way to rejoin the list. BTW, I sent a copy of this to Klaus. It would be cool if you could repost this on the list in the meantime, for the other readers. Just please scramble my email address so that the spam bots don’t find me ;) Anyway, I managed to view ATSC OTA (8vsb with antenna) and QAM 256 (usa digital cable) here in Houston using that patch. I'm using the Dvico Fusion 5 Lite ATSC card. I don’t know anything about dvb programming (yet) so I can’t get guide info and such. Also, I made simple script to convert the azap output of dvb-apps/atscscan to convert the output to current vdr format (vdr output switch in atscscan complains that vdr won’t do ATSC). ************************************************** Cleaner ATSC patch diff -Naur vanilla/channels.c atsc/channels.c --- vanilla/channels.c 2006-03-16 21:48:57.285953250 -0600 +++ atsc/channels.c 2006-03-16 21:48:48.469402250 -0600 @@ -50,6 +50,7 @@ const tChannelParameterMap ModulationValues[] = { { 0, QPSK }, + { 8, VSB_8 }, { 16, QAM_16 }, { 32, QAM_32 }, { 64, QAM_64 }, diff -Naur vanilla/dvbdevice.c atsc/dvbdevice.c --- vanilla/dvbdevice.c 2006-03-16 21:48:57.289953500 -0600 +++ atsc/dvbdevice.c 2006-03-16 21:53:43.739855500 -0600 @@ -263,6 +263,19 @@ lockTimeout = DVBC_LOCK_TIMEOUT; } break; + case FE_ATSC: { // ATSC + + // Frequency and symbol rate: + + Frontend.frequency = FrequencyToHz(channel.Frequency()); + Frontend.inversion = fe_spectral_inversion_t(channel.Inversion()); + Frontend.u.vsb.modulation = fe_modulation_t(channel.Modulation()); + + tuneTimeout = DVBC_TUNE_TIMEOUT; + lockTimeout = DVBC_LOCK_TIMEOUT; + } + break; + case FE_OFDM: { // DVB-T // Frequency and OFDM paramaters: @@ -753,6 +766,7 @@ int type = Source & cSource::st_Mask; return type == cSource::stNone || type == cSource::stCable && frontendType == FE_QAM + || type == cSource::stCable && frontendType == FE_ATSC || type == cSource::stSat && frontendType == FE_QPSK || type == cSource::stTerr && frontendType == FE_OFDM; } ************************************************** End ATSC patch ***************************** Convert QAM azap to vdr channels.conf #!/bin/bash cat $1 | awk -F: '{ print $1":"$2":M256:C:0:"$4":0;"$5":0:0:"$6":0:0:"$6 }' ************************************************************** End ***************************** Convert ATSC azap to vdr channels.conf #!/bin/bash cat $1 | awk -F: '{ print $1":"$2":M8:C:0:"$4":0;"$5":0:0:"$6":0:0:"$6 }' ************************************************************** End

Parsing a pes packet
by Christian Gmeiner 16 Aug '06

16 Aug '06

Hi all. I want to parse a pes packet, which a vdr-device gets via its cDevice method (int cDevice::PlayVideo(const uchar* data, int length). I have looked at this page: http://dvd.sourceforge.net/dvdinfo/pes-hdr.html and i can parse pes, dts and other stuff. But i need some more informations like horizontal size and vertical size, which can be found in a sequence header (http://dvd.sourceforge.net/dvdinfo/mpeghdrs.html#seq). Can somebody help me with this task? I must say, that i dont know where to find the sequence header in the pes packet. Thanks, Christian

xineliboutput: "No usable fronteds"
by Jens Auer 15 Aug '06

15 Aug '06

Hi all, I'm new to vdr and am now trying to set up my first system. I don't have a ff-card and decided to use a NVidia graphics card to connect my system to the TV (I considered using a DXR3, but I want to play DIVX movies as well, for which my computer is too slow). So, i am trying to install the xineliboutput-plugin. I downloaded, compiled and installed the 0.99rc5 version from the homepage, all with no errors. When I try to start vdr as mentioned in the README, the program immediately stops without any message. In var/log/messages, I found the following error message: sudo vdr -P"xineliboutput --local=sxfe --video=xv --noremote" Jul 19 20:50:11 arrakis vdr: [9667] VDR version 1.4.1 started Jul 19 20:50:11 arrakis vdr: [9667] Bigpatch 18.06.2006 is active!

Blank screen when switching channels on same transponder with Dpid
by Tomas Berglund 14 Aug '06

14 Aug '06

Hi all. Please help me with my problem. When switching channel between two channels on same transponder with both Apid1 and Dpid1 set the screen goes blank and the sound stops.. I can switch between a channel with only Apid and a channel with Dpid without problems. I have only two channels with dolby and they are on the same transponder so I can't test with another channel. My channel.conf: SVT1;Com Hem:290000:C0M64:C:6875:4102:4358=sve;4614=sve:7942:500,B00:1097:40999:45:0 SVT2;Com Hem:290000:C0M64:C:6875:4103:4359=sve;4615=sve:7943:500,B00:1098:40999:45:0 TV4Plus;Com Hem:378000:C0M64:C:6875:4130:4386=sve:7970:500,B00:1074:40999:36:0 TV4;Com Hem:290000:C0M64:C:6875:4147:4403=sve:7987:500,B00:1012:40999:45:0 I start vdr with SVT1, ok switch to SVT2, ok and back to SVT1, blank screen and no sound (EPG ok) switch to TV4, ok switch to TV4Plus, ok back to SVT1, ok switch to SVT2, ok switch to SVT1, blank screen and no sound If I set "update channels=no" in setup and Dpid1=0 on SVT1+SVT2 everything works... UseDolbyDigital=yes/no has no effect. My stuff: Nexus-CA DVB-C, 3.5" CI, Conax CAM (tested with Viaccess also) VDR 1.4.1-2 no plugins Newest dvb-driver (many tested) 1.34 firmware (app 80f22623) How do I debug this...?
