ANNOUNCE: graphlcd-0.1.3
by Andreas Regel 17 Jan '06

17 Jan '06

Hi, here is a new release of the GraphLCD base package and plugin for VDR. You can download the packages from the berlios project's file page: http://developer.berlios.de/project/showfiles.php?group_id=3566 Changes since 0.1.2: graphlcd-base: - Added a major.minor.micro version to the libraries starting with 1.0.0 - Moved usage of DESTDIR from serveral Makefiles to Make.config (thanks to Lucian Muresan). - Moved Freetype2 dependency from Make.config to Makefile of libglcdgraphics (thanks to Tobias Grimm). - Creating an additional symlink for the library files to be found during making the tools that need them (thanks to Tobias Grimm). - Updated serdisplib driver (thanks to Wolfgang Astleitner). - KS0108 driver: Added an alternative way of setting the display control lines (same as in old versions). It is selectable through graphlcd configfile parameter "Control". - Using default values for width and height in case they are zero, too (thanks to Tobias Grimm). - Added cSerialPort class. - Added driver for my AVR controlled display. vdr-graphlcd: - Don't replace newlines with spaces in text items any longer. - Rewritten cGraphLCDDisplay::WrapText(). It is much faster now. - Increased time to wait for display task to start (thanks to Andreas Brachold). - Explicitly set the current channel to prevent a crash if no channel logo was set (thanks to Andreas Brachold). - Added support for VDR version 1.3.38 and up (thanks to Andreas Brachold). - Added logos for cable and terrestrial channels and modified some of the old (thanks to Stefan Hußfeldt).

[ANNOUNCE] svdrp shutdown patch 0.1
by Matthias Schwarzott 16 Jan '06

16 Jan '06

Hallo! This is the first release of my "svdrp shutdown patch". It adds the new svdrp-command "DOWN". This command triggers an automatic shutdown like the one when reaching minuserinactivity. An optional given number is the additional time in minutes after which this shutdown should start by showing "press any key to abort shutdown" for 5min. It is mainly thought to replace svdrpsend.pl hitk power inside some scripts by svdrpsend.pl down to give the user 5minutes to abort shutdown instead of some seconds. Our primary use is inside the shutdown-script in the abort-case (for example there are user logged in) to trigger a shutdown-retry in 5 or 10 minutes.

OT: how do I use SUSE's debuginfo packages for debugging
by Reinhard Nissl 16 Jan '06

16 Jan '06

Hi, while developing vdr-xine, it seems that there is a deadlock situation in libasound. How can I make use of the alsa-debuginfo package? At the moment I run xine and when the deadlock happens, I start ddd and attach to that process. xine is at that time stuck in opening the audio device. The issue may be dmix related. Bye. -- Dipl.-Inform. (FH) Reinhard Nissl mailto:rnissl@gmx.de

vdr-1.3.39 segfaults when inserting external epg data
by Malte Schröder 16 Jan '06

16 Jan '06

Hello, I use infosatepg + tvmovie2vdr to get epg-data some stations. This has been working with vdr-1.3.38, but vdr-1.3.39 segfaults when tvmovie2vdr starts sending the epg-data to vdr.

vdr-kbd eats cpu
by Andre Bischof 15 Jan '06

15 Jan '06

Hello, from one day to another my vdr (1.3.31) stopped working. It seems to be running fine as nothing appears in the logfiles (started with -l 3 6), but I have no video/sound and top shows a vdr-kbd eating cpu. I don't know how to track this, maybe I could try something with strace (how?)? Or could I check DVB-functions on hardware level? In the meantime between running and running I installed some debs, but as far as I know nothing which should interfere with vdr. Any suggestions what I could do? Output from logfile and top follows: Jan 14 12:24:10 linux vdr[13336]: VDR version 1.3.31 started Jan 14 12:24:10 linux vdr[13336]: loading plugin: /usr/lib/vdr/plugins/libvdr-dxr3.so.1.3.31 Jan 14 12:24:10 linux vdr[13336]: loading /var/lib/vdr/setup.conf Jan 14 12:24:10 linux vdr[13336]: loading /var/lib/vdr/sources.conf Jan 14 12:24:10 linux vdr[13336]: loading /var/lib/vdr/diseqc.conf Jan 14 12:24:10 linux vdr[13336]: loading /var/lib/vdr/channels.conf Jan 14 12:24:10 linux vdr[13336]: loading /var/lib/vdr/timers.conf Jan 14 12:24:10 linux vdr[13336]: loading /var/lib/vdr/commands.conf Jan 14 12:24:10 linux vdr[13336]: loading /var/lib/vdr/reccmds.conf Jan 14 12:24:10 linux vdr[13336]: loading /var/lib/vdr/svdrphosts.conf Jan 14 12:24:10 linux vdr[13336]: loading /var/lib/vdr/ca.conf Jan 14 12:24:10 linux vdr[13336]: loading /var/lib/vdr/remote.conf Jan 14 12:24:10 linux vdr[13336]: loading /var/lib/vdr/keymacros.conf Jan 14 12:24:10 linux vdr[13336]: reading EPG data from /var/cache/vdr/epg.data Jan 14 12:24:10 linux vdr[13336]: probing /dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0 Jan 14 12:24:11 linux vdr[13336]: found 1 video device 2Jan 14 12:24:11 linux vdr[13336]: initializing plugin: dxr3 (0.2.4): Hardware MPEG decoder Jan 14 12:24:11 linux vdr[13339]: tuner on device 1 thread started (pid=13339, tid=16386) Jan 14 12:24:11 linux vdr[13340]: Section handler thread started (pid=13340, tid=32771) Jan 14 12:24:12 linux vdr[13336]: dxr3: configure: video mode: PAL Jan 14 12:24:12 linux vdr[13336]: dxr3: intf: brightness=500,contrast=500,saturation=500 at init Jan 14 12:24:12 linux vdr[13341]: DXR3 audio output thread started (pid=13341, tid=49156) Jan 14 12:24:12 linux vdr[13342]: DXR3 video output thread started (pid=13342, tid=65541) Jan 14 12:24:12 linux vdr[13336]: setting primary device to 2 Jan 14 12:24:12 linux vdr[13336]: SVDRP listening on port 2001 Jan 14 12:24:12 linux vdr[13336]: loading /var/lib/vdr/themes/classic-default.theme Jan 14 12:24:12 linux vdr[13336]: starting plugin: dxr3 Jan 14 12:24:12 linux vdr[13336]: loading /var/lib/vdr/themes/classic-default.theme Jan 14 12:24:12 linux vdr[13336]: ERROR: /dev/lircd: No such file or directory Jan 14 12:24:12 linux vdr[13336]: ERROR: remote control LIRC not ready!

[Announce] vdr-epgsearch-0.9.10
by Christian Wieninger 15 Jan '06

15 Jan '06

Hi, here's a small update: 2006-01-15: Version 0.9.10 new: - update of all schedule and search result menus after creating/changing a timer, as introduced in vdr-1.3.38 - button 'Record' now labeled with 'Record' or 'Timer' depending on existing timer for the event, as introduced in vdr-1.3.38 - epgsearch's own timer edit menu now displays the recording device number for a currently recording timer - new setup option: 'Add episode to manual timers' affects adding the subtitle to the timer file in manual timer programming. The setting 'smart' skips the subtitle if the event has more that 80 min. - search edit menu for search timers changed for future extensions: 'Action' now selects the job to do for the search results, currently 'record' (default) or 'announce only' - thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg for finnish translation update fixes: - in vdr-1.3.38 some translations were broken - updated the timercmds-patches to work with vdr-1.3.38 Description and download: http://people.freenet.de/cwieninger/html/vdr-epg-search__english_.html wget: http://people.freenet.de/cwieninger/vdr-epgsearch-0.9.10.tgz BR, Christian

[ANNOUNCE] VDR developer version 1.3.39
by Klaus Schmidinger 15 Jan '06

15 Jan '06

VDR developer version 1.3.39 is now available at ftp://ftp.cadsoft.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-1.3.39.tar.bz2 A 'diff' against the previous version is available at ftp://ftp.cadsoft.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-1.3.38-39.diff The changes since version 1.3.38: - The SVDRP command LSTT now accepts the new option 'id' to have the channels of the timers listed with their unique channel ids instead of their numbers (suggested by Matthias Schniedermeyer). - Added a missing #include <linux/unistd.h> to thread.c (thanks to Ville Skyttä). - Fixed the "plugins-clean" and "plugins-install" targets in the Makefile (thanks to Andreas Brachold). - Fixed handling "more than 3 byte" key sequences in cKbdRemote::ReadKeySequence() (thanks to Peter Bieringer). If you are using the PC keyboard as remote control input you may need to make VDR newly learn the keys by removing the remote.conf file. - To avoid problems with access rights when VDR shall run as 'root' it now skips all SetCaps() and SetUser() calls when it is started as 'root' and "-u root" is given. - Added missing i18n entry for the "Timer" button (thanks to Ville Skyttä) - Updated the Finnish OSD texts (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - Making the "Menu" key behave consistently has not been well received by several users, so the new option "Setup/OSD/Menu button closes" can be used to get the old behavior back (which also is the default value of this option). - Dropped the default vdr user. The program now always runs under the user id it was started from, unless the '-u' option is given and it was started from the 'root' user. If you want to have a default vdr user, you can activate and adjust the "VDR_USER = vdr" line in your Make.config file (from the original patch by Ludwig Nussel). - Key macros can now be defined for all non-modeless keys (suggested by Mirko Dölle). - Adjusted the "KEY MACROS" section of vdr.5 to the new plugin calling mechanism introduced in version 1.3.32. - Removed the now obsolete "ca.conf" section from vdr.1 (thanks to Ville Skyttä). - Added missing description of L and R circular polarization to 'diseqc.conf'. - Added a note about "modprobe capability" to INSTALL (suggested by Patrick Cernko). - Fixed canonicalizing the file name in the SVDRP command GRAB to allow full path names (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt). - Added a missing '-' to the example for viewing a grabbed image on a remote host (reported by Philippe Gramoullé). - Made the "What's on now/next?" menus a lot faster by storing a pointer to each channel's schedule in the cChannel data. - Made the log messages regarding lost lock of devices "info" instead of "error" (suggested by Andreas Brachold). - The SVDRP command GRAB allows file names without extension again (suggested by Stefan Huelswitt). - Pressing '0' in the "Schedule" menu now rotates through displaying "This event on this channel", "This event on all channels" and "All events on all channels". This can be used to find reruns of a given show, or the episodes of a series. Note that if there are many channels in your channels.conf, displaying the "All events on all channels" page may take a while. - The status markers in the "Schedule" menu are now only updated if a submenu is closed in which a timer has been modified, which speeds up closing submenus. - Now only writing Dolby Digital tracks into the 'info.vdr' file of a recording if Setup.UseDolbyDigital is true (suggested by André Weidemann). - Added a leading '0' to the day in the DayDateTime() function (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - No longer displaying color buttons in the recording info menu if it has been invoked from a player (reported by Jürgen Schilling). Have fun! Klaus
