Twinhan VisionPlus DVB with CI: CAM doesn't support link layer interface
by Stefan Hußfeldt 30 Nov '05

30 Nov '05

Hello, i've a Twinhan VisionPlus DVB with CI and AlphaCrypt light (linux-2.6.14, vdr-1.3.37). When i start vdr, syslogs says: |Nov 30 10:19:53 localhost kernel: dst_put_ci: Put Command |Nov 30 10:19:53 localhost kernel: ca_get_slot_caps: -->dst_put_ci SUCCESS ! |Nov 30 10:19:53 localhost kernel: ca_get_slot_caps: Slot cap = [5] |Nov 30 10:19:53 localhost kernel: =================================== |Nov 30 10:19:53 localhost kernel: 18 64 0 0 2 11 0 5 |Nov 30 10:19:53 localhost kernel: dst_ca_ioctl: -->CA_GET_CAP Success ! |Nov 30 10:19:53 localhost vdr[4107]: CAM doesn't support link layer interface |Nov 30 10:19:53 localhost kernel: dst_ca_release: Device closed. Is it a driver or a vdr problem and can it be solved? The CAM works fine in a FuSi DVB-C card. -- Und Tschüss. Stefan ### Kilroy was here ### 4855 10:40:00 up 19 days

Remote/keyboard seen during configuration, but not during normal use
by Benji Mouse 30 Nov '05

30 Nov '05

Hi folks. I recently lost the hard disk in my year-old VDR system and have had to rebuild from almost scratch. Everything is working except for the remote/keyboard. I've gone over things time and time again, but don't see anywhere that I've made a mistake. I've done quite a bit of searching (web and mailing list) and haven't found anything really helpful. I'm hoping someone here can point me in the right direction. Like I said in the subject, VDR will see the remote and keyboard long enough to create the remote.conf file, but when configuration is complete and VDR switches to normal 'show video' mode, both the remote and keyboard are ignored. Note that evtest output is normal, and that with IR debugging enabled, the remote keypresses show up in the log as expected. Installation details (note- I've tried to rebuild the system the same as it was prior to the crash): * Vanilla installation of Debian Sarge, 2.6.8 kernel recompiled from Debian-provided sources using the kernel config from the original (working) system. * In-kernel (non-CVS) DVB driver * Full featured Nexus card with the grey remote * VDR 1.3.20 compiled from source * Remote plugin version 0.3.3 * Loading hauppauge_grey.rc5 via av7110_loadkeys after inserting dvb-ttpci, prior to running VDR * Running VDR from the command line (not as a daemon) via ssh and screen. I don't see anything out of place in the syslog: Nov 29 22:13:31 localhost vdr[3539]: VDR version 1.3.20 started Nov 29 22:13:31 localhost vdr[3539]: loading plugin: ./PLUGINS/lib/libvdr- remote.so.1.3.20 Nov 29 22:13:31 localhost vdr[3539]: loading /vdr_video/setup.conf Nov 29 22:13:31 localhost vdr[3539]: loading /vdr_video/sources.conf Nov 29 22:13:31 localhost vdr[3539]: loading /vdr_video/diseqc.conf Nov 29 22:13:31 localhost vdr[3539]: loading /vdr_video/channels.conf Nov 29 22:13:31 localhost vdr[3539]: loading /vdr_video/ca.conf Nov 29 22:13:31 localhost vdr[3539]: loading /vdr_video/remote.conf Nov 29 22:13:31 localhost vdr[3539]: probing /dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0 Nov 29 22:13:31 localhost vdr[3542]: tuner on device 1 thread started (pid=3542, tid=16386) Nov 29 22:13:31 localhost vdr[3543]: Section handler thread started (pid=3543, tid=32771) Nov 29 22:13:31 localhost vdr[3539]: probing /dev/dvb/adapter1/frontend0 Nov 29 22:13:31 localhost vdr[3539]: found 1 video device Nov 29 22:13:31 localhost vdr[3539]: initializing plugin: remote (0.3.3): Remote control Nov 29 22:13:31 localhost vdr[3539]: setting primary device to 1 Nov 29 22:13:31 localhost vdr[3539]: SVDRP listening on port 2001 Nov 29 22:13:31 localhost vdr[3539]: loading /vdr_video/themes/classic- default.theme Nov 29 22:13:31 localhost vdr[3539]: starting plugin: remote Nov 29 22:13:31 localhost vdr[3539]: device /dev/input/event0: DVB on-card IR receiver Nov 29 22:13:31 localhost vdr[3539]: remote: using '/dev/input/event0' Nov 29 22:13:31 localhost vdr[3539]: remote-event0: autorepeat supported Nov 29 22:13:31 localhost vdr[3539]: remote-event0: exclusive access granted Nov 29 22:13:31 localhost vdr[3539]: loading /vdr_video/themes/classic- default.theme Nov 29 22:13:31 localhost vdr[3545]: KBD remote control thread started (pid=3545, tid=65541) Nov 29 22:13:31 localhost vdr[3539]: remote control remote-event0 - keys known Nov 29 22:13:31 localhost vdr[3539]: remote control KBD - keys known Nov 29 22:13:31 localhost vdr[3539]: switching to channel 177 Nov 29 22:13:31 localhost vdr[3539]: setting audio track to 1 Here are some keypresses from the log - Nov 29 22:28:08 localhost kernel: #########000007e5######### addr 31 data 0x25 (keycode 38) Nov 29 22:28:08 localhost kernel: #########00000fe0######### addr 31 data 0x20 (keycode 33) Nov 29 22:28:09 localhost kernel: #########000007e1######### addr 31 data 0x21 (keycode 34) Nov 29 22:28:09 localhost kernel: #########00000fd1######### addr 31 data 0x11 (keycode 18) Nov 29 22:28:10 localhost kernel: #########000007d0######### addr 31 data 0x10 (keycode 17) And the related entries from remote.conf remote-event0._Setup /proc/av7110_ir 00000000 31 remote-event0.Ok 0000000100010026 remote-event0.Up 0000000100010021 remote-event0.Down 0000000100010022 remote-event0.Left 0000000100010012 remote-event0.Right 0000000100010011 I'm really running into a wall here.

xine plugin showing wrong osd color
by Eric GRAMMATICO 30 Nov '05

30 Nov '05

Hi all, I have compiled xine plugin 0.7.6 against vdr 1.3.34. I am very pleased with it, using xxmc xine extension, and with geforce fx 5200, vdr doesnt get over 4% of cpu usage. Of course, I have an issue, not to serious, but annoying... OSD isnt displayed with the right colors... blue is red, red is blue, green is yellow, yellow is light blue.... If I play with my remote, after a while, then colors are suddenly correct. Any idea ? Thanks and regards, Eric.

Maybe this mail is missing the patched part in transfer.c? Or am I > missing something? :-) > no, there is nothing wrong. Try it, it works. Channel switching to an AC3-channel becomes much faster. I found this in vdrportal: http://www.vdrportal.de/board/thread.php?threadid=34456&sid= But it is important to edit not only transfer.c, but also dvbosd.c !

Fix: no second APID or Dolby DIgital in live view with VDR 1.3.37
by Klaus Schmidinger 30 Nov '05

30 Nov '05

The changes to CA handling in VDR 1.3.37 have broken the second APID and live Dolby Digital on encrypted channels. Here's a quick workaround for the problem: --- dvbdevice.c 2005/11/26 13:23:11 1.138 +++ dvbdevice.c 2005/11/29 17:08:35 @@ -825,6 +825,11 @@ esyslog("ERROR: failed to set PIDs for channel %d on device %d", Channel->Number(), CardIndex() + 1); return false; } + //XXX workaround for addition live audio PIDs: + if (ciHandler) { + ciHandler->SetPid(Channel->Apid(1), true); + ciHandler->SetPid(Channel->Dpid(0), true); + } if (IsPrimaryDevice()) AddPid(Channel->Tpid(), ptTeletext); CHECK(ioctl(fd_audio, AUDIO_SET_MUTE, true)); // actually one would expect 'false' here, but according to Marco Schlüßler <marco(a)lordzodiac.de> this works Klaus

xine plugin sync problems on analog channels
by Cristiano 29 Nov '05

29 Nov '05

Hi all, I am having some problem with vdr xine and analogtv plugin. I have a client-server vdr installation based on vdr 1.3.34, xine 0.7.6 plugin, when I select a DVB channel I have no problems but if I select an analog channel (stream generated by analogtv plugin 0.9.37 with ivtv 0.4.0 and PVR 150 card) I had some sync problem: here is the xine log: audio jump, diff=-51840 audio_out: inserting 27627 0-frames to fill a gap of 51815 pts video jump bad_frame video jump video jump bad_frame video_out: throwing away image with pts 653020 because it's too old (diff : 6489 9). 200 frames delivered, 14 frames skipped, 1 frames discarded video_out: throwing away image with pts 2753839 because it's too old (diff : 418 6). bad_frame bad_frame video jump bad_frame bad_frame audio jump, diff=-51850 audio_out: inserting 27655 0-frames to fill a gap of 51866 pts video jump bad_frame video jump bad_frame bad_frame 200 frames delivered, 7 frames skipped, 1 frames discarded video_out: throwing away image with pts 5052089 because it's too old (diff : 4544). 200 frames delivered, 0 frames skipped, 1 frames discarded bad_frame audio jump, diff=-45370 audio_out: inserting 24197 0-frames to fill a gap of 45382 pts video jump video jump video jump bad_frame video_out: throwing away image with pts 6157260 because it's too old (diff : 54139). Searching on the vdr mailing list I found a thread ("problem vdr-xine-0.7.3 plugin") that seems to be related to this issue. I tried to "play" with WRAP_THRESHOLD values without good results Did you have any suggestion? Thanks in advance for your help Cristiano

by Holger Brunn 29 Nov '05

29 Nov '05

Hello list, I'm glad to announce a new version of the filebrowser plugin, you can get it from http://www.stud.uni-karlsruhe.de/~uqg8/vdr/filebrowser/vdr-filebrowser-0.0.… There are a few bug fixes, some usability enhancements and new features, just take a look at the changelog: - Add a flag to execute commands synchronously (s) and/or without opening a menu (b) - Possibility to remove commands by precending them with a minus sign in order.conf - Add a cCommand that shows a menu with other commands - Add sources.conf and a possibility to switch sources - Possiblity to determine whether a command matches via script - when file pattern starts with '!', try to call the remainer, replace %f, %! and %% - Always use single quotes for quoting filenames (don't forget to remove your quotes in commands.conf!) - Update threads' stati in thread list asynchrously - Fixed a bug that prevented patterns with full paths (eg. /mnt/*) For people not knowing what's this all about, a readme file is provided on http://www.stud.uni-karlsruhe.de/~uqg8/vdr/filebrowser Your comments, bug reports and patches would be appreciated, regards Holger

[ANNOUNCE] epgsearch-0.9.8b
by Christian Wieninger 29 Nov '05

29 Nov '05

Hi, there's a new release of the epgsearch plugin. A very big thanks to Mike Constabel for many hours of testing! http://people.freenet.de/cwieninger/html/vdr-epg-search__english_.html wget: http://people.freenet.de/cwieninger/vdr-epgsearch-0.9.8b.tgz <http://people.freenet.de/cwieninger/vdr-epgsearch-0.0.8.tgz> 2005-11-27: Version 0.9.8 new: ATTENTION: this version converts epgsearch.conf (the file that stores the searches) to a NEW FORMAT. A backup of the old file is stored as epgsearch.conf.bak. If you switch back to an older version you have to move the backup file back to epgsearch.conf. - new feature 'avoid repeats' for search timers, aka 'done' feature (please read the README before using it!). A special thanks to Mike Constabel (vejoun@vdrportal) for many hours of testing and bug reports. * timer preview * recognition of broken recordings * fuzzy event comparision - the menu of search results for a search timer with 'avoid repeats' has an additional mode for key 'blue' to preview the timers, that will be programmed with it. - new setup option to display channels without EPG in 'What's on...', idea from 'Nordlicht's EPG plugin' - new setup option to show channel separators in 'What's on...', idea from 'Nordlicht's EPG plugin' - new feature 'Delete recordings after ... days'. This removes a recording automatically after the given days. It's a nice thing for e.g. news recordings (like Tagesschau), that are only interesting for a few days - the timer summary now contains additional information about the event: event title, subtitle (if present) at the top, the name and ID of the search timer, that triggered the timer, and also the recording channel (after the real summary) at the bottom - the summary of timers that are manually programmed now also contains info about title, subtitle (if present) and the recording channel - 'Execute' in searches menu has been replaced with 'Actions' that list a menu consisting of * Execute search * Use as search timer on/off * Trigger search timer update * Show recordings done You can also use the short keys to trigger the corresponding action without opening this menu - introduced a logfile (default file is plugin-configdir/epgsearch.log, but can be specified with commandline option '-l /path/to/logfile'. Commandline option '-v n' specifies the verbose level of the logfile. n=0 means no logging, allowed values are n=0(default),1(standard),2(extended),3(for debug). - setup has now a default recording directory entry, that is used in manual timer programming. It supports also entries like '%Category%~%Genre%'. The directory gets automatically replaced with the values of the event (but only if all variables were replaced). - depending on the calling menu the event menu (summary) now labels the buttons green/yellow with the previous/next channel or the start of the previous/next event, suggested by Andreas Brugger - the channel number is now also listed in menu 'search results', if the setup option 'show channel numbers' is set, suggested by Gerhard Steiner. - short keys (1,2,...) to EPG commands are now also availabe in the EPG summary menu, suggested by Frank Krömmelbein - if VDR version >= 1.3.31 then setup has now an option to choose between epgsearch's timer edit menu and VDR's built-in menu (useful when using a patched VDR timer edit menu, suggested by Frank Krömmelbein) - if a subtitle is present the menu for manual timer programming now always adds the subtitle to the timer file as default, suggested by Gerhard Steiner - optimized the splitting of the directory and file entry when re-editing a timer in manual programming, thanks to Andreas Brugger - the EPG menus now always display a subtitle in the form 'title ~ subtitle' if present - new service 'Epgsearch-updatesearchtimers-v1.0' to trigger a search timer update - if a search timer update is triggered from the actions menu then an osd message is displayed when it has finished (also when using the service 'Epgsearch-updatesearchtimers-v1.0' optional) - the menu of search timers now displays the number of (active) searchtimers in its title - now checking if manual timer programming has failed and display an osd message in that case (needs vdr >= 1.3.30 to work) - thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg for updating the finnish translation - thanks to Mike Constabel for corrections in READMEs and MANUAL fixes: - epgsearch now exits to main menu when not called directly via a short key, thanks to Andreas Brugger - fixed editing menu search term in english translation - fixed sorting search timer list after editing a search timer, thanks to Mike Constabel - fixed menu navigation with respect to empty schedules, thanks to Darren Salt for his patch - fixed misaligned search entries in searches menu, thanks to Andreas Brugger Greets, Christian
