softdevice with xv-plugin does not start

Hello, I'm trying to get softdevice working. Compilation went well (vdr-1-3-31), but starting vdr-daemon --config=/var/lib/vdr --lib=/usr/lib/vdr/plugins -d -l 3 -p 2001 --video=/video -w 60 -u vdr -g vdr -P remote -P "softdevice -L /usr/lib/vdr/plugins -vo xv:" gives me: Nov 12 21:03:50 linux vdr[10465]: probing /dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0 Nov 12 21:03:51 linux vdr[10465]: found 1 video device Nov 12 21:03:51 linux vdr[10465]: initializing plugin: remote (0.3.3): Remote control Nov 12 21:03:51 linux vdr[10465]: initializing plugin: softdevice (0.2.0): A software emulated MPEG2 device Nov 12 21:03:51 linux vdr[10465]: tuner on device 1 thread started (pid=10465, tid=-1220461648) Nov 12 21:03:51 linux vdr[10465]: Section handler thread started (pid=10465, tid=-1228850256) Nov 12 21:03:51 linux vdr[10465]: [XvVideoOut]: patch version (2005-07-20) Nov 12 21:03:51 linux vdr[10465]: [XvVideoOut]: Could not connect to X-server Nov 12 21:03:51 linux vdr[10465]: [softdevice] videoOut failure exiting I put LoadModule "XvMC" in xorg.conf as mentioned in the plugin's README, and libxvmc1 and libxvmc-dev are installed. I guess it could be that I have to put up an additional screen-section in xorg.conf, but I'm not really familiar with that. Or does that error derive from s.th. totally different? Any help is greatly appreciated! André

vdr-xine, changing priority of the receiver when connected
by syrius.ml＠no-log.org 13 Nov '05

13 Nov '05

Hi, Sorry if it's a trivial question (or a non-sense one), i'm wondering how I could change the priority of the receiver when xine is connected to vdr-xine. (i may not be using the correct vocabulary) In fact i'd like to resolve some priorities issues. I'm running 2 vdr instances, both with vdr-xine; one is accessing the dvb devices and running streamdev-server, the other one just running streamdev-client. I'd like streamdev-server not to take over vdr-xine when xine is connected to vdr. I thought i could do that playing priorities. Could you give a little explanation on how i could do that ? TIA. --

Problem with transfer mode, xine plugin and ActualDevice
by Luca Olivetti 13 Nov '05

13 Nov '05

Well, I don't know where the problem actually lies (I guess the xine plugin), but: I'm using vdr with a dxr3 and the xine-newtork plugin (0.7.4, I know I should update it, but I couldn't spot anything related to this problem in HISTORY for 0.7.5 and 0.7.6). Normally the dxr3 is the primary device but when the xine plugin is in use it will switch itself as the primary. The problem is that right after the switch a new transfer thread starts *before* the previous one ends, so receiverDevice is left pointing to NULL, so that ActualDevice fails to report the correct device, until the next channel switch.

vdr 1.3.27 restart problem
by Matthias Bodenbinder 13 Nov '05

13 Nov '05

Hi, vdr is running fine on my machine except for one strange thing. I can start/stop vdr perfectly fine, but when I select "Neustart" in the vdr menu (restart), it is coming into an endless loop of restarting itself. The logfile then says: ov 12 16:31:56 localhost vdr[16858]: loading /var/lib/vdr/remote.conf Nov 12 16:31:56 localhost vdr[16858]: loading /var/lib/vdr/keymacros.conf Nov 12 16:31:56 localhost input.agent[16860]: evdev: already loaded Nov 12 16:31:56 localhost vdr[16858]: no DVB device found When I say /etc/init.d/vdr restart everything works fine. What is going wrong here? System details are: Ubuntu 5.10 kernel 2.6.12-9-k7 vdr 1.3.27 Hauppauge Nexus-s Rev 2.3 Thanks for your help, Matthias

[patch] network vdr-xine-0.7.6, use -i to select the ip to bind to
by syrius.ml＠no-log.org 12 Nov '05

12 Nov '05

Hi, I did it for me, maybe it could be of some use for someone else. With the genuine vdr-xine plugin -i could be used to choose the instance number and one can have several vdr+vdr-xine running on the same box. Here with the networked vdr-xine, it could be used to select the ip to bind to. What are the differences ? If -i is not used, the networked vdr-xine bind to all local interfaces (as before) If you want to run 2 vdr+vdr-xine on the same machine, it has to have 2 ip addresses, the first vdr has to be ran with -P 'xine -i IP1.IP1.IP1.IP' and the second one with -P 'xine -i IP2.IP2.IP2.IP' it's a quick hack, I hope i've been clear enough and that it may be of some use. --

Odd behiviour of dish
by Lauri Tischler 12 Nov '05

12 Nov '05

After changing to vdr-1.3.36 and rotor-0.1.2 my dish behives strangely. The dish thinks that it's 'rest' position is allways at S1.0W If I select some channel at S19.2E, the dish moves there and things work normally. If I then select some DVB-T channel, the dish moves back to position S1.0W. EPG scantime is set at 0. Any ideas ? -- lwgt(a)iki.fi * Using HTML-mail is like breaking wind in a church * 60.2N 24.7E * it is not illegal, just extremely bad manners *

[ANNOUNCE] vdr-softdevice-0.2.1
by Stefan Lucke 12 Nov '05

12 Nov '05

Hello, softdevice team (Torgeir Veimo, Martin Wache and me, Stefan Lucke) with help from softdevice users, is pleased to announce a new release of vdr softdevice plugin. General info: Softdevice plugin enables vdr to run on your desktop with so called budget cards. You'll get vdr output via framebuffer or X11-Xv or DirectFB or vidix to your screen. Decoding is done via ffmpeg. Plugin's homepage is located at: http://softdevice.berlios.de/ Changelog since last release: 2005-11-12: softdevice-0.2.1 - speed up moving of cutmarks by a factor of about 100. I forgot to signal that new data is available in StillPicture() :-/ - new packet mode: make some softdevice functions available to other plugins like softplay useing the new service interface 2005-11-06: - video-xv: some of X11 atoms could be set via OSD too. So using hardcoded hotkeys for brightness, contrast, hue and saturation is obsolete and may be removed soon. - video-dfb: (by Laurence Abbott) selecting field parity and triple buffering on via epia boards. That could be used for others too if primary head is connected to TV. Triple buffering is independently available as a separate option now. "-vo dfb:viatv" "-vo dfb:triple" 2005-11-04: - some more finnish translations (by Rolf Ahrenberg) - sync timer mode selectable via OSD - removed translations of empty lines (by Rolf Ahrenberg) - made sig timer the default one for new users 2005-11-02: - restructured OSD setup 2005-11-01: - some some german translations (with help from Andre Neumann) - hide main menu entry via OSD 2005-10-29: - french translations (by Nicolas Huillard) - packet playback: assume we get complete frames via packet interface. This fixes playing divx via softplay. - fix frame dropping with IEEE1394 read. 2005-10-26: - fix cropmode handling via OSD - set some vars for aspect calculation to reasonable defaults 2005-10-25: - video-xv: fix aspectratio recalculation upon ConfigureNotify events - minor cleanup: moved static floats to member double (cVideoOut) 2005-10-14: - reverted change from 2005-01-12 as effect it not reproducable and delivers now wrong results for some streams. -- Stefan Lucke
