Makefile variable names LCLBLD and PLGCFG
by Ville Skyttä 20 Mar '13

20 Mar '13

Hello, Should probably have spoken earlier, but is there any particular reason for the ugly and hard to read Makefile variable names LCLBLD and PLGCFG? I suppose they're short for LOCALBUILD and PLUGINCONFIG, but why do they have to be short for anything, it's not like we're running out of space for their names anywhere, is it? Besides, I don't think LCLBLD describes what its effects are very well, INPLACE would sounds better to me. The ship may already have sailed for plgcfg in vdr.pc as it's being used by many plugin Makefiles already, but I believe the attached patches should be safe for 2.0.0.

[PATCH] minor vdr.5 formatting fix
by Dominic Evans 18 Mar '13

18 Mar '13

The formatting of the sample channels.conf entry for RTL Television gets badly paragraph wrapped in vdr.5. Simple fix to prevent line wrapping happening is to put it into a table. Patch attached. This also fixes a lintian warning about this line in debian build logs.

recording hook
by Marx 18 Mar '13

18 Mar '13

I would like to make after recording hook which create symlink for 00001.ts file. Name of this symlink should be made of title (T in info file). I will take care of duplicates etc, but now I would like to know if it's possible to easily read title. For now I have a script which simply parse info file, but maybe there is simpler way? Maybe VDR sets some environment variables or something? Marx

VDR 1.7 FreeBSD segfault when cutting recordings
by Gerhard Brauer 18 Mar '13

18 Mar '13

Hello, i'm new on this list and my English is not the best... I'm using VDR 1.7 headless on a FreeBSD machine. Interaction with this vdr server is done via vdr-sfxe from the xineliboutput plugin. I never have any problem during other actions with the remote VDR (recording, viewing, place cutting marks,...) _exept_ when i start the cutting procedere itself with the keyboard shortcut "2". Most times (> 95%) the remote vdr segfaults immidiatly. The file structure is still created (%foobar ff.). In the few times when it not segfaults then the cutting is done well without problems. I have contacted the FreeBSD maintainer of the vdr port and he advised to do a gdb backtrace on the generated coredump file. After seeing the backtrace he has no solution and told me to post better here on the list. I attach the gdb backtrace output with this mail (i hope the mailinglist allow attached file). Maybe you have a solution and/or an idea how to solve this. Of course i could do further tests or debugging, the segfault is well to reproduce here ;-) Sometimes (but not so often and reproducable), when the cutting process/thread is not segfaulting, i got also an dying vdr process with signal 10 (bus error). That's when i use "backspace" to close the well cutted recording, normally it would go back to the current TV channel. Don't know if this is in some relation with the segfault/signal 11 I often have. This rare error i also got only during the cutting procedere, i could never reproduce it during watching TV or recordings. Some infos on hardware and software versions of the (vdr) server: --------------------- FreeBSD 9.0-RELEASE-p3 amd64 CPU: AMD E-450 APU with Radeon(tm) HD Graphics (1699.36-MHz K8-class CPU) FreeBSD/SMP: Multiprocessor System Detected: 2 CPUs FreeBSD/SMP: 1 package(s) x 2 core(s) real memory = 8589934592 (8192 MB) avail memory = 7809277952 (7447 MB) Filesystem ZFS vdr-1.7.29_2 vdr-plugin-xineliboutput-1.0.90s20120511_6 ----------------------- Log output when the vdr dies with signal 11 (this is not from the attached backtrace): Mar 15 10:44:00 s01 vdr: [50363392] setting audio track to 1 (0) Mar 15 10:44:00 s01 vdr: [50364416] TS buffer on device 1 thread ended (pid=8844, tid=50364416) Mar 15 10:44:00 s01 vdr: [50365440] buffer stats: 34404 (1%) used Mar 15 10:44:00 s01 vdr: [50365440] receiver on device 1 thread ended (pid=8844, tid=50365440) Mar 15 10:44:17 s01 vdr: [50361344] playing '/video/Die_Marx_Brothers_im_Kaufhaus/2012-10-29.01.48.50.99.rec/002.vdr' Mar 15 10:44:19 s01 vdr: [50363392] SetBrokenLink: no GOP header found in video packet Mar 15 10:44:31 s01 vdr: [50361344] loading /video/Die_Marx_Brothers_im_Kaufhaus/2012-10-29.01.48.50.99.rec//marks.vdr Mar 15 10:44:31 s01 vdr: [50361344] creating directory /video/%Die_Marx_Brothers_im_Kaufhaus/2012-10-29.01.58.50.99.rec Mar 15 10:44:31 s01 vdr: [50361344] removing /video/%Die_Marx_Brothers_im_Kaufhaus/2012-10-29.01.58.50.99.del/index.vdr Mar 15 10:44:31 s01 vdr: [50361344] removing /video/%Die_Marx_Brothers_im_Kaufhaus/2012-10-29.01.58.50.99.del/001.vdr Mar 15 10:44:31 s01 vdr: [50361344] removing /video/%Die_Marx_Brothers_im_Kaufhaus/2012-10-29.01.58.50.99.del/info.vdr Mar 15 10:44:31 s01 vdr: [50361344] removing /video/%Die_Marx_Brothers_im_Kaufhaus/2012-10-29.01.58.50.99.del Mar 15 10:44:31 s01 vdr: [50361344] loading /video/Die_Marx_Brothers_im_Kaufhaus/2012-10-29.01.48.50.99.rec//marks.vdr Mar 15 10:44:31 s01 vdr: [50361344] playing '/video/Die_Marx_Brothers_im_Kaufhaus/2012-10-29.01.48.50.99.rec/001.vdr' Mar 15 10:44:31 s01 vdr: [50361344] recording to '/video/%Die_Marx_Brothers_im_Kaufhaus/2012-10-29.01.58.50.99.rec/001.vdr' Mar 15 10:44:31 s01 vdr: [58882048] video cutting thread started (pid=8844, tid=58882048) Mar 15 10:44:32 s01 kernel: pid 8844 (vdr), uid 938: exited on signal 11 (core dumped) ------------------------- >From my low experience (I'm not a C developer) i think it could be a thread timing problem, maybe FreeBSD special and in relation with the ZFS filesystem.

[ANNOUNCE] VDR developer version 1.7.41
by Klaus Schmidinger 16 Mar '13

16 Mar '13

VDR developer version 1.7.41 is now available at ftp://ftp.tvdr.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-1.7.41.tar.bz2 A 'diff' against the previous version is available at ftp://ftp.tvdr.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-1.7.40-1.7.41.diff MD5 checksums: c7928bff45fa1c0e6dadf2c0a5adf94b vdr-1.7.41.tar.bz2 d20f62005288f54bb4596e1e091419ac vdr-1.7.40-1.7.41.diff WARNING: ======== This is a *developer* version. Even though *I* use it in my productive environment, I strongly recommend that you only use it under controlled conditions and for testing and debugging. Approaching version 2.0.0: ========================== If there are no more serious bug reports, the final version 2.0.0 of VDR shall be released on March 31, 2013. So please test this developer version intensely and report any problems you might encounter as soon as possible. The following language files still have the given number of untranslated texts: da_DK.po: 134 el_GR.po: 197 hr_HR.po: 134 lt_LT.po: 1 nn_NO.po: 262 pt_PT.po: 28 sl_SI.po: 1 sr_SR.po: 80 tr_TR.po: 134 If nobody takes care of these, they will remain untranslated in version 2.0.0. The changes since version 1.7.40: - Updated the Hungarian OSD texts (thanks to István Füley). - Updated the Russian OSD texts (thanks to Oleg Roitburd). - Updated the Polish OSD texts (thanks to Marek Nazarko). - Fixed using PATH_MAX and NAME_MAX (+/-1 because the first one includes the terminating 0, while the latter doesn't). - The 'plugins' target of the VDR Makefile now also copies files matching the wildcard "lib$$i-*.so" (previously only "libvdr-*.so") and also descends into subdirectories of the plugin source. - The parameters PATH and NAME to the --dirnames command line option may now be left empty to use the default values if only ENC shall be set (thanks to Helmut Auer for some improvements to this change). - Fixed a possible "Channel not available" if a recording starts on a system with bonded devices (thanks to Siegfried Bosch). - Fixed stopping an ongoing recording on a system with bonded devices, if a timer with a higher priority requires a different band. - Updated the introductory text of the vdr.1 man page. - Added a note to the INSTALL file regarding multiple disk setup becoming deprecated in a future version of VDR. - When switching to a less privileged user id, VDR now sets the environment variables HOME, USER, LOGNAME and SHELL accordingly (thanks to Manuel Reimer). - Updated the help and man page entry about the location of the epg.data file (thanks to Ville Skyttä). - Fixed creating a new VPS timer with the SVDRP command NEWT (thanks to Johann Friedrichs). Have fun! Klaus
