INVITATION: help debugging cAudioRepacker
by Reinhard Nissl 06 Sep '05

06 Sep '05

Hi, as some people seem to get messages like the following several seconds (> 60) after switching to a certain channel (or after a recording has switched a device) Sep 2 11:12:49 video vdr[14940]: cAudioRepacker: skipped 911 bytes to sync on next audio frame Sep 2 11:12:49 video vdr[14940]: cAudioRepacker: skipped 785 bytes to sync on next audio frame Sep 2 11:12:50 video vdr[14940]: cAudioRepacker: skipped 221 bytes to sync on next audio frame it may be likely that there is a bug in cAudioRepacker. Therefore I've added some debug output to possibly identify a bug. The attached patch is against vanilla VDR-1.3.31 and contains all my previously released patches since VDR-1.3.31 plus the new debug messages. As I experience such messages only rarely it takes quite some time to wait for the next log message and there are only about 30 hours left before VDR-1.3.32 is likely to be released. So I really invite you to help debugging this issue. Please send any such messages to the list or maybe to me privately. But be aware: I'm not interested in the messages that happen immediately after tuning the device! Especially VDR-1.3.31 reports sometimes a lot of them, as waiting for the tuner getting locked was removed. There is nothing special about these messages. To make it clear once more: just send such messages that happen for example 60 seconds after the last tuning activity (log message: "switching to channel X" or "switching device X to channel Y"). The sent log messages should also include the lines which allow to identy the thread that drives cAudioRepacker. Typically these log messages (like "transfer thread started" or "recording thread started") follow the switching messages. NPTL users: please turn off NPTL for this test (by defining an environment variable: export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.1) as it is not possible to indentify the reporting thread otherwise. Bye. -- Dipl.-Inform. (FH) Reinhard Nissl mailto:rnissl@gmx.de

Solution for a rotor
by Norm Dressler 06 Sep '05

06 Sep '05

I have a rotor on the way for my dish so I took a look at the rotor plugin. I noticed the screenshots didn't have commands like up or down for the azimuth -- are they in this plugin or should I be looking to another solution? Also, what's used to scan the transponder? Do you have to know what sat you are looking at and then enter the transponder freq for it to scan it properly? Thanks for any info -- Norm

Xine Network
by Norm Dressler 06 Sep '05

06 Sep '05

Having problems with Xine Network... I have vdr running with xine network and on the local machine can get video/audio when I connect xine via 127.0.0.1. When I try and connect from a remote machine, however, I get "xiTK received SIGSEGV signal, RIP". I see on the VDR console the machine connect and then disconnect with " ::write(33611) returned -1, error 104: Connection reset by peer vdr-xine: Client connect failed!" Any suggestions what might be wrong? Norm

How to dertermine when a recording has ended?
by Christian Wieninger 06 Sep '05

06 Sep '05

Hi, I'd like to check, when a recording has ended. As plugin.html tells, this can be done with cStatus: virtual void Recording(const cDevice *Device, const char *Name) {} // The given DVB device has started recording Name. Name is the name of the // recording, without any directory path. // If Name is NULL, the recording has ended. What if two or more recordings are done on the same device? How can I check, which one of them has ended? BR, Christian

RE: [vdr] [ANNOUNCE] vdr-softdevice-0.1.3

> 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. Is this soon HDTV capable? There are commercial MPEG2 HDTV channels available, and last time I checked vdr-softdevice was unable to decode those. It decoded the stream (1920x1080) but displayed on screen something like 720x576 window of the original stream. This might have changed but I haven't checked recent soft devices because release notes doesn't mention anything about fixing it. Best regards, Jori
