Problem with signal strenght and audio with Nexus-CA
by Venho Jani 02 Sep '05

02 Sep '05

Hello, I am newbie with vdr and got couple of problems when trying it out: System is: Kernel 2.6.13 VDR 1.3.31 (tried also 1.3.27 and .30) Firmware 261f And DVB card is Hauppauge Nexus-CA Location Espoo, Finland (HTV Network) 1) picture is cutting out from time to time. I installed femon plugin and it shows signal strength 0% (between 006e-0070). SNR is between 10-12% This explains bad picture. Booted to Windows on same computer and it shows 67% STR and 100% quality and no picture problems. 2) Audio problem. Can't get any sound out from DVB card, neither from SPIF or audio out. If I record program with VDR recording has audio in it. So main question is has anyone got VDR working with this DVB card? -Jani

RE: [vdr] multiple soundtracks
by Kent Nielsen 02 Sep '05

Hi, I have a problem with some D+ channels, that the second audio pid disappears after autopid. Usually if I want to see/record a movie with original track (not Spanish) I have to turn off autopid - although I'd like to keep it on for other channels. So, a feature to "lock" pids for a specific channel would be awesome. Or even better, why VDR doesn't find (actually loses) some pid's that are available.

However the "autopid" will kill that again. Perhaps the possibility to lock a specific channel something for future versions?

vdr stopping and not restarting
by tony 31 Aug '05

31 Aug '05

I am running vdr 1.3.26, during the night it is changing state to SetPlayMode: 0 and the only way to bring it back up is to kill vdr, unload the skystar2 module and restart. I am using a modified runvdr and starting as so: sudo ./runvdr '-P"xine -r" -P"femon"' runvdr: # $Id: runvdr 1.14 2004/11/21 11:30:00 kls Exp $ export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.1 export LANG=fr_FR DVBDIR="/lib/modules/2.6.11.10-epia/kernel/drivers/media/dvb/b2c2" VDRPRG="./vdr" VDRCMD="$VDRPRG -w 60 $*" LSMOD="`/sbin/lsmod | grep -w 'skystar2' | wc -l`" KILL="/usr/bin/killall -q -TERM" # Load driver if it hasn't been loaded already: if [ $LSMOD -eq 0 ] ; then (cd $DVBDIR; /sbin/modprobe skystar2) fi while (true) do su $VDRUSR -c "$VDRCMD" if test $? -eq 0 -o $? -eq 2; then exit; fi date echo "restarting VDR" $KILL $VDRPRG sleep 10 (cd $DVBDIR; /sbin/modprobe -r skystar2; /sbin/modprobe skystar2) date done I am not a super shell scripter and I know the problem is in here somewhere.

REQ: Darren Salt - LiveBuffer Patch
by Michal Dobrzynski 31 Aug '05

31 Aug '05

Hi Darren, I've been happily using your VDR Debian packages for a long time and I really appreciate the effort you have put into them. Is there any chance you would consider adding the LiveBuffer-Patch 0.1.0 when you release VDR 1.3.31 packages? It sounds like it adds a feature which many have been wanting a long time and I'd really love to have it as part of your package. Regards, Michal Dobrzynski

two card system is not working
by I.Seeberg 31 Aug '05

31 Aug '05

Hello, a few days ago I posted already but since then I worked some things out. So I'd like to start a new thread. I upgraded my vdr system with another Skystar 2 (Rev. 2.3) DVB-S card. Using the kernel drivers from kernel 2.6.12.5 with upgraded DVB-patch.2.6.12 from Linuxtv.org (to match last recent dvb-kernel version). VDR is not working as expected. Without recordings everything is fine. But if a recording (due to a timer event or manual) starts vdr gets very slow and the recording isn't starting. Well, it starts and in the same second it stopps, and that happends continuously every 6 seconds. I would expect VDR to get me an error. Instead the SkyStar driver (b2c2-flexcop-pci) is flooding my dmesg log with "i2c: master xfer failed" messages. Without loading the skystar card driver and using the single DVB setup everything works just fine again because the full featured Nexus 2.1 (primary) works well. Output of 'cat /proc/interrupts' is: 10: 0 XT-PIC Technisat/B2C2 FlexCop II/IIb/III Digital TV PCI Driver 11: 31472 XT-PIC saa7146 (0), eth0 And 2 devices were found by vdr. There are no counted interrups on irq 10 for the SkyStar2 it seems that the card / interrupt is sleeping since start of the vdr program (and I know about the "Einschlafproblem" but this occurs not just by starting the vdr or driver, right?). Using the command ./szap -n 002 -a 1 -f 0 leads like starting a recording on the device into floading the dmesg logs. szap output: reading channels from file '/root/.szap/channels.conf' zapping to 2 'Das Erste;ARD': sat 0, frequency = 11837 MHz H, symbolrate 27500000, vpid = 0x0065, apid = 0x0066 using '/dev/dvb/adapter1/frontend0' and '/dev/dvb/adapter1/demux0' status 01 | signal 0000 | snr 9b85 | ber 00000000 | unc 00000000 | status 01 | signal 0000 | snr b097 | ber 00000000 | unc 00000000 | status 01 | signal 0000 | snr cfdf | ber 00000000 | unc 00000000 | status 01 | signal 0000 | snr c829 | ber 00000000 | unc 00000000 | (...) Instead using the ff device: zapping to 2 'Das Erste;ARD': sat 0, frequency = 11837 MHz H, symbolrate 27500000, vpid = 0x0065, apid = 0x0066 using '/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0' and '/dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0' status 01 | signal 8ea8 | snr 9840 | ber 0000ff0a | unc 00000000 | status 1f | signal ad1e | snr ce49 | ber 00003300 | unc 00000000 | FE_HAS_LOCK status 1f | signal ac85 | snr ce10 | ber 00000000 | unc 00000000 | FE_HAS_LOCK If there's somebody having an idea it would be welcome because I'm running low on ideas what to do next. Who else uses the SkyStar 2 Rev 2.3 and has no problems? Might be, that it's an overheating problem - but my pc case is open and there's a fan just in front of the pci cards. Greetings, Ingo VDR Logs:

> - Removed the TUNER_LOCK_TIMEOUT in cDevice::AttachReceiver() > since it caused more > trouble than it fixed. I am not sure if this was a wise decision. For the first time since months I had the following problem: - watch live channel on DVB-T card - start watching a recording - after an hour stop replaying; vdr switches back to the last seen DVB-T channel - switch to a DVB-C channel - and got a black picture. I was not able to watch anything from DVB-C until a restart of vdr. I can`t see any errors in the log!
