Request: periodic function called from vdr's main task
by Andreas Regel 10 Aug '05

10 Aug '05

Hello, I have a small request for vdr's cStatus class. It would be great if there were a additional method that is called every second or so from vdr's main task. That could be used in plugins that want to query objects from vdr that can only be accessed from the main task, p. e. control object of the current replay. That would be nice for the graphlcd and similar plugins. Andreas

by Dieter Bloms 10 Aug '05

Hi, I've recorded it with vdr-1.3.28 and every 10-15 seconds there is missing some data :( Does anybody have a recording of taken on pro7 (monday 20:15). Please drop me a private mail. Thank you! -- Gruß Dieter -- I do not get viruses because I do not use MS software.

vdr-1.3.28: hangs while recording?
by Udo Richter 09 Aug '05

09 Aug '05

Hi list, After updating to 1.3.28 yesterday, I'm seeing strange VDR hangs today. Same machine, same plugins and patches worked flawlessly on 1.3.27 before. There were recordings running, and I was going through menus that time, when VDR suddenly did not respond to key presses any more. VDR died because of watchdog, but required an additional kill -9 to be stopped and re-started. As another hint, that time VDR was running with >50% CPU load. Next time this happens, I hope I can do some more analysis. Any one else having problems? _____________________________ Incident 1: One recording running on secondary device. 22:18:52 vdr[948]: deleting timer 16 (6 2010-2225 'Filme~Enigma - Das Geheimnis') 22:18:59 vdr[948]: switching to channel 8 22:20:40 vdr[1354]: connect from 192.168.73.1, port 2075 - accepted 22:20:43 vdr[948]: PANIC: watchdog timer expired - exiting! 22:22:36 vdr[1526]: VDR version 1.3.28 started The 'connect' is my attempt to connect via control-plugin, but control-plugin was frozen same as the remote. The recording continued (file time) until 22:22:26. Incident 2: Two recordings running, one on primary, one on secondary. Transfer mode streams another channel from secondary to primary device. 23:12:46 vdr[1526]: switching to channel 173 23:12:51 vdr[1526]: switching to channel 7 23:12:52 vdr[1657]: cDolbyRepacker: skipped 576 bytes to sync on next AC3 frame 23:14:25 vdr[1526]: PANIC: watchdog timer expired - exiting! 23:17:17 vdr[1714]: VDR version 1.3.28 started The recordings continued until 23:17:03 and 23:17:12. Cheers, Udo

vdr-xine : extenal commands not allowed!
by Paul Guermonprez 09 Aug '05

09 Aug '05

hello, - the idea : i try to control a dvb-t card with vdr from another computer. server : desktop with a hauppauge dvb-t card (software decoding) client : laptop with 100 mbit card. both suse 9.3, kernel 2.6.11.4, dvb driver included, firewall disabled during tests. vdr-1.2.6-88 vdr-plugins-0.5-87 kvdr-0.62-5 - driver test : the card is working fine if i launch kaffeine (xine frontend) with direct access to the dvb card driver, without using vdr. - vdr setup : there's no hard decoder on the card, so i've setup vdr to use xine plugin with "-r" option to allow remote control. i don't know if this remote control is related to "svdrphosts.conf", but i have 127.0.0.1 and 0.0.0.0/0 UNcommented in this file ... - running : once vdr is launched (runvdr or rcvdr) with xine plugin, i try to connect from the same computer with : 1. "kvdr -x" : nothing happens. 2. "xineplayer myservername" xineplayer included with vdr-plugins. vdr-xine log says : external connecting external connected external commands not allowed! what have i done wrong ? any ideas ? most info i can find is in german, and i don't speak german at all. i've been trying for a long time now and i'm lost. thanks for your help, paul.

vdr slowness when browsing channels
by Guy Roussin 09 Aug '05

09 Aug '05

Hi, I notice that vdr is slow when i try to quickly browse channels. it eats around 18-20% of the cpu (atlon1200) when i hold left or right key when browsing channels (vdr 1.3.27 vanilla - classic skin) . With text2skin (1.0) and Enigma, it eats around 40-50% of the cpu and browsing channels is very very slow ... Note: cat channels.conf | wc -l --> 2600 lines Thank you.

Updating the list of recordings
by leinionl＠netti.fi 08 Aug '05

08 Aug '05

Hello, list! Since VDR version 1.3.11 (according to HISTORY), the list of recordings is not updated automatically, so the asterisk for "you have already watched this (or at least opened it)" is not updated either. Is there other way to update that information than a cron job touching .update every minute or so? Or should this be considered to be a bug? Running VDR 1.3.27.
