mediaportal and mame
by Leo Márquez 02 Aug '05

02 Aug '05

Hi!, I was looking in google for 'mame dvb' because I'm interested in play mame games through VDR and have encountered this project: http://mediaportal.sourceforge.net/ What do you think about this project? About my mame addiction, do you know how can I play mame with my VDR set? I have epia-M (svga out), 1 ff nexus-s card (dvb out). Can I execute mame with VDR commands? Thanks

Re: [vdr] Re: reading epg.data kills vdr-1.3.27

When I remove epg.data or > truncate it to zero, vdr starts just fine. Try this: To make sure that its not a broken entry in the epg.data file, copy and edit the file. Drop roughly the first half of entries(*) and try to start VDR with that file. If that works, copy back the original file and drop the second half and retry. If one of the half files crashes, continue dividing that file, until you're down to the entry that does crash. If the half files dont crash, try if removing different small parts cures the problem or not. (*) You have to keep the file structure valid of course. The file contains channel blocks, and each channel block contains entry blocks. A channel block starts with an uppercase C and ends with a lowercase c. An entry block starts with an uppercase E and ends with a lowercase e. Try dropping blocks starting with C and ending with c first, until you're down on a single block, then drop blocks E...e. Cheers, Udo

[ANNOUNCE] vdr-iaxphone-0.0.1 - a softphone for vdr
by Luca Olivetti 01 Aug '05

01 Aug '05

I'm releasing a simple softphone as a vdr plugin. This plugin is available at http://club.telepolis.com/l.o/vdr/ From the README file: This plugin is a very simple (read: not very featureful and hopefully with an high WAF ;-) softphone using the iax protocol (asterisk server). It uses the iaxclient library (http://iaxclient.sourceforge.net) to handle every details of the call, so the plugin is just an user interface. It needs a free (i.e it isn't used by something else, like a softdevice plugin), full-duplex sound card. Enjoy -- - Yo también quiero una Europa libre de Patentes de Software - - I want a Software Patents Free Europe too!

Im Forum hatte jarny eine nette Idee: > Warum gibts im VDR-Hauptmenü eigentlich keine 'Credits'. Da könnten > sich die Entwickler wenigstens mal namentlich verewigen. Ruhm und > Ehre in tausenden Wohnzimmern weltweit sind besser als nix Ich würde das aber eher ins Setup - Menü stecken. Wenn ich dazu im September einen Patch schreiben würde, hätte der Chancen, im vdr aufgenommen zu werden? char *cPlugin::Credits(void) kann LF enthalten, dann gibt es mehrere Zeilen. Vor die erste wird der Name vom Plugin gesetzt. Anzeige: vdr: Klaus Schmidinger mp3: Stefan Hülswitt weitere, die ich nicht kenne muggle: etc -- Wolfgang

[ANNOUNCE] vdr-iaxphone-0.0.2 - a softphone for vdr
by Luca Olivetti 31 Jul '05

31 Jul '05

I'm releasing a new version of a softphone plugin for vdr (http://www.cadsoft.de/vdr). This plugin is available at http://club.telepolis.com/l.o/vdr/ From the README file: This plugin is a very simple (read: not very featureful and hopefully with an high WAF ;-) softphone using the iax protocol (asterisk server). It uses the iaxclient library (http://iaxclient.sourceforge.net) to handle every details of the call, so the plugin is just an user interface. It needs a free (i.e that isn't used by something else, like a softdevice plugin), full-duplex sound card. CHANGES: - Better (hopefully) parsing of the called number, now it is possible to specify the host, username and password for each entry in the phonebook, so it is also possible to directly call another iax phone - Added ringback tone when the called phone is ringing - Now the phone rings only for incoming calls (duh) - The ring command now uses the script "iaxphone-ring.sh" - It should be possible to send dtmf tones during a call - Yellow and Blue keys to enter '*' and '#' - Added settings for caller id - Show text events on the osd (though they're impossible to localize since they come straight from the iaxclient library) Bye -- - Yo también quiero una Europa libre de Patentes de Software - - I want a Software Patents Free Europe too!

xine-lib patch fails with current cvs

Would this change be OK? The following hunk failed with the current xine-lib.patch so I changed it like this and would like to know if this change is correct: --- xine-lib/src/xine-engine/xine.c.orig 2005-07-31 04:00:10.000000000 -0700 +++ xine-lib/src/xine-engine/xine.c 2005-07-31 04:12:41.000000000 -0700 @@ -536,7 +537,7 @@ */ pthread_mutexattr_init(&attr); pthread_mutexattr_settype(&attr, PTHREAD_MUTEX_RECURSIVE); - pthread_mutex_init (&stream->frontend_lock, &attr); + _x_rmutex_init (&stream->frontend_lock); /* * Clear meta/stream info Note that the current cvs of xine-lib's pthread_mutex_init is using &attr now (instead of NULL).

I'm be back on this in a >week or two... > Hi, first, my apologies for my really late reply. Back to the problem above: I did a backtrace with gdb, and it seems the plugin itself isn't the problem (my setup?), read() blocks infinitely trying to read the mp3-file. I don't know why and I'm asking for your help/comments. Oh, here's the backtrace: (gdb) thread 2 [Switching to thread 2 (Thread -1320977488 (LWP 4039))]#0 0xb7f796a1 in __read_nocancel () from /lib/tls/libpthread.so.0 (gdb) bt #0 0xb7f796a1 in __read_nocancel () from /lib/tls/libpthread.so.0 #1 0xb76cc58c in cStream::Stream (this=0x93610c8, data=@0xb1427618, len=@0xb142761c, rest=0x93611d0 "") at stream.c:271 #2 0xb76d30e6 in cScanID3::DoScan (this=0x9361170) at decoder-mp3.c:39 #3 0xb76d1f6e in cMP3Decoder::Start (this=0x935f7a8) at decoder-mp3.c:159 #4 0xb76cae7d in cMP3Player::Action (this=0x9360580) at player-mp3.c:1798 #5 0x080ef2a2 in cThread::StartThread () #6 0xb7f74b63 in start_thread () from /lib/tls/libpthread.so.0 #7 0xb7e2918a in clone () from /lib/tls/libc.so.6 (gdb) *sigh* Today I tried to set O_NONBLOCK to the open()-calls (the code does a "do{ r = read(...); }while(r!=-1 && r != EINTR);" at stream.c:271 so this works out-of-the-box), then again I tried a select() on the filedescriptor before stream.c:271. None of the mentioned worked. I can comment out the call to doScan() in cMP3Player::Action to avoid scanning id3-tags. This makes the plugin work without id3-tags though (as one might expect...). That's all I can think of for now, if you need more information, please let me know. -- --- Regards, Martin Cap
