Bug report (vdr 1.3.27 + patches + plugins)
by Pasi Juppo 15 Jul '05

15 Jul '05

Hi, Here are few bugs that I have found so far from vdr 1.3.27 with patches: -vdr-1.3.27-enAIO-2.4.diff -vdr-1.3.27-subtitles-0.3.7-and-ttxtsubs-0.0.5.diff -vdr-1.3.27-finnish.diff and plugins (and patches when needed): -vdr-femon-0.9.0 -vdr-mp3-0.9.12 -vdr-osdteletext-0.5 + vdr-osdteletext-0.5-finnish.diff patch -vdr-subtitles-0.3.7 -vdr-text2skin-1.1 (cvs) -vdr-ttxtsubs-0.0.5 + vdr-ttxtsubs-0.0.5-premium-edition.diff patch -vdr-tvonscreen-0.7.0 + vdr-tvonscreen-0.7.0-1.3.diff patch -vdr-timeline-0.9.0 + vdr-1.3.25-timeline-0.9.0.diff patch -vdr-sysinfo-0.0.4a DVB drivers are from kernel 2.6.12.1. DVB-C card is Technotrend's FF card (v1.5 iirc). NTPL is disabled (export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.1). Bugs: #1 VDR: Delayed live TV broadcast showing Steps to how to reveal this: 1. Replay a recording 2. Stop replaying (shows live TV broadcast almost immediately) 3. Resume replay (press play) 4. Stop replaying 5. Resume replaying 6. Stop replaying => live TV shows after around 8s #2 VDR+ttxtsubs: Subtitles are shown from TV channel when replaying recording 1. Create a timer for a channel with teletext subs 2. Replay recording (while playing timer needs to start recording) => subtitles are shown from the recorded TV movie while watching a recording without subtitles (at least teletext subs) Cure: stop replaying and resume replay #3 VDR+mplayer: No sound 1. View encrypted channel 2. Play video with MPlayer 3. Stop playing => No sound from live TV broadcast (may not happen always) Cure: change channel back and forth #4 VDR: Green button does not work without menu -When watching TV broadcast it is not possible to view or change the audio channels without going first to menu This is propably caused by the subtitles and ttxtsubs patch for VDR. However, this patch is needed to get subtitles work i.e. VDR needs to be fixed. #5 VDR+femon: AC3 sound info flickers on and off 1. View channel with AC3 sound (e.g. Canal+ Film2) 2. Start femon and view AC3 sound info => AC3 information is shown only very brief moment before turning to black. Info is most of the time off. However, the sound seems to be OK and does not switch between AC3 and stereo (surround) according to the receiver. => Info bar of the femon also behaves similarly - showing DD 5.1 info only briefly #6 DVB driver + VDR: Data stream broken => Emergency exit -Timeshifting or booting computer up to the channel where data stream has gotten broken => Emergency exit without possibility to change the channel to working one. VDR also does not start automatically when using runvdr script. Solution: if this happens then VDR should change the channel to something else (e.g. start from the first channel on the list and move forward until working one is found). Alternatively better solution would be not to mind about data stream broken problem and show static image (error image) and allow user to change the channel. #7 Subtitles: Subtitle behaviour when pausing record playing 1. Replay a recording with subtitles 2. While subtitles are shown press pause => Subtitles vanish from the screen after a while (the time how long they were supposed to be shown). Solution: subtitles should stay forever when in pause mode i.e. time counting for subtitles should freeze the same way as time freezes for the recording. #8 Subtitles: REW and FF 1. Replay a recording with subtitles 2. Fast forward or reverse replay => subtitles are not shown properly according to the time position where the record playing is at. Only few times subtitles are shown (time matches) but the time they are shown is not counted faster like should when rewersing of fast forwarding (subtitles stay very long compared to actual happening on recording) #9 VDR: Audio sync 1. Replay a recording -if there are problems with the data stream the audio gets out of sync and stays out of sync Cure: during replay jump by 1 min to forward and backwards and audio gets synced. Solution: monitor audio sync during replay and correct when needed #10 VDR: Replay stops and TV channel changes -occasionally at the beginning of the replaying of a recording VDR stops replaying and changes to first channel of the channel list (despite what channels was being viewed before replaying) VDR seems to work OK otherwise. #11 VDR: Frozen broadcast -recording a movie from encrypted channel => the video froze but sound was coming through properly as well as teletext subs. This has happened only once so far (no errors at log). #12 VDR: Replay stops with blank screen 1. Viewing encrypted channel 2. Started replaying a recording => after few seconds replaying stops and nothing is shown at the screen (no sound either) Cure: change of channel back and forth cured the blank screen (replay also worked fine till the end of movie). Couple of suggestions for future VDR packages: #1 Split runvdr to two files: one for kernel series 2.4 and one for 2.6. Current runvdr needs to be modified before it is usable in 2.6. #2 Separate config file or additions to Make.config for things that are configurable (e.g. MAXOSDMEMORY). Modifying of source code is not good practice. Otherwise VDR with patches and plugins (and their patches) is working well. It's more stable than 1.3.22 was. There are also less broken data streams (could be cause of DVB driver update also) with the recordings. Big thanks for all you developers out there - keep up the good work! Br, Pasi

vdr-xine FF & RW stall
by Simon Baxter 15 Jul '05

15 Jul '05

Hi. When I use FF (fast forward 1-3x) when playing a recording, VDR stalls. Sometimes, after several minutes, it will recover. Most of the time I'm just left with a frozen frame. The 60-second skip forward or back works fine. Any ideas how to diagnose this problem?

Featurerequest mplayer-plugin
by Carsten Presser 14 Jul '05

14 Jul '05

hi, I read the 'mplayer.sh an AID 0' thread, about possible changes in slave-mode handling (about dropping dvd-menu support). So I am wondering if it's possible to include (instead of this dvd-stuff) commands to adjust audio- and subtitle-delay. See: http://www.mplayerhq.hu/DOCS/tech/slave.txt usefull (at least for me) commands would be: * sub_delay <value> [<abs>] * sub_select [<value>] * sub_pos <value> * audio_delay <value> * sub_visibility perhaps you could use the this mapping 1: sub_delay -100 2: sub_visibility 3: sub_delay +100 4: sub_pos -1 5: sub_select 6: sub_pos +1 7: audio_delay -100 8: switch_audio 9: audio_delay +100 btw: the documentation says: 'switch_audio [<value>] (MPEG and Matroska only)'. is this outdated since mplayer can now handle switching audio streams in avi-files? Thanks in advance, Carsten

WSS data in vdr-xine
by mike lewis 14 Jul '05

14 Jul '05

>From a message posted on softdevice's mailing list.. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Vadim Catana <vcatana(a)registru.md> Date: Jul 11, 2005 2:09 PM Subject: [Softdevice-devel] [PATCH] To: softdevice-devel(a)berlios.de Hi, This patch makes the following modifications to softdevice plugin from CVS: 1. Some channels display white dots at the top and bottom of the screen due to WSS data encoded in the picture. This problem has been mentioned on vdr, linux-dvb and dxr3 mailinglists a few times. I added two new items in the softdevice menu that allow to cut off a number of lines from top and bottom of the picture. It is implemented now only for -vo vidix and dfb with i420/YV12 format and hardware alpha blending. ... ------------- I always wondered what this was on my DVB streams. Is there something similar in vdr-xine? Mick

need help for analogtv plugin
by Halim Sahin 14 Jul '05

14 Jul '05

Hi, Since yesterday I am trying the analogtvplugin with my wintv pci fm. The card works fine with other tv software and snd-bt87x module is loaded. I can play the sound with sox using /dev/dsp2. But when I set this dsp in setup.conf I get no sound. In the docs I found that I should run analogtv plugin with alsa. My Problem is I can't find the syntax for the setup.conf. In the docs there is a line like analogtv.PCMdevice = alsa/default What does this mean? The default card is in my case not the tv card. How can I set this correctly? I tried the oss driveers too but the recurding faild (nosound). Please help. greetings Halim
