VDR/text2skin/DeepBlue: dsyslog() eats all my CPU time
by Michael Reinelt 17 May '05

17 May '05

Hi there, I recently installed the text2skin plugin and the DeepBlue skin with VDR-1.3.24. Everything works fine (and look s cool!), but I noticed that from time to time something eats up all my CPU time (I'm on a diskless EPIA-M6000, where CPU cycles are valuably), especially in the "Channels" list. CPU usage goes up to 100% for one or two seconds (I can observe this on my built-in LCD display running lcd4linux), afterwards everything is fine again. The problem is that during this period the remote control is somewhat jerky... Today I found out that it's a syslog message from osd.c "too many different colors used in palette", which arises a several thousand times (I've seen a "last message repeated 119327 times"). While the real reason may be found in the text2skin plugin, I think this syslog message should be somehow suppressed if repeated very often. Any ideas? bye, Michael -- Michael Reinelt <reinelt(a)eunet.at> http://home.pages.at/reinelt GPG-Key 0xDF13BA50 ICQ #288386781

Vdr ignoring lirc (always wanting to set keyboard keys up)
by David Barker 17 May '05

17 May '05

Hi guys I am running debian unstable. I have got lirc working fine because when i type irw and press buttons on the remote it says I am pressing the buttons that I am. Also I have got my dvb card setup fine because I can tune to different stations using tzap. When I run vdr all is well except it keeps trying to setup the keyboard controls. Despite everything I try it never lets me setup remote control buttons instead! I have tried running "vdr-lirc", "vdr --lirc", "runvdr --lirc" etc... every time its the same. Sorry if this is a common question or somthing but I searched a lot and got nowhere! Thanks.

Plugin development cStatus

Hi! Does anybody know how a plugin can recognize if normal vdr replaying ended? The only thing I found was an status event if replaying begins.

Xine and 16:9
by Philip Lawatsch 16 May '05

16 May '05

Hi, I've got a rather unusual setup here: I have got vdr running on my xbox and the xbox is connected to a 16:9 tv. I am using vdr-xine to display the video stream. Now my problem is that xine always outputs in 4:3 pixel aspect ratio, thus if I view a 16:9 movie I have black bars. I still can zoom in on my tv to get a picture without bars but with a loss in qualtiy. So the question is if it is possible to automagically switch xine to output with a 16:9 pixel aspect ratio when such a stream is detected. (meaning no black bars on the "x11" window but of course a horizontally compressed picture). Then I could simply activate the widescreen mode on my tv which would not require zooming but simply displaying the picture with a 16:9 aspect ratio. kind regards Philip

vdr + xine 0.7.4 - now using the budget card.
by syrius.ml＠no-log.org 15 May '05

15 May '05

Hi, I've just upgraded from vdr-1.3.24+vdr-0.7.2 to vdr-1.3.24+vdr-0.7.2. And I've discovered vdr is now using my budget card (card #2) for live tv while it was using the ff one (card #1) before. PrimaryDVB = 3 xine.autoPrimaryDeviceMode = autoPrimaryDeviceOff I don't use the FF output at all, but I'd prefer to have the FF card used for live TV. Is there something I missed ? is there a setting for that ? (iirc, a change concerning the fact vdr prefers budget cards to record has been made in vdr but i'm not sure it's really related) Ideally I'd love that to be configurable on a channel basis. For ex in channels.conf, having the CA field set to '1,2,realCA' would make vdr prefer card #1 for live watching. (or to record) hmm but atm that's not really the point, I would prefer to make vdr+xine use the FF card for live watching. (and the budget to record). Any advice ? TIA --

hard lifetime feature
by Husterer, Thomas RD-CP1 15 May '05

15 May '05

Hi, I use vdr to view the ´tagesschau´ some time delayed every day. This leads to a collection of many recordings of this program but I am only interested in viewing the last one. Therefore I wished that old recordings disappear after some days to retain my overview and to increase my operating comfort. I thought that the parameter ´lifetime´ would be a solution for this problem, but this parameter is only a very soft hint to the vdr to kill some programs if it needs the disk space. To fullfill my requirements I modified vdr in that way that it kills programs after expiry of the given lifetime without any ifs and buts. The only condition is that the given lifetime lies below some limit (like 10 days). I added a new setup parameter ´hard-lifetime-limit´ which lets you control this limit. By default this parameter is zero and the vdr behaves like before. If you increase this value then any lifeteme which lies below this limit is treated as a hard lifetime limit and programs are killed in the described manner. Is anybody interested in this patch? Regards, thus
