Anyone patched the Radio plugin for latest vdr?
by Laz 04 May '05

04 May '05

Hi, My brother was just asking whether it was possible to show an image for radio channels and that led me to the radio plugin. Unfortunately, this hasn't been updated for a while and uses the old "2 APID" interfaces rather than the arrays. Has anyone patched this already or shall I have a go at it?! Cheers, Laz

VDR tuning to wrong channel
by Markku Tavasti 03 May '05

03 May '05

This mornig I found strange behaviour: VDR claimed to show & record Channel 4, but program was from Ch 1. And recording from yesterday was also similar way. I tested bit more, and found out that if I first tune to Ch 3, which is on same transponder as 4, I can get Ch4 working. But if I have tuned to Ch1 or Ch2, after it change to Ch4 shows picture of Ch1, but claims to be on Ch4. Ch1: YLE TV1;YLE:578000:I0C12D0M64B8T8G16Y0:T:27500:512+128:650=fin:2321:0:17:8438:4097:0 Ch4: Nelonen;Ruutunelonen Oy:490000:I0C12D0M64B8T8G16Y1:T:27500:512:650=fin:576:0:65:8438:8193:0 Channels have same pids, and apparently vdr commands tuning to another transponder, but it's not done, and vdr gets legal pid values from wrong transponder. My setups is: Technisat Airstar2 Nova-T TEchnotrend DVB-S 1.3 as output. My DVB-T signals is weak, but looks clean with Airstart (No bit errors). Tuning from 4 to 1 works perfectly, no confusion there. Apparently I could avoid problem saying '1+2 with card 1, 3+4 (possibly all other channels on same transponder) with card 0' or something similar. Is there some way to do it? -- M.

It usually happened with subtitles plugin, which tuned into a wrong device/channel, and there was no subtitles in the recording. I reported it into the mailing list long time ago but got no answer. If you looked at the syslog you could see 2 adjacent channel switches, first of which to the correct channel, the second to the "wrong" (as far as the subtitles plugin was concerned). I thought this was fixed (or cured away) also a long time ago, but if it is still there I'd debug the device-receiver logic, i.e. what happens if 2 threads does a simulaneous GetDevice() -> Addreceiver(): - GetDevice (thread 1 / frequency a) - GetDevice (thread 2 / frequency b) - AddReceiver (thread 1) - AddReceiver (thread 2) If both GetDevice() think the same device is free, I guess it could happen (if there is no double checks after the receiver has been added, that the frequency has not changed). But, if you are using an old VDR (<1.3 or <1.3.6 or <1.3.12 (I can't remember when the symptom disappeared)) you might first upgrade to a newer one to see if it helps. Teemu

Dual Card causing recording problems (Dr Who)
by Adrian P Challinor 02 May '05

02 May '05

I have just started having problems recording from Terrestrial TV. I have two cards (TT-Full Featured card and Nova Budget card). I have been using VDR successfully for well over a year now and all has been well. Recently I started having errors "vdr[9978]: ERROR: skipped 152 bytes to sync on TS packet on device 2". The result is a totally unwatchable video stream. I didn't think I had done too much to the config recently. I know I added a few drivers but that was to get the VDR to DVD conversions working. I reloaded LIRC. But nothing I would call fundamental. I just started having these errors. I think I have solved it by removing the Nova budget card. Now, of course, I can only record one channel at a time (unless they are on the same Transponder, not all are from Crystal Palace), but at least I can record. The question is "Why?" and "Why now?". The second question is: Does anyone have a decent recording of Dr Who from 30-Apr-2005, the one with the Daleks? Adrian P Challinor

[Master-Timer]: Feature-Requests anyone?
by Matthias Schniedermeyer 30 Apr '05

30 Apr '05

Hi Currently i'm planning a rather large (mostly under the hood) redesign of Master-Timer. So i'm even more than normaly interested in any suggestions regarding Master-Timer. Bis denn -- Real Programmers consider "what you see is what you get" to be just as bad a concept in Text Editors as it is in women. No, the Real Programmer wants a "you asked for it, you got it" text editor -- complicated, cryptic, powerful, unforgiving, dangerous.

DXR3 jams the whole system
by Sami Hakkarainen 30 Apr '05

30 Apr '05

Hi, for the past few months I've been trying to find a stable VDR+DXR3 setup. So far the most stable set of software has been the vdr-dxr3-0-2 CVS-branch, big thanks to the developers for that. However, there is still one major problem: every now and then, quite randomly, the picture freezes and the whole system jams. SSH connection doesn't work, but the puter seems to answer to ping. I'm not alone with this problem, I know of atleast two other persons having the same problem. Those people have quite different hardware, so it's most likely not a hardware issue. VDR 1.3.12 and the pre1 DXR3-drivers don't seem to have this problem, but lots of other issues. If you have any suggestions, need more details, anything, this is a desperate man writing, please reply.

[PATCH] dxr3plugin fix for AMD64 cpuid segv
by Jon Burgess 30 Apr '05

30 Apr '05

The current vdr-dxr3-0-2 branch of dxr3plugin segv's when run on an AMD64 system due to a problem with the cpuid code. The patch attached syncs the code with a recent ffmpeg/libavcodec/i386/cputest.c and it works for me. I have not had the chance to test it on a regular 32 bit x86 system. Jon

Volume control with analogtv and pvr350
by Hans Matzen 30 Apr '05

30 Apr '05

hello, I have the following problem controlling the volume with my vdr-1.3.11, analogtv 0.9.33 and pvr350.0.0.3 (pvr350 is the only card my system). if I press the volume keys on my remote the osd displays the bar and shows the change adding or removing those cute vertical bars :-) but the volume does not change. well, I thought it might be not implemented and did a quick hack to the pvr350 plugin implenting the SetVolumeDevice method. the result is that I can now control volume while watching TV, but nothing still happends (only the OSD) while watching a recording even though the SetVolumeDevice method of the pvr350 plugin is called. I guess pvr350 is only a output device for tv, not for a player (?) and that might be the explanation (TV Input=4, player Input=5). any ideas how this can be improved ? thanks hans

[PATCH] dxr3plugin fix to prevent segv for some corrupt streams
by Jon Burgess 29 Apr '05

29 Apr '05

I tracked down a small problem in the dxr3pesframes code which was causing a segv to occur while trying to play some corrupted streams. dxr3pesframe.c contains the following loop which is used to find the start of the first pes header: for (; pos + 9 < length && !IsPesHeader(pesArray.SubArray(pos, 4)); pos++); With corrupted streams loop may reach the end of the buffer without finding a valid header and the subsequent code tries to decode the bogus header data often causing a segv. The patch detects this condition and causes the bad data to be dropped. Jon
