Hi,
just checked new vdr version with softdevice, and get some problem even when setting -u root.
softdevice cvs and vdr-1.3.36: Jan 8 15:14:07 jarada vdr[5745]: [softdevice-audio] Opening alsa device default Jan 8 15:14:07 jarada vdr[5745]: [softdevice-audio] Using alsa AC3 device hw:0,1 Jan 8 15:14:07 jarada vdr[5745]: [softdevice-audio] real UID = 0 effective UID = 0 Jan 8 15:14:07 jarada vdr[5745]: [softdevice-audio] Device opened! Ready to play
softdevice cvs and vdr-1.3.38: Jan 8 15:17:22 jarada vdr[5777]: [softdevice-audio] Opening alsa device default Jan 8 15:17:22 jarada vdr[5777]: [softdevice-audio] Using alsa AC3 device hw:0,1 Jan 8 15:17:22 jarada vdr[5777]: [softdevice-audio] real UID = 0 effective UID = 0 Jan 8 15:17:22 jarada vdr[5777]: [softdevice-audio] Playback open error: default, Keine Berechtigung FATAL exiting Jan 8 15:17:22 jarada vdr[5779]: video directory scanner thread ended (pid=5779, tid=5779) Jan 8 15:17:22 jarada vdr[5780]: video directory scanner thread ended (pid=5780, tid=5780)
vdr 1.3.38 is called with -u root.
softdevice code is (from audio.c): { uid_t ruid = getuid(); uid_t euid = geteuid(); dsyslog("[softdevice-audio] real UID = %d effective UID = %d",ruid,euid); } if ((err = snd_pcm_open(&handle, device, SND_PCM_STREAM_PLAYBACK, 0)) < 0) { esyslog("[softdevice-audio] Playback open error: %s, %s FATAL exiting", device, snd_strerror(err)); exit(1); }
Are there other UIDs relevant ?
