There is a small problem with the image_convert.sh script. If an image exists but it is not yet in cache, VDR will throw up a threading error while the image is converted. Perhaps we can use an "echo ... |at now" for the conversion so vdr is not held up while the processing is taking place?
I don't understand what you mean.
The conversion is already done asynchronous.
Anyway, a log would be helpfull...
Here is an example of the error in the syslog:
Feb 20 10:28:06 sid vdr[7544]: mp3: player thread started (pid=7544) Feb 20 10:28:08 sid vdr[4248]: error reading '/dev/input/event2' Feb 20 10:28:11 sid vdr[7545]: ERROR: thread 81926 won't end (waited 3 seconds) - canceling it... Feb 20 10:28:22 sid vdr[7544]: mp3: player thread ended (pid=7544)
How to reproduce:
Put an image file in a directory with a matching mp3 file. This error occurs the first time the image is converted to a mpg file. Once the cache file exists, the error does not happen any more.
I would also like to add that everything *appears* to work correctly from a users standpoint. The only problem is the error in the syslog (but VDR does not actually shutdown).
