Is sxfe freezing a known issue? Any fix?
It freezes eventually with every software combination i have used (very infrequently at best).
I used softdevice for years and honestly do not think freezing was a problem.
Workaround is to kill frontend with remote and irexec. I run frontend in loop, so it starts again in 2 sec.
I have setup a key on the physical keyboard to do such.
Thanks for pointing out that I can check the return values, that could be useful.
One thing that I notice is that when vdr-sxfe freezes I can no longer do a svdrp GRAB. So, perhaps a cron job can be setup to try a grab, and if that fails restart vdr-sxfe. Or, xineliboutput could implement a PING command. A hack, yes, but it still might be better than frozen video!
/etc/lircrc: begin remote = origen button = Record prog = irexec repeat = 0 config = killall -9 vdr-sxfe end
vdr-sxfe.sh: #!/bin/bash while true; do vdr-sxfe --options.. if test $? -eq 0 -o $? -eq 2; then exit fi /bin/sleep 2 done
