Hi

Has anyone got XBMC working with vdr-1.6.0?

I want to run XBMC, but am not ready to move to a .ts file format yet.

So

...

I was thinking I'd just get XMBC to call a script and run vdr-xine (ie not integrate with streamdev etc). This should be easy yes?

Any pointers or experience?

Thanks Simon

The pvr-testing2 version of xbmc works with 1.6.0 (or did three weeks ago) as long as you have a recent streamdev patched..

However, using irexec would work to change from vdr-sxfe and xbmc too.

Hi

Maybe not a VDR issue? But just maybe?

I can't get recordings to play via the LiveTV front end in pvr-testing. I get the following xbmc messages.

No but I do have it with a patched vdr 1.7.14 + streamdev to support french HD TV (VC1 + eac3)

No not really. I used the code prepackaged from here

Not the pre compiled packages themselves because I needed the eac3 modif in it but as you have the original tar ball, + the debian patches taht create a debian directory and in the debian directory you find a subdirectory patches that is aplied bafore compilation you get the picture (+ as I use debian I just have to apply the patches and use the build system)

But yo can easill get the sources for any linux system and the configure options given.

Honestly I don't know. And that's why using prepackaged set of patches avoid omitting necessary fixes and most of the time going into trouble in general.

BTW: Once configured, xbmc pvr-testing2, works for SD, epg,... but lacks programming feature and fails for me for HDTV. I dunno if my streamdev really works with HDTV or if its the rendering part that is not able to use VDPAU... As vdr record the HDTV streams correctly, I suppose streamdev should only write the TS stream on a socket instead than on the disk.

Приветствую, Simon

please try to use this cumulate patch for streamdev-plugin from cvs

http://cobradevil.org/downloads/streamdev-xbmc.patch

or try to use the patched version of streamdev plugin ftp://elcom.kaluga.ru/pub/downloads/streamdev-2010-02-14.tar.gz

also there's possibility to watch the femon information on xbmc-pvr

have a look on screenshot http://cobradevil.org/downloads/screenshot002.png

Have tried that streamdev, and I'm still getting the same problems. I only get a picture and audio for a few seconds.

Can you send me your settings from VDR setup.conf? Here's mine..

streamdev-server.AllowSuspend = 1 streamdev-server.HTTPBindIP = 127.0.0.1 streamdev-server.HTTPServerPort = 3000 streamdev-server.HTTPStreamType = 1 streamdev-server.IGMPBindIP = 0.0.0.0 streamdev-server.IGMPClientPort = 1234 streamdev-server.IGMPStreamType = 0 streamdev-server.MaxClients = 5 streamdev-server.ServerPort = 2004 streamdev-server.StartHTTPServer = 1 streamdev-server.StartIGMPServer = 0 streamdev-server.StartServer = 1 streamdev-server.SuspendMode = 0 streamdev-server.VTPBindIP = 127.0.0.1

Well, I've tried the patched version above, and it is better. I now seem to be able to switch between live channels in XBMC, but still only get a few seconds of video/audio then the stream freezes.

don't know why you have so strange behaviour

which xbmc-pvr version do you have ?

Can you send me your VDR config for streamdev from setup.conf? (mine below)

ALSO - how do I activate femon in XMBC? I'm running the plugin in VDR, but can't bring up this screen:

- TV settings - to show snr - choice Pm3 skin - tune on channel - the button - info - when we will see the service info, let's press Left button - we will see the femon info

I checked out revision 28472 on 9th March 2010

I tested with old version of xbmc-pvr

please try to test with revision 28276 (it's last stable not broken revision. Currently xbmc developpers don't recommend to use current svn version)

svn update -r28276

Hi

Updated to [XBMC] 28276 and have exactly the same problem. Only 3-5 seconds of video when switching to LiveTV...but recordings now play OK.

??

Have noticed that the video freezes at the same time as I get the following in /var/log/messages:

Pulled the latest cvs, patched with http://cobradevil.org/downloads/streamdev-xbmc.patch still get frozen live video in XBMC and the following:

Any ideas?

Hi

Am running the latest streamdev cvs, patched with http://cobradevil.org/downloads/streamdev-xbmc.patch but am getting frozen live video (recordings are fine) in XBMC and the following:

Mar 30 06:27:35 freddy vdr: [12662] ERROR: 1 ring buffer overflow (188 bytes dropped) Mar 30 06:27:41 freddy vdr: [12662] ERROR: 51 ring buffer overflows (9588 bytes dropped) Mar 30 06:27:47 freddy vdr: [12662] ERROR: 60 ring buffer overflows (11280 bytes dropped) Mar 30 06:27:53 freddy vdr: [12662] ERROR: 60 ring buffer overflows (11280 bytes dropped) Mar 30 06:27:59 freddy vdr: [12662] ERROR: 60 ring buffer overflows (11280 bytes dropped) Mar 30 06:28:05 freddy vdr: [12662] ERROR: 60 ring buffer overflows (11280 bytes dropped) Mar 30 06:28:10 freddy vdr: [12856] streamdev-livestreaming thread ended (pid=12656, tid=12856) Mar 30 06:28:10 freddy vdr: [12855] streamdev-writer thread ended (pid=12656, tid=12855) Mar 30 06:28:10 freddy vdr: [12674] buffer stats: 63920 (1%) used

How do I diagnose?

Can I expand the buffer (even temporarily) to see if this is what's causing the frozen video?

Any other ideas?

I've just tried running vdr-1.7.14 with (s2-liplianin drivers) the same version on streamdev and xbmc, all on the local machine running 2.6.27.30-170.2.82.fc10.x86_64. Have also installed on another machine running 2.6.27.29-170.2.78.fc10.x86_64.

Am still getting the same results, with "ring buffer overflow" messages and frozen picture after 3-5 seconds. Again, playing recordings works fine.

Any ideas?

Приветствую, Simon

may be you will happy with http://trac.xbmc.org/browser/branches/pvr-testing2/xbmc/pvrclients/vdr-vnsi/...

Is this likely to replace the XBMC streamdev interface? I can find very little on the web about this "vnsi" and there's few helps or documentation yet.

First attempt, I'm getting these errors on the VDR console with vnsi: NSI Server started Client with ID 0 connected: 127.0.0.1:34215 Welcome client '' with protocol version '1' ERR Action - processPacket exited with fail ERR Action - processPacket exited with fail ERR Action - processPacket exited with fail ERR Action - processPacket exited with fail ERR Action - processPacket exited with fail ERR Action - processPacket exited with fail ERR read - cxSocket::read: read() error at 0/4 ERR Action - THREAD ENDED-------------------------------- Client with ID 0 seems to be disconnected, removing from client list

I can see recordings on the VDR server, but the above errors occur when I try and watch live-TV.

I'm starting VDR with just -P'vnsiserver'

What does "processPacket exited with fail" mean?

Thanks Scott. Yes please, would like to see how you've implemeted it.

I found a number of threads and have achieved the following:

• added a script (vdr.py) under the My Scripts which calls the xine

frontend. But this flags an error "Errors in system config" or similar, launches xine but closes xbmc at the back end http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?t=42205

• added a phantom button on the main menu, which I'd hoped would launch

vdr-py (lower in the above thread). But this just crashes xmbc

What I want to achieve is a main menu button which launches an external bash script, to launch xine, which keeps xbmc running in the background. I currently have mms running like this and it works really well. I then use the "power" button to kill xine (and turn off lirc), and fall back to mms.

Thanks Simon

This is the script I use. I call irexec as a window manager. I have two buttons, LiveTV which cycles between vdr-sxfe and xbmc and Video which cycles between vdr-sxfe and freevo. I also have a browser configured and huludesktop..
