Hello,
I use vdr-1.7.9, v4l-dvb from http://linuxtv.org/hg/v4l-dvb and femon 1.7.4
When I start the plugin I don't get any output on my tv and see the following messages in my logfile:
--snip-- Sep 15 08:37:36 video vdr: [17541] ERROR: cOsd::SetAreas returned 6 Sep 15 08:37:36 video vdr: [18523] femon receiver thread started (pid=17541, tid=18523) Sep 15 08:37:36 video vdr: [18524] receiver on device 1 thread started (pid=17541, tid=18524) Sep 15 08:37:36 video vdr: [18525] TS buffer on device 1 thread started (pid=17541, tid=18525) Sep 15 08:37:36 video vdr: [18526] femon osd thread started (pid=17541, tid=18526) Sep 15 08:37:36 video vdr: [18526] ERROR (femonosd.c,504): Function not implemented Sep 15 08:37:36 video vdr: [18526] ERROR (femonosd.c,504): Function not implemented Sep 15 08:37:37 video vdr: [18526] ERROR (femonosd.c,504): Function not implemented Sep 15 08:37:37 video vdr: [18526] ERROR (femonosd.c,504): Function not implemented Sep 15 08:37:38 video vdr: [18526] ERROR (femonosd.c,504): Function not implemented Sep 15 08:37:38 video vdr: [18526] femon osd thread ended (pid=17541, tid=18526) Sep 15 08:37:38 video vdr: [18523] femon receiver thread ended (pid=17541, tid=18523) Sep 15 08:37:38 video vdr: [18525] TS buffer on device 1 thread ended (pid=17541, tid=18525) Sep 15 08:37:38 video vdr: [18524] buffer stats: 114304 (5%) used Sep 15 08:37:38 video vdr: [18524] receiver on device 1 thread ended (pid=17541, tid=18524) --snip--

Your OSD is running out of memory. The only cure is to shrink your current OSD size.

Your DVB driver doesn't provide the FE_READ_UNCORRECTED_BLOCKS ioctl - it shouldn't be fatal.

Hm, wouldn't it be better to display something like 'n/a' in the osd instead of logging an error?

Why not state the real error which is not enough ram on device X for osd? with a hint message like: Require xyz KB, only have 2048KB.

The "osOutOfMemory" error comes from the VDR - not from the plugin. Of course you could log another more detailed error message in plugins, but it would be just redundant information to fill up your syslog. IMO, if you want more detailed error messages, you should modify VDR's cOsd::SetAreas() method rather than plugins.

Would you care to write such a patch for vdr? In a way that Klaus could simply include in future releases. I think it would help a lot for end-users, trying figure out what possible causes are.

I agree. Detailed error messages are the only ones worth printing/logging, especially when it comes to end-users trying to figure out why their box isn't working properly.
Hi,
please re-read my message. I was not referring to the osd size stuff, but to this error message:

femon must not assume that drivers support all ioctls...
