(since SF.net didn't bother to confirm my subscription, no admin approved my post either, and there doesn't seems to much people there, I post back to this more active VDR ML)

...

This is the most annoying bug : after some time tweaking the video output (which works), the video submenu just crashes VDR upon closing (with "back", "menu" or "ok" keys). No matter that I change setting or not : closing will crash.

The current video setup is : xineliboutput.Video.AspectRatio = 0 xineliboutput.Video.AutoCrop = 0 xineliboutput.Video.AutoCrop.AutoDetect = 1 xineliboutput.Video.AutoCrop.DetectSubs = 1 xineliboutput.Video.AutoCrop.FixedSize = 1 xineliboutput.Video.AutoCrop.SoftStart = 1 xineliboutput.Video.Brightness = -1 xineliboutput.Video.Contrast = -1 xineliboutput.Video.Deinterlace = bob xineliboutput.Video.DeinterlaceOptions = method=Linear,cheap_mode=1,pulldown=none,framerate_mode=full,judder_correction=1,use_progressive_frame_flag=1,chroma_filter=0,enabled=1 xineliboutput.Video.Driver = xxmc xineliboutput.Video.FieldOrder = 0 xineliboutput.Video.HUE = -1 xineliboutput.Video.IBPTrickSpeed = 0 xineliboutput.Video.MaxTrickSpeed = 12 xineliboutput.Video.Overscan = 0 xineliboutput.Video.Port = :0.0 xineliboutput.Video.Saturation = -1 xineliboutput.Video.Scale = 0 xineliboutput.Video.SwScale = 0 xineliboutput.Video.SwScale.Aspect = 0 xineliboutput.Video.SwScale.Downscale = 0 xineliboutput.Video.SwScale.Height = 576 xineliboutput.Video.SwScale.Resize = 0 xineliboutput.Video.SwScale.Width = 720 xineliboutput.VideoModeSwitching = 1

I guess there is some kind of "impossibility" here, but I didn't tweak these setting manually.

(I didn't find an english-speaking xineliboutput-specific mailing list anywhere, so I guess the good spot is here)

you can send gdb ouput of crash to this list http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?forum_name=xineliboutput-devel xineliboutput-devel

It appears the problem only occurs with --video=xxmc, not --video=xv (I didn't test other outputs, but trace seems to be clear, even without debug symbols):

I'm not sure at all that the backtrace relates to the crashed (or exited) thread. I don't know enough about gdb... One sure thing is the "X Error of failed request: BadRequest" is always the same (same OSD actions before the crash, ie. same "serial number"). The thread number "(LWP 2653)" seems to be related to "video_out_xxmc"

Live TV comes from streamdev-client, but the problem also occurs when playing a recording.

Maybe you should upgrade to 1.1.15. :-)

Well... I think I'll have a step at 1.1.14, when e-tobi.net is ready for lenny, then ;-) Maybe xserver-xorg-video-openchrome will also solve issues left in xserver-xorg-video-via too...

Do you (Darren) still maintain an up-to-date repository with Xorg and VDR, Xine, etc? I remember using it when playing with CLE266 hardware acceleration, a long time ago.
