[vdr] Re: xine

Hi,

I suggest to write to the ML, as there are more people with different hardware 
configurations, so you your chances are higher to get a solution.

Sorry, but I haven't seen xine crashing for quite a while. Do you really mean 
crash, or is it more likely, that you mean freeze. When xine's GUI freezes, it 
means in my case, that their is no data available from the given fifo.

Looks correct. I assume you're using vdr-xine-0.0.2, aren't you? Please try

	cat /videoxfs/test/xine/device0.vdr

If you get a lot of garbage at the console, then the stream is properly 
forwarded to the fifo (maybe you have to type 'reset' and 'clear' to get the 
console back working again).

If you get no output, then nothing is written into this fifo. Release 0.0.1 
tried to use the make variable "VIDEODIR", but failed for most people, because 
of accessing "/xine/device0.vdr" instead of "/video/xine/device0.vdr" (or 
something similar). Release 0.0.2 fails to build, if VIDEODIR is not set, and 
release 0.0.3 will nolonger need it.

I only have a single budget card, but

	./runvdr -D0 -Pxine

works without any issues.

This menu entry has no function at the moment, as VDR tells you, when you 
select it. I don't see any use for it, so maybe from release 0.0.3 it will be 
hidden.

At least it indicated, that the plugin was loaded properly. To see, whether it 
is working, use the above mentioned cat command.

This is what I get:

got SETPREBUFFER
audio_alsa_out: Resume call failed err=-77

The output upto "got SETPREBUFFER" appears, when vdr is not running, i. e. no 
data is put into the given fifo. The last two lines appear, when vdr was 
already started and the fifo receives the stream (without any further OSD 
action) until quitting xine.

Are you using the CVS version of xine, aren't you? There have been a couple of 
fixes to the mpeg_pes demuxer past snapshot "rc0a". Maybe you can use the 
sources supplied by Sascha Volkenandt (thanks, btw.):

	http://www.magoa.net/linux/files/xine-lib-20030908-vdr.tar.bz2

It already contains the release 0.0.1 sources of my input plugin for xine. If 
you are going to use release 0.0.2 (recommended), you'll have to replace the 
two files mentioned in INSTALL.

I hope this message helps you any futher and please reply to the list :-)

Bye.
