[vdr] Re: ANNOUNCE: streamdev-0.2.0 (Client/Server Streaming)

[Seppo Ingalsuo <seppo.ingalsuo@iki.fi>]

Hi,

I can't get Nova-S + Nova-T combination to work simultaneously in a 
streamdev server. I get segfaults (DDD output):

(gdb) run -c/etc/vdr -v/opt/localvdr -E/etc/vdr -L/usr/local/lib/vdr

The pointer in ddd is at the first "if" in client/connection.c:

                        return false;
        }
        return true;
}

I removed all vdr patches so the condiguration is plain vdr 1.2.5 and 
streamdev 0.2.0. Vdr is compiled with DEBUG_OSD=1 to get access to menus.

There is also something weird even if streamdev plugin is not started. I 
need to select from vdr settings menu DVB device 1 Nova-S as primary to 
be able to switch to satellite channels and dvb device 2 Nova-T to 
switch to terrestial channels. Naturally is not possible to see the 
picture in ASCII terminal but some EPG information is shown. In failing 
channel switches I get "Channel not available" text to OSD. Here is an 
example log from starting with "Das Erste" and trying to switch to 
terrestial channel.

Any hints how to find out more why the channels are not available is 
welcome. I once had almost similar test setup working. Outside vdr I'm 
able to simultaneously tzap -a 1 "subtv" and szap -a 0 "Das Erste" 
example channels succesfully.

BTW, the EPG update feature which I was asking about a few days ago 
seems to work. Vdr client now gets satellite EPG data!

BR,
Seppo
