Hi guys, I've recently bought an Xtreamer device www.xtreamer.net (apparently a mvix product). I would just like to know if anybody else got it working with streamdev-server plugin on vdr-1.6.0? Thanks Theunis

Plugin compiler arguments / Make.config
by Frank Schmirler 06 Dec '09

06 Dec '09

Hi there, since vdr-1.7.3, VDR is compiled with the additional arguments -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_LARGEFILE64_SOURCE Plugins should be compiled with the same arguments as otherwise one might get unresolved symbols when loading the plugin. Consistently, in vdr-1.7.4 these defines have been added to the plugin part of Make.config.template. But that won't fix anything for the people who don't use a Make.config at all (those who do, need to check if something has changed in the template when updating). How could this problem be solved conveniently? I'd opt for copying Make.config.template to Make.config if no Make.config exists yet. A good place to do this would be in "make include-dir". The documentation and UPDATE files should remind those who copy Make.config from an older release to fit in necessary changes. Other options: * Additional file to include by VDR and plugin Makefiles with such "mandatory" defines - this somewhat contradicts the idea of Make.config. * In the Makefile of each affected plugin, check for the presence of Make.config. If it's missing, check the VDR version and if required, add the defines - naah! Cheers, Frank

lirc-0.8.6 moved socket to /var/run/lirc/lircd
by Matthias Schwarzott 06 Dec '09

06 Dec '09

Hi list! lirc starting from version 0.8.6, does use the socket /var/run/lirc/lircd instead of /dev/lircd, so all apps not using liblirc_client need to be changed. Else IR will not work in VDR. There are two possibilities: 1. Shell code to check which of the two sockets do exist and adding relevant command-line-parameter to vdr (--lirc=/var/run/lirc/lircd). 2. Patching VDR to check both pathes and using the existing one. Regards Matthias

[path] vdr-1.6 better spu on ff card
by matthieu castet 05 Dec '09

05 Dec '09

Hi, this patch try to handle case where the osd is limited (for example on ff card). For that it try to split area, count the really needed bpp (all transparent index can be merged together and will with my previous patch in osd.c). Also it fix a bug in the current version : removing all the transparent baground area is ok only if it is recomputed at each draw. Otherwise a highlight request can happen outside the computed area. With this patch I can navigate in dvd menu that produce oeOutOfMemory before. Matthieu

[PATCH] Don't hardcode lirc socket path in the sky plugin
by Ville Skyttä 05 Dec '09

05 Dec '09

Hello, The attached patch avoids hardcoded lirc socket path in the sky plugin, making it use the value from Make.config by default. The patch is against 1.6.0-2 but appears to apply cleanly to 1.7.10 as well.

Tuner switch when timer starts recording
by Falk Spitzberg 05 Dec '09

05 Dec '09

Hello, With VDR 1.7.9 i often notice that VDR switches the live TV to a different receiver card, when a timer starts recording, although the second card is available. This causes a short interrupt in live TV. My system has two DVB cards, an old FF and a Tevii S470, and an eHD. Sample situation 1: the only activity is live TV on ZDF. Now a timer starts recording from RTL 2, which interrupts the live program for a short moment. Sample situation 2: the only activity is live TV on RTL. Now a timer starts recording from RTL 2. Nothing happens, because VDR correctly shares the transponder with live TV. I would understand when VDR switches live TV from the DVB-S2 card to the DVB-S card when it needs to tune a different transponder for a DVB-S2 recording, but since it can do DVB-S recordings from any card, there is no reason to switch live TV for such recordings.

Broken CAM handling with TechniSat TechniCAM and ORF Digital Card
by gimli 05 Dec '09

05 Dec '09

Hi, my setup : Ubuntu Karmic 9.10 vdr-1.7.9 xinelib 1.2 hg kernel 2.6.31 my DVB hardware : TechnoTrend TT3200 + Budget CI my problem : Two weeks ago i upgraded my VDR from 1.7.0 to 1.7.9 and discovered that the CAM handling with the TechniSat TechniCAM and ORF Digital Card is broken. The Decryption starts and stops after two seconds. Reverting back the changes in ci.c,pat.c and pat.h to the version of vdr 1.7.8 solves the problem temporarily. How can i help debuging the real problem in vdr 1.7.9 and fixing it ? Happy Penguin Edgar (gimli) Hucek
