VDR 1.7.5 + OSS can not control sound
by martinez＠embl.de 17 Apr '09

17 Apr '09

VDR 1.7.5 + oxine + HDMI output I get sound through the HDMI socket which is good but there is no way to control it from VDR (I am sure there is but I don't know how to) The volume level on the screen goes left or right no problems, I can press the mute button and it works too, except that the actual sound is unaffected. I have OSS-4.1-1052 Can somebody help or at least point me in the right direction? dmesg |grep HDA [ 65.298707] oss_hdaudio: Unknown HDA codec 0x10de0002 [ 65.313732] oss_hdaudio: Unknown HDA codec 0x10de0002 and this is the output from ossinfo Version info: OSS 4.1 (b 1052/200903240610) (0x00040100) Platform: Linux/i686 2.6.27-11-generic #1 SMP Wed Apr 1 20:57:48 UTC 2009 (mythtv-vdr) Number of audio devices: 9 Number of audio engines: 13 Number of mixer devices: 1 Device objects 0: osscore0 OSS core services 1: oss_hdaudio0 nVidia HD Audio interrupts=1576709 (1576710) HD Audio controller nVidia HD Audio Vendor ID 0x10de0774 Subvendor ID 0x147b1c44 Codec 0: ALC888 (0x10ec0888/0x147b0000) Codec 3: Unknown (0x10de0002/0x10de0101) 2: oss_usb0 USB audio core services Mixer devices 0: High Definition Audio ALC888 (Mixer 0 of device object 1) Audio devices HD Audio play front /dev/oss/oss_hdaudio0/pcm0 (device index 0) HD Audio play rear /dev/oss/oss_hdaudio0/pcm1 (device index 1) HD Audio play center/LFE /dev/oss/oss_hdaudio0/pcm2 (device index 2) HD Audio play side /dev/oss/oss_hdaudio0/pcm3 (device index 3) HD Audio play pcm4 /dev/oss/oss_hdaudio0/pcm4 (device index 4) HD Audio play spdif-out /dev/oss/oss_hdaudio0/spdout0 (device index 5) HD Audio play spdifout /dev/oss/oss_hdaudio0/spdout1 (device index 6) HD Audio rec mix /dev/oss/oss_hdaudio0/pcmin0 (device index 7) HD Audio rec mix /dev/oss/oss_hdaudio0/pcmin1 (device index 8)

vdr directories
by martinez＠embl.de 17 Apr '09

17 Apr '09

Can somebody clarify please. Does vdr need simply a directory of its own for recordings (in my case I have assigned it /media/video/vdr ) or a unique mount point (in which case I would have to repartition since I have a 1TB hard drive mounted on /media/video but have other folders in /media/video (avi, mpg) Will vdr try to go through /media/video/avi (to my dismay if that is the case!) or just /media/video/vdr Thanks

Possibly corrupt stream for VDR frontends in 1.7.4?
by Artem Makhutov 16 Apr '09

16 Apr '09

Hello, currently watching HDTV channels using a VDR frontend (streamdev and xineliboutput - current CVS builds) is impossible for me. Watching the recordings (00001.ts) using xine (with VDPAU) works like a charm. I am wondering if there could be a bug in how VDR is presenting the TS data to the frontends. I have just a corrupt video and audio using both plugins. I have also glitches in MPEG2 streams some times, which do not occour when watching the .ts recording directly. Can somebody validate this? Thanks, Artem PS: I saw similar problems while testing the multicast output of streamdev. The STBs I have used for playback did not liked 1500 bytes large packets which streamdev had send out (Xine had no problems in playing them back). When streamdev was changed to send 1316 (7*188) bytes packets the problem was solved for the STBs. Maybe there is something similar with VDR 1.7.4?

vdr 1.7.4 memory leak?
by martinez＠embl.de 16 Apr '09

16 Apr '09

I have setup an HTPC based on oxine + vdr It has 2gigs of RAM and another 2gigs of Swap space Upon booting it uses about 300megs of RAM. 5 hours later (running vdr all this time) I notice most of the ram is in use. Is this a known memory leak or a design feature? If a known memory leak is there a patch for it or we need to wait for 1.7.5? I include a snapshot of top top - 16:15:00 up 45 min, 2 users, load average: 1.06, 1.34, 1.45 Tasks: 113 total, 1 running, 112 sleeping, 0 stopped, 0 zombie Cpu(s): 21.2%us, 2.5%sy, 0.2%ni, 76.2%id, 0.0%wa, 0.0%hi, 0.0%si, 0.0%st Mem: 1811916k total, 1765156k used, 46760k free, 15640k buffers Swap: 2096472k total, 4972k used, 2091500k free, 1449112k cached PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND 6486 root 20 0 203m 59m 19m S 16 3.4 5:18.98 oxine 6699 root 20 0 172m 11m 5680 S 14 0.7 5:06.00 vdr 6133 root 20 0 94144 50m 32m S 9 2.9 1:21.67 Xorg 6721 root 15 -5 0 0 0 S 2 0.0 0:37.73 cx88[0] dvb 6330 root 20 0 63672 2324 1752 S 1 0.1 0:16.44 CCcam.x86 6702 root 15 -5 0 0 0 S 1 0.0 0:12.24 kdvb-ad-0-fe-0 1 root 20 0 3056 1900 576 S 0 0.1 0:01.60 init

VDR 1.7.4 and TS recording with subs
by Latdna 15 Apr '09

15 Apr '09

Hey I tested latest 1.7.4 beta becouse of ts recording feature but sadly its looks like that it won't record everything like its recived. You can notice this with not having dvb subtitles or teletext subtitles support with vlc. Could someone make patch for this so subs would work with vlc and maybe add it to future versions? Patch for vlc or some setting to it get it understand vdr ts format would be ok also.

Streaming recordings
by scott 15 Apr '09

15 Apr '09

Hi, I was thinking of hacking in some more support to streamdev to support playback of recordings. Early days though. VTP seems easiest to get some playback with the PORT and PROV commands, although SVDRP has some support with the LSTR. Dont want to step on anyones toes, but any thoughts/suggestions? -- Scott

reel netclient
by Torgeir Veimo 14 Apr '09

14 Apr '09

http://www.reel-multimedia.com/en/shop_netclient.php describes a new product by reel that allows streaming of HD content over the network. It includes a hw decoder that supports mpeg2/4 and is to be used with the reelbox avantgarde as server. I'd assume reel has implemented something a bit more sophisticated than streamdev for this, but given the open source nature of their products, I'm wondering if someone has tried looking into using this client with pure VDR? -- Torgeir Veimo torgeir(a)pobox.com

[PATCH] jumpplay patch 1.0 for VDR-1.7.5
by Thomas Günther 13 Apr '09

13 Apr '09

Hi! The jumpplay patch for vdr-1.7.5 is available: http://toms-cafe.de/vdr/download/vdr-jumpplay-1.0-1.7.5.diff This patch changes the replay behaviour for recordings that contain editing marks. It allows to immediately continue the replay after jumping forward to the next mark, and to automatically jump over the commercial break to the next "start" mark, if an "end" mark is reached. The features of this patch can be turned on or off in the replay setup. See README.jumpplay included in the patch for details, history and contributors. Tom
