[PATCH] fix plugin arguments corruption
by Anssi Hannula 06 Jan '10

06 Jan '10

VDR uses the construct "strcpy(s, s + 1)" in plugin arguments processing for stripping first character of s. However, as per strcpy man page, the source and destination strings may not overlap. There are a couple of ways to fix them, but the attached patch simply changes them to "memmove(s, s + 1, strlen(s))". The patch applies both to 1.7.10 and 1.6.0. This fixes plugin arguments corruption with glibc 2.11 on x86_64. -- Anssi Hannula

e-tobi/Debian runvdr patch for USB modules
by Nicolas Huillard 05 Jan '10

05 Jan '10

Hi, Here is a patch that loads/unloads USB modules in the runvdr script found in e-tobi and probably Debian packages. It works since 1 month here, with the Nova-TD-500 PCI card (with onboard USB), which uses dvb_usb and dvb_usb_dib0700. Happy new year to everyone ;-) -- NH

problem with PPA VDR Team installation
by serge pecher 04 Jan '10

04 Jan '10

Hello, I am using vdr 1.6 on a production machine with a FF card with a lot of satisfaction. I am already trying for several months (years ?) to get an another system working with 2 budget HD cards, and 2 clients. The first client is on the same machine (P4, 3.2 Ghz), the 2nd is a HP thinclient. On both i run vdpau. I am living in belgium, using TVvlaanderen (SD channels) and Telesat (SD and HD channels, some SD channels in mpeg-4) In the past I tried my own compilation, but without getting good results. The last i tried was a fresh install of Karmic with the PPA of vdr team and the XBMC experimental PPA. The results are still not satisfactory (not usable without frequent restart). I was wondering of it was related to my system, or to the developpment level of the softwares. The main issues I have : 1) vdr-plugin-xine : when viewing with xine, on some channels sound disappears after some time. 2) vdr-plugin-xineliboutput : Can't start it ->segmentation fault 3) XBMC : from the moment I can get a channel, it goes perfect. It often freeze when zapping (have to kill xbmc). No sound on HD channels. Do you also encounter (ed) those problems, are there solutions yet ? Do you have some hints to resolve this issues. many thanks, sp

Recommendation for new hd vdr system.
by Luca Olivetti 04 Jan '10

04 Jan '10

Hello, Now that I have an hd tv set, I'm looking at revamping my ageing vdr system for hd. Oh, and I want it to be really cheap ;-) It seems that the only reasonable option is a motherboard/graphic card supported by nvidia vdpau. I need a parallel port and a pci slot (I want to use my current dvb-s card), so the revo and similar nettops are out. The asus P5N7A-VM motherboard seems a good candidate, is its integrated 9300 graphics powerful enough for good deinterlacing? According to this page http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/VDPAU the only limitation is that it cannot do Advanced 2x for HD content, everything else is covered (I'm currently using temporal on my laptop and, while acceptable, it doesn't seem top-notch). Or should I better buy a cheap motherboard and add an external nvidia graphic card? Any suggestion? Bye -- Luca

451 Grab image failed
by Rene 03 Jan '10

03 Jan '10

Hi all! I have had problems in getting screen captures from VDR (VDR 1.6.0_p2-r3 on Gentoo) with with for example: svdrpsend.pl grab file.jpg and Wapd, Vdr-live etc etc. I have "-g /tmp" set when starting VDR.. I actually don't remember when i lost this function, but this definitely worked at some point. I have two dvb-cards: One budget, and one full-featured card (FF Technotrend dvb-s, and Technotrend budget dvb-t) I have read about many similar cases, and some of them got sorted out by getting more fresh dvb-drivers. These cases where from 2006, so i would assume that this issue should have been solved til now.. I also changed the order of the dvb-cards, because this seemed to be an issue at least in one case.. Now I'm using the 2.6.31 kernel with the original dvb-modules (budget_ci and dvb_ttpci). My question is now: What else should i try to do so that i could get the grab-function to work again? Any ideas and helps are appreciated! Regards, René

FRC + HDMI with Radeon 9200 SE
by kompu 01 Jan '10

01 Jan '10

I have tried to get FRC + HDMI working with my Radeon 9200 SE Without success... :) I have installed all those patches like instructed on http://vga2scart.gw90.de/install/ Using Debian Lenny. I have understod that I don´t need patch kernel with fb-drm-radeon-intel.patch if I´m using HDMI only? Is this correct? I haven´t been able to get any kind of picture from DVI connector. I need complete xorg.conf which gives me 720x576i or 1440x576i from DVI connector of 9200 SE.
