xinelib error??? video_out: throwing away image
by Simon Baxter 13 Nov '06

13 Nov '06

Hi. I'm having intermittant problems when replaying vdr recordings with xineliboutput. Every few minutes I get an audio/video slip/break and stdout reports: video_out: throwing away image with pts 124350653 because it's too old (diff : 29229) Is this a xinelib message? I'm running a xine-lib taken from cvs on the 4th of June 2006

vdr Feature request
by Halim Sahin 12 Nov '06

12 Nov '06

Hello Klaus, Some LNB's don't get a lock while switching to a special frequency. After a small change in the Frequency it works e. G. 12630->12629 ... Some receivers can set a frequency with a adjustable vallue in thei software. Is it posible to get such a feature in vdr? Perhaps in menu->settings->dvb?? MfG. Halim

LCD plugin
by Simon Baxter 12 Nov '06

12 Nov '06

Hi. Can anyone point me to a good resource for building an LCD display? The LCD plugin page is great for controller support etc, but how do I get a display actually hooked up? Or is there a nice kit out there, with a good resolution, that fits in a 3.5" drive bay slot??

Xineliboutput with DirectFB

Hello, has anyone gotten xineliboutput with DirectFB to work?

vdr exit codes?
by JikJikMan 12 Nov '06

12 Nov '06

Hi all, Does VDR had exit codes? I mean, how could I find what is the cause of VDR exit? For example, I want to know is the VDR exit for storage failure, driver failure, timers.conf failure or any thing else. It is because I wrote a script for restarting my system when vdr exits, but I want to prevent this for errors that are persistent, like hard disk failure, or timers.conf file failure. Thanks. J. Anderson.

xineliboutput letterbox & mplayer problems
by Simon Baxter 12 Nov '06

12 Nov '06

I've been trying xineliboutput for the first time - looks like it will solve all sorts of problems I've been having, if I can get over these ones.... Problem number 1: If I start the plugin with : vdr -P"xineliboutput --local=sxfe --video=xv --audio=alsa --remote=none" I get a letterbox window in the middle of the gnome screen. So I tried: -P'xineliboutput --fullscreen --local=sxfe --video=xxmc --audio=alsa --remote=none' This gives me the same as above, but with black borders filling the screen. Still a much smaller picture than the full screen I get with vdr-xine. Also, when I change channels (PVR with pvrinput plugin) the various channel scaling leaves parts of the picture around the new "letterbox" image. How do I set scaling? When I use vdr-xine, I start it with "xine --fullscreen --hide-gui -V xv -A alsa -D --post vdr_video --post vdr_audio vdr://tmp/vdr-xine/stream#demux:mpeg_pes" Problem number 2: I have been using the mplayer plugin to play divx/xvid/mpeg movies. It's rather clumsy though, as I need to kill xine and restart after (scripted) to free up the xxmc/xvmc resources. When I try and play an avi file with xineliboutput, I get stuttering video and loads of the following: bad_frame [mpeg4 @ 0x125b4e4]header damaged What does work well, which I'm VERY pleased with, is DVD playback. I've had a long standing problem with intermittant audio stuttering - which seems to be resolved with xineliboutput!

How to determine that VDR is ready to go ?
by vdr＠helmutauer.de 11 Nov '06

11 Nov '06

Hi, I'd like to know when vdr is ready with its initializatin routines ( starting plugins etc ). This is necessary to optimize the system boot up time, because starting other services should wait until vdr is ready. Till now I do a "sleep 15", but thats not really nice ;) A possible workaround is to count the vdr pids and when this number does not grow for about 3 seconds I decide that startup is done. Also I can search the syslog for special messages, but thats all not very handy. Any other ideas are welcome :) Bye Helmut
