Hi Klaus I read yesterday a part of your answer mail to a question of vdr user: > In VDR version 1.4 the CA_PMT records (that's the data a CAM needs in > order to know which PIDs it shall decrypt) are sent to all CAMs in > one CI device. I know that this can be a problem, and that's why I'm > going to address this first thing in the upcoming 1.5 developer > version. I like to know if you have create a to-do-list for new developper release... thanks for your work on vdr bye kikko77

streamdev client & server contention
by Simon Baxter 07 Nov '06

07 Nov '06

I've been trying all the available modes in the streamdev-server to find the one that suits my needs best. I have 2 VDRs, a server and a client. Ideally, I'd like them both to be able to change channel - and when the transponders need to change, one will just force the other to change as well. This is sort of possible with the"Client may suspend" set to "offer", but has some problems. 1. Server set to channel/transponder A 2. Client set to channel/transponder A -fine 3. Client changes to channel/transponder B -Client is switched -Server is also switched, and channel displayed but when you hit "OK" VDR thinks it's still on A! 4. Client changes to channel/transponder C -Client is switched -Server is also switched, and channel displayed but when you hit "OK" VDR thinks it's still on A! 5. Server tries to change to channel/transponder B -says 'channel not available' >From here, the only way I can get the Server to change channel/transponders is if I shut down VDR on the client, or go into plugins>streamdev-client and set connect to "no", and restart VDR (on the client) It'd be nice if there was a menu option on the client to disconnect the VTP session??

Decoding is done via ffmpeg. This is just a maintance release for previous 0.3.0 version, as code for support of vdr version earlier than vdr-1.3.7 will be removed soon. Supported vdr versions: (1.2.x,) 1.3.x and 1.4.x Plugin's homepage is located at: http://softdevice.berlios.de/ Changelog since last release: 2006-11-05: softdevice-0.3.1 - xv-out: limit used width & height to screen dimensions. - audio: select alsa h/w-mixer for volume control via command line. 2006-10-11: - hopfull final color jump fix for odd "cut columns from left" values. - fix horizontal picture placement when YUY2 is selected for xv-out. 2006-10-10: - fix segfaults when YUY2 pixelformat is used for xv-out and cut lines from top is non zero. This fixes wrong colors and misplaced OSD drawing too, when cut colums from left is non zero. Stefan Lucke

Hi!, Recently I have connected my vdr box to my CRT 16:9 TV. I use the s-video(I want to use the rca tv-out for digital audio) connector of my epia M.10000. I have followed some instructions to configure xorg with s-video out from this page: http://www.kingcot.eclipse.co.uk/unichrome/unichromeTvOut.html I don't know if this url is up to date. I have got see my wmaker desktop in my tv but when I start vdr with softdevice I get: [softdevice] initializing Plugin [softdevice] Initializing Video Out [softdevice] ffmpeg build(3345920) [XvVideoOut]: osd_image shmid = 2686978 [XvVideoOut]: got osd_image: width 720 height 576, bytes per line 2880 [softdevice] Subplugin successfully opend [softdevice] Video Out seems to be OK [softdevice] Initializing Audio Out [softdevice] Audio out seems to be OK [softdevice] A/V devices initialized, now initializing MPEG2 Decoder X Error of failed request: BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation) Major opcode of failed request: 145 (MIT-SHM) Minor opcode of failed request: 3 (X_ShmPutImage) Value in failed request: 0x2ff Serial number of failed request: 337 Current serial number in output stream: 338 I hope anyone could help me to solve this problem. Another question... Do you know any url to learn about epia-m10000 s-video out and xorg? Thanks.

ERROR: LIRC remote control thread xx won't end
by Markus Hahn 03 Nov '06

03 Nov '06

Hi there, due to debuging purposes I set in void cThread::Cancel(int WaitSeconds) WaitSeconds = 6000; between the waits of 3 seconds I syslog the message: "thread won`t end" . At vdr shutdown I get the (endless) error message : [vdr] ERROR: LIRC remote control thread xxx won't end _until_ I pressed any key. If Cancel() kills a thread, it ends up with a Segfault mostly. Does anybody noticed this behavior to? Maybe there must be another interrogation of Running() in lirc.c regards Markus

FF card a/v sync + dvd plugin
by Halim Sahin 02 Nov '06

02 Nov '06

Hi list, I tested a dvd with softdevice and the audio stuttering problem did not occur. With my FF-DVB card I can not watch a dvd and switch capters or use the jump feature of the dvd-plugin. What do you think about this. Perhaps this can be the same Problem with the dvd-plugin and the FF-DVB card a/v sync stuff? Best regards Halim Sahin
