kmplayer & VDR?
by CR 24 Jul '06

24 Jul '06

Hi, Anyone here using kmplayer as a front-end for VDR? I can get kmplayer to connect to my vdr (I see the connection the syslog) but pressing buttons on the remote does not bring up an OSD. I can type numbers of channels on the keyboard and I see in the syslog vdr tunes to them, but again nothing in kmplayer window showing any of that. Thanks, CR.

xine and watching DVDs
by Simon Baxter 23 Jul '06

23 Jul '06

another quick note for those who want to just use xine natively to watch DVDs. even though I set the region in Xine for '2', I couldn't watch any DVDs until I used 'regionset' on the drive itself. The new RPCII drive shipped with no region set, and Xine didn't like that! Gave a popup warning about 'crypted DVDs' whenever I tried to use it.

vdr-xine not switching
by Simon Baxter 23 Jul '06

23 Jul '06

I've just installed vdr-1.4.1 and start it with: ./vdr -P'xine -q -r -s' \ -P'remote -l /dev/lircd' \ -P'skincurses' \ -P'dvd' \ -P'epgsearch' \ -P'sysinfo' \ -P'mplayer' \ -P'mp3 -c /media/video/vdr-1.4.1/plugins/cache/image/mp3/ -i image_convert.sh' \ -P'pvrinput' \ -s '~vdruser/vdr-1.4.1/halt.sh' When xine starts, vdr is stuck in 'Skin: Text Mode'. If I go into skincurses OSD and change the OSD to vdr-panels, it's fine until the next restart. Then it reverts to skincurses mode. any ideas?

Is there ANY support for DVD-PLUGIN ??????
by Simon Baxter 23 Jul '06

23 Jul '06

Hi. I've posted a few threads recently, trying to find some support for repairing my dvd plugin. I used to be able to play all sorts of DVDs, now nothing works. I can play some DVDs, with menus, with Xine and can play most DVDs, without menus, with mplayer - so I assume my libdvdcss and libdvdread are still ok. The DVD plugin fails though. All I get is: libdvdnav: Using dvdnav version 0.1.10 from http://dvd.sf.net libdvdnav: DVD Title: BBCDVD1733 libdvdnav: DVD Serial Number: 32ed6273 libdvdnav: DVD Title (Alternative): libdvdnav: Unable to find map file '/home/vdruser/.dvdnav/BBCDVD1733.map' libdvdnav: DVD disk reports itself with Region mask 0x00f50000. Regions: 2 4 ./runvdr.sh: line 40:2280 Aborted Can anyone help??

[PATCH] Invalidate /video cache _after_ cutting
by Artur Skawina 23 Jul '06

23 Jul '06

When a new recording is started vdr touches the .update file so that all vdrs using the same /video directory rescan the tree and discover the new data. While this makes sense for 'normal' recordings (makes it possible to watch an ongoing recording on another vdr), it also happens when the cutting process is started. This causes all other vdrs to almost immediately reread the /video tree while the disk is busy -- both the cutting process and the clients are significantly slowed down. This change lets the horde of vdrs loose _after_ the cutting is finished. Edited recordings appear on other vdrs first when they are finished. artur diff -urNp vdr-1.4.1.org/cutter.c vdr-1.4.1-tr/cutter.c --- vdr-1.4.1.org/cutter.c 2006-02-12 10:07:23.000000000 +0000 +++ vdr-1.4.1-tr/cutter.c 2006-07-07 13:42:10.000000000 +0000 @@ -171,6 +171,7 @@ void cCuttingThread::Action(void) LastMark = true; } } + Recordings.TouchUpdate(); } else esyslog("no editing marks found!"); @@ -205,7 +206,7 @@ bool cCutter::Start(const char *FileName // XXX editedVersionName = strdup(evn); Recording.WriteInfo(); - Recordings.AddByName(editedVersionName); + Recordings.AddByName(editedVersionName, false); cuttingThread = new cCuttingThread(FileName, editedVersionName); return true; } diff -urNp vdr-1.4.1.org/recording.c vdr-1.4.1-tr/recording.c --- vdr-1.4.1.org/recording.c 2006-04-29 13:22:20.000000000 +0000 +++ vdr-1.4.1-tr/recording.c 2006-07-07 13:42:10.000000000 +0000 @@ -970,7 +970,7 @@ cRecording *cRecordings::GetByName(const return NULL; } -void cRecordings::AddByName(const char *FileName) +void cRecordings::AddByName(const char *FileName, bool TriggerUpdate) { LOCK_THREAD; cRecording *recording = GetByName(FileName); @@ -978,7 +978,8 @@ void cRecordings::AddByName(const char * recording = new cRecording(FileName); Add(recording); ChangeState(); - TouchUpdate(); + if (TriggerUpdate) + TouchUpdate(); } } diff -urNp vdr-1.4.1.org/recording.h vdr-1.4.1-tr/recording.h --- vdr-1.4.1.org/recording.h 2006-04-09 13:47:11.000000000 +0000 +++ vdr-1.4.1-tr/recording.h 2006-07-07 13:42:10.000000000 +0000 @@ -133,7 +133,7 @@ public: bool StateChanged(int &State); void ResetResume(const char *ResumeFileName = NULL); cRecording *GetByName(const char *FileName); - void AddByName(const char *FileName); + void AddByName(const char *FileName, bool TriggerUpdate = 1); void DelByName(const char *FileName); int TotalFileSizeMB(void); ///< Only for deleted recordings! };

Minor annoyance: Freeze when playing short recordings
by Udo Richter 23 Jul '06

23 Jul '06

Hi list, Out of curiosity I've been digging in an old minor bug: Sometimes, on very short recordings, VDR freezes for a few seconds near the end of playback. This bug is old, imho it must have been there before 1.2.0. Based on my dig, the cause is cIndexFile::CatchUp() (recording.c line 1233), and the exact conditions are: (1) The recording was recorded or cutted less than an hour ago (2) The recording is shorter than 60s (PAL) (3) Read ahead reaches end of recording (2-3s before end) On these conditions, VDR will freeze 8 seconds, looking for changes to the index.vdr file. (1) is triggered by if (time(NULL) - buf.st_mtime > MININDEXAGE), (2) is triggered by if (... || Index > 10 * INDEXSAFETYLIMIT), (3) is triggered by if (Index < last - (i ? 2 * INDEXSAFETYLIMIT : 0) || ...). The whole sleeping stuff seems to be for live pause mode, so playback doesn't stop instantly and waits for some recorded frames. For one thing, the test of (3) looks fishy to me. i is a loop index running from 0 to 8 (seconds), so the condition is (Index < last) on first loop, and (Index < last - 2 * INDEXSAFETYLIMIT) on all other loops. In words: On loop 0, exit if not on last frame, on loop 1..8 exit if less than 12 seconds before end. Does this have to be the other way round? Or is it intended to sleep only on last frame, and then wait up to 8 seconds for index file to grow by 12 seconds? Anyway, this doesn't fix the initial problem. The problem is to detect whether the recording may still be growing or not. The test on age older than one hour may be adapted for that, but instead of stopping to check index.vdr, maybe we should (additionally) exit the loop if index.vdr exists and is older than 10 seconds? Cheers, Udo

remote clients with xineliboutput questions
by Jon 23 Jul '06

23 Jul '06

I've been running VDR for a while now with a FF card and a bunch of dvb-t cards as a standalone system- its works great even the wife cant live without it now ;-) Thanks to everyone especially Klaus for this great software. I want to use another TV with VDR and I was thinking of creating two remote clients and converting my existing vdr server into a headless streaming server, it looks like the xineliboutput plugin seems to provide the best solution combined with a mini-itx board like the epia sp 1300 (I watch a bunch of xvids) but I have some questions that I hope soneone can help me with: Can the two remote clients act independently to each other, with full osd? Can timers be scheduled from the remote clients? How reliable is this setup? Is there a better solution? Thanks Jonathan

wrong behaviour when mixing channel group selection and channel number entering
by Andreas Regel 23 Jul '06

23 Jul '06

Hi, I found a bug in vdr 1.4.1 with maintenance patch 1, that occurs when doing the following: 1. select a channel group using left/right keys 2. when the channel display is still open enter a channel number 3. wait until entered channel is tuned 4. press ok to remove window -> now the first channel in the previously selected group is tuned which is not the expected behaviour. attached patch fixes the problem Best regards, Andreas
