frequent xine crashes with vdr
by martinez＠embl.de 15 Aug '10

15 Aug '10

I start vdr and xine and all looks nicely and I zap channels a couple of times without problems and the 3rd time or so xine freezes and I need to restart it It used to work fine, only 3 things have changed: 64 bits os instead of 32, a newer kernel, and using the kernel´s driver for my card (S2-HD-NOVA) instead of the liaplin´s ones Could someone point out what is the likely culprit? Does vdr+xine run stable on 64 bits? uname -r 2.6.34-ARCH tail /var/log/everything.log Aug 15 10:45:01 htpc crond[2702]: FILE /var/spool/cron/root USER root PID 2935 job sys-hourly Aug 15 10:45:20 htpc kernel: out of order segment: rcv_next CA1E6BF8 seq CA1E6C00 - CA1E6C08 Aug 15 10:45:20 htpc kernel: out of order segment: rcv_next CA1E6BF8 seq CA1E6C08 - CA1E6C56 Aug 15 10:45:20 htpc kernel: ofo requeuing : rcv_next CA1E6C00 seq CA1E6C00 - CA1E6C08 Aug 15 10:45:20 htpc kernel: ofo requeuing : rcv_next CA1E6C08 seq CA1E6C08 - CA1E6C56 Aug 15 11:09:03 htpc -- MARK -- Aug 15 11:10:25 htpc kernel: out of order segment: rcv_next CA1E7E14 seq CA1E7E1C - CA1E7E24 Aug 15 11:10:25 htpc kernel: out of order segment: rcv_next CA1E7E14 seq CA1E7E24 - CA1E7E72 Aug 15 11:10:25 htpc kernel: ofo requeuing : rcv_next CA1E7E1C seq CA1E7E1C - CA1E7E24 Aug 15 11:10:25 htpc kernel: ofo requeuing : rcv_next CA1E7E24 seq CA1E7E24 - CA1E7E72

I have tried --buffers=5 value, but it didn't help.. (With lower value I cannot see any picture) So, nobody have any real clue what's wrong and how to fix it..

Yes, I have same symptoms, no vdpau here. I put it down to the client clearing through its buffer, but that's just a guess.

vdr-1.7.15 working with softdevice?
by Laz 11 Aug '10

11 Aug '10

Hi, Does anyone have a working setup involving vdr-1.7.15 and softdevice? I ask because I've been happily using vdr-1.7.0 (the one just before changing the DVB driver version) with softdevice since vdr-1.7.0 was released. I finally took the plunge and built the new DVB drivers and grabbed the latest version of vdr and this also includes the changes from PES to TS. It _almost_ works: I get a second or so of live TV, then lots of stuttering, and then vdr restarts. It spews out lots of "mpeg_decode_postinit() failure" and "Error while decoding video frame 0" errors, and also "insufficient thread locking around avcodec_open/close()" (I think recent versions of ffmpeg are much more picky about multiple threads in parallel: probably needs more mutex locks adding). I did find a patch on the softdevice-devel mailing list back in December (http://lists.berlios.de/pipermail/softdevice-devel/2009q4/003253.html) which sounded like it was a similar problem caused by a change to ffmpeg. That patch alters the timing between frames by using the variable repeat_pict provided by libavcodec. If I apply the patch, I get a seg fault because the parent structure hasn't been defined. I suspect further changes to ffmpeg since: it's a bit of a nightmare keeping up with changes there! My version of ffmpeg is current cvs but my vdr-1.7.0 build (with the same version of softdevice) runs fine built against it! I suspect I need to do a lot more digging here but before I do, I thought I'd check whether anyone has this working and if so, what version of ffmpef you're using. The softdevice project seems to have gone very quiet recently (why I'm posting here in the first instance!) which is a shame because it has "just worked" for me in the past with DirectFB output from a Matrox G450, with no extra layer of X required (this is a dedicated set-top-box affair). Cheers, Laz

xineliboutput UDP detach from stream
by Harald Overas 10 Aug '10

10 Aug '10

I have have witness the same behavior with screen blinking with xineliboutput (vdr-sxfe as remote client while connecting with TCP transport to the vdr-server) when changing the channels. I often get screen blinking when I change the channels to fast with my MCE remote (using the MCE remote arrows up and down for browsing through the channels). Using xine-lib-vdpau-1.2 (latest) and xineliboutput (latest) (vdr-sxfe 1.0.90-cvs (build with xine-lib 1.1.90, using xine-lib 1.1.90) Using this command string to connect: vdr-sxfe -fullscreen --width=1920 --height=1080 --tcp --audio=alsa --aspect=16:9 --lirc --video=vdpau --post tvtime:method=use_vo_driver --reconnect xvdr://${HOST}:${PORT} Thanks in advance, Harald

by Stephan Austermühle 08 Aug '10

08 Aug '10

Hi all, anybody else having problems to playback radio streams with VDR 1.7.15 and DVB-S as source? VDR messages in syslog look okay but neither recording nor playing works for me. I do not have any problems with TV (including HD). Best regards, Stephan
