[PATCH] GOTOXX patch for vdr-1.7.22
by Ales Jurik 11 Jan '12

11 Jan '12

Hi all, here is patch for using motor with vdr-1.7.22. As the diseqc subsystem changed quite a lot in 1.7.22 please report any problem. I'm using/testing it together with vtuner devices (NessieDVB) and cascade of diseqc switches: 1. DVB device: vtuner(PC) <-> LAN <-> NessieDVB <-> motor <-> uncomm.switch <-> comm. switch) 2. DVB device: vtuner(PC) <-> LAN <-> NessieDVB <-> uncomm.switch <-> comm. switch) I'm using it together with VDR capability of dedicated and undedicated sources to some cards and it works for me without problems. I do not have possibility to test it together with real DVB cards inside PC, so any remarks are welcomed. My diseqc.conf looks like: # ONLY SWITCHES 1 2: S19.2E 11700 V 9750 t v W30 [E0 10 39 F0] W30 [E0 10 38 F0] W30 t S19.2E 99999 V 10600 t v W30 [E0 10 39 F0] W30 [E0 10 38 F1] W30 T S19.2E 11700 H 9750 t V W30 [E0 10 39 F0] W30 [E0 10 38 F2] W30 t S19.2E 99999 H 10600 t V W30 [E0 10 39 F0] W30 [E0 10 38 F3] W30 T S13.0E 11700 V 9750 t v W30 [E0 10 39 F0] W30 [E0 10 38 F4] W30 t S13.0E 99999 V 10600 t v W30 [E0 10 39 F0] W30 [E0 10 38 F5] W30 T S13.0E 11700 H 9750 t V W30 [E0 10 39 F0] W30 [E0 10 38 F6] W30 t S13.0E 99999 H 10600 t V W30 [E0 10 39 F0] W30 [E0 10 38 F7] W30 T .... # MOTOR + SWITCHES 1: S1.0W 11700 V 9750 t V G [E0 10 39 F1] v W30 [E0 10 38 FC] W30 v t S1.0W 99999 V 10600 t V G [E0 10 39 F1] v W30 [E0 10 38 FD] W30 v T S1.0W 11700 H 9750 t V G [E0 10 39 F1] V W30 [E0 10 38 FE] W30 V t S1.0W 99999 H 10600 t V G [E0 10 39 F1] V W30 [E0 10 38 FF] W30 V T S9.0E 11700 V 9750 t V G [E0 10 39 F1] v W30 [E0 10 38 FC] W30 v t S9.0E 99999 V 10600 t V G [E0 10 39 F1] v W30 [E0 10 38 FD] W30 v T S9.0E 11700 H 9750 t V G [E0 10 39 F1] V W30 [E0 10 38 FE] W30 V t S9.0E 99999 H 10600 t V G [E0 10 39 F1] V W30 [E0 10 38 FF] W30 V T ....

[PATCH v2] multi-frontend-support for vdr 1.7.21
by L. Hanisch 08 Jan '12

08 Jan '12

Hi, Here's version 2 of my multi-frontend-patch. It's still "dirty", since it changes the constructor of cDvbDevice which will break compilation of some plugins. But I think it might be necessary to look at the relevant plugins since they might need to react on frontend changes. I haven't tested any of those plugins but will have a look at some that I'm using. Maybe there have to be some virtual functions like "BeforeFrontendSwitch" and "AfterFrontendSwitch" so the plugins are even able to know about it. Assumption for this patch: All frontends within one adapter have to be used mutually exclusive. All cards I know behave in this way. If there are cards with multiple frontends which can be used simultaneously I'd like to hear about it. Whenever the dvb-api-changes are upstream (the ENUM_DELSYS thingy) I think my patch can easily be converted to use that. I'm still working on this patch, it's not finished yet... :-) Have fun, Lars.

problems with playback and plugins with vdr-1.7.22
by René 08 Jan '12

08 Jan '12

Hi all, I finally managed to upgrade my vdr-1.6.x to vdr-1.7.22 and get the LiveBuffer patch compiled in Gentoo. There was however some problems i bumped into. The first issue i have is when starting vdr. I get the following plugins to fail during startup: ERROR: loading plugin libvdr-epgsearch.so.1.7.22: undefined symbol: _ZN6cTimerC1EbbP8cChannel ERROR: loading plugin libvdr-skinenigmang.so.1.7.22: undefined symbol: _ZN6cTimerC1EbbP8cChannel ERROR: loading plugin libvdr-text2skin.so.1.7.22: undefined symbol: _ZN6cTimerC1EbbP8cChannel ERROR: loading plugin libvdr-burn.so.1.7.22: undefined symbol: _ZN8vdr_burn13chain_archiveC1ERNS_3jobE ERROR: loading plugin libvdr-streamdev-server.so.1.7.22: undefined symbol: _ZN6cTimerC1EbbP8cChannel I have compiled vdr, and after this i recompiled all plugins without any errors. The use-flags that are active are these: cutterlimit ddepgentry hardlinkcutter lircsettings mainmenuhooks pinplugin timerinfo wareagleicon yaepg The same use-flags worked fine with vdr 1.6.x LiveBuffer for vdr-1.7.22 again failed with these use-flags: dvlvidprefer liemikuutio jumpplay setup ttxtsubs Is there anything that i forgot to enable/disable in my setup? Then i got an other problem. When watching a recording, and i fastforward of rewind the program, i get to a situation that the "timecounter" get's stuck to the frame i start from. The film moves, but when i hit play, i end up back to the frame from where i started to rewind/fastforwad. The only way to fix this is to jump with the yellow/green buttons. AFter this i can rewind/fastforwad normally. This again works for a while, but again if it fails to stop to the place i rewind to, i have to "reset" the rewind-issue with the yellow/green buttons... Is this a known bug in vdr, or is it something that i have messed up in my setup? Regards, René

I was under impression that this is already fixed in xineliboutput 10.12.2011 or newer. BR, -- rofa

Hi, I try to compile vdr for openwrt (r29611) but I get the following errors tools.c: In function 'char* ReadLink(const char*)': tools.c:514: error: 'canonicalize_file_name' was not declared in this scope tools.c: In member function 'int cUnbufferedFile::Open(const more info in attached file. I had already successfully compiled (vdr-1.7.22) in a later version of openwrt (r27128) I just wish find out where the error (like missing option in uclibc or library...?) Thanks in advance.

Crystalhd support and help
by Lists 04 Jan '12

04 Jan '12

Hi all, I have a main frontend box running yaVDR 1.7.21 vdr and I have a version 1 AppleTV with a broadcom crystalhd module installed. I'm running Ubuntu and have loaded from source the crystalhd kernel module and the libraries. I have xbmc-pvr branch from yaVDR running on the appletv and it works most of the time but cannot keep up with 1080 most of the time (can for 720p). Does anyone know if this branch has crystalhd support and how do I know if its using it? Second, I would prefer to use vdr-xineliboutput and have installed vdr-sxfe and vdr-fbfe. I don't need, nor want all the overhead of xbmc. I'm thinking if I can one of these to work then it would be perfect - I could use the vdr OSD, etc. However, I can't find a video module that will work properly. vdr-sxfe shows me: Available video drivers: vdpau aadxr3 dxr3 xv vaapi raw opengl xshm caca aa none xxmc sdl vidixfb vidix fb xvmc Available audio drivers: pulseaudio alsa oss jack none file I understand to 'use' crystalhd you have to invoke the vaapi video driver? Is this correct? When I try it, however, it says libva: libva version 0.31.1 Xlib: extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":0". libva: va_getDriverName() returns 0 libva: Trying to open /usr/lib/dri/nvidia_drv_video.so libva: va_openDriver() returns -1 How can I get around this or is it possible with my setup? Anyone got this going? Thanks for any help. Norm

Rotor / Rotor-NG not working with latest VDR
by Morfsta 03 Jan '12

03 Jan '12

Hi, I have just upgraded my VDR system to yavdr 0.4.0 which uses VDR 1.7.21 and I notice that the Rotor plugin and my own Rotor-ng plugin no longer drive the rotor using any of the functions in the menu. Is anyone else seeing this too? I think that this could be because of recent changes to disecq handling code within VDR as part of the Unicable update. Klaus could you point me in the direction of what might have changed such that these plugins no longer work and I will do my best to implement a fix. Thanks very much for your help, Regards, Morfsta

Renaming of all *.c files in *.cpp or equivalent
by Denis Loh 02 Jan '12

02 Jan '12

Hi, I have a big wish for future development: Please rename all c++ files with *.c extensions into *.cpp or equivalent. Many IDEs may cope with *.c and treat them as c++ files. However, if not, you must force the IDE to do that, which is sometimes hard work to do. I think it is lesser work to rename them and edit the makefile to work with cpp for instance. I am using cpp as default extension for c++ files for long time now. What do you think about that? Denis
