Hi!

To my shame, I have rather neglected the maintenance of the VDR and VDR plugin packages for Debian and e-tobi.net over the last 2 years. I am in the process of catching up. However, I would like to get rid of some plugins where nothing is happening upstream anymore. Which plugins do you consider indispensable and would like to see them continue in the official Debian and/or e-tobi.net Debian repositories?

BR,

Tobias

As Far As I Know w-scan2 is needed to tune DVB-T2

https://github.com/stefantalpalaru/w_scan2/

Another DVB-T2 compatible solution (which also supports DVB-T) is t2scan.

This is how I built and invoked it on my Raspberry Pi 2 (using Debian, or 2 different most recent versions of Raspberry OS):

git clone https://github.com/mighty-p/t2scan cd t2scan ./configure make -j$(nproc) ./t2scan -E -d|tee channels.conf

Before this, I had to copy the firmware blob for the Astrometa DVB-T2 adapter to /lib/firmware/dvb-demod-mn88473-01.fw and plug in the USB adapter. For some reason, that firmware is missing from Debian.

Without the firmware, the scan would fail with "no signal" on every channel.

The t2scan program is apparently using LANG or LC_CTYPE to guess the current country, which only works if the locale files have been built. The default (Germany) may be overridden with the -Y flag.

Having VDR running natively on android would be nice, but there's no v4l there. Did you try robotv with the livechannels app? It works fairly well, but it's not the native VDR OSD, and there's dropout from time to time.

Nice to hear that you are planning a new repository:

vdr-plugin-streamdev-client vdr-plugin-streamdev-server vdr-plugin-softhddevice vdr-plugin-rpihddevice vdr-plugin-vaapidevice

And is it really so far away, to have a vdr for Android-TV? I own a Sony 43X8309C. 6 Years old and only usable with a Firetv-Stick...

Thank you Tobias for your work!

I'm using VDR with:

vdr-plugin-epgsearch vdr-plugin-femon vdr-plugin-live vdr-plugin-skinelchi vdr-plugin-streamdev-client vdr-plugin-streamdev-server vdr-plugin-svdrposd vdr-plugin-tvguide vdr-plugin-vdrmanager vdr-plugin-xineliboutput

However, I would happily change the skin plugin because skinelchi is in use for >10 years already ;-) Only I have to find nicer skin working well on obsolete Full HD TV...

If you need help with any of my old plugins or patches, let me know.

Klaus just released 2.6.0. Any chance if we could get that version too? :-)

For me, git://projects.vdr-developer.org/vdr-plugin-rpihddevice.git would be a must-have feature.

Today I made an attempt of installing Debian Sid from the scratch on a new SD card, starting with https://wiki.debian.org/RaspberryPiImages and documenting the steps.

The non-obvious first steps (to enable system clock updates and make the system visible in the .local network) were as follows:

apt install systemd-timesyncd avahi-daemon timedatectl set-ntp on

Still on the TODO list are:

∙ vdr-plugin-rpihddevice

[snip]

For rpihddevice I'm not sure what to do - OMX and MMAL have been deprecated in Raspbian/bullseye, so it doesn't even build out of the box. And it doesn't look like a V4L2 version is being worked on.

Today, I was almost able to compile VDR 2.6.0 on Debian Sid with rpihddevice. First, the dependencies:

apt install build-essential git apt install pkg-config gettext apt install libfreetype6-dev libfontconfig1-dev libjpeg62-turbo-dev apt install libcap-dev libncurses5-dev apt install libavcodec-dev libavformat-dev

Then, as a normal user, execute the following:

git clone http://git.tvdr.de/vdr.git git clone git://projects.vdr-developer.org/vdr-plugin-rpihddevice.git ln -s ../../../vdr-plugin-rpihddevice vdr/PLUGINS/src/rpihddevice make -C vdr -j$(nproc)

The build failed due to a missing header:

ilclient.c:50:10: fatal error: interface/vcos/vcos.h: No such file or directory

There are very few Raspberry specific packages in Debian. libbcm2835-dev is covering something else.

As far as I can tell, the file is provided by the Raspberry OS or Ubuntu package libraspberrypi-dev in /opt/vc/include or /usr/include, respectively. That package appears to be missing from Debian, even the non-free section.

Tobias, would it be possible to add these packages to Debian Sid?

https://github.com/raspberrypi/userland

I am not familiar with this, but I see that something in interface/vcos was changed only 2 months ago. Most of the files are years old, but so is my Raspberry Pi 2. I did not notice any deprecation message, but I suppose that you were referring to some other interface being deprecated.

The Ubuntu package could serve as a starting point:

https://packages.ubuntu.com/source/impish/raspberrypi-userland

My aim is to document the process of creating a minimal VDR installation on a Raspberry Pi. It would be great if all code were available out of the box.

For me, the "killer feature" would be custom configuration for making VDR automatically start up when the USB DVB adapter is plugged in. An unplugged adapter cannot waste electricity or let a lighting bolt kill the server.

sudo make -C vdr install LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/vc/lib:/opt/vc/lib/plugins vdr -Prpihddevice

It failed due to an unresolved symbol:

vdr: /opt/vc/lib/libEGL.so: undefined symbol: glPointSizePointerOES

A similar problem (with no solution yet) has been reported in https://github.com/malcolmstill/cl-egl/issues/1

I might next try a recent Raspberry OS.

I tried two versions of it. The most recent one indeed is not only missing the OMX interface, but there also is no source package available for its version of raspberry-userland.

Raspberry OS Legacy (based on Debian 10 and a 5.10 kernel) worked almost out of the box, and it had /opt/vc and the development tools preinstalled.

https://www.raspberrypi.com/software/operating-systems/#raspberry-pi-os-lega...

In the rpihddevice/Makefile I additionally had to replace -lGLESv2 -lEGL with -lbrcmGLESv2 -lbrcmEGL. In fact, if -lGLESv2 -lEGL of the wrong kind were available, you could end up with no picture or OSD. This was actually reported on vdr-portal.de already in 2017. :-o

Maybe using the Broadcom libraries would also have fixed the above issue when using Debian and self-built rasberry-userland; I am yet to try that.

I have submitted the patches to the author of rpihddevice, hoping to see them in the repository soon.

Marko
