[vdr] [ANNOUNCE] VDR maintenance patch 1.4.4-3
VDR maintenance patch 1.4.4-3 is now available at ftp://ftp.cadsoft.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-1.4.4-3.diff This is a 'diff' against version 1.4.4-2 (which is the official version 1.4.4, patched with ftp://ftp.cadsoft.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-1.4.4-1.diff and ftp://ftp.cadsoft.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-1.4.4-2.diff). Small fixes to the officially released VDR versions will be first made available as "maintenance patches" in the Developer directory, so that they can be reviewed and tested before a new official release is published. So please apply the above patch and report whether it works (or if it causes any new problems). The changes since version 1.4.4-2: - Fixed a possible segfault if VDR gets terminated while a message is displayed (thanks to Udo Richter). - Fixed the INSTALL section on retrying shutdown later (reported by Udo Richter). - When entering text via the numeric keys, the characters are now checked against the allowed characters (thanks to Frank Schmirler). - Added a missing break statement in cCiHandler::OpenSession().

As you can see here: http://www.gnulinux.dk/arj/?p=88 MMS (www.mymediasystem.com) is already running on a PS3, so at least a vdr-client (frontend) should easily be possible ;) Lg Roman ___ Telefonate ohne weitere Kosten vom PC zum PC: http://messenger.yahoo.de ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr

And that vdr cope with device plug/unplug. Unfortunately HAL doesn't seem to support DVB devices. Nor is there a generic way to find a device's /dev node AFAICT; it can only provide that information for devices with a class it knows about. If there's a way to get HAL uids based on /dev node and vice-versa, eg through udev, HAL might work though. -- TH * http://www.realh.co.uk ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
[vdr] mplayer plugin -> no sound on vdr-1.4.4 ?
Dear all, does anyone else observer that the mplayer plugin does no longer give sound output with vdr 1.4.4 ? Could it be that the sound device is somehow still locked/occupied by vdr ? I am using the latest vdr-mp3/mplayer (0.9.15) and it used to work with 1.4.1 ... so what changed ? Soeren ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
Re: [vdr] mplayer plugin -> no sound on vdr-1.4.4 ?
Works fine here. I'd suggest you double-check your settings and make sure something didn't get messed up somewhere.

At least (for PAL): 720x576x4x25 = about 40MB/s (*) 1920x1080x4x25 = about 200MB/s And that's taking aside ANY of the other processing. Decoding, IDCT, YUV->RGB transformation and so on. Also taking aside the total bandwith killer, when you have to scale the material. AFAICT the vector cores COULD(*2) help you with the first parts, but the rest has to be done by the 3(,?)Ghz RISC PPC-CPU and shoveling that much data back and forth may be a bit much, without any acceleration. But on the other side the PS3 systems is supposed to have an impressing memory-bandwith, which could rescue the day. So unless someone tries there is no way to be sure, but for the time beeing i'm sceptical. IOW: - SDTV maybe - HDTV no way without acceleration *: x4 isn't a typo. Most systems use 32 bit per color. 24 bit "packed" format isn't used anymore AFAIK. *2: If you have software that can use the SPUs, but unless someone writes a Decoder-Library with SPU support you can only use the Main-CPU. Bis denn Most people AFAICT use vdr for sdtv and while HDTV may or may not be out of the question due to bandwidth sdtv definitely isn't. In fact I have linux on my xbox which has much less bandwidth than even the ps2 and most distros for that have a dvd player. The thing with the XBOX is that it pretty much has a standard PC with a standard Geforce 3.5 (AFAIR it is something between the 3 and the 4). So it should have hardware acceleration, which makes it a quite good platform for a video player, although i wouldn't buy one myself. The xbox does have the hardware but (like the PS3) has no accelerated drivers to use it. Video access is done through the framebuffer but this is more than enough for dvd playback which is the same resolution as sdtv. I am actually looking into a building a working dtv rig for the (original) xbox but am much more limited by the "mere" 60mb (64mb-4mb for the framebuffer) of memory and others have made mythtv clients for it. As someone else pointed out though a PS3 for linux doesn't make much sense unless you already want a PS3. Any applications it runs will, due to the 88mb ram, probably *feel* slower than a 1-2ghz pc with 128mb+ of ram running an quivalent distro even without graphics accelleration. If i'm not mistaken you mixed it with the memory that the Wii has. The PS3 and the XBox360 have 512MB total. And i'm quite sure that one of them was a split-memory-architecture (256MB/256MB) and the other one has a unified-memory-architecture. So the PS3 should have something around 240MB or 500MB of available memory. Yep, my bad. ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr

Video access is done through the framebuffer but this is more than enough for dvd playback which is the same resolution as sdtv. XBox has accelerated video driver in DirectFB (video overlay with YUV->RGB conversion and scaling). Decoding 720x576 mpeg2 with xine-lib uses ~20% of CPU power, another 10% is used to copy data around. > I am actually looking into a building a working dtv rig for the > (original) xbox but am much more limited by the "mere" 60mb (64mb-4mb > for the framebuffer) of memory Memory is just enough for simple DirectFB player, even with no swap (I use xineliboutput vdr-fbfe on diskless XBox). But for VDR and software player RAM is definetely too small. Anyway, installing VDR to XBox does not make much sense as one can't attach DVB cards to XBox, so using separate server for cards (and VDR) is required. - Petri ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
