If I switch to Livemode everything works nearly ok. Remember: If I use backgroundmode black, I cannot navigate back in the playlists and the first two seconds were skipped of every track . In livemode the first two seconds were skipped but nothing of the other tracks. This Problem did not exist with the previous firmware.

The lockup > always occurs when a new mp3 is just about to start. Which background mode does you use? If it's "image", try to use "black". There is still some bug in firmware which causes the stillpicture ioctl to look up. Thanks for the suggestion. So the problem is within the firmware it seems. I have been using the "image" option as the background to display the album art. Lets see what happens when I turn that off. Best Regards. ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr

[vdr] How to get sound with tvtime ?
Hi, I want to use tvtime with vdr and my Full Feature DVB-S. With “tvtime -d /dev/video0”, i have the video but not the sound. How can i obtain the sound with tvtime? If I plug my Loudspeakers to the DVB-S, I have a little shift between the sound and the image. Thank you. Guy ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr

Would you mind posting some of the new log lines which the last patch
added? It would be good to prove my assumptions ;-)
BTW: vdr-1.5.1 uses a further "developed" loop (in regard the the last
patch) which is much closer to what szap does. The relevant part of
dvbdevice.c looks like that:
while (1) {
if (ioctl(fd_frontend, FE_READ_STATUS, &Status) != -1)
return true;
if (errno != EINTR)
break;
}
return false;
Bye.

Just add --post-plugin upmix to the command line, e. g. ... --post vdr_audio --post upmix_mono --post upmix ... This is what the audio plugins do: - vdr_audio is used to select the left or the right channel of a stereo audio stream by copying the audio data from the left channel to the right or vice versa. In that way the stream has still two -- now identical -- channels. This one may be omitted if you do not need this functionality. - upmix_mono mixes a mono stream (single channel) into a "stereo" stream with two identical channels. This one may be omitted if you do not need this functionality. - upmix finally mixes a stereo stream into a 5.1 stream with 6 different channels. All plugins process the audio stream under certain conditions so there is no waste of CPU power and hence no need to remove or disable them in certain situations, e. g. when replaying 5.1 content. Keep in mind to select 5.1 as your speaker arrangement in xine's audio setup page. Bye. -- Dipl.-Inform.

[vdr] Wakeup On LAN
Hello, I'm trying to wakeup my Siemens Scaleo-T using WOL - but without success :-( The PC to wakeup: - Siemens Scaleo-T AMD64 with Onboard LAN (Tulip chip) - Linux 2.6.20 with ACPI enabled - Gentoo amd64 The router: - ASUS WL-500g Deluxe - OpenWrt White Russian - With X-Wrt Extensions RC6 - WOL-Software: wol What I've done: - BIOS: Wakeup controlled by BIOS and WOL enabled - Gentoo: echo -n PCI0 > /proc/acpi/wakeup ; halt - Router: wol -h PC-IP-Addr PC-MAC-Addr I've configured the router to start wol periodically. On the PC wireshark is now showing incoming UDP packets to the UDP port 4. The packet contains the ethernet frame, the IP header, the UDP header and the magic data (6x 0xff and 16x MAC-Addr). It seems all ok - but the PC will not be started. What's going wrong? Should I use some ACPI sleep mode? Is this supported by the DVB drivers? Is the Siemens PC not usable for WOL?
