I had the same problem. It arose for me because HAVE_XCOMPOSITE was not 
being defined in features.h by the configure script. Adding the line

#define HAVE_XCOMPOSITE 1

to features.h (along with the combination of other libraries configure had 
found) meant that all of the EXIT calls were removed by the preprocessor 
due to #ifdefs.

Not the best of methods but it let me compile and it seems to work OK so 
far in my (very brief) tests. It may or may not work for you!

Cheers,

Did you ever upload some photos of how you fitted your Accelero S1?

To follow up on this thread... (Most of this is found easily in README 
files, etc., but I find it useful to see the experience of others!)

Following some of the comments on here, I have just obtained a Zotac 
IONITX-T along with a 32 GB SSD to build an HD capable vdr client. This 
board has an Intel Atom D525 CPU which is dual core but appears as 4 cores 
and Nvidia Ion graphics.

It is also a fanless board but (for paranoia's sake while I'm testing 
things!) I've also fitted a 40-mm case fan. The case I've bought is an 
M350 from mini-itx.com (http://www.mini-itx.com/store/?c=54). This has a 
nicer appearance than the pictures make it seem! The ultimate plan is to 
hang it off the VESA mounting holes on the back of my tele'.

On the new client, I have installed a very basic Debian system. I then 
build CVS (or git) ffmpeg, xine-lib, xine-ui (for testing things), and 
vdr-1.7.21, along with the CVS xineliboutput plugin.

My main vdr box is running vdr-1.7.21 along with quite a few plugins. I 
replaced my current primary device (softdevice) with "-P'xineliboutput --
local=none --remote=37890'" and restarted vdr.

I then ran vdr-sxfe on the client box and I had vdr output on the attached 
monitor (I'm jsut about to nip out to buy an HDMI cable! I assume there 
was sound too but didn't check this!)

The performance with VDPAU is pretty impressive. top shows vdr using about 
3% CPU for SD material and this increases to about 7% for HD channels. For 
comparison, my current vdr setup is a 2.66 GHz Pentium 4 with a Matrox 
G450 for output and this sually hovers around 30% CPU for SD material.

I have yet to fiddle with most of the settings but if I use Hardware 
blending for the OSD it is amazingly crisp. However, the video does 
stutter slightly when the OSD changes (moving the "cursor" line down, for 
example) but that's probably liveable with!

At present, I am running all plugins on the server and my remote is still 
attached to the server.

I presume that I should really build / buy another remote receiver, hang 
it off the client, and use the --lirc argument to vdr-sxfe to forward lirc 
commands to the server.

I also suspect that I can run "full" vdr on the client to allow me to use 
some plugins on there?! Not looked into that yet. I suspect I can probably 
just use vdr-sxfe as a basic frontend, with lirc forwarding so I can 
"hide" the server somewhere else...

Cheers,

Laz

Re: [vdr] reencode/transcode to(!) vdr

2011-10-28 Thread Lars Bläser
hi,

beside this it's just a remuxer, not a transcoder
you will need something like ffmpeg to transcode and if the resulting ts
is not properly muxed for vdr you can remux it with that tool

maybe a package like ripbot264 fits better to the topic

http://www.videohelp.com/tools/RipBot264
(tsMuxeR is part of that package)
or have look at this

Hi,

You could use ffmpeg to convert video files into MPEG-TS Format.
A full-featured-DVB-Card support PAL like 704×576 (4cif) 

#> ffmpeg -i myvideo.mp4 -f mpegts -vcodec mpeg2video -aspect 16:9 \
-sameq -s 4cif -acodec mp2 -ar 48000 -ab 192k 1.ts

Cu,
Andreas

[vdr] Launching vdr + xineliboutput at startup

2011-10-28 Thread Damien Bally

Hello

I'm making some kind of embedded vdr distribution based on busybox and 
minimal X11, the problem is I have no idea of how I can launch vdr and 
xineliboutput at startup.


For now, I'm doing manually :
# xinit /usr/bin/rxvt
then type : # vdr -Pxineliboutput

I tried to type directly : # xinit /usr/local/bin/vdr -Pxineliboutput
but vdr just displays its logo, with no error in /var/log/messages though.

I can still launch vdr with : # xinit /usr/bin/rxvt -e 
/usr/local/bin/vdr -Pxineliboutput but it's not very elegant.


What's the trick ?

Thanks

Damien

You don't need to start vdr inside X , you start vdr in the background
(whatever your init system is). With X you need to start vdr-sxfe .

Simple way:
http://old.fluxbox.org/docbook/en/html/app-setup.html

And if you want to "autologin" at start of machine, google ' 
*/etc/inittab*autologin X'.


Catch is .xsession .xinitrc and /etc/inittab
