Re: [vdr] [PATCH] Device power saving feature
Thanks - I built it and and have had it running for about 24 hours: A couple of observations: I'm seeing this about every 30 - 60 mins as expected, but the timeout seems to be short - not the PowerdownTimeoutM (I assume minutes?) set at 15 in the config file May 30 08:51:02 ha-server vdr: [2296] dvb tuner: power-up - opening frontend 1/0 May 30 08:51:46 ha-server vdr: [2296] dvb tuner: power-down - closing frontend 1/0 So during the start of recordings and other programme changes, I see quite a lot of activity - e.g May 29 15:32:32 ha-server vdr: [2296] dvb tuner: power-up - opening frontend 1/0 May 29 15:32:36 ha-server vdr: [2306] channel 41 (Channel 4 HD) event Sun 29.05.2016 15:25-16:30 (VPS: 29.05. 15:25) 'Location, Location, Location' status 4 May 29 15:32:37 ha-server vdr: [2306] channel 4 (BBC TWO HD) event Sun 29.05.2016 15:30-18:00 (VPS: 29.05. 15:30) 'Gymnastics' status 4 May 29 15:33:17 ha-server vdr: [2296] dvb tuner: power-down - closing frontend 1/0 May 29 15:33:38 ha-server vdr: [2296] dvb tuner: power-up - opening frontend 1/0 May 29 15:33:41 ha-server vdr: [2306] channel 45 (Film4) event Sun 29.05.2016 15:05-16:50 (VPS: 29.05. 15:05) 'Catch That Kid' status 4 May 29 15:33:42 ha-server vdr: [2306] channel 40 (Channel 4) event Sun 29.05.2016 15:25-16:30 (VPS: 29.05. 15:25) 'Location, Location, Location' status 4 May 29 15:34:23 ha-server vdr: [2296] dvb tuner: power-down - closing frontend 1/0 Start of (VPS) recording: May 29 19:50:07 ha-server vdr: [2296] timer 2 (3 2000-2100 VPS 'Top Gear~2016.05.29-20:00-Sun') entered VPS margin May 29 19:50:07 ha-server vdr: [2296] dvb tuner: power-up - opening frontend 0/0 May 29 19:50:08 ha-server vdr: [2303] channel 3 (BBC TWO) event Sun 29.05.2016 19:00-20:00 (VPS: 29.05. 19:00) 'Rugby Union' status 4 May 29 19:50:09 ha-server vdr: [2303] channel 7 (BBC NEWS) event Sun 29.05.2016 19:45-20:00 (VPS: 29.05. 19:45) 'Meet The Author' status 4 May 29 19:50:46 ha-server vdr: [2296] dvb tuner: power-down - closing frontend 0/0 May 29 19:50:51 ha-server vdr: [2296] dvb tuner: power-up - opening frontend 0/0 May 29 19:51:30 ha-server vdr: [2296] dvb tuner: power-down - closing frontend 0/0 May 29 19:51:35 ha-server vdr: [2296] dvb tuner: power-up - opening frontend 0/0 May 29 19:52:14 ha-server vdr: [2296] dvb tuner: power-down - closing frontend 0/0 May 29 19:52:19 ha-server vdr: [2296] dvb tuner: power-up - opening frontend 0/0 May 29 19:52:58 ha-server vdr: [2296] dvb tuner: power-down - closing frontend 0/0 May 29 19:53:03 ha-server vdr: [2296] dvb tuner: power-up - opening frontend 0/0 May 29 19:53:42 ha-server vdr: [2296] dvb tuner: power-down - closing frontend 0/0 May 29 19:53:47 ha-server vdr: [2296] dvb tuner: power-up - opening frontend 0/0 May 29 19:54:26 ha-server vdr: [2296] dvb tuner: power-down - closing frontend 0/0 May 29 19:54:31 ha-server vdr: [2296] dvb tuner: power-up - opening frontend 0/0 May 29 19:55:10 ha-server vdr: [2296] dvb tuner: power-down - closing frontend 0/0 May 29 19:55:15 ha-server vdr: [2296] dvb tuner: power-up - opening frontend 0/0 May 29 19:55:54 ha-server vdr: [2296] dvb tuner: power-down - closing frontend 0/0 May 29 19:55:59 ha-server vdr: [2296] dvb tuner: power-up - opening frontend 0/0 May 29 19:56:38 ha-server vdr: [2296] dvb tuner: power-down - closing frontend 0/0 May 29 19:56:43 ha-server vdr: [2296] dvb tuner: power-up - opening frontend 0/0 May 29 19:57:22 ha-server vdr: [2296] dvb tuner: power-down - closing frontend 0/0 May 29 19:57:27 ha-server vdr: [2296] dvb tuner: power-up - opening frontend 0/0 May 29 19:58:06 ha-server vdr: [2296] dvb tuner: power-down - closing frontend 0/0 May 29 19:58:11 ha-server vdr: [2296] dvb tuner: power-up - opening frontend 0/0 May 29 19:58:50 ha-server vdr: [2296] dvb tuner: power-down - closing frontend 0/0 May 29 19:58:55 ha-server vdr: [2296] dvb tuner: power-up - opening frontend 0/0 May 29 19:59:10 ha-server vdr: [2306] channel 61 (Channel 5 HD) event Sun 29.05.2016 20:00-21:00 (VPS: 29.05. 20:00) 'Secrets of Egypt' status 4 May 29 19:59:11 ha-server vdr: [2296] timer 1 (61 1900-2000 VPS 'Cricket on 5~England v Sri Lanka: Second Test Day Thr') stop I haven't had a chance to take the server down to insert the power monitor yet, but will do so at convenient time in the next few days Thanks Richard On 27/05/2016 14:51, glenvt18 wrote: > Yes, sure.

Re: [vdr] [PATCH] Device power saving feature
Could you attach (or, better, upload to pastebin.com) the whole log
file. Are you running vdr with --log=3? I need to see 'idle timer' debug
messages and some other debug stuff. Could you also apply this change
diff --git a/eitscan.c b/eitscan.c
index 3899e00..b1c8c13 100644
--- a/eitscan.c
+++ b/eitscan.c
@@ -159,7 +159,7 @@ void cEITScanner::Process(void)
Skins.Message(mtInfo, tr("Starting
EPG scan"));
}
}
- //dsyslog("EIT scan: device %d source
%-8s tp %5d", Device->DeviceNumber() + 1,
*cSource::ToString(Channel->Source()), Channel->Transponder());
+ dsyslog("EIT scan: device %d source
%-8s tp %5d", Device->DeviceNumber() + 1,
*cSource::ToString(Channel->Source()), Channel->Transponder());
if (lastActivity == 0)
// forced scan - set idle timer for
each channel switch;
// this prevents powering down while
scanning a transponder

Thanks for testing.
Best,
Sergey Chernyavskiy.

[vdr] "TS packets to determine frame type"
Hi Klaus, I'm 99% of the way to finishing my H264 ffmpeg transcoding script, I'm just getting 2 of these warnings when reindexing transcoded files May 30 21:08:09 ha-server vdr: [31785] WARNING: required 5 video TS packets to determine frame type May 30 21:08:09 ha-server vdr: [31785] WARNING: required 5 video TS packets to determine frame type Sometimes the number is 4. Fortunately not over 6 yet. Is this a functional problem ? (files play in everything I need them to). I reduced the I-frame gap which also improves seeking performance, but that's not the issue. Looking at the code I'm not quite sure what it's looking for - can you help? I may be able to adjust codec / muxer to avoid warnings Thanks Richard ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
