[vdr] May it be possible to use a fullfeature cards as output device only ?

[Dieter Bloms]

Hi,

the tuner part of my fullfeatured card ist broken, so I want to buy a
nova card and use this fullfeatured card as output device only.
At the moment vdr tries to use this card also as receiver.
So may it be possible to tell vdr it should use this card only for
output ?

yes, if you set "EmergencyExit = 0" in the setup.conf file (or via osd
menu).

[vdr] get a segmentation fault when starting vdr (backtrace included)

[Dieter Bloms]

Hello,

I've compiled vdr on alpinelinux 2.5.0 and get a segfault during
start of vdr.
Even without plugins I get this segfault (I didn't apply any patch to
vdr sources).
Vdr was started with the command:

/usr/local/bin/vdr --config=/etc/vdr --epgfile=/tmp/epg.data --grab=/dev/shm 
--log=3.1 --mute --no-kbd --user=root --video=/remote/vdr/

I've made a backtrace with gdb:

my wife did it.
I've already moved this video outside from vdr directory, but then it
segfaults at the next video.
A second system based on opensuse runs fine, but I want to use alpine,
because it is a lightweight distribution based on uClibc.

I changed it this way:

--snip--
  32 bool tComponent::FromString(const char *s)
  33 {
  34   unsigned int Stream, Type;
  35   description = NULL;
  36   int n = sscanf(s, "%X %02X %7s %a[^\n]", &Stream, &Type, language, 
&description); // 7 = MAXLANGCODE2 - 1
  37   esyslog("dbloms: \"%X\" \"%02X\" \"%7s\" \"%a\"", Stream, Type, 
language, description);
  38 
  39   if (n != 4 || isempty(description)) {
  40  free(description);
  41  description = NULL;
  42  }
  43   stream = Stream;
  44   type = Type;
  45   return n >= 3;
  46 }
--snip--

but during compile I saw this message:

--snip--

And after start in the logfile

--snip--

I think %a in my esyslog call isn't correct, but it is used this way
with the sscanf call and when I changed it with %s I don't see any log
entry.

So how should the esyslog call look like ?

I get the following log entry:

Now I've the following code:

  29   return buffer;
  30 }

  33 {

  35   description = NULL;
  36   int n = sscanf(s, "%X %02X %7s %as[^\n]", &Stream, &Type, language, 
&description); // 7 = MAXLANGCODE2 - 1
  37   esyslog("dbloms: \"%X\" \"%02X\" \"%7s\" \"%s\"", Stream, Type, 
language, description);
  38 
  39   if (n != 4 || isempty(description)) {
  40  free(description);
  41  description = NULL;
  42  }
  43   stream = Stream;
  44   type = Type;

[vdr] powersaving with satip pluging

[Dieter Bloms]

Hello,

I've a vdrserver running with vdr 2.3.8 and satip plugin 2.3.1-GIT-e008ee0.
It works great with a minisatip server 0.7.15.
But it keeps the connection to the minisatip server open all the time,
so the dvb adapter and lnb consumes power every time. 

I added the parameter "--detach" to the satip plugin.
And now the connection to the minisatip will be closed when the satip
plugin goes in idle mode as expected.
But now, if a recording should started, nothing happens.
The satip plugin doesn't open a connection to my minisatipserver and I miss
the recordings.

My config looks like this:

--snip--
[vdr]
  --config=/etc/vdr
  --epgfile=/tmp/epg.data
  --grab=/dev/shm
  --log=2.1
  --mute
  --no-kbd
  --user=root
  --video=/remote/vdr
  -D-

[satip]
  --devices=1
  --detach
--snip--

and the setup.conf part of satip:

--snip--
satip.CICAM = 0 0
satip.DisabledFilters =
satip.DisabledSources =
satip.EnableCIExtension = 0
satip.EnableEITScan = 1
satip.OperatingMode = 3
satip.TransportMode = 0
--snip--

Can anybody see where I do the mistake ?

Regards

  Dieter

I've tried your patch and the new vdr-1.4.5-2 for some days now and

maybe you will give bitstreamout a try.

I don't know, whether it compiles against current vdr.

this works for all dvb cards with spdif output. You only have to use
current driver with current firmware.

you can get the AC3 stuff from the dvb card, not another soundcard on
your board.

Most cards (but not all revisions) have a J2 block, where you can get
the spdif signal (with 5V).

bitstreamout has nothing to to with the dvb firmware and as far as I can
see, it will not be continued.

I've the same problem with ARD, when I switch audio to dolby digital.
When I set audio to stereo, there are no problems.

Can you try to disable dolby digital ?

Re: [vdr] ERROR: video data stream broken on second dvb card , but szap works (include recording)

Hi,

with strace I can see, that vdr tries to open video0 and audio0, which
aren't there.
Do they have to exist for "nova" cards ?

I don't have a diseqc setup, I have a twin lnb and both dvb cards are
connected directly.

It worked in the past, ok many timeouts, but after reloading the driver
and restart of vdr it worked.

I was amazed that vdr can not tune to a channel and szap can do it
without reloading the driver !

Maybe they use differnt methods to switch the channels.

ok, now I have installed the default diseqc.conf and activate diseqc in
vdr setup menu.
After a shutdown (and turn off the computer for about 10 seconds) the
second card works, even with these two errors:

Either the power off has resolved the error or activating diseqc.
but now if I deactivate diseqc the cards work, too .

Very strange.

Thank you very much for your help, for the future I will activate
diseqc.

I will begin with A  to get a stables setup first, because it is not

no diseqc setup works stabel for me :(
Also the Full DiSEqC sequence from default diseqc.conf doesn't work
a few hours after reboot and sometime it doesn't work directly after
reboot.
But I can switch the channel with szap and get the TS stream from
/dev/dvb/adapter1/dvr0 every time, even vdr can't record I only stop vdr
and do not a reload of the driver.

I did some tests with szap:

o I can only get the TS stream with the default lnb type or -l UNIVERSAL
o if I use another lnb type like ENHANCED, I can switch, but don't get
  any data.
o The ioctls are the same if I use diseqc with vdr, but as I said
  before, I didn't get any data a few hours after reboot of the system,
  and sometime I didn't get any data directly after reboot.
o If I use szap, I can switch the channels and get the ts stream every
  time (via cat /dev/dvb/adapter1/dvr0 > /tmp/bla).
o the first status is 01 and it has no lock all others are 1f and it has
  a lock (as seen below).
o when I call szap the second time (with the same channel) the first
  status is 01 and then 1f, too.
o maybe vdr does have to wait a longer time ?

What lnb type vdr is using, when I enable diseqc in vdr menu ?
I can't configure any frequenz after activate diseqc.

Here the output from your patched szap:

I can reproduce following:

vdr can record from senders on V polarisation like sat1, prosieben ...
even without reloading the driver.
vdr can not record from any sender on H polarisation like ard, zdf ...
even with reloading the driver it doesn't work.
This explains, that I got some recording and some not.

Does anybody know what can be the different between H and V polarisation ?

my primary dvb card works fine on both of my Twin-LNB connectors.
I can switch the second card via szap and get a video stream via
"cat /dev/dvb/adapter1/dvr0 > /tmp/bla" on H and V channels.
VDR doesn't get data any data from H channels, but gets data from V
channels.
I will try to strace vdr and szap to get any difference, maybe they do
it in a different way.
