Re: [vdr] VDR timer + mplayer = VDR crash. Please fix!

You can use the mplayer plugin after a timer is started no problem. Correct me if I'm wrong but mplayer should never have to take control of the tuner in the first place since it's not required to play a media file. Same thing with externalplayer-plugin and MMS. When you play a movie with mplayer and a timer is triggered, VDR crashes. ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr

Like I said last time this topic came up: I somehow got rid off the problem. I don't exactly remember the last thread about this problem and I didn't keep the mails - but wasn't there someone who also got rid off this problem by updating mplayer to a current SVN version? I thought it had something to do with VDR's DVB settings and stuff but I also updated mplayer. Currently I'm using MPlayer dev-SVN-r22825-4.1.2 and VDR does not crash when a timer triggers (or stops) while using mplayer. Well, at least here. -- Chris ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr

Free booze to anyone who can fix this incredibly annoying problem once and for all!! This could be related to the fact that when mplayer-plugin forks mplayer from vdr, the /dev/dvb/adapter* file descriptors are copied as well and are not closed. Thanks for such a quick reply Anssi! Is that an easy thing to fix? Attached is a patch for mplayer plugin which closes file descriptors (except 0, 1, 2) when forking mplayer script. -- Anssi Hannula diff -Nurp -x '*~' mp3-0.9.15/player-mplayer.c mp3-0.9.15-c/player-mplayer.c --- mp3-0.9.15/player-mplayer.c 2006-09-19 21:17:50.0 +0300 +++ mp3-0.9.15-c/player-mplayer.c 2007-06-07 23:34:17.0 +0300 @@ -29,6 +29,7 @@ #include sys/ioctl.h #include sys/types.h #include sys/poll.h +#include sys/resource.h #include unistd.h #include signal.h #include wait.h @@ -395,6 +396,11 @@ bool cMPlayerPlayer::Fork(void) close(outpipe[1]); } + rlimit lim; + if(getrlimit(RLIMIT_NOFILE, lim) == 0) +for(int i = lim.rlim_max - 1; i 2; i--) + close(i); + char cmd[64+PATH_MAX*2], aid[20]; char *fname=Quote(file-FullPath()); if(MPlayerAid=0) snprintf(aid,sizeof(aid), AID %d,MPlayerAid); ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
