Well... if the patch fixes those problems...

My first attempt was less intrusive by specially marking live related
receivers and handling them different on device search, but I decided to
go the more complex way to solve the search-new-before-disconnect
conflict generally. Seems it has a first use already. :)

Were they old black & white films by any chance? I've noticed sync
problems on those and they could well have been ones I recorded from one
of the C4 channels. But I usually record them from satellite rather than
Freeview.

Yes I saw that startup failed if xrender was available, but hud was
not in use, but I've got the latest CVS updates, and it still doesn't
work.

hi,
Are you using the hud osd?
If not, try the latest snapshot from cvs.
Last commit says:

[vdr] xineliboutput problem on new fedora 13 install

2010-07-19 Thread Torgeir Veimo
Am getting this error when running with local sxfe frontend.
Strangely, using vdr-sxfe works, it's only the local frontend that
wont start;

Can there be any setting in the xine config_xineliboutput file that
causes the local frontend to fail vdpau initialisation?

Probably. (Would be nice if you – and others – would Cc xine-lib patches to
xine-devel, or mention them in #xine.)

Anyway, I've (sometimes) seen sync problems with Channel 4 channels on
Freeview, though I rarely watch those channels; it's possible that both cause
and fix are the same. I've committed the patch locally (for now).

[vdr] [Announce] vdr-streamdev-0.5.0 / 0.4.0

2010-07-19 Thread Frank Schmirler
Hi there,

I finally published new streamdev releases on 
http://streamdev.vdr-developer.org.

Streamdev-0.4.0 is the final release for VDR 1.4.x. There won't be any more
updates. Use streamdev-0.5.0 for recent VDRs.

IMPORTANT: Please follow the upgrade instructions from the plugin's README
file. When updating to streamdev-0.5.0, the following changes are necessary
(even if you have been running streamdev-0.5.0pre from CVS before):

* Streamdev-server's plugin config directory is now
$VDRCONFDIR/plugins/streamdev-server/. Streamdev-server expects the file
streamdevhosts.conf in this directory. It is also the default location of the
externremux.sh script.

* The externremux script is now responsible for emitting all HTTP response
headers. Make sure you send out at least the Content-type header and a blank
line to terminate the header block. I encourage you to try the new
externremux.sh script which ships with the streamdev sources. It fixes several
problems with script termination from earlier releases and allows you to
change several remux parameters on the fly by specifying URL parameters. The
URL path to access externremux changed from EXTERN to EXT.

Check the HISTORY for a complete changelog. Here's a brief overview of the
most important new features in 0.5.0:
- HTTP authentication
- CGI like interface and URL parameters for externremux.sh
- rewrite of externremux.sh
- Multicast streaming server option

Thanks to all contributors and sorry for the long time it took to publish this
new release. I'll try to release more often now, but don't take my word for it.

Frank

Good shot. Streamdev suffers from a similar problem and would benefit from
this patch, too. If a streamdev-client prepars to switch channels, the current
stream blocks a device which will also become available a little later. At the
moment streamdev temporarily detaches the client's receiver if no other device
is able to do the job anyway. With the volatile flag this should no longer be
necessary.

Cheers,
Frank
