[vdr] lirc key reading to slow ? Buffer overflow ?
Hi !
i get these errors, once my remote is doing key repeats:
Dec 3 23:33:13 vdr vdr: [24629] ERROR: unparseable lirc command:
gy_Receiver-event-kbd#012b-Gyration_Gyration_RF_Technology_Receiver-event-kbd#01272
0 KEY_VOLUMEDOWN usb-Gyration_Gyration_RF_TechnoloKEY_VOLUMEDOWN Dec 3
23:34:14 vdr vdr: last message repeated 583 times
especially note the
usb-Gyration_Gyration_RF_TechnoloKEY_VOLUMEDOWN
and ...kbd#012b- (this should read usb-...)
is there anything forgot to reset ? A buffer to small ?
Just wrong how it is read ? In irw and xbmc there
seems no such issue, means the repeat just works.
i increased the buffers to:
private:
enum { LIRC_KEY_BUF = 500, LIRC_BUFFER_SIZE = 4096 };
which seems to make the error disappear, but its still incredible slow
(compared to other applications) in accept the keys. Can this be
improved ?

[vdr] Minor *.po patch
The gettext version I use automatically adds a Language field to the headers of the po-Files. It would be nice to have this field there in the first place, so here's a small patch that adds it.

[vdr] dvb devices on demand patch
Hi ! i just read up again on this: http://www.mail-archive.com/vdr@linuxtv.org/msg13224.html Actually i think this would be also a good starting for a) save some energy - if DVB devices are not opened all the time, the driver has the chance to put it into standby saving some heat, energy and lifetime of the cards b) have a beginning of dvb device hotplug - if dvb devices are discovered on demand, its a good chance at a later stage to also add and remove cards on the fly. There is sure some notification required from udev to vdr so it can keep internal reference of the how many devices are there. Not that i could help in doing this - being aware it might take a while until its finished - but i still thought to share my thoughts, that this addition is not only usefull for shared frontends, but also for general usage. Hope the work on this is continued and possibly accepted by Klaus after some review and as work in progress.

But what about performance/lag? And also how healthy is it to constantly put a device in and out of standby? b) have a beginning of dvb device hotplug - if dvb devices are discovered on demand, its a good chance at a later stage to also add and remove cards on the fly.

I can imagine a situation where you're already recording one or more programmes with your internal card, then realise you want to watch/record something else on a different channel and you forgot to plug your USB receiver back in after you took it away to use with your laptop... -- TH * http://www.realh.co.uk ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr

Is there anyone that would need/want this in the real world? In which world did you live the last months ;) ? Sorry, I couldn't insist. Our VDR-Distribution yaVDR is optimized for a short boot. With old fashioned PCI cards you can get down to 6 seconds boot time since grub, but if one of our user decides to buy another p. e. usb device, we have to delay the boot up to 30 seconds to allow the usb device to get ready. With device hotplugging there would be no need to wait for this device and the user would already see tv 30 seconds earlier. Believe me there are users that thinks this matters.

I'm a fan of short boot times. Are there that many users that are power cycling their pc's frequently? Of all the pc's I use be them Windows or Linux, work or personal, hardly any of them are rebooted. Really only my test boxes (which are intended) or in the event of a power loss or so due to very bad weather. Of course that's just my usage and everybody has their own. I just don't see that this is a situation that's even remotely common. I'm not for or against the idea. I just wonder if there's significant need to distract Klaus away from other things people have been needing/wanting for quite a long time. ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
