Re: [vdr] VDR consumes about 60% CPU load

Dear Martin,

do you mean 1.7.28?

 I also deactivated the epgsearch plugin which I am normally using for the
 following tests.
 The PC has a Dual Core CPU with 2 x 1,8GHz and 2GB RAM.

 I attached the syslog lines of the last VDR start-up.
 To my shame, I can't say when it started to use so much CPU. I set up MRTG 
 several
 month ago, but it looks like I didn't check its results afterwards since the
 actual CPU graph is very strange (25% load the last 5 hours and also now,
 nevertheless top says about 60-70% for VDR).

[…]

 This shows half user / half system load. Pretty strange.

I guess you need to check where VDR spends its time. You can use for
example OProfile for that.


Thanks,

Paul

Has the machine been rebooted since the leap-second on July 1? My VDR 
machine began to use much more CPU on that date (load average  6 when 
recording!) but a reboot fixed it.

[vdr] streamdev: protocol violation

From some time I have such messages in user.log:

(VTP) from 127.0.0.1:49931


What does it mean?

I use VDR version 1.7.28 and vdr-plugin-streamdev-server 0.6.0-2

Re: [vdr] [ANNOUNCE] VDR developer version 1.7.28

 VDR developer version 1.7.28 is now available at

LCARS is the new default skin of VDR. It requires at least a 4bpp (16 
 color) full
screen OSD, but you can still operate it if your OSD can handle only fewer 
 colors
(in which case you may want to switch to the ST:TNG or Classic VDR 
 skin).

I do not know if that is related,
but I noticed that the LCARS skin
sometimes fails to show the recording
name in the progress display (the one
thet shows up when you press OK
during playback).

This has already been reported (I assume by someone on vdr-portal.de, because I

I don't think this is related, because these are totally different code areas.
Is this problem reproducible?

Thank you very much. After I rebooted my server, VDR consumes at
maximum 2.0% CPU during recording, so it looks like this was really
the problem.

As I had no real crash on 1. July I thought there is no problem (I
thought, either crash or no problem at all... x_x)
