Re: [vdr] vdr-xine breakage with Freeview HD
I demand that Daniel Harris may or may not have written... I had lots of problems specifically with BBC freeview HD using vdr-xine-plugin. I use debian wheezy with the e-tobi source. I had a feeling it had something to do with the deinterlacing plugin but i could never get it to work however i have recently changed the deinterlacing plugin to bob in the ~/.xine/config-xineliboutput (or something like that) and every thing has worked perfectly ever since. Well... reporting on http://bugs.xine-project.org/ when it fails will help a lot with fixing these things. You'll need to be able to show how to cause it and/or provide a backtrace (and, 99.999% of the time, you will need a debuggable build for that; also best to be using xine-lib-1.2 hg). I've recently fixed one deinterlacing-related segfault which would occur at the end of an HD recording...

Re: [vdr] compiling the xine-1.2 with external ffmpeg
I demand that Gerald Dachs may or may not have written... Does anyone use checkinstall instead of make install in order to build a xine-lib debian package? This is not the right way to build a debian package, it is a dirty hack. All the files that are necessary for building a debian package are already there if you check xine-lib-1.2 out using 'hg clone http://hg.debian.org/hg/xine-lib/xine-lib-1.2'. Or if you grab a snapshot tarball (but not from Debian experimental, since that tarball was built using make dist; OTOH, you have the .diff.gz). With 'debuild -uc -us -rfakeroot' in the xine-lib-1.2 directory, the xline-lib gets compiled and you have debian packages afterwords one directory up. As well as source packages, which you (probably) don't need or want. I normally just use debuild binary, but adding in the signing-prevention options is useful for others. It does depend on whether you're distributing or not, but if you are, I suggest make dist-gzip, unpack the tarball, copy the Debian directory into it, add a changelog entry (it's worth mentioning the changeset ID) then build. At least this is the way I build my ubuntu packages for xine-lib with vdpau patches. You have the right idea. :-) -- | Darren Salt| linux or ds at | nr.

Re: [vdr] [ANNOUNCE] Single CoreAVC Patch that Works with Xine-lib and Vdr-xine
I demand that Morfsta may or may not have written...
Attached is a patch to enable decoding of H264 video streams using the
CoreAVC Win32 DLL, the latest HG clone of xine-lib and Reinhard's vdr-xine
and of course VDR. CoreAVC is a commercial and fast software-based H264
decoder.
[snip]
Note, to increase performance I have disabled the xine de-interlacer
for H264 streams as by default the CoreAVC deinterlacer is enabled. I
don't think it's as good as the xine de-interlacer, but if you want to
try re-enable xine deint on your CPU [...]
If at all possible, the CoreAVC deinterlacer should be made useable as a
deinterlacer plugin, much as tvtime and pp are.
Note, I haven't written the majority of this patch, it has been pulled
together from about 4 other patches (budice's work on DVBN and the google
code site itself).
If you can untangle them and set up a repository containing the individual
patches *or* make a quilt series from them, that'd be better. It might be
worth using From: and Subject: headers at the top (RFC2822-style) for proper
attribution (hg import understands these).
I have added code to automatically detect the size of the H264 stream and
to set the aspect ratio of the resultant picture as well as making it apply
cleanly (hopefully!) to today's HG of xine.
Without overriding the user's preference, I hope.
Therefore, the code is nothing more than a total hack and will not likely
see inclusion in xine in it's current form.
You're right (and you mean its).
(! = will cause rejection; ? - may cause rejection; - = should be fixed.)
! New files are missing copyright/licence headers.
- C++ comments. (We prefer C comments.)
- printf usage - you want xprintf or lprintf.
? static SampleProcUserData sampleProcData - why is this not part of an
instance-specific struct, or allocated as needed?
- #include xine/... - should use , not
- White-space and {} changes which don't change the meaning of the code don't
belong in the patch.
- 32-bit assumptions. Probably safe for now...
? Use of signal() - be careful: that could trample all over the front end's
own signal handling. (I note that signal(2) says that its effects in a
multi-threaded process is undefined...)
? src/libw32dll/wine/win32.c, lines 5445-5454: fixed-size buffer sprintf.
Are you *sure* that there's no chance of an overflow here?
- Some indentation/line-break fixups where code is already changed would be
good. :-)

Yes you are right - it takes care internally but not for plugins like dvdswitch etc. In order to fix this problem you could patch every single plugin or just set the right file descriptor flag once. I think the latter does not cause any interference and should solves some issues. For the record, the latter creates a small race condition: an external program could be launched before FD_CLOEXEC is set on an fd. In VDR all file descriptors seem to be allocated at startup. IMHO it is not very likely that a race condition could happen. From open(2): O_CLOEXEC (Since Linux 2.6.23) Enable the close-on-exec flag for the new file descriptor. Specifying this flag permits a program to avoid an additional fcntl(2) F_SETFD operation to set the FD_CLOEXEC flag. Addi- tionally, use of this flag is essential in some multithreaded programs since using a separate fcntl(2) F_SETFD operation to set the FD_CLOEXEC flag does not suffice to avoid race condi- tions where one thread opens a file descriptor at the same time as another thread does a fork(2) plus execve(2).

Re: [vdr] VDR-core's texts in plugin's .pot files
I demand that Matthias Becker may or may not have written... plugins can re-use VDR-core translations. With the old i18n.c method plugin authors just did not provide a plugin specific translation for these texts. With the new translation method identifying these text got harder for plugin translators. xgettext puts all texts into the .pot file - also the texts for which the VDR-core translation should be used. A translator now cannot see which texts he has to translate and which not. Can this be improved? Each plugin has to handle its own translations and ensure that they're in its own translation domain. This means that its makefile has to run xgettext, generate .mo files and install them. Translation has to be done (for plugin-specific text) using dgettext() and dngettext() instead of gettext() and ngettext(). [snip] -- | Darren Salt| linux or ds at | nr.

Re: [vdr] [RFC] Shutdown rewrite for 1.5.x
I demand that Udo Richter may or may not have written... Darren Salt wrote: I guess the only situation that may cause a problem is if the VDR never shuts down, eg. has no shutdown script at all. It must have some Min User Inactivity setting, or else live viewing could be interrupted by the automatic update. The user inactivity setting isn't relevant to that, AFAICS. If you want to do the update while there's no ongoing activity, then you'll need some kind of user inactivity, otherwise a live viewer would be interrupted instantly. Local policy would seem to be the best way to handle this. For example, a plugin may be possible that reacts on a SVDRP command (request for update), and that sets a temporary shutdown script (calls Shutdown.SetShutdownCommand()). As soon as the script exists, the inactivity shutdown will be back, but instead of shutting down, the script stops VDR, installs the update and restarts. (Did you mean exits?) Actually, exists, in the sense that the name of a script has been set using the Shutdown.SetShutdownCommand() call. Bad choice of word - the obvious meaning of the phrase is when the script is created. The local admin may have disabled SVDRP or the SVDRP port may be in use (perhaps a buggy plugin, or maybe just bad timing). Sending a signal to the running vdr process works regardless. Ok, a suggestion how this could be done in a simple and useful way: We re-define SIGHUP, so that it doesn't terminate VDR instantly, but instead checks for activity. If user and vdr is inactive, act just like sigterm, if there's some activity, ignore the signal. An external script could then repeat sending the SIGHUP periodically until termination did succeed. That'd be start-stop-daemon, most likely, which means that the task would have to be backgrounded. Its -R option is useful for this - something like -R forever/-HUP/5, I think - but it's just possible that VDR may become inactive then active without receiving a signal in between. However, that doesn't fit in well with runvdr, or at least with my version - which you can find in this diff (which can be cleanly applied against an empty directory) as vdr-1.4.5/debian/runvdr.c: URL:http://zap.tartarus.org/~ds/debian/dists/unstable/main/source/vdr_1.4.5-1.ds.diff.gz (Link: URL:http://www.youmustbejoking.demon.co.uk/progs.sid.html#vdr) Also, the SIGHUP effect is not delayed for an indefinite time and won't strike unexpectedly / needs thoughts on how to cancel the SIGHUP if you change your mind. Sending a SIGTERM would obviously cancel it. :-) That aside, I'd probably use SIGUSR1 as a cancellation (which should be as simple as clearing a flag). And on SVDRP: Since the SVDRP rewrite is on the todo list anyway, we could add support to do SVDRP on unix domain sockets, not just TCP. Domain sockets are represented by files (like for example /etc/vdr/svdrp.socket) and access rights are controlled by the file system. This would allow to open SVDRP only for the local root, or just for the local video user group. That could be useful. For my purposes, though, I still prefer signals :-) -- | Darren Salt| linux or ds at | nr.

Some kind of i-am-idle-lets-do-a-restart state? I'm not really sure what makes this different to the existing stuff. Maybe not much. I'm just making sure that what I see as useful here (from a packager's point of view) is heard... Surely, an upgrade should not interrupt ongoing activity. That's reasonable but ISTM that it's something which is best left to the local admin to decide. I'll agree that recording should *normally* never be interrupted (but a forcible shutdown needs to be possible). If the VDR does automatic shutdown, then the answer is simple: Do your upgrade on next shutdown or restart. Thats the earliest time anyway. That's possible, but not always appropriate or even wanted. (It doesn't match how I do things, for a start.) I guess the only situation that may cause a problem is if the VDR never shuts down, eg. has no shutdown script at all. It must have some Min User Inactivity setting, or else live viewing could be interrupted by the automatic update. The user inactivity setting isn't relevant to that, AFAICS. Some kind of temporary shutdown script could do the trick. In normal situations, there's no shutdown because of no shutdown script, but in case of pending updates, a temporary shutdown script does the update. For example, a plugin may be possible that reacts on a SVDRP command (request for update), and that sets a temporary shutdown script (calls Shutdown.SetShutdownCommand()). As soon as the script exists, the inactivity shutdown will be back, but instead of shutting down, the script stops VDR, installs the update and restarts. (Did you mean exits?) That has problems...

Re: [vdr] xinelib error??? video_out: throwing away image
I demand that Simon Baxter may or may not have written... I'm having intermittant problems when replaying vdr recordings with xineliboutput. Every few minutes I get an audio/video slip/break and stdout reports: video_out: throwing away image with pts 124350653 because it's too old (diff : 29229) Is this a xinelib message?

I demand that Stone may or may not have written... There is a fixed patchset here: URL:http://www.youmustbejoking.demon.co.uk/patches/vdr-xine/ Darren, should all of these patches in your vdr-xine directory be applied to current xine development? Thanks for the patches. Eventually. I won't commit them without being told that they're ready for commit and, ideally, not before they've been reviewed. -- | Darren Salt| linux or ds at | nr.
