But, there may be plugins which need to be initialized with certain values. Although, maybe it's possible to have those be reinitialized within vdr? Yeah, I would like to have option to pass path to plugin config file for vdr-executable. Then somebody could write simple ui app for configuting it via ui based on to plugins it finds from the PLUGINS dir. In the case of systemd, it's no need to have this vdr has died, unload and load kernel module loop in the runvdr script, as those can be specified also as a pre and post commands in systemd.

So nobody here has Enna working at all or can give me a clue??

Use iflag=direct to read it actually from the disk. However, in the real world data _is_ going to be cached via the kernel cache, at least (we hope) a stride's worth minimum. We're talking about recording video aren't we, and that's surely almost always sequentially written, not random seeks everywhere? For completeness, the results are: #dd if=/dev/zero of=/srv/test/delete.me bs=1M count=1024 oflag=direct 1073741824 bytes (1.1 GB) copied, 25.2477 s, 42.5 MB/s # dd if=/srv/test/delete.me of=/dev/null bs=1M count=1024 iflag=direct 1073741824 bytes (1.1 GB) copied, 4.92771 s, 218 MB/s So, still no issue with recording entire transponders; using 1/4 of the available raw bandwidth with no buffering. Interesting stuff, this :) Steve ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr

Alex Betis wrote: I don't record much, so I don't worry about speed. While there's no denying that RAID5 *at best* has a write speed equivalent to about 1.3x a single disk and if you're not careful with stride/block settings can be a lot slower, that's no worse for our purposes that, erm, having a single disk in the first place. And reading is *always* faster... Example. I'm not bothered about write speed (only having 3 tuners) so I didn't get too carried away setting up my 3-active disk 3TB RAID5 array, accepting all the default values. Rough speed test: #dd if=/dev/zero of=/srv/test/delete.me bs=1M count=1024 1073741824 bytes (1.1 GB) copied, 13.6778 s, 78.5 MB/s #dd if=/srv/test/delete.me of=/dev/null bs=1M count=1024 1073741824 bytes (1.1 GB) copied, 1.65427 s, 649 MB/s Don't know about anyone else's setup, but if I were to record all streams from all tuners, there would still be I/O bandwidth left. Highest DVB-T channel bandwidth possible appears to be 31.668Mb/s, so for my 3 tuners equates to about 95Mb/s - that's less than 12 MB/s. The 78MB/s of my RAID5 doesn't seem to be much of an issue then. Steve ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
[vdr] OT: xineliboutput - DVD subtitles always present
Hi list, Slightly off topic here, but as there are quite a few users of xineliboutput on this list, I'm hoping for a clue I seem to have an odd problem with my freshly rebuilt VDR system now using xineliboutput to obtain DVI output from an Nvidia MX440 card - watching DVDs with the including mediaplayer, the DVD subtitles are always present (and seem to default to Dutch for some reason). There's no keyboard attached and I've tried all the obvious things from the remote control, and check the Xine config file, and config-xineliboutput but can't seem to find any option to turn off subtitles. Any clues? Steve ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
