I would guess no since the nic on a raspberry pi uses the usb bus.


Uhh.. That sounds like a bad combination... So the raspberry seems to be 
best for streaming just in one direction...


So if running VDR on a singelboard-computer, then a good pick would be 
the A20-OLinuXino-LIME as Cedric mentioned earlier. There is a native 
ethernet if using NAS, and also an onboard SATA-connector... The price 
is also not bad :-)

I tried it, but it did not help. ionice -c2 or ionice -c2. No

Anyways, I now have a record hook in place which moves finished
recordings from SD card to USB drive. SD is now acting like a cache.
That works so far.

Thanks Matthias

Hi!

You could also try to start VDR with the highest possible IO
priority, e.g. ionice -c2 -n0 vdr ...

That helped some years ago on my old VDR server to ensure, that no
other process gets more IO priority than VDR.

I made a test with recording directly to the Flash SD card.

like it is indeed an issue with USB on the Raspberry PI 2.
Any idea how to solve that?


It _could_ be the write-cache-flush which saturates the bus and
then dramatically decreases I/O of the overall system.

Try

hdparm -W 0 /dev/



You could also try iotop, which should I/O activity of all
processes, maybe there is something going on.

sudo apt install iotop sudo iotop

[vdr] Restart of frontend

2015-02-12 Thread René

Hi,

First of all i want to thank Klaus for VDR. Vdr has been now part of my 
life for roughly 10 years, and i can't imagine myself changing it to 
anything else!


I have finally got time to migrate xineliboutput to softhddevice, but 
this has not been working 100% stable. I have had a couple of 
screen-freezes and screen-blackouts, and the only way to get this fixed 
was by restarting vdr. When using xineliboutput i have solved this by 
simply restarting my windowmanager (lightdm) by using an external 
command that reloads lightdm..


Is there a way that this could be done from vdr itself, eg by reloading 
the softhddevice-plugin with either an external command without stopping 
VDR?


Best Regards,

René

I have to take a new look, because an earlier version what i tested did

channel-changes. I'm sorry that i missed this! :-)



Permashift does prepend the buffer to a recording, but it does not
consult the EPG about the length. To be honest, I don't consider this
a problem. Starting a recording earlier for safety reasons is the default
for ordinary recordings as well, and you can either fast forward when
watching the recording or cut it to fit the stuff you wanted to record.


Ok, i really need to re-check the plugin. I obviously have missed this 
when i had it last time installed :-)

Re: [vdr] Want to have Permashift in your own language?

2014-11-23 Thread René

Hi Eike,

Could i again propose that permashift would have the same functionality 
as the old livebuffer had? I would like permashift to constantly record 
the channel you watch into RAM (or HDD if you want to break it :-) so 
that i could just hit rewind, and have the progralm i watch rewinded. 
Now permashift needs that i hit pause first..


The next enhancement would be great to combine permashift with the EPG 
and recording a program. Eg. I watch a program, and later decide that i 
want to record it, permashift would append from the buffer the beginning 
of the program to the recording that i turned manually later on..


Best Regards,

René

There is no limit to future EPG events. For instance, on some channels I

This sounds like great news :-) What kind of features does premashif

You can do it yourself :-).

 If you don't want to use the available packages in e.g. yaVDR, you can at
 least do a `apt-get build-dep vdr-plugin-softhddevice` to get the build
 dependencies (assuming you have the appropriate repositories in your
 sources.list)

hi Toibias,

I did just have the medibuntu-repository for my buntu Precise Pangolin. 
I assume that for getting the latest vdr-stuff, i should go for the repo 
mentioned over here:

http://www.e-tobi.net/blog/2013/03/14/vdr-1-7-40-2-0-0-eure-hilfe-wird-gebraucht

With the help of apt-file search i got now softhddevice compiled. Now I 
just need to wait that the my familie heads to bed so that i can sit up 
the whole night tweaking vdr

Hi Louis,

I start xineliboutput with the following line

xineliboutput --local=none --remote=37890 --primary --fullscreen

I tried to add --hud but it did not work. To had to remove first 
--fullscreen because vdr did not start, but to the end i had the same 
problem: no osd :-(


I tried to install softhddevice, but i could not get it to compile due 
to missing libraries etc. If you know which packages is needed in 
Ubuntu, then it would be great to get help with this :-)

Hi Rene,

how do you start the xineliboutput plugin? To get a true color osd,
you have to start it with --hud. I think this is your problem...

If this is not working, you could also try to use softhddevice as
output plugin. softhddevice supports true color anyway, so you could
see if you have another issue maybe...

Why don't you use `apt-file search` to identify the packages which
contain the files you're missing?


I'm running a manually compiled vdr, and the ubuntu-version i run does

Hi Louis,

I tried the plugin on vdr 1.7.41, but i don't get the OSD working (osd

some libraries that i'm missing?

Hi,

One additional technical remark: the skin uses intensively the
eMenuCategory enumeration introduced in VDR 1.7.34 to determinate
which menu has to be displayed and if this menu should be displayed
narrowly or in default style.

So plugins like epgsearch or extrecmenu which replace VDR menus also
have to set correct MenuCategories to be displayed correctly by the
skin. In the newest versions of these plugins this is already
implemented, so you should use always the latest git version of these
plugins.

One remaining issue with older plugins which are not already adapted
to this new behaviour is the following: in plugins with dedicated
setup menus which inherit from cMenuSetupPage the menu category
mcSetup is set by the constructor of VDRs cMenuSetupPage, but this
category should only be used by the main setup menu from VDR (which
is diplayed narrow by default in the skin). To solve this, in the
constructors of these plugin menus a different menu category (for
instance mcSetupPlugins) has to be set via a call to
SetMenuCategory:

SetMenuCategory(mcSetupPlugins);

Re: [vdr] [PATCH] toggle between recordings sort order with 0 key

2012-06-06 Thread René

Hi Mika,

Thanks for this patch! Great to get this feature back that i have been 
missing since my recent upgrade from vdr 1.6 to 1.7


Would it be possible to enhance the patch so that you would get the 
directories also sorted separately: Directories before recordings / 
directories after recordings (i prefer the latter option) sorted by 
name... :-)

René

Hi

Attached is a patch which allows to toggle the sort order
of recordings in the recording menu with vdr-1.7.27 between
- name
- date
- recording length

by pressing 0 key. At least I have found this to be very useful
feature when trying to find a just made recording from which you
do not know/remember the exact name to search from the long list of
recordings.

The thing I do not like in the patch is that the user must know this 0
key as all 4 colors are already reserved in VDR for other functions in
recordings menu. (play, go to beginning, delete and info).
But I do not know any better way to handle this at the moment.

Patch got inspiration from
http://www.u32.de/vdr-1.3.37-simple_record_sort-0.1.diff
originally submitted by Walter Koch some years ago.

The cryptic symbol decodes to cTimer::cTimer(bool, bool, cChannel*),

This function exists in this form since 1.3.38. VDR itself seems to be
fine, so your VDR seems to have a different function instead. However,
the plugins rely on the original function because they somehow compiled
against the original definition in the timers.h.

My guess is that one of the patches is optionally modifying this, and
the plugins were somehow compiled with different versions of the
timers.h, or with different compiler flags that cause some #ifdef to flip.

[vdr] problems with playback and plugins with vdr-1.7.22

2012-01-06 Thread René

Hi all,

I finally managed to upgrade my vdr-1.6.x to vdr-1.7.22 and get the 
LiveBuffer patch compiled in Gentoo. There was however some problems i 
bumped into.


The first issue i have is when starting vdr. I get the following plugins 
to fail during startup:


ERROR: loading plugin libvdr-epgsearch.so.1.7.22: undefined symbol: 
_ZN6cTimerC1EbbP8cChannel
ERROR: loading plugin libvdr-skinenigmang.so.1.7.22: undefined symbol:

_ZN8vdr_burn13chain_archiveC1ERNS_3jobE
ERROR: loading plugin libvdr-streamdev-server.so.1.7.22: undefined 
symbol: _ZN6cTimerC1EbbP8cChannel


I have compiled vdr, and after this i recompiled all plugins without any 
errors. The use-flags that are active are these:
cutterlimit ddepgentry hardlinkcutter lircsettings mainmenuhooks 
pinplugin timerinfo wareagleicon yaepg

The same use-flags worked fine with vdr 1.6.x

LiveBuffer for vdr-1.7.22 again failed with these use-flags: 
dvlvidprefer liemikuutio jumpplay setup ttxtsubs


Is there anything that i forgot to enable/disable in my setup?


Then i got an other problem. When watching a recording, and i 
fastforward of rewind the program, i get to a situation that the 
timecounter get's stuck to the frame i start from. The film moves, but 
when i hit play, i end up back to the frame from where i started to

The patch is now found by the ebuild, but  it wont' get applied. The 
problem is just that it does not work. For some reasons it get's errors

if someone knows what's messed up in the previous error-message, then i 
get the same error for BigPatch

I don't have livebuffer in the menu. I activated the livebuffer by
setting 'Pause key handling' to 'Timeshit'.


Ok, is this something you have to manually edit in setup.conf? I don't 
have this option in the setup for recording.. Here i have only pause 
live video, do not pause live video and confirm pause live video..


Do you btw have to press pause to activate livebuffer, or can you just 
press rewind in the middle of playback? In the 1.6.x patch i don't have 
to press pause, i just press rewind..

There is a typo error in vdr.c but that's all.

For gentoo users, I attached the patches I use. I relocated some hunk of
config.c and config.h and renamed USE_LIVEBUFFER to LIVEBUFFER in Makefile.

Patch the ebuild and put the other patch in
/etc/portage/patches/media-video/vdr-1.7.21 (I use the epatch_user tool
instead of the script, see the ebuild patch).


Hi Marc,

I'm having trouble in getting the patch you posted to work in my setup. 
Could you please check if you find something that i screwed up?


http://paste.me.uk/1484.html

I have saved the patch as: 
0001-opt-96-livebuffer12-rmm.dpatch-rebased-onto-1.7.21.patch


What i did was that i deleted the message-headers etc from the file, and 
left the first row to be: diff --git a/Makefile b/Makefile




Best Regards,

René

Hi René,

You can watch the output of the patch
(/var/tmp/portage/media-video/vdr-1.7.21-r2/temp/0001-opt-96-livebuffer12-rmm.dpatch-rebased-onto-1.7.21.patch.out)
and see where it fails.

vdr 1.7.22 is out now on vdr-devel overlay. I'll post an updated patch
for it tomorrow. It could work better on your configuration.


Hi Marc,

I pasted the output over here: http://pastebin.com/8eMsEuMf

It looks that it can't find the files to patch. Maybe the patch was not 
compatible with Gentoo?


It would be great if you could send an updated ebuild to 1.7.22 :-) I 
really miss the days when i updated my vdr on every release.. Now i have 
been stuck with 1.6.x for ages..


Do you think that it would be possible to add the livebuffer-patch back 
to the official gentoo overlay? Even better if it could be added as a 
basic feature of vdr (that could be turned on/off from the settings :-) 
Klaus? Please, please, please :-)

There was talk of this some time ago, though I don't think anything
solid came of it. I personally am not interested in it unless ram came
be used for the buffer storage. Having a harddrive (or even worse, an
ssd) in a constant write state 24/7 is not something I'd like to do.
Whatever the case, I think you'll be stuck with the patch for a while.


I have set my livebuffer to use 2gb memory (hdd). If i would have 4gb 
ram (now i have just 1gb), then i would use a 2gb ramdisk for 
livebuffer, and the rest for my system. This would be more than enough.. 
:-) But having a patch working for vdr is ok too :-)

RAM is cheap enough now days that having plenty of it isn't a problem
for most people. For example, 4GB will cost you less than a few hours
at the pub with friends. :)


The OP probably meant to have the option to use RAM directly without
fiddling with a RAM disk setup.


This could be a nice feature, but setting up a ramdisk is also pretty 
easy..

look at
http://www.vdr-portal.de/board17-developer/board25-patches/p1003452-livebuffer-
patch-f%C3%BCr-vdr-1-7-16-aus-rmm-svn/#post1003452

in this thread there is a newer version available. But this version still is
missing three important fixes from RMM svn repos. Could anyone update these,
please?


Is this patch hosted at for example github, or at vdr-developer.org? 
Github would be a good idea, because their frontend makes it easy to 
follow between revisions.. Also other people could just join by forking 
and do their own additions :-)


So did i understand correct that the patch Norm sent does not work with 
1.7.21? (i have not managed to recompile my vdr, cause had too much 
work.. Will definitively try the update during x-mas! :-)

It's a patch from yaVDR and it doesn't apply to the vdr source tree as
is (at least for me). The second patch works on gentoo ebuild with small
changes (It conflicts with other patches and need some changes for
config.c  config.h part).

I tried the second too but it crashes vdr when I try to pause. I didn't
tested a lot.


Hi Marc,

It's a shame that it did not work.. I wonder in which order the patches 
are added to VDR in a normal gentoo compilation-processs. Is the 
VDR_LOCAL_PATCHES_DIR applied as last in the row of patches, or is this 
first? I assume that if eg. this patch comes in as the last patch, I 
need to adjust this patch to match possible changes in the source made 
by other patches..


It would be great if this patch could be re-added into Gentoo as a 
default use-flag... This patch was (and still IS) a really great 
feature! :-)

Here you go. I grabbed this from the yaVDR source.

Hi Norm,

Thanks!! Do you know which vdr-build this patch is for?

I'm running gentoo, so it should be pretty easy to update an ebuild to 
contain this patch! :-)
