This sounds interesting! Never heard about this before.. Is there any way to check which plugins might block the device, or do I just have to start by disabling all, and going through each plugin one-by one? yes, this is the best way to find it. Just start with no plugin.. when it is possible to grab the image, than one of your plugins block the device. (this is also what I did for a while: http://www.vdr-portal.de/board/thread.php?postid=809751#post809751) I tested everything you guys suggested, and ended up booting into older kernel-versions. I finally found a kernel-version that returned a suxxesful grab. After this i did a diff on the kernel-config-files, and found what was missing from my new configs: CONFIG_VIDEO_V4L1_COMPAT=y (Device Drivers-Multimedia support- Enable Video For Linux API 1 compatible Layer=y) Enabling this, recompiling the kernel, replacing the kernel-image and rebooting my vdr returned the grab-feature of vdr!! I'm not sure why vdr 1.6.0-2 needs this setting, but anyway this solved the case. I hope that if someone has similar problems, that these instructions help them getting grab to work again! Best Regards, and have a merry New Year 2010 :-) René ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr

In newer driver versions, you can ensure this with options while loading the modules. Example: modinfo dvb_ttpci parm: adapter_nr: DVB adapter numbers (array of short) options budget_av adapter_nr=1 options dvb_ttpci adapter_nr=0 Markus ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr

[vdr] 451 Grab image failed
Hi all! I have had problems in getting screen captures from VDR (VDR 1.6.0_p2-r3 on Gentoo) with with for example: svdrpsend.pl grab file.jpg and Wapd, Vdr-live etc etc. I have -g /tmp set when starting VDR.. I actually don't remember when i lost this function, but this definitely worked at some point. I have two dvb-cards: One budget, and one full-featured card (FF Technotrend dvb-s, and Technotrend budget dvb-t) I have read about many similar cases, and some of them got sorted out by getting more fresh dvb-drivers. These cases where from 2006, so i would assume that this issue should have been solved til now.. I also changed the order of the dvb-cards, because this seemed to be an issue at least in one case.. Now I'm using the 2.6.31 kernel with the original dvb-modules (budget_ci and dvb_ttpci). My question is now: What else should i try to do so that i could get the grab-function to work again? Any ideas and helps are appreciated! Regards, René ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
