Re: [vdr] vdr 1.7.0 + reelbox plugin problem - solved
Well it turned out that for some reason Fedora 9 (kernel 2.6.25.14-108.fc9.i686) and VIA EX1EG motherboard and Reelbox eHD combination doesn't work. I re-installed Fedora twice to make sure. (And still it might be that I overlooked something...) Then I installed an identical Fedora 9 on a different motherboard and it worked immidiately. Big thanks to Niels Wagenaar and Georg Acher for helping me out. Would never have gotten it to work without your help!

I am using a patched hdshm.c file that I downloaded. The one in the reelbox SVN testing used 'pci_get_device_reverse', which I think has been removed from the newer kernels. I will SVN a completely fresh reelbox tommorrow and see if maybe I have made some mistakes when installing the drivers.

I have the "Quick Power On Self Test" enabled, so by disabling this I should have this problem fixed. Josce ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr

The audio and video are in sync. Have a look at the hdtsplay-demo in the hdshm3-folder. It is a simple demo that plays back TS files over the DeCypher. If that works, your basic driver setup (+ the HW) is OK, and something in the vdr (or the patches) itself is wrong. -- Georg Acher, [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.lrr.in.tum.de/~acher "Oh no, not again !"

There is a reset circuit on the that controls the complicated power sequencing. It is possible that your BIOS is too fast and configures the PCI space during this powerup sequence. At that time, the HDE is not properly accessible. It is possible to shorten this sequence a bit, but for that you need to exchange a SMD capacitor on the HDE board. -- Georg Acher, [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.lrr.in.tum.de/~acher "Oh no, not again !"

Noticed some other thing. When I playback a recording that worked well with vdr 1.6.0 the subtitles come 6-7 seconds before they should. The audio and video are in sync. I also get, (which I don't know what they are): virtual void Reel::HdOsd::SetActive(bool) On=1 virtual void Reel::HdOsd::SetActive(bool) On=0 virtual void Reel::HdOsd::SetActive(bool) On=1 virtual void Reel::HdOsd::SetActive(bool) On=0 GET STC 0 virtual void Reel::HdOsd::SetActive(bool) On=1 GET STC 0 GET STC 0 GET STC 0 GET STC 0 GET STC 0 vdr-1.7.0 +vdr-1.6.0-truecolor-compile_fixes.diff +vdr-1.7.0-h264-syncearly-framespersec-audioindexer-fielddetection-speedup.diff +vdr-1.7.0-multiproto-update.diff Reelbox plugin (SVN revision 8171) multiproto from http://mercurial.intuxication.org/hg/liplianindvb Josce ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
