When the recording starts, vdr tries to open the device but fails: - emergency restart - close mplayer-Plugin - quit mplayer. I always thought of rewriting the plugin to write the video data directly to the device instead of letting mplayer do it. I already had parts of the code in the recoder-tools. Now I bought a second card and the problem is gone, so is my ambition to write this code. :-( It's too bad you never finished rewriting that plugin cuz there's a ton of people who would be using it right now if you did. Multi-card setups definitely don't seem to be the majority. ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr

When I started with VDR half a year ago with one FF card, I had this trouble with timers/mplayer but then I changed some stuff during the time (settings, DVB drivers, newer mplayer version etc.) the problem was gone for good for months now. And I bought a second DVB card just two weeks ago. :) Very, very strange. The problem certainly exists using vdr-1.5.2, mplayer-nogui 1:1.0-rc1svn20070501-0.1, mp3/mplayer plugin version 0.9.15, and mplayer.sh version 0.8.7.. The problem has always existed here and I've used every version of all those starting nearly 4 years ago. Patrick's explanation makes sense to me and I don't see how the problem could be resolved otherwise...? ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr

I also have a single FF card setup and know about the problem you speak of with mplayer causing VDR to crash when a timers goes off while mplayer is in use. Could you try building current svn of mplayer with current HG dvb drivers and let us know if you still have the problem? This problem seems to have disappeared for me after updating mplayer a few weeks ago. It is not reproducable for me every time.. only sometimes.

Re: [vdr] Bug/SegFault in vdr-1.4.6
I haven't tried this yet but I will see if I can verify it although I'm using 1.5.2 here. Another problem with crashing occurs when you are watching something with the mplayer plugin and a timer is triggered. Results in a crash every time here. I don't understand why it happens though because playing something like a .avi doesn't (or shouldn't) require the tuner to be in use... You're playing a file, not something from the dvb stream! ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr

You're playing a file, not something from the dvb stream! I noticed kind of the same problem in 1.4.x. As far as I can remember VDR crashed not just when a timer started but also when the timer was about to be completed. Anyway, I'm not exactly sure how I got rid off it since I've changed a lot of settings since then, but I think it has something to do with the DVB setting Update channels - even though I couldn't find any correlation when I checked the sources. Try setting Update channels to no and see if VDR still crashes while using mplayer when a timer starts. -- Chris ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
Re: [vdr] Bug/SegFault in vdr-1.4.6
Ok, I've done some testing now with vdr-1.5.2 and the results are: I could not reproduce the crash problems from the original post. I could not reproduce the vdradmin crash problems. Turning off Update channels did not have any affect on the crash problem when a timer is triggered during while the mplayer plugin is in use. VDR still crashed. ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
