Still happens in VDR 1.3.20. The kernel is 2.6.9 but the DVB driver is a recent CVS snapshot. Olaf

vdr-xine-0.7.x breaks SVDR
by Tuomas Jormola 16 Feb '05

16 Feb '05

Hi, When using vdr-xine plugin version 0.7.0 or 0.7.1 and the xine player is connected to the vdr-xine socket, changing channels from a telnet session to VDR's SVDR service doesn't work anymore. The SVDR service just hangs when it tries to change channels. Also the vdr-control plugin's OSD-over-network doesn't work. However, it'll work just after starting VDR and without xine player connected. After the xine player connects, problem begins to occur. With vdr-xine 0.6.5 everything is ok … [View More]

RE: [vdr] vdr-1.3.21: video data stream broken

I think this bug only can be reproduced if you are using 4x1 diseqc switches. I have exact same problem on my setup and I traced it out to diseqc switches. Every time one of your cards switches one switch while other card is recording, the diseqc signal goes around LNB to another diseqc switch and moves its position too, and other card, which is recording, loses signal and you get VDSB. I don't have scope but I've put the cards in different machines and if I set one of the machines to record … [View More]

[ANNOUNCE] decruft plugin 0.0.1
by Dominic Morris 16 Feb '05

16 Feb '05

Hi, It's only a small plugin, but I've found it quite useful to automatically cleanup my channels lists, so maybe others might find it useful too? The decruft plugin removes undesired channels from your channel list so that you can leave "Add new channels/transponders" and find something interesting. Filtering can be performed on apid,vpid,tpid,dpid, ca, Source, Name and Provider. Possibly uses of this are: - remove radio stations - remove channels that use CAs that you don't have the … [View More]

vdr-1.3.21: video data stream broken
by sn123py vdr user 16 Feb '05

16 Feb '05

Hi, i get some fatal errors when recording more than one timer. This error does not occur if recording only one timer. I use vanilla vdr-1.3.21 without any plugin dvb Version linux-dvb.2004-12-26. my DVB-Cards are two NEXUS-s Cards. The output from syslog and the strace from vdr are available at: http://tvmovie2vdr.vdr-developer.org/logs/VideoDataStreamBroken.tgz (80kb) if i can do anything that helps finding this error, let me know. regards, Friedhelm.

I have four DVB-S cards, two FF and two budget cards and I tried variety of hardware combinations to solve it and I think I'm getting better at it too. Since I live in US, no one makes diseqc multiswitches here which would be appropriate for my setup and I can't get one from Germany because dealers just refuse to send it. So I'm looking for other ways to solve it. > >and I traced it out to diseqc switches. > >Every time one of your cards switches one switch > >while other card is recording, the diseqc signal goes around LNB to > >another diseqc switch and moves its position too, and other card, > >which is recording, loses signal and you get VDSB. > > That sounds like the problem i have with my "single LNB" > environment: If i enabled EPG scan, after an hour the > Video stream breaks. I suggest getting latest 2.6 kernel and CVS drivers. Although I keep EPG disabled too but I never get these errors in single card setup, using 4 LNBs and I can run VDR for weeks without errors or reboots, and I do a lot of recordings. I'm still running vdr1.3.14 on my single FF card production machine and vdr1.3.21 is much better, I did not test 1.3.18-20 though. > >I don't have scope but I've put the cards in different machines > >and if I set one of the machines to record while I'm flipping channels > >on second machine, the first one would got VDSB > > >or if I'm not recording, I'd just lose signal > >on first machine. > > >If I use only one, either machine, at the time, > >stuff works without any problems. > > > >In my opinion, the only way to resolve this is to get > >diseqc-multiswitch. > > So only users with diseqc enabled have that problem? I think only users that use certain type of hardware setups like mine :) i.e. at least two 4x1 diseqc switches and as least two LNBs. I'm sure people with diseqc multiswitches don't have this problem. > >Another possibility is your hardware setup, i.e. one or all of your > >Nexus cards are using bad PCI slots or sharing IRQ with very > >incompatible devices.

He'll get that problem back if I'm right and we all know when diseqc handling was introduced, and diseqc handling is out of question here. In my case VDSB does not happen every time, he just did not test it very well yet. It happened to me too, I'd make some change to my setup and all of the sudden the problem disappears and then eventually it would come back. VDR has nothing to do with it if its VDSB, its either drivers or signal loss. If you are sure the diseqc switch signal does not get through LNB back to other switches, I'd overview your hardware setup, bad RAM, CPU overheats, IRQ conflicts, PCI bandwidth bottlenecks and etc. because in my opinion, VDR just has nothing to do with this. I think there were some VDSB related problems in vdr <1.3.13 because of buffer overflows but those all fixed now. Threading has some affect but usually you can notice it very quick: the VDR responds slowly, crashes, does not exit normally and etc. In my opinion, VDSB very much causes clean exit because it detects abnormal data in the stream and does not know how to handle it. VDR can be blamed for stressing your hardware but all that should be handled by drivers and kernel? > >> hm, but with same environment, vdr-1.3.17 (with nearly all plugins > >> enabled) > >> everything works?!

I did disable EPG scan but I still get the problem and I think because of my hardware setup. [View Less]
