Description

xxv a central service is for the administration of the VDR and its environment, with which different of haven are open and these different services can serve.

An additional haven over a Plugin to furnish should be just as simple, to make available as also a certain service. The letter of a Plugins goes very fast, there the input (Vdr, Database etc.) as well as the output (telnet, HTTP...) generically was realized. It should be e.g. possible thus to register with a telnet CONSOLE, HttpBrowser, Wapphone, etc. an autotimer. This should substantially faster the EPG data to scan be able (MySQL data base) and over an interface the VDR the new timer communicate. Naturally also is considered to the single mode of the SVdrP and only one instruction is mailed. Afterwards the haven is again closed immediately, so that other programs can access again svdrp.

Long speech short sense, here a small overview of the present functions:

  • completely in Perl realizes
  • very generic front-end
  • Plugin system
  • Data base support
  • Epg data are regularly parsed and registered
  • very simple Plugin concept for future extensions
  • several services from a service (Telnet, HTTP, ...)
  • Dump interface for external programs

Software requirements

  • mysql-server (version!?)
  • different Perl::Module (see installation)
  • vdr2jpeg (optionally)
  • mplayer optionally), installation see mplayer-plugin

Installation

Subversion checkout

We support immediately subversion, i.e. thus for you that on your system subversion should be installed. As subversion Clients on your system to be installed can reread you here: 

 http://subversion.tigris.org/project_packages.html

In order to make a Checkout to thus pull itself (the current xxv) their simply following calls: 

 cd $SOURCEDIR
 svn checkout http://bandt.dyndns.org/repos/XXV

Xxv unpack

cd $SOURCEDIR
tar xvzf xxv-<VERSION>.tar.gz

Man page install

cd $SOURCEDIR
cp doc/xxvd.1 /usr/share/man/man1

Logrotate conf install

cd $SOURCEDIR
cp etc/logrotate.d/xxvd /etc/logrotate.d/xxvd

MySQL

per Source

cd $SOURCEDIR
tar xvzf mysql-<VERSION>.tar.gz
./configure --prefix=/usr/local \
            --libexecdir=/usr/local/bin \
            --without-extra-tools \
            --without-bench
make
make install
cd /usr/local/lib
ln -s mysql/libmysqlclient.so* .
groupadd mysql
useradd -g mysql mysql
chown -R mysql var
mysql_install_db --user=mysql &
ldconfig

Debian-specifically

apt-get install mysql-server-4.1

Perl Module

Now some perl modules follow , there give it like 2 ways:

per cpan

The recommended way, if you don't have a Debian system: By means of "Bundle::Xxv" via CPAN, simply change into the $SOURCEDIR/lib folder and the Bundle install. In addition one must UNFORTUNATELY put underneath cpan the module, it can be that with mkdir's the error messages to come the this draw-eats already already existed, which can ignore you confidently. All modules to be needed to stand in this Bundle and are installed automatically: 

cd $SOURCEDIR/xxv-<VERSION>/lib
mkdir -p ~/.cpan/Bundle
cp Bundle/Xxv.pm ~/.cpan/Bundle
perl -MCPAN -e 'install Bundle::Xxv'

Note: I had with my SuSE distri use: 

 cd $SOURCEDIR/xxv-<VERSION>/lib
 mkdir -p /etc/perl/cpan/Bundle
 cp Bundle/Xxv.pm /etc/perl/cpan/Bundle
 perl -MCPAN -e 'install Bundle::Xxv'

by SOURCE

Or another possibility via SOURCE.

  • <NAME>-<VERSION>.tar.gz

The installation is identical for most packages: 

cd $SOURCEDIR
tar xvzf <NAME>-<VERSION>.tar.gz
cd <NAME>-<VERSION>
perl Makefile.PL
make
make install
cd -

Vdr2jpeg

Over from the recordings of pictures for Xxv too extract, there are 2 possibilities, mplayer or vdr2jpeg, the latter has importantly fewer dependence, sets only ffmpeg (Version 0.4.8 functioned, 0.4.9pre1 apparently not) ahead. (details in the Readme). 

cd $SOURCEDIR
wget http://www.deltab.de/vdr/vdr2jpeg-0.0.7.tgz
tar [...] vdr2jpeg-0.0.7.tgz
cd vdr2jpeg-0.0.7

or the current conditions by subversion 

cd $SOURCEDIR
svn checkout http://bandt.dyndns.org/repos/vdr2jpeg
cd vdr2jpeg

In the Makefile should be adapted still the folder of ffmpeg and one compiles also 

make
make install INSTALLBINDIR=/usr/local/bin

Then is those xxv.conf to adapt. 

previewbinary=/usr/local/bin/vdr2jpeg

Or in the Browser, under configuration point recordings.

Update of an older version (< 0.20)

We go of it out of which you xxv with you had already installed and to point you as you to a new version to be updated can. As the first we must stop the service: 

 vdr:~# /etc/init.d/xxvd stop

Then best subversion uses around a new version from xxv to to pull: 

 vdr:~# cd $SOURCEDIR
 vdr:~# svn co http://bandt.dyndns.org/repos/XXV

So that the existing database is converted into the new structure, the update script must be started. This secures your most important data and develops the database again: 

 cd contrib
 ./upgrade-xxv.sh -u [db user name] -p [db password]

   update-xxv
   ----------
    
   Info: Checking Server
   Info: Checking Database
   Info: Retrieving current version
   Info: current database version: 0
   Info: new database version: 1
   Info: Starting update...
   Info: Saving Data
   Info: Updating Database
   Info: Restoring Data
   Info: Updateing Version
   Info: Update successful

Possibly copy /etc/init.d/xxvd and to the new installation listing adapt and afterwards start again: 

 vdr:~# cp etc/xxvd /etc/init.d/xxvd
 vdr:~# /etc/init.d/xxvd restart

Log file control: 

 vdr:~# tail -f /var/log/xxvd.log


If any error messages should emerge wg. missing modules in the log file, then should install these for her. Who does not go to no more white as, which will help wiki you:

http://www.linuxtv.org/vdrwiki/index.php/Xxv#Perl_Module

XXV keep current

... with Subversion

In order to keep xxv current, you simply only one update with subversion need to make, which updates script call and start afterwards xxv again: 

 cd $SOURCEDIR
 /etc/init.d/xxvd stop

 svn update
 ...

... as Download

Naturally it will give also further the possibility of getting themselves from the existing download server http://xpix.dieserver.de/downloads/xxv/?M=D current packages and of unpacking these then. But(!), these packages are made available only in irregular distances. Are thus not always current: 

cd $SOURCEDIR
wget http://xpix.dieserver.de/downloads/xxv/xxv-<VERSION>.tgz
tar xvzf xxv-<VERSION>.tar.gz

Database structure adapt

New or extended xxv-functions involve often also a change of the data base structure. After the installation of an update, should you therefore first always the script contrib/update xxv call. XXV may be started at this time not yet.

In the simplest case must transfer no parameters to her to the script. This presupposes however that MySQL on the local computer is installed that the data base is called ' xxv ' and the database administrator ' root ' does not possess a password. 

 cd $SOURCEDIR/contrib
 ./update-xxv

Beyond that can to the script a set of parameters hand over, which also steer a few extended functions apart from the access to the data base you. An overview of all parameters receive you with: 

 cd $SOURCEDIR/contrib
 ./update-xxv -h
 
 update-xxv
 ----------
 
 Usage: update-xxv [-b] [-h hostname] [-P port] [-d database]
                   [-u user] [-p password]
 
 -b <target>    : Make a backup first to <target>.gz
 -H <hostname>  : Host name of the MySQL server (default: localhost)
 -P <port>      : Port number of MySQL server
 -d <database>  : XXV database name (default: xxv)
 -u <user>      : Username (default: root)
 -p <password>  : Password (default: no password)
 -a             : Ask for password
 -f             : Force upgrade, do not check version
 -h             : Help

With the parameter -b is accomplished before the update a Backup of the data base. In addition the name of the backupfile (without the ending gz) must be indicated. The parameters -H (hostname) and -P (haven) steer the access to the MySQL server. This ' localhost' and haven are according to standard 3306. If the database should not be called 'xxv', then can you with -D another name select.

The data base user can specify you with -u and its password with -p. In order to be able to accomplish the update, the data base user needs FILE of rights. Usually only the administrator 'root' is this right.

safety reference: With the delivery of the password in the command line parameters the password becomes visible for one moment for all other user of the local system ('ps -fA' indicates all processes with their parameters!). Alternatively have you therefore the possibility, by means of -A the update script for the password ask of letting. However the password is several times queried, since different data base operations are necessary.

Database updates are accomplished by update xxv only if you are really necessary. Should times somewhat inclined run or if you would like on an old data base structure ' down degrees ', then can you the update with -f force.

With a successful data base update a list of the accomplished actions spends update xxv: 

 update-xxv
 ----------
 
 Info: Checking Server
 Info: Checking Database
 Info: Retrieving current version
 Info: current database version: 0
 Info: new database version: 1
 Info: Starting update...
 Info: Saving Data
 Info: Updating Database
 Info: Restoring Data
 Info: Updateing Version
 Info: Update successful


In the event of an error "error:..." messages spent. The most probable cause for an error is the data base access. You should examine first thus username, password, data base name and host.

After the update can you XXV again start: 

 /etc/init.d/xxvd start

Configuration

Start the MySQL of server also: 

mysqld_safe --user=mysql &

Creation of the data base xxv: 

mysql -u root -e "create database xxv;"

Afterwards the rights are to be set: 

mysql -u root -e "grant all privileges on xxv.* to xpix@localhost;"

Now $HOMEDIR/.xxvd.cfg is to be adapted as follows 

[General]
DSN=DBI:mysql:database=xxv;host=localhost;port=3306
PWD=
USR=xpix

Xxv start

So that xxv with each system start as service can be started, to have we a starting script under etc/xxvd stored, which one should install in its system. Before one should enter however still the path, where of you is xxv: 

cd $SOURCEDIR/xxv-<VERSION>
nano etc/xxvd

In place of nano can you naturally also another editor use. In the first lines simply $SOURCEDIR and with ctrl-o (with nano) stored. 

# -------------------------------------------

# Where is bin/xxvd
FOLDER="/root/XXV" 

# -------------------------------------------


Under SuSE you still supplement at the beginning of the file, z.B. nach '# xxvd Start/Stop the xxvd daemon': 

### BEGIN INIT INFO
# Provides:       xxvd
# Required-Start: vdr
# Required-Stop:
# Default-Start: 3 5
# Default-Stop:  0 1 2 6
# Description:   telnet/http config server, for the DVB Settop box vdr program
### END INIT INFO

Then give you (with SuSE): 

cp etc/xxvd /etc/init.d/.
cd /etc/init.d/
insserv xxvd

Thus XXV with each boats of the computer after vdr one starts. If you do not use SuSE, gehts further with:


so that you know, in which Runlevel it straight run, should their level call: 

runlevel

You notice and provide the level you in the folder /etc/rc[runlevelnumber].d a symbolic link up xxvd. With my example in level 2: 

cd $SOURCEDIR/xxv-<VERSION>
cp etc/xxvd /etc/init.d/.
chmod 775 /etc/init.d/xxvd
ln -s /etc/init.d/xxvd /etc/rc2.d/S90xxvd

Start of xxv: 

cd $SOURCEDIR/xxv-<VERSION>
./bin/xxvd --configfile=./xxvd.cfg && tail -f /var/log/xxvd.log

or as service: 

/etc/init.d/xxvd restart

Then a Browser call with the following URL: 

 http://IP_of_yours_vdr:8080

or by telnet 

 telnet [IP of yours vdr or localhost] 8001

User:     xxv
Password: xxv

Plugins

General

General actually is no Plugin. Since it looks in such a way from view of xxv, it should be listed for the sake of the completeness here. Here global attitudes are listed such as log file path, data base server etc..

Manual: http://www.xpix.de/downloads/xxv/doc/General.html

  • Nearly all modules can be deactivated in your function (Configuration -> ModName -> Active = 'no').
  • The Templates is now likewise located and translatable, i.e. the skin programmer can access over the gettext routine the translation data base.

Autotimer

Here the EPG data is scanned for transmissions with a certain text into title, subtitle and text and programmed these as timers.

Manual: http://www.xpix.de/downloads/xxv/doc/AUTOTIMER.html

  • Autotimers can determine whether timers with VPS and own pre and wake are put on.
  • With an update now additionally also the Channelnamen of the found Events is indicated
  • Autotimer - Configuration - exclude: Exclude Channellist over for determines generally exclude channels the search for Events.

Timers

This module permits the deletion, a providing and an editing of the new timers, as well as their representation.

Manual: http://www.xpix.de/downloads/xxv/doc/TIMERS.html

  • Timers referencing now on its EPG entry, if this is present.
  • Inactive timer now deleted if these more than one month in the future to lie. It seemed repeatedly, which a timer was programmed by autotimers, to this because of lack of interest was deactivated. If the timer had run off, it emerged automatically exactly one month later again in the list. These "timer corpses" had to be deleted then always laboriously by hand. Happened now automatically if TIMER - configuration - the Deactive is set on 'yes'.

EPG

Here those becomes epg.data read in and their entries in a database stored.

Manual: http://www.xpix.de/downloads/xxv/doc/EPG.html

  • Events are separately marked, if these are noted as timers.

Channels

Here ' ' channels.conf one reads in and their entries in a database one stores.

Manual: http://www.xpix.de/downloads/xxv/doc/CHANNELS.html

HTTPD

This module puts a server to HTTP as well as a Web interface at the disposal, in order to be able to serve xxv by Browser.

Manual: http://www.xpix.de/downloads/xxv/doc/HTTPD.html

  • A Processbar indicated if processes to be started somewhat longer to last (music to read in again, getCovers)
  • Now a starting side under Preferences - httpd - can be individually specified starting PAGE, (now, program, runs autotimer...)

Telnet

This module puts a server to telnet at the disposal, in order to be able to serve xxv by "telnet localhost port".

Manual: http://www.xpix.de/downloads/xxv/doc/TELNET.html

Interface

This module puts a server to data at the disposal, in order to be able to serve xxv with other GUIs.

Manual: http://www.xpix.de/downloads/xxv/doc/INTERFACE.html

Wapd

This module makes a WapD available server, in order to be able to serve xxv by means of Wap Browser (mobile telephone).

At present still without really function.

Manual: http://www.xpix.de/downloads/xxv/doc/WAPD.html

Music

The MusicPlugin makes a medium library as well as a Icecast available Streamserver.

Manual: http://www.xpix.de/downloads/xxv/doc/MUSIC.html

  • WebInterface: Many user more than 1000 MP3 titles on their had vdr rumlungern, thus thereby Javascript the concept absolutely not thereby clearly came. The new interface is now pure HTML and fortunately also substantially faster in the side structure.
  • GetCovers: This function is a bonus with xxv by means of module the Robot once on the day the Covers of the albums as image files from the InterNet to download can. For it the Perl module WWW::Mechanize which must be installed additionally, is used. This module emulates the normal operation in a Browser, with which a search word (album name, feature year) on the search side of a music portal is entered and suppl.-smooth-eat then scanned for the wished Albumcover. And this Coverbild is then stored in the preview listing and indicated in the album list.

Records

This Plugin represents all recordings clearly and permits different actions on the individual records.

Manual: http://www.xpix.de/downloads/xxv/doc/RECORDS.html

  • The cut marks are represented now graphically in the record overview.
  • Many characteristics of the record are now capable for editing. (Marks, Lifetime, Priorität,...)
  • Andreas took care of the leidigen and substantially unperformanten way of the Preview picture production and a very slim C program named 'vdr2jpeg' wrote. This program does nothing different one than Preview of pictures in the reason with certain marks to provide. This we naturally also supported of xxv and can by "svn co http://bandt.dyndns.org/repos/vdr2jpeg" are gotten. Closer data for installation can reread you in the README file of the program complex.
  • Series, or recordings into a group file are summarized, in rlist as files are indicated.

Config

Configuration the Plugin makes it possible to change and store at run time different parameters of the interface (HTTP, telnet,..).

Manual: http://www.xpix.de/downloads/xxv/doc/CONFIG.html

Grab

Grab makes the live picture available of the VDR as JPEG image file.

Manual: http://www.xpix.de/downloads/xxv/doc/GRAB.html

  • grab ow is able to fade in additional information (e.g. the channel) into the gegrabbte live picture.

Remote

This Plugin represents a remote maintenance and in connection with grave also a live picture. Thus the VDR can be served by interfaces rudimentarily.

Manual: http://www.xpix.de/downloads/xxv/doc/REMOTE.html

Status

Status represents all system information in the interfaces as clear representation.

Manual: http://www.xpix.de/downloads/xxv/doc/STATUS.html


  • A particularly nice feature, it now graphs provided which the memory extent of utilization as well as the load of a certain period (configuration - status - history) to represent. The special to it, which become diagrams from the Templates provided, thus each bent ski programmer its own diagrams if necessary to provide can. In the HTML Skin one can see that very beautiful under status.


SVDRP

This Plugin makes all instructions available svdrp of the interface of the VDR.

Manual: http://www.xpix.de/downloads/xxv/doc/SVDRP.html

User

User authentication, which queries users in all interfaces identification and password and makes a level administration available.

Effectively come at xxvd three different account levels to carry :

  • The normal level of the operating system (Linux)

In this account xxvd executed. The account becomes in the variable RUNAS in /etc/init.d/xxvd defined. So that xxvd within unprivileged accounts can be executed, this account needs reader-genuine in xxv-folder, and write rights to the cfg file, pid file, log files and write rights in the preview folder of the Skins.

  • The Mysql Account

This entrance we only needs around the data in mySQL the data base to respond, therefore it needs reading and write rights within the active xxv-data base (mySQL:DATABASE) (GARANT SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, CREATE, DROP, usw.)

  • And then there is the xxv-account within XXV the user administration.

It serves only for it individual xxv-commands to de-energise or close. Momentarily this is possible only in the three groups guest, user, admin.

  • guest, may data such as EPG data or Recordings regard
  • user, such as autotimers, timer may change data
  • admin, user may administer

The standard entrance after new installation has the following Login and should over the xxv-user administration when de-energising in InterNet be deleted or changed. 

Login:xxv 
Passwort: xxv

If XXV only in the local area network one uses, the xxv-user administration can be switched off also completely in the preferences. 

[USER]
Active=n

Manual: http://www.xpix.de/downloads/xxv/doc/USER.html

  • Certain parameters can be stopped now with the user. We use a generic system, if for example the user liked to see xpix only the Skin Snow can one in the user attitudes under 'Prefs' with 'HTTPD::HtmlRoot=snow' adjust very beautifully. Naturally one can assign also all other parameters of the modules to the user, e.g. we would like additional, which the user xpix only timer may define, whose priority is only with 30. That would look in such a way then:
   HTTPD::HtmlRoot=snow, TIMERS::Priority=30

The syntax reads thus 'Modulname::Parameter=Value, Modulname::Parameter=Value...'... if the user xpix also only as Level=User is adjusted, can one thus prevent the this its attitudes changes.

  • The user can make also a Logout now.

Vtx

This module indicates teletext sides.

Manual: http://www.xpix.de/downloads/xxv/doc/VTX.html

Skins install

Possible the Web interface in completely different appearance is to be able to be represented. But one must download oneself only the desired Skin and unpack the package in $SOURCEDIR : 

cd $SOURCEDIR
wget http://www.deltab.de/vdr/xxv-stone-0.40.tgz
tar zxvf xxv-stone-0.40.tgz

or the current conditions by subversion 

cd $SOURCEDIR
svn checkout http://bandt.dyndns.org/repos/XXV-Skins

By unpacking a new folder with the name should stone developed with the data of the Skin its. Subsequently, one calls the Web interface (http://ip_yours_vdrs:8080) and subordinates the new names of the Skin Preferences -> HTTPD -> HtmlRoot . Only with Senddata activate the changed Skin. And with complete reloading the xxv-web page in the Browser (IE - key F5), which representation and the Cache of the Browser aktualiseren.

Naturally one can directly edit also the configuration file and again start xxv thereafter: 

cd $HOMEDIR
nano .xxvd.cfg

[HTTPD]
Clients=5
HtmlRoot=stone
Port=8080

/etc/init.d/xxvd restart

Probleme

  • I have mean vdr on 1.3.26 - 27 updates and uses xxv V0.42. I can no more recordings in the interface see

In these versions Klaus had something at the SVDRP interface screwed, thus XXV nothing more thereby to begin could. Either you update your XXV by subversion or you use a Patch which we on the following URL published:

http://www.vdr-portal.de/board/thread.php?postid=322895#post322895

If you should c't distribution to use, then update your xxv package by apt-get, afterwards the error should not arise any longer.

* is  mplayer switched on under Records->config->mplayercommand?
* correct version under Records->config->mplayercommand?
* the path is correct to the video folder?
* the preview folder is writable for xxvd?

Consider also, the preview pictures in the background are generated. That means only after a small while is the first Previews to see (approx. 2min).


  • No Previewimages is provided and in xxvd_mplayer.log stands:
Unknown option on the command line: jpeg

Adjust simply the appropriate Player, which is installed on your system. MPlayer1.0pre5 and older as well as MPlayer1.0pre6 and more again. You get the version number of yours mplayers with mplayer v to see:

  • in the log file the following warning emerges:
11 (10305) [03:27:27 03.02.2005] [Fatal] Cannot build telnet initial socket.

You must specify another port number for the telnet server in ~/.xxvd.cfg. The port which you used want, is probably already occupied.


  • in the log file from time to time the following warnings emerge:
 37 (805) [12:01:34 02/02/05] Can't locate object method "timers" via package    "XXV::MODULES::EPG" (perhaps you forgot to load "XXV::MODULES::EPG"?) at   /root/XXV/bin/../lib/Template/Stash.pm line 650.

These messages can be ignored. Perl tries to call by eval a method.


  • When starting the following warning appears:
 Start bin/xxvd: perl: warning: Setting locale failed.
 perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings:
 LANGUAGE = (unset),
 LC_ALL = (unset),
 LANG = "de_DE@euro"
 are supported and installed on your system.
 perl: warning: Falling back to the standard locale ("C").

A cause is, which bring along xxvd appropriate located texts, but on the computer no system localization of the same name is present. Suppressing this message goes with "export PERL_BADLANG=1", but more meaningfully it is to be likewise installed the system localization in the selected language.
