I have seen your post on the OE forums but I can't help with XVDR. I don't have this kind of problem with VNSI.

EDIT: fritsch was faster Smile
Hmmm, unfortunately VDR on OE comes bundled only with XVDR support Sad
Both VNSI and XVDR addons are installed but only XVDR is enabled and allowed.
Here are fresh logs of both xbmc and messages

Can't nothing be done?
VNSI or XVDR, I don't care which one to use I just want live tv functioning back again Smile
Maybe you could convince OE guys to include VNSI VDR plugin?
Thanks

I'll talk to the OE guys.

EDIT: Why don't you use this build: http://openelec.tv/forum/132-xvba-amd/29...t=80#41930

The link doesn't work anymore - http://81.166.34.221/openelec/patch-test...79.tar.bz2 . Where to find ?

Actually, the problem I'm experiencing is with build 11679 from there.
Just a headsup for anybody running into problems when upgrading drivers from Ubuntu-provided to the newest 12.8.

I used this guide to remove the driver.
Then I installed the newest 12.8 version using this guide.

Then I checked in the console if everything went right by entering "fglrxinfo" and I got this:

Quote:X Error of failed request: BadRequest (invalid request code or no such operation)
Major opcode of failed request: 139 (ATIFGLEXTENSION)
Minor opcode of failed request: 66 ()
Serial number of failed request: 13
Current serial number in output stream: 13

instead of this:

Quote:display: :0.0 screen: 0
OpenGL vendor string: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.
OpenGL renderer string: AMD Radeon HD 6530D
OpenGL version string: 4.2.11762 Compatibility Profile Context

THE SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM IS you need to delete the line:
Code:
blacklist fglrx
(either by deleting or inserting # in front of the line)
in
Code:
/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-local.conf

Then a reboot and everything should work fine Rofl

Hope its useful to some, I just wasted 2 hours... Wink
Hi there

I've upgraded to Ubuntu 12.04 from 11, and I've noticed that seek during music playback no longer works (though I don't know if it was that or installing latest xbmc build). Rather the seek bar appears "SEEKING", but doesn't disappear, and further seeking becomes impossible. Seeking during video playback is fine.

I enabled debugging and noticed there is a Window Init (DialogSeekBar.xml), but not a deinit, until I stop playback altogether. If I remove and install team-xbmc-unstable then behaviour is normal.

I've tried different skins, removing my .xbmc folder etc to no avail.

I'm using the 27 July build.

Any ideas? Would a full debug log help?

@CBX2012:
Which exact version did you try? xbmc-xvba-eden or xbmc-xvba of July 27th?
xbmc-xvba - note I'm using oneiric ppa:

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/wsnipex/xbmc-xvba/ubuntu oneiric main


Should I be using xbmc-xvba-eden?
@CBX2012:
Nope, this version was fine. I was afraid a "fix" to the eden branch has caused this behaviour. Within the next days an upstream rebase will happen - keep it a bit of time as currently there is holiday time. After some testing this version will then be included into xbmc-xvba. Let's see if it gets fixed by this rebase.
you should be using the precise package Wink
that might not solve the issue, but the oneiric is definitely not correct.
OK - thanks for the quick reponse and info.

Note that just for fun I did install the eden branch - the seek behaviour is now fine. Though there's no sound and playing the audio settings hasn't helped so far!

I'll probably just go back to xbmc-xvba and wait.

Thanks again.
@wsnipex:
thx - just came back to edit my entry and was happy, that you already added this point :p

@CBX2012:
Follow the howto at the beginning of this thread to get Audio working.
Turns out I had 2 xbmc.bin processes - killed them both now audio is fine again.

Thanks for the replies.

Using xbmc-xvba-eden for now (don't know what the difference between the 2 branches is anyway).
Hi. I took some time today and check what is going on with VDR PVR clients on OE frodo builds. The reason I did this is that some people are complaining that VDR clients don't work on latest OE frodo builds. And those people are right. Here is the current status:
- we newer had vnsi server enabled in VDR on OE. We only have VNSI PVR Client which should still work, but only if you connect to VDR which is not installed on OE
- we have xvdr server enabled in OE VDR. But currently XVDR PVR Client is broken as there was a lot of changes lately in PVR Client code. We will inform XVDR PVR Client developer and hope that he will fix it as soon as possible.
