[dubstar_04]

btw - did you install any patches for vdr 1711 and streamdev ?

no i just compiled the basic source code and it seems to work well with xbmc.

[Goga777]

strange - here is http://xbmc.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/x...v/patches/

several patches for vdr and streamdev

why they need then ?

btw - another pvr2 video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fi0VcpWoSxY

[dubstar_04]

strange - here is http://xbmc.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/x...v/patches/

several patches for vdr and streamdev

why they need then ?

Some of the patches are quite old and may well be included in the source.

I will build VDR with the patches next week and see what difference it makes.

Некоторые пятна довольно старая и вполне может быть включено в источнике.

Я создам VDR с пятнами на следующей неделе и посмотрим, что он делает разницы.

[Goga777]

I have tested vdr 1711 + svn pvr2 + cvs streamdev (I didn't install any patches). I have very unstable work - xbmc very often hunged up, the channels aren't switching

any clue ?

[pkrzaczk]

HI,

I found some radio and tv channels that won't work in xbmc-pvr ... but
they seam to work great in vdr-xine configuration and even in vdr-
streamdev when watching the channel throught VLC player.

The Tv channels are encoded so You won't be able to test them ... but i
found one FTA radio station that doesn't work either. It's a polish radio
station on S13.0E sataelite.

This is the radio channel You can test on .. its FTA:
ZLOTE PRZEBOJE;CYFROWY POLSAT
S.A.:12284:HC34M2O0S0:S13.0E:27500:0:4369=POL:0:0:10519:113:7900:0

The xbmc log: http://krzaczek.pastebin.com/m54e04358

The only difference between a working channel and one that doesn't work i
found in xbmc log is

20:59:44 T:139910994147600 M:1505427456 INFO: ffmpeg[911B3910]: No
Program

I have no idea what it means .. but it's the only difference .. the video
and audio streams are under No Program .. when on a working channel it's
something like Program XXXX.

Some info:
Ubuntu 9.10
xbmc-pvr rev 26948 from the prv-testing2
vdr 1.7.10 with streamdev-server 0.5.0-pre with patches from
xbmc/pvrclients/vdr-streamdev/patches/

[Goga777]

with svn pvr2 branch _ cvs streamdev with parent rate patch and vdr 1711 I have very instable work - sometimes xbmc crashed, sometimes hung up. IN log I can see a lot of messages like this

Hi Goga7777

To get rid of these messages You have to apply some patches to the streamdev-server
- streamdev-cvs221109-AddFemonV1.diff - this will remove the SignalQuality error
"Client returns bad error (-3) after SignalQuality"
- streamdev-cvs221109-AddCallbackMsg.diff - this will remove the "Failed with code: 500 (Unknown Command "LSTQ")" from what I can rememeber

You can find theme here:
http://trac.xbmc.org/browser/branches/pv...ev/patches

Pawel

[Goga777]

thanks - will do it
I supposed that those patches already in cvs streamdev

[dubstar_04]

Does the search function work for anyone?

[dubstar_04]

The following is a very brief look at how i build VDR for testing with xbmc.

please note this is not a complete how to and does not cover things like dependencies or build tools.

Make a vdr directory in your home folder and move to it:

Code:

mkdir -v vdr

cd vdr

Download VDR:

Code:

wget ftp://ftp.tvdr.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-1.7.11.tar.bz2

Download streamdev:

Code:

cvs -d:pserver:[email protected]:/var/cvsroot co streamdev

Unarchive VDR:

Code:

tar -xf vdr-1.7.11.tar.bz2

change directory into the vdr file:

Code:

cd vdr-1.7.11

Copy the Make.config file and edit it:

Code:

cp Make.config.template Make.config

Code:

gedit Make.config

This is what i use for my system:

LOCDIR = /usr/lib/locale
PLUGINDIR= ./PLUGINS
PLUGINLIBDIR= /usr/lib/vdr/plugins
VIDEODIR = /media/media/vdr
CONFDIR = /etc/vdr

Copy Streamdev to plugins folder:

Code:

cp -r ~/vdr/streamdev streamdev

Return to the vdr folder, then make VDR and plugins and install from a .deb:

Code:

cd ../../

sudo make

sudo make plugins

sudo checkinstall --fstrans=no --install=yes --pkgname=vdr --pkgversion "1.7.11"

Once VDR has been installed move the streamdev folder to the plugins folder;

Code:

sudo cp -r ~/vdr/vdr-1.7.11/PLUGINS/src/streamdev/streamdev /etc/vdr/plugins/streamdev

place your channels.conf in /etc/vdr

This is how i scan for channels (Northwest UK):

Channel Scanning with w_scan:

w_scan -ft -c GB -o7 >> channels.conf

or

Channel Scanning with scan:

scan -o vdr -u /usr/share/dvb/dvb-t/uk-WinterHill > channels.conf

set up access to vdr and streamdev:

Code:

sudo gedit /etc/vdr/svdrphosts.conf

Code:

sudo gedit /etc/vdr/plugins/streamdev/streamdevhosts.conf

start vdr and streamdev:

Code:

vdr -P streamdev-server

as a daemon:

Code:

vdr -d -P streamdev-server

Please bear in mind that i only use this for testing and this does not include any patches.

Thanks,

Dubstar_04

I recommend to use scan-s2 with s2 api support instead of scan
http://mercurial.intuxication.org/hg/scan-s2/

I'm using also these 3 patches for cvs streamdev

The patch http://xbmc.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/x...h?view=log

I didn't install - no need

very-very often I have situation when xbmc hung up (freezing) after of switching on some channel - see the full log on pastebin for SVN:27127

here is another xbmc_crashlog-20100124_192111.log
It happened when I tried during of watching dvb mpeg2 channel to choice the schannels list
http://pastebin.com/f34c12c75

[rdoac]

I am using the latest svn (as of today) and now have a new problem with the epg. I am in the US/Chicago timezone, my date command in linux shows

date
Mon Jan 25 09:29:51 CST 2010

I also have xmbc set for Chicago, however the epg info, once loaded says "No info available" for every channel. When I go into a channel and have a look at the schedule for the day, listings start about 6 hours later, although the times are correct on the schedule. My guess is that some code was introduced that hardcoded a GMT or equivalent timezone test to make sure that expired epg entries don't show up, unfortunately, this throws away 6 hours of epg..

Also, I use the pvrinput plugin. For some reason, radio channels do not work, although tv does. An example channels.conf line for radio is:

Code:

FM 103.1MHz-WGFB;Adult Contemporary:103100:PVRINPUT|RADIO:P:0:0:300:305:0:1452:0:0:0

[splinux]

Code:

gedit Make.config

This is what i use for my system:

LOCDIR = /usr/lib/locale
PLUGINDIR= ./PLUGINS
PLUGINLIBDIR= /usr/lib/vdr/plugins
VIDEODIR = /media/media/vdr
CONFDIR = /etc/vdr

Copy Streamdev to plugins folder:


Dubstar_04

Is the STREAMDEVEXT=1 and PARENTALRATING=1 not necessary anymore ?
Also for vdr-1.7.10 ?

thanks
