Hi first of thanks alot for a great plugin. I have found that I must restart
vdr at least 2 times to get a stable run of vdr with your plugin.
I am using cvs "fbxine"
I am using vdr-1.3.42 and vdr-1.3.41 and vdr-1.3.37
OS debain, with 2.6.15.3 kernel
I start xine with this script:
matroxset -f /dev/fb0 -m 5
matroxset -f /dev/fb1 -m 2
matroxset -f /dev/fb1 -o 1 2
fbset -fb /dev/fb1 "1024x768-60" -depth 16 -laced true
while true
do
/usr/bin/fbxine --stdctl --deinterlace -V DirectFB -A alsa
vdr:/tmp/vdr-xine/stream#demux:mpeg_pes$
sleep 10
I start vdr with this script:
PLUGINS -P'xine -r' -P'remote -i /dev/input/event3' &
So what happens is that I start it, it runs say for about 10 minutes. Then I
loose video but audio is still playing. At that point I still have remote
control response to change channels even though no video. I have to stop vdr
and restart it. But not fbxine its still running. Then I restart vdr and get
stable continuous play.
Thanks

> Hi,
>
> I'm pleased to announce Valentine's release 0.7.7:
>
> http://home.vr-web.de/~rnissl/vdr-xine-0.7.7.tgz
>
> 2006-02-14: Version 0.7.7
>
> - Updated MANUAL (thanks to Ville Skytt? for supplying the patch).
> - Added Dutch translation (thanks to Maarten Wisse for supplying the
> patch).
> - Fixed auto primary device functionality concerning ActualDevice
> (thanks to Luca Olivetti for reporting this issue).
> - Shutting down cOsdProvider when vdr-xine is nolonger primary device
> to fix an issue where the new primary device doesn't register it's
> own cOsdProvider instance.
> - Fixed cXineDevice::SetDigitalAudioDevice() for radio channels with
> multiple audio tracks (e. g. RADIO INT2). These tracks are not
> related to each other and therefore syncing these tracks by PTS is
> impossible and causes huge delays otherwise.
> - Adopted cXineDevice::GrabImage() to VDR-1.3.38 (based on a patch of
> Darren Salt).
> - Fixed some issues with FIFO_DIR containing spaces (thanks to Darren
> Salt for supplying the patch).
> - Fixed some warnings about strict-aliasing issues when compiling with
> gcc-4.1 (thanks to Ville Skytt? for reporting this issue).
> - Added two new command line arguments (-X / -Y) to change the default
> image size for GrabImage(). Internally, they are predefined as
> -X 720 and -Y 576.
> - Dropped the Audio-Mode setup option for VDR >= 1.3.18 as VDR's audio
> menu and PlayPes() took over sending just a single audio stream to
> the output device.
> - Fixed implementation of cXineDevice::Clear(), which speeds up jumping
> back and forth in recordings. A stresstest showed that from time to
> time a deadlock happened in libasound (ALSA) when xine is opening the
> audio device. You may experience a problem too if you stay on the
> GREEN button at the beginning of a recording. On my system it caused
> segfaults, asserts and deadlocks while xine is opening the ALSA
> audio device. I'd be glad if someone could fix this issue.
> Anyway, I hope that this change partitially fixes the delay on some
> systems which happened when switching to trickspeed modes while
> replaying a recording.
> - Added support for VDR's new info key.
> - Tried to get xine's ffmpeg decoder to work with vdr-xine, but failed.
> - Had xine CVS take over a couple of my xine patches.
> - Tuned xine-lib's startcode scanner in libmpeg2.
> - Adapted vdr-xine to VDR-1.4.41 changed detection of transfer mode.
> - Adapted vdr-xine to VDR-1.4.42 changed cDevice::PlayAudio().
> - Replaced noSignal*.pes with noSignal*.mpg. vdr-xine will complain
> about a missing noSignal.mpg. Just copy the new files from the source
> directory to the mentioned location as mentioned in INSTALL.
> - Changed buffering completely. When VDR switches to a channel, xine
> starts replaying at 12.5 % of normal speed. Then vdr-xine monitors
> the stream's PTS values and compares them to the value which xine
> reports. The difference between VDR's and xine's value makes up the
> currently gained buffer. When the buffer reaches the configured size
> then xine switches to 100 % speed.
> ATTENTION: this change requires you to reduce the configured
> prebuffer in vdr-xine's setup page to about 8 frames!
> - Updated MANUAL and INSTALL accordingly.
