Hi ! I currently try to track down a problem of externalplayer and xineliboutput. The problem is, that if used with xineliboutput plugin and PlayMode pmNone, one device is not available. With xine this does not happen. May assumption is that here: device.c: 641 m_PlayMode = PlayMode; 642 643 TrickSpeed(-1); 644 if (m_PlayMode == pmAudioOnlyBlack) { 645 TRACE("pmAudioOnlyBlack --> BlankDisplay, NoVideo"); 646 ForEach(m_clients, &cXinelibThread::BlankDisplay); 647 ForEach(m_clients, &cXinelibThread::SetNoVideo, true); 648 } else { 649 if(m_liveMode) 650 ForEach(m_clients, &cXinelibThread::SetNoVideo, m_RadioStream); 651 else 652 ForEach(m_clients, &cXinelibThread::SetNoVideo, 653 m_RadioStream && (m_AudioCount<1)); 654 Clear(); 655 } An action is missing to take care of pmNone, i.e. to stop trying to receive and decode something. This is the Problem: Apr 22 23:41:05 vdr vdr: [3204] receiver on device 2 thread started (pid=2952, tid=3204) Apr 22 23:41:05 vdr vdr: [3204] ERROR: /dev/dvb/adapter1/dvr0: Device or resource busy Apr 22 23:41:05 vdr vdr: [3204] receiver on device 2 thread ended (pid=2952, tid=3204) This does not happen if i use xine, or if i shut down vdr-sxfe before i try to use streamdev oder VNSI plugin. My understanding is that the frontend device needs to do the required action and let vdr know afterwards in order to free the device. Would appreciate if someone with more understanding of the internals could add his opinion here ...
