Re: [vdr] VDR 1.5.10, Subtitles gets out of sync

[vdr] [ANNOUNCE] VDR developer version 1.5.11
VDR developer version 1.5.11 is now available at ftp://ftp.cadsoft.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-1.5.11.tar.bz2 A 'diff' against the previous developer version is available at ftp://ftp.cadsoft.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-1.5.10-1.5.11.diff WARNING: This is a *developer* version. Even though *I* use it in my productive environment, I strongly recommend that you only use it under controlled conditions and for testing and debugging. The changes since version 1.5.10: - Fixed checking compatibility mode for old subtitles plugin (thanks to Marco Schlüßler). - Updated the French OSD texts (thanks to Michael Nival). - Updated the Estonian OSD texts (thanks to Arthur Konovalov). - Updated the Italian OSD texts (thanks to Diego Pierotto). - The Play key now starts replay of the selected recording in the Recordings menu (thanks to Ville Skyttä); - Improved shutdown handling (thanks to Udo Richter). - Housekeeping now waits for a while after a replay has ended (thanks to Udo Richter). - Added more special characters to the list of allowed characters when entering strings (thanks to Thomas Günther). - Added Ukrainian language texts (thanks to Yarema Aka Knedlyk). - Added a workaround for recovering from wrongfully interpreted pre 1.3.19 PS1 packets. - Fixed a possible blocking in replay when subtitles are active. - Fixed displaying subtitles in live mode. - Fixed handling CONFDIR (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - Added some missing 'const' keywords (thanks to Sascha Volkenandt). - The 'Allowed' parameter in cMenuEditStrItem() is now NULL by default, which results in using tr(FileNameChars) (suggested by Thomas Günther). - Added a missing '.' to the date returned by DayDateTime() (thanks to Lauri Nurmi). - Improved the 'i18n' target in the Makefile to avoid unnecessary work (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt). The 'newplugin' and 'i18n-to-gettext.pl' scripts have been changed accordingly. Plugin authors may want to adjust the 'i18n' target of their Makefiles. - Fixed a crash if no fonts are found (thanks to Mario Ivankovits and Clemens Kirchgatterer). - Fixed decoding filename characters in case there are not two hex digits after the '#' (reported by Helmut Auer). *When reporting problems, please don't reply to this message!* Create a new thread instead, using a descriptive subject!

The clients would only read this once at program start.
I don't think this would be a good idea...
An EPG 'slave mode' could check the file timestamp of the EPG file from
time to time and reload EPG on written updates, eg. once a hour or on
master VDR shutdown. Would be a nice low-tech EPG distribution method.
This could even be done by a plugin: VDR runs with -E-, and the plugin
watches the real epg file. From the main loop, the plugin could do
something like this:
time_t lastModified = LastModifiedTime(WatchedFile);
if (lastUpdate lastModified) {
cSchedulesLock SchedulesLock;
if (cSchedules::ClearAll() cSchedules::Schedules(SchedulesLock)) {
cSchedules::SetEpgDataFileName(WatchedFile);
cSchedules::Read();
cSchedules::SetEpgDataFileName(NULL);
lastUpdate = lastModified;
}
}
(untested, though)
Now just someone has to write the plugin around it. ;)
Cheers,
Udo

Thanks for the quick answer. I actually forgot to remove the old xxvd from /etc/init.d, so it pointed to my old (removed) xxv installation. XXV now starts up and, according to the logfile, reads the recordings (there are plenty of them) but finally fails with this line: 1022 (550) [2007-11-04 19:12:30] Modification of a read-only value attempted at /usr/local/lib/xxv/Tools.pm line 154.

[vdr] vdr-1.5.11 subtitling problems
Hi, I'm having heavy artifacts with the new vdr-1.5.11 in finnish DVB channels. The picture freezes now very often compared to previous VDR version (I reported about the same rare problem in vdr-1.5.10) and it seems that the problem is the new SUBTITLE_PACKS size. I reverted it back to 2048 and haven't noticed the problem after that. During the freeze VDR's transfer buffer gets full and VDR is clearing transfer buffer to avoid overflows. This happens only on channels with DVB subtitling. I'm using 4MB FF card as a primary device, if that makes any difference.
