Thanks a lot for your reply! See my answers in line.

BTW, VDR Wiki states xvmc is supported by Softdevice. http://www.linuxtv.org/vdrwiki/index.php/Softdevice-plugin

So what is the best option to minimize CPU usage with Softdevice ?

Thanks again

Regards,

Eric.

Hi Luke, Hi Martin,

Please could you have a look on the following mail I sent to vdr mailing list ? My graphic card is a NV gfx5200 with tv-out.

Thanks and regards.

I've seen your post on vdr list, and I still don't know what to ask or check. So lets do the usual Qs.

Is it X11 from Xfree or Xorg ? What is the exact version ? (written in /var/log/X.log.???)

xorg-x11-6.8.2

...

Does video appear when you are moving the window ?

No window, bcs no windows/desktop manager. VDR is launch alone from the .Xclients file.

...

Whats the output of command xvinfo ?

Cant reply now as I am at work...

...

All I know is that there are reports from some people that softdevice works with nvidia cards, so it is not hopeless to get your card work too.

Have to look at private mail exchange with Olaf, who had some nvidia troubles too.

...
Eric.

Hi All,

I am trying desperately to have softdevice plugin working on my vdr box.

My config: FC4 nvidia drivers 7174 ffmpeg-0.4.8 vdr-1.3.34 softdevice-0.2.0 or cvs

When vdr starts, the video is displayed but freezed, osd is running correctly, I can open the menu and do what I want. the same for recorded videos. What is strange, if I fast forward my records, it works...

Nothing interesting in /var/log/messages, and console says:

I am not sure how to configure X to use xvmc, didnt find any documentation on that someone to guide me ?

Softdevice has no support for xvmc :-( .

Hi Stefan,

I may found something interesting. Following your advices I add twm in my .Xclients. Same behavior.

But vdr is eating more than 60% of cpu and syslogd the remaining...

I found the following msg in /var/log/messages Nov 4 08:16:46 vdr vdr[2468]: ERROR (transfer.c,124): Invalid Argument Nov 4 08:17:16 vdr last message repeated 378252 times

Is it helping ?

I guess yes. We have to look at total different things, as that's a plain vdr message.

Is your vdr-1.3.34 vanilla or a patched version ? Which DVB driver ? Which DVB hardware do you use ? Is the card correct identified ? Do dvb-apps like dvbscan work ?

I am afraid its a patched one... I'll do tests with vanilla vdr and Softdevice as the only one plugin.

...

Which DVB driver ?

Those ones included in kernel-2.6.11-1.1369_FC4

...

Which DVB hardware do you use ?

SkyStar2

...

Is the card correct identified ?

yep

...

Do dvb-apps like dvbscan work ?

they did long time ago....

Nevertheless, I am currently using vdr-1.3.34 with dxr3-0.2.4 plugin. I remember I had once this msg (ERROR (transfer.c,124): Invalid Argument), and the only way I found was to upgrade dxr3 plugin to cvs, then to 0.2.4 once available. Just to say without Softdevice it works, with Softdevice I have this msg, thus I believe something wrong between vdr and Softdevice.

Thanks and regards,

Eric

Hi Stefan,

I may found something interesting. Following your advices I add twm in my .Xclients. Same behavior.

But vdr is eating more than 60% of cpu and syslogd the remaining...

I found the following msg in /var/log/messages Nov 4 08:16:46 vdr vdr[2468]: ERROR (transfer.c,124): Invalid Argument Nov 4 08:17:16 vdr last message repeated 378252 times

Is it helping ?

I guess yes. We have to look at total different things, as that's a plain vdr message.

If dxr3 works, it should work with softdevice too. Do you load both (dxr3 and softdevice) at the same time ?

No! But i can tell you I launch the dxr3 plugin instead of Softdevice by mistake from my .Xclients and it worked... I mean I heard the sound correctly but didnt see any video as the TV video input was connected on the VGA card. I'll double check this point. Eric.

Hi Stephan,

Starting from a vanilla VDR it works !! Thanks Stephan.

I have an other issue... there is no sound... I checked my kernel modules, sound modules look to be here. In fact, I dont know how to handle the -ao parameter. If I launch Softdevice with -ao alsa, I get an error msg saying it doesnt found apropriaite device. Any track ?

thanks and regards,

Eric.
