[FIXED] VDR 1.7.11 and LinuxMCE 0810
« on: February 03, 2010, 10:40:01 pm »
Hi,

Code: [Select]
It's very good that LinuxMCE 0810 includes VDR 1.7.11 instead of 1.6.0. But the problem is that it doesn't work - not picture or sound or even OSD. I don't see any errors in the log except that:

Packages  v4l2-modules and v4l2-firmware are installed from the linuxmce repo. Also DVB API is still 3 and not 5 in the /usr/include/linux/dvb/version.h (package linux-libc-dev). So, probably this cause that problem. It's also impossible to build the plugin because it gives the error:
Code: [Select]
usr/include/vdr/dvbdevice.h:19:2: error: #error VDR requires Linux DVB driver API version 5.0 or higher!Does anybody have working VDR 1.7.11 under LinuxMCE? If so, could you help me and other people who have the same problem to fix it.

TIA

Finally I fixed the problem with VDR 1.7.11 (many thanks to possy and niz23!). First of all, open /etc/vdr/setup.conf and delete all rows started with Sourcecaps (don't forget to stop VDR before). If you still don't have picture check if packages v4l2-modules and v4l2-firmware are installed and installed from linuxmce repository and not from Ubuntu one. And the last check the package libxine1. It's also should be installed from the linuxmce repo. To do that run sudo apt-get dist-upgrade.

Just to make things clear:

If you see No Signal, the reason are the default SourceCaps entries, which will go away shortly.

If you do not see No Signal, and no TV as well, it very well is related to missing v4l2-modules and v4l2-firmware packages, as well as missing or wrong libxine1 package, which can be fixed by a dist-upgrade.
