[Network Mode] Sometimes Blackscreen after switching Channel

[3PO]

Hi, in some rare cases ich get a Blackscreen after a channelswitch. In this case, dvbapi write something like this into the logfile:

--> http://bpaste.net/show/qNz0ElcYlXmfLGruBnm0/

If this behavior is happen, olny a restart of the vdr helps to fix this Problem. I dont know, how i can reproduce this strange behavior, but it happens only when the vdr is running a Long time (> 4~5 hrs).

[manio]

This issue needs to be fixed in VDR (if it is possible, maybe it is a dvb driver problem). I think it is failing because VDR cannot add another PID:

[vdr] [17843] ERROR: no free slot for PID 6808 on device 2

One way or another - this is not a dvbapi plugin problem. Please ask or report to VDR. Closing.

[3PO]

[...] Please ask or report to VDR

I dont know who or where i should ask? I think, the best way is, switching back to the "normal" mode, with having a local oscam running. ;)

Just for information:

I've fixed this Problem:

[vdr] [17843] ERROR: no free slot for PID 6808 on device 2

by changing the Parameter "MAXPIDHANDLES" from 64 to 128 in "$VDRDIR/device.h"

Thanks

It seems, the Problem above was not the only one.....

In "Network Mode" i get sometimes a Blackscreen.
But there is no reasonable issue in the Logfile:

If i switch one channel up and down again, it works as expected.

This behavior is only in "Network Mode" !

You may report about it to VDR. My plugin does not obtain "decode request" so it is not decoding. Maybe it is related with CAM assigning. If I remember correctly you have identical problem in socket mode. Nevertheless it is not a dvbapi plugin issue.

[3PO]

unfortunately the Problem seems be back. :(

This happens sometimes while switchin from a encoded channel, to an other encoded channel:

... and unfortunately the problem is still not in dvbapi plugin! My plugin doesn't obtain "decode request" after stopping (see in your log). As I said before - please report it elsewhere. I don't see a problem in the plugin. I am only listening what VDR wants from a CAM.

Just for comprehension....

I use vdr-2.1.6 which is patched with "vdr-2.1.6-dvbchan-ca.patch" and "vdr-2.1.6-catemmpids-02.diff".

Maybe there is a further Patch availible and/or necessary?

[manio]

I am using clean 2.1.6 + vdr-2.1.6-catemmpids-02.diff. And only two plugins: xvdr and dvbapi.

[3PO]

This means, i shoud remove "vdr-2.1.6-dvbchan-ca.patch"?

[manio]

I don't know - i just don't have it applied.
