XVDR Server won't start... #116

Closed boennhoff closed 10 years ago

boennhoff commented 10 years ago

I am using Gentoo and just switched to systemd, and needed to write my own vdr.service file there. It works so far, but somehow I get the following error in the vdr log:

"XVDR: Unable to start XVDR Server, port already in use ?"

I assume the port 37890 is tried to be aquired, but it definitely is not used by anything else... What could be the reason for this?

Background: I use(d) vdr in its default settings and without any other plugin - its sole purpose is to deliver Live TV functionality to XBMC... After updating everything XBMC was not able to connect to the PVR backend anymore.

The versions i use as of today: XBMC 12.3 vdr 2.0.4 (because it is the last stable) vdr-xvdr (last master commit) xbmc-addon-xvdr (last frodo commit)

The commandline for vdr: vdr --user=vdr --plugin=xvdr

Thanks for any help!

xvdr is using port 34891

Hmm... That information solved my problem! XBMC was not running anymore, but somehow the port was still occupied. A restart did it! I am not used to reboots under linux...

Still, I am sorry for this needless help request, since my initial researches about the port in use were obviously wrong -- maybe the port should be stated somewhere in the README.

Thanks

I suffered the same symptom. The RPC process was still open, locking the port. A reboot resolved it but this should not be happening.
