XBMC 12.2 and VDR 2.0.0 - jspudich - 2013-06-07
Hi,
I cannot make XBMC and VDR work together. A configuration of the system is as follows:
- vdr 2.0.0 (the link points to output of vdr -V)
- vdr-plugin-vnsi: source code downloaded from the GitHub repository opdenkamp / xbmc-pvr-addons , branch frodo; I could not use the FernetMenta repository as the frodo branch in that repository contains vnsi v.4 which is not compatible with the XBMC version referred below
- XBMC: 12.2 Frodo Git 32b1a5e, VNSI addon v. 1.6.4 (all packaged as OpenELEC v.3.0.3 for RPi)
Here are links to the relevant XBMC and VDR logs.
From a user perspective, a symptom of the problem is such that upon starting XBMC, it loads EPG not only from a database but also from the backend (i.e. VDR). When a channel (FTA) gets selected, XBMC shortly says "working" and then "VDR VNSI lost signal" (or whatever the message is, I may not remember it right).
VDR is run using the following command line:
Code:
vdr -P'vnsiserver3'Could someone give me a hint on how to make XBMC 12.2 work with VDR 2.0.0? Thank you in advance.
RE: XBMC 12.2 and VDR 2.0.0 - FernetMenta - 2013-06-07
looks like vdr fails tuning to the channel:
frontend 0/0 timed out while tuning to channel 11, tp 212525
are you sure, your drivers work correctly:
Jun 7 10:36:57 localhost vdr: [16114] ERROR: can't query delivery systems on frontend 0/0 - falling back to legacy mode

Yes, you were absolutely right with vdr failing to tune a channel. The reason for this was that vdr (while using the vnsi plugin) chose to use the DVB device 0 which did not have an LNB attached. On the other hand, vdr running with the streamdev-server plugin used the DVB device 1 (which had an LNB attached). Simply put, using the -D 1 option when invoking vdr made the trick. All working fine now. Thanks.
BTW, FernetMenta, thank you for all your good work for and commitment to the XBMC community.
