Hi all!

Just updated XBMCbuntu 11 to Precise 12.10 and XMBC 12b3. Additionally I installed VDR from the yavdr stable repos. But unforunately the VNSI client can not connect to vdr. I get the following messages in the xbmc.log over and over again:

20:17:01 T:2919951168 ERROR: AddOnLog: VDR VNSI Client: SignalConnectionLost - connection lost !!!
20:17:01 T:2919951168 ERROR: AddOnLog: VDR VNSI Client: Login - failed to read greeting from server
20:17:01 T:2919951168 ERROR: ADDON: Dll VDR VNSI Client - Client returned bad status (1) from Create and is not usable
20:17:01 T:2978077504 NOTICE: Thread CAddonStatusHandler:pvr.vdr.vnsi start, auto delete: true
20:17:01 T:2919951168 WARNING: UpdateAndInitialiseClients - failed to create add-on VDR VNSI Client, status = 1

The vdr vnsi plugin still reads 1.6.0 although I tried to update via opdenkamp git repo. Compilation gone right but maybe the installation failed somehow and I don't know how to check. the allowed_hosts.conf includes the local ip range of course.

Any hints really welcome.

Thanks a lot in advance and best regards,
Olly

Are you sure the vdr plugins is running? can you post syslog?

I guess you are interested in those lines:

edit - found an interesting one:

edit #2 - fixed segfault. needed to use --prefix=/usr for ./configure.

oh man... think i got it.

libvdr-vnsiserver.so wasn't copied into /usr/lib/vdr/plugins/ - there was still the old version. Copied it manually and added a symbolic link with the old name. Connection works now...
