1.9.4 is current version in official repo. What is the problem with vdr 2.1.2? Where did you get the vdr vnsi plugin from?

[eroxm]

I've tried now with the vnsi5 branch and compiled the server and the addon out of your sources. It seemed to be successful. In XBMC the addon now shows as 1.9.5. How can I check if the vnsi server is running correctly and which version? XBMC is still showing error message "VDR VNSI Client: Verbindung unterbrochen" every few seconds.

Maybe some logs are helpful:

dmesg
cat ~/.xbmc/temp/xbmc.log

If you need something more please tell me.

Code:

VDR VNSI Client: Open - failed to connect to the backend (Connection refused)

Is your problem I guess? Did you check your syslog? I would guess you get a message there too. Make sure you allow the vnsi plugin to connect to the vnsiserver. Check allowed_hosts and edit if needed

Code:

/etc/vdr/plugins/vnsiserver5/allowed_hosts.conf

[eroxm]

Everythings seems to be correct there since localhost is allowed. VDR seems to get automaticly terminated after a few seconds. I looked into the syslog and there's something more specific:

Code:

Nov 25 22:18:49 xbmc vdr: [1712] VDR version 2.1.2 started
Nov 25 22:18:49 xbmc vdr: [1712] switched to user 'vdr'

[EDIT]

Got it to work! The filename of the plugin was wrong. It was libvdr-vnsiserver5.so.2.0.0, after renaming it to 2.1.2 it worked.

[eroxm]

Today I updated to latest vdr (2.1.4), but after that vnsi isn't working anymore. Just renaming the plugin to libvdr-vnsiserver5.so.2.1.4 didn't work, so I tried to compile a fresh one. I get the following errors:

Code:

Anybody having an idea what I did wrong or what is going wrong?

fixed in my vnsi5 branch

[lordzerg]

can i ask sometothing about VDR here its offtopic but i dont know who to ask and i cant find vdr support, its about :
when i compile version 2.0 everything is working ok but i dont have locals and i need the cyrilic so i can see EPG in my language for some reason localisations not work when i was using 1.9 and 1.8 they worked . also i miss good start/stop script i modified my old script to work with 2.0

i see you guys using 2.1.4 now is it ok with locals and start script so i can upgrade my 2.0 to 2.1.4 ?

Hello ,
I have problem with compilation vnsi server 1.1.0. It is possible to compile it with vdr.1.7.17?
I have this error:

server5"' -DVNSI_SERVER_VERSION='"1.1.0"' -I/usr/local/src/dvb/linux/include -I/usr/local/src/vdr/include -o videobuffer.o videobuffer.c

The oldest version of vdr this plugin supports is 1.7.22 which is bundled with Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. So this change in vdr must have been introduced between 1.7.17 and 1.7.22

When I try to compile vdr-plugin-vnsiserver I get:

What can I try?

I tried just "make" without parameters. And everything worked flawlessly. Perfect!
