ERROR: SQL: [TV29] Successful result

Hello,

I am running the latest LibreELEC 8.2.2 with Kodi 17.6 and the Kodi VNSI-Client. Unfortunally the log is filled with SQL errors. I turned on debug and got the following:

Code:

Before the first line quoted here all other 2709 channels are listed. I also see these errors with the radio channels. And these messages do repeat themselves at least every minute, most of the time a lot more often.

What I really don't understand is why I get an ERROR and a successful result behind. Also the query does work, I tested it in my MySQL console. Oh, by the way, I switched to MySQL for the TV29 database, but these errors are not new, they existed also before I switched from the default database system.

Any idea?

unable to open clientspecific settings after update

$

0
After installing a new build of kodi 18 I am no longer able to open clientspecific settings in pvr & tv section. It seems liks kodi is totally unresponsive when selecting the entry. Settings have remained unchanged and vdr/kodi is running smoothly as before. Just that I can't access the vdr osd and settings any more.

vdr 2.3.8 is installed locally with currently only vnisserver and ddci2 plugin active

When selecting the menu entry only these lines are added to syslog:
Quote:Jan 11 01:17:11 kodi-mc vdr: [1240] loading /var/lib/vdr/plugins/vnsiserver/allowed_hosts.conf

Jan 11 01:17:11 kodi-mc vdr: [1244] VNSI: Client with ID 31 seems to be disconnected, removing from client list
Is this a known issue wth the recent code or what else can I do to help troubleshoot?

Edit:
It's interesting, though, that when I open the clientspecific settings menu from another vnsi client (RPI3 running kodi 17.6/LE 8.2.2) which accesses the same vdr on the above host, I am getting the osd and settings displayed correctly and syslog shows:
Quote:Jan 11 02:08:14 kodi-mc vdr: [1239] loading /var/lib/vdr/plugins/vnsiserver/allowed_hosts.conf

Jan 11 02:08:14 kodi-mc vdr: [2533] VNSI: new osd provider
So to me it looks like the issue is only present in the new kodi 18 code. With previous kodi 18 alpha code, like from a week ago, I am pretty sure it was also still working.

Info Text during Live TV auto-closes after a few seconds

$
0
0
Probably not unique to Live TV with vdr/vnsi, but I noticed that unlike in previous releases the info text that appears when pressing "i" in LIve TV auto-closes after a few seonds. However, when playing movies it works as expected and only closes after pressing "i" once again.

Nothing severe, but since Kodi 18 is surprisingly mature and stable for an alpha release this is one of the few flaws that caught my attention.

Let me know if this needs to be reported in a different section of the forum.

v18 - Thumbnail pictures for recordings

$
0
0
This is not an actual issue and more out of curiosity: I think there was a vague announcement that with kodi 18 there will be autoextracted thumbnails for recordings.

Installing the latest kodi 18 nightly which already looks pretty mature and "final" to me, I cannot see that this has become available yet. Has this feature been completely abandonned or will it be introduced with later releases or even in kodi 18 final?

v18 - fast forward and rewind issues in live tv with recent nightly

$
0
0
I am running on Kodi-18.0-ALPHA1 Git:20180216-0fcc225-dirty.
It seems at least rewind is broken in live-tv with timeshift activated (I tested both FILE and RAM setting). Also fast forward produces some strange artefacts/flashing. Playing recordings or videos it all seems to work just fine.

v18 - Show channel info setting delays channel switching

$
0
0
This is propably not specfic to VNSI/VDR, but as it occurs only in Live TV and since there is no general PVR section I thought I might tryi my luck here. Please move this thread to different section if appropriate.

I also tested this with two different skins (Confluence and Estuary) to make sure it is not a single skin issue.

What I observe is that when I set 'Show channel info when switching channels' in PVR settings to anything > 0 secs  it seems to (significantly) delay channel switching; sometimes up to several seconds. This seems due to the previously reported fact that the channel info is initially displayed with an empty text and then populated with the actual channel info which also delays appearing of the Live TV stream.

Furthermore, while the info box appears for the set amount of time, the actual info appears for much less time due to the delay, making it sometimes unreadable in the remaining seconds.

I've now set 'Show channel info' to 'off' and channel switching is acceptably fast. Not sure if the appearance of the info text can be accelerated, however, I think it is not meant to delay bringing up the live tv stream.

If I remember correctly from previous releases, e.g. Kodi 17, the correct channel info was displayed instantly and zapping was without delay. Looks like it is handled differently in Kodi 18.

Interesting discussion regarding handling of scrambled packets in vnsiserver

Hi FernetMenta,

perhaps you are already aware. I'd like to direct your attention to an ongoing discussion at vdr-portal.de. If In understand correctly, they propose changes in vnsiserver to allow for a better handling of scrambled packets in combination with DD CI devices. I assume the language is not an issue for you Wink

Kodi restart after the crash is faster than the tv coming up, so I usually don't really notice. However, I was puzzled by the amount of crashlogs in my home dir and found some were due to the same segfault.

The system shuts off vdr and unloads dvb drivers on standby and reloads drivers and starts vdr with a delay of approx. 5 secs after resume. I have other crashes due to a segfault in libcec4, but I assume this is unrelated.

Any hint?

KODI, VDR and H.265 (5.1 Audio) and VNSI Plugin

$
0
0
I have the following setup: A small PC with VDR 2.3.8 as the server. As the client I tested a Vero4K and Linux Clients. On both clients with KODI 17.x (I tried several versions) there are dropouts in Sound when the Sound is 5.1. (Stereo sound works without problems).
This behaviour is found when playing Live TV or recordings from Live TV.
When I play the same over vlc, the sound is ok. So I think it's a problem with the plugin.
Has anyone experiences with this setup?

Thanks

I created a zip file of the pvr.vdr.vnsi directory from xbmc/addons/pvr.vdr.vnsi directory.
I attempt to install this addon using the install from ZIP file option in Kodi.

I get this error:
ERROR: CAddonInstallJob[pvr.vdr.vnsi]: The dependency on kodi.binary.global.gui version 5.12.0 could not be satisfied.

I am using Kodi 17.6 Git:Unknown

What should/can I do?

I can reproduce this (often but not always) by starting playback of a recording,  ff at 32x speed and then press play. Somtimes it crashes even before I press play or any other key. 

Interestingly, sometimes after a crash I completely lose audio in kodi (via hdmi), requirung reboot to make kodi work again with audio output.

VDR Recording Length Incorrect in Kodi v18

$
0
0
I have a bunch of VDR recordings with the commercials removed via post-processing, but I have noticed the latest v18 nightlies show the original recorded length (say 30 min, when it's actually 22 min). If I seek past 22 min in the file, playback just stops (edit: nope, sometimes it crashes Kodi). I'm guessing the client addon now reads the recording's info file rather than getting the length from the recording itself? Any chance we could change it back?

I cut the files rather than using VDR "marks" files because marks files requires me to push a button each time to skip commercials.

Thanks!

Linux - VNSIServer - True Color OSD Support ?

$
0
0
Hello everyone,
I am currently working on a complete LiveTV for LibreELEC and without using the Kodi player, which streams the audio/video, and thus causes slow zaps : https://forum.libreelec.tv/thread/12771-...thout-x11/
After several days of debugging, I conclude that the OSD of VNSIServer, does not support Skins which require in addition the activation of the True Color (skindesigner), but just the use of skin classic.
I would like to know if the plugin VDR VNSIServer, and its OSD in Socket (Server/Client), can support such a solution, and hope for a Roadmap for a next compatibility ?
I have a doubt about this exchange in Socket, which could pose problems on animations...

Looking forward to reading you, I tell you very quickly !

v18 - Strange issue when tuning into CNBC

I am observing a strange issue when tuning into CNBC which I receive via DVB-S/Sattelite.

When switching to CNBC channel, the picture freezes almost immediately while audio continues for a few secons and then stops. Then, I see the ring which indicates buffering filling upto 100% but no progress. The picture just remains frozen.

I can confirm this issue both on my Raspberry Pi with a recent Milhouse built (from August 20) and on my Ubuntu system which runs a recent self-compiled nightly built. PVR backend is a VDR 2.4.0 running on the same Ubuntu system in combination with a DD DVB-S/S2 dual tuner card.

For the time intervall I had switched to CNBC I see the follwing lines in my kodi log:

EPG data has 1 hr offset after end of DST

$
0
0
With tonight's end of DST in Germany clocks were set back 1 hr. Unfortunately, instead of applying a correction to the EPG data (I'm using EPG date from DVB stream) the start and end times of all broadcasts are displayed with a 1hr offset (e.g. 'Tagesschau' starting at 9pm instead of 8pm). After manually reloading the data all times are displayed correctly. 

I am aware of the current discussion pro/con DST and thus, this issue my soon become obsolete. However, a solution to this issue might be applicable for other regions where DST is still in use. 

Would it be possible to implement correction of EPG data after start/end of DST automatically or, for the least, trigger an automatic reload?

v18 - VDR and "Replace filenames with library titles" don't work

$

Hi,

i am using Kodi since version 11 to view  my recorded movies with vnsi on different OS. I have not enabled NFS or cifs shares.
The Version 14.2 was the last one with a full functional settings of "Replace filenames with library titles".
Version 15, 16 and 17 not working too ;-)

Now i am testing version 18 to get this feature back. But...

1) In the movie sektion
Example:
a movie show the filename "%Ice Age".
I "scan to library" -> the Fanart etc. will be shown 
With Version 18, it change the filename to library title, great
But, if i exit kodi and check the ice age movie, fanart not shown.
With Version 17.6, nothing happend!

2) VDR Recordings
only show filenames and no fanart

3)No missing movie feature
I am not able to check if the movie is in the database or not.

I have tested this scenario with:
OS: linux, Windows and OSX
DB: sqlite and mysql (primary)

The error is not os  nor database dependend
i need help.

Best regards

P0jn0A

PS: Many thanks to the developer team, without them i am not able to view my VDR movies remotly.

EPG distributed on one channel DVB-C Canal Digital Norway

$

EPG I only get the current and next program for each channel. On TV Mosaic/DVBlink I get all channels for about a week. On MediaPortal I had to select that all EPG data was on FOX HD to get the same. I read somewhere that you need to have a "modern" EPG scraper that supports getting all EPG data from a central channel to get all data. How can I do this with VDR? I have tried to install some plugins and change the settings but any plugin and setting just gives the same result.

Anyone have any experience with EPG distributed from on channel? Is there a plugin? Any other solution? And this is DVB-C.

I've recently bought a new TV and now I've got some problems with the audio during Live TV.
My Setup now looks like this: HTPC(Kodi) -> HDMI: Audio/Video -> TV -> HDMI ARC: Audio -> AVR.
The problem now is that if I watch anything live with 5.1 Audio the center channel audio stream is missing, !!!!BUT!!!! if I record such a program and watch the recording 5.1 audio works fine as expected.
Other Audio format on video files also work as expected

I've tested this with the latest stable libreelec 8 as well as the current libreelec 9 alpha.

Maybe someone has an Idea??

Thank you in advance!!
