Hi,

maybe you should use a "standard colour-test" picture, as the "DQ-Tool" Image

Is there a CVS command to pull in upto a certain date?  If so, what would be that date to have pretty much everything working?

For example "cvs update -D2007-11-18"

Hello Chris,

hmm, still doesn't build...

Hope, I didn't miss a patch in there...

I thinks there runs something wrong:
[..]
Don't run all.sh or crosstool.sh as root, it's dangerous

can you tell me what´s wrong here ?

You are working als root... :-)

This needs some editing of scripts and running cross-compiler build "by hand".
Afterwards you must comment-out the cross-compiler-build in makedevenv-script an run it again.

Maybe it is much better to do a simple adduser...

Hello,

many of my recordings contain a "S" element in the file info.vdr, which shows info like "<genre> / <country> <year>",
subtitle or something like that.

Code Select Expand

Sample [info.vdr]:
C S19.2E-...
E 36313 111...
T Deep Blue
S Dokumentation Großbritannien / Deutschland 2003
D "Deep Blue", ein brilliant...
X 1 03 deu 16:9
X 2 03 deu stereo


If I go to "3. Recordings" -> (select one) -> Press Ok -> Select "Info" and this "S" element is present in info.vdr,
only "S" is displayed, whereas the "D" element never shows up.

In recordings without "S" element everything works as expected...

Any hints?

(MVP H3, CVS-Version of 2007-03-04, working fine.  )

is there any posibility to add the MAC Adress hardcoded.
If I turn off the TV, the MVP gets powerless.

That won't help. If you unplug the MVP, it looses the dongle with the WOL code...
(Dongle is stored in RAM)

Hello,

Crosstool build aborts because of a "if user is root" check in all.sh.
After a small change everything runs as expected.. 

Fourty2

It is done and posted on the website. Could you report if it works on your system, and what your system is?

Debian 3.1 (Sarge), Kernel 2.6.20 and some package "upgrades" useful for vdr-plugins.

Sorry, not running... (User: root)

Hello Chris,

can you please inform us, which changes are necessary to compile Rev. 2.6 dongles...
(based on Devscript-3)

Thanks in advance,
42.

For others who want to test it i attach a patch file.

Can't download the patch... 404 not found. Any hints?

Fourty2

One single question (looking into my server-logs...):

Into which difficulty do you run by just clicking a single link to a dongle-file?


Fourty2

any chance that you could make your dongle.bin available for the people that are less gifted in the use of compilers?
I also have a H3 that doesn't boot the current VOMP.

Could you maybe post it here or put it somewhere to download?

Get it here (CVS-Version with Wake-On-LAN - needs CVS-Vompserver):
http://www.hachmann-it.de/VDR/Dongle-CVS-WOL.ZIP


Anyone with a downloadable VompClient.exe out there?


Fourty2

Well, the recordings menu problem can be connected with the issue, that Chris is working on the protocoll for the recordings information (in cvs is writen that this is not finished) and you have at least to update also your server code, but

This definitly is the reason. With my "old" vompclient checkout (End of August) everything works fine with the patches
above (except the time-stuff patche(s)).

However, excessive jumping in record-playback-mode sometimes causes crashes...

Fourty2

Instead of using the newer hauppauge dongles I downloaded an old one and have no problems with the rest of the build. Would be nice though if someone could actually come out with a way to extract the kernel modules from a newer kernel!

So, here we go:
1. You need to build a new kernel (maybe not, if unsquashfs supports squashfs 2.x by now)
    - Get SquashFS-Kernel-Patch from
      http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/squashfs/squashfs3.1-r2.tar.gz?download
    - Patch your kernel, build, install

2. There is a tool, called "find-squashfs", that can extract the squashfs-ram-disk. As far as I know,
    the only source is the german http://www.ip-phone-forum.de, so I append source
    and makefile.

3. Build find-squashfs and run it on a new dongle.bin to extract the squashfs ram-disk.

4. Mount this extracted squashfs-ramdisk with loop-device.

That was easy, wasn't it... ;-)

Hello,

hmm, seems to be a bit of a monolog, but...

the main problem seems to be then script dongle_split.pl in the vomp dongle-builder,
which is unable to split a Hauppauge Rev 3.x dongle. The "ramdisk" unfortunately isn't
there anymore and was replaced by something starting with a "sqsh...x..wx..wp" pattern.

Identified as...

Major/Minor mismatch, filesystem on sqsh.fs is (2:1)
I only support Squashfs 3.0 filesystems!  Later releases will support older Squashfs filesystems


..arrgh...
