Vomp Extension Dongle/Server Version 0.3.0-10

[hondansx]

But, looking in the list of recordings, choosing the "summary" entry, I only get the short description, even when there is an extended description available. The screen is large enough to display all info, and it works OK when there is no short description available. Lots of providers don't provide this short description, that's why nobody notices the "suboptimal" behaviour of vomp-client.

Thanks for the hint. I suggest following: First show the extended description. If there is none take the sort Description:

Code Select Expand


//Yaris - First we want the Description, next we take ShortText
summary = (char*)Info->Description();
if (isempty(summary)) summary = (char*)Info->ShortText();


@Chris
Is this an wanted behaviour?

That would indeed be a simple solution, although I would prefer the "show as much info as possible" option your proposal would be fine with me.

Thanks for your quick response!

I'm also missing following line for the processGetChannelSchedule

thisEventSubTitle = event->GetSubtitle();

It is in the block "#if VDRVERSNUM < 10300", but not in the block of the newer version. There it is only:

thisEventSubTitle = NULL;


For sure not yet used in VOMP client, but I would like to have it in QtVomp.

Here is a new patch for the vompserver, to 'show as much as possible info' in the recordings.
There is an FIXME in it, maybe someone can look into it and help me where to set.

Hi,

Is there compiled dongle too?
For some reason I can't get dongles compiled at all.

On the first page at the bottom, there is an link where you can download an precompiled dongle if you want.

Sorry!
My mistake.
I didn't look at the first page.

Thanks!

Dear all,

I have a strange problem when compiling vompserver plugin for vdr 1.6.0-8ctvdr2 from lenny e-tobi repo.

Plugin compiles without warnings. Will be loaded without problems. Will play recordings as expected.

Bit when watching life tv, connection to sever is lost. With Windows 0.3.0-1 and 0.3.0 dongle that I did
on my own (as I prefer * and # to skip 5 Minutes over ads, instead of only 10 seconds).

No errors in logs found so far...

Any ideas?

Best Reg
Rards,
Carsten.

Hi,

3 ideas

1. you could try increase/decrease tcp windows size under properties?!
2. Check your network?! (full/halfduplex misconfiguration or and switch)
3. I had "the connection to sever is lost" in other situations and if changed the vdr version from 1.6.0/1.7.0 to 1.7.2 with extensionspatch and livebuffer activated this problems are gone.

So no more problems with lenny and selfcompiled vdr1.7.2 since weeks.

Maybe it help`s,

Bye Walter

Thanks,

I'll check that tonight. But I doubt it will help. I have to switch on a kind of log, I think I can probably
do that on the MVP.

It's a Lenny installation. The only thing I changed was the plugin. It was replaced by a self-compiled
plugin. Can you somehow send me yours to let me try out? I'll try to send you may email by pn.

Is it, by the way, necessary to change the dongle, too? I mean, Vomp for Windows also crashed and
I see no chance to change that...

BR,
Carsten.

Well, no change with that combination:

  - Lenny vdr 1.6.0-8ctvdr2
  - self-compiled 0.3.0-8
  - either selfcompiled dongle 0.3.0, distro 0.3.0-2 or 0.3.0-8

With distro plugin, things that are expected to work do so.

Here a debug log, which unfortunately doesn't tell me anything. I just pressed the
TV button. Radio is the same...

BR,

{EDIT} I tried now also to compile the distro server plugin, which works binary-wise. Self-compiled will have the same problem.
Also tried to compile in an Etch environment. Also tried plugin 0.3.0-7. I think something is wrong with my plugin build environment.
Could in the meantime someone provide me with a 0.3.0-8 vdr plugin vor vdr 1.6.0 in 32 Bit, please? I will set up another build env now.

{EDIT2} in new build env, still the same. plugins are exactly identical. I have no further ideas...

[hondansx]

Well, no change with that combination:

  - Lenny vdr 1.6.0-8ctvdr2
  - self-compiled 0.3.0-8
  - either selfcompiled dongle 0.3.0, distro 0.3.0-2 or 0.3.0-8

So far I think the problem is vdr 1.6.0-8ctvdr2. You should upgrade or downgrade vdr or change to another vdrdistro.

Greets,
Walter
