linuxstb / pidvbip Goto Github PK

Many thanks for the Pi client Dave.

Using with a Pi + Atrix Lapdock, I see only part of the video. The Lapdock display is 1366x768. A quick hack is to edit vcodex_omx.c and change each occurrence of

omx_set_display_region(pipe, 0, 0, 1920, 1080);
to omx_set_display_region(pipe, 0, 0, 1366, 768);
and
omx_set_display_region(pipe, 240, 0, 1440, 1080);
to omx_set_display_region(pipe, 171, 0, 1024, 768);

I guess on starting, pidvbip should read the current video mode and scale accordingly.

Build in cec with libcec for easy stb control from tv

Hello!
Would it be possible to add custom remote control key input codes to pidvbip?

For example in the config file.

rc_enter=105 [remote enter key]
rc_channelup=110 [channel up]

And so on, only a basic number of options would be needed, up, down, left, right, enter, channel up, channel down, stop, play/pause, fast forward & rewind.

:)

Hi,
Any chance we can see some screenshots of a client running 'pidvbip'?
Many thanks.

Build small Linux distro with pidvbip inside to make install easy

If current channel is the first in the channel list channels_getprev() will not return the last channel in the list. Instead the next to last channel will be returned.

To fix this move channels_cache = p; statement out from the while loop.

Correct code:

int channels_getprev(int id)
{
struct channel_t* p = find_channel(id);

if (p==NULL) {
return channels_getfirst();
} else {
channels_cache = p->prev;
if (p->prev == NULL) {
p = channels;
while (p->next != NULL) {
//channels_cache = p; // remove this line
p = p->next;
}
channels_cache = p; // new line
}

return channels_cache->id;

}
}

Some sort of enigma 2 channel list for the osd. Easy to navigate in large channel lists

i'm trying to compile pidvbip but it keeps failing over with the following message;

i have installed tvheadend and the libraries correctly so I'm not sure where I'm going wrong.

I did a fresh install of 2012-10-28-wheezy-raspbian and successfully compiled pidvbip. When I try to run it I get:

assertion failure:graphics.c:269:gx_priv_restore():egl_result

What am I doing wrong?

Has anybody got this to work with an external DAC please? I imagine this means enabling ALSA support. I'm using Raspbian and get picture but no sound. Thank you.

Sorry for placing this here, I couldn't create an issue on eindano's fork.

After running eindano's fork of pidvbip it tries to stream "Channel 113", but TVH will also create this channel in the webui, there is no conf file being used and I'm not setting it, so I'm not sure where it's getting this from.

When trying to playback a video file I get the following:-

Hi again!
I am missing the reason why this project is better than XBMC.

So far, I can see that XBMC is missing these features:

• Series Link recordings.
• Pause / Resume.

Not that series link listed in pidvbip feature set either. But pause/resume it. Can you please explain what else may be better when using pidvbip? Or planned features?

Also:
How might an individual consumer purchase a hardware license for the decoder codec? Is it already included in the Raspberry Pi B+ hardware purchase?

Many thanks.

Cpu almost pegged out at 100% when TVH connection is lost for whatever reason.

Just tested: pidvbip idle (not subscribed), shutdown TVH daemon, cpu to 100% on pi and stays there. Start TVH daemon, pi still at 100% cpu load. Cannot restart subscription.

So need some form of hts timeout/socket timeout.
(noted here mainly to remind myself to look into it!)

Configure fails whith:

Checking support/features
checking for cc pthread.h ... ok
checking for cc fpu ... fail
checking for cc bcm_host ... fail
ERROR: Failed to locate bcm_host

When viewing a channel that uses a mixture of 4:3 and 16:9 aspect ratios (e.g. during the programme and adverts), pidvbip will initially get the aspect ratio correct, but will not then detect any changes to the aspect ratio.

A workaround is to press "o" twice to restart the subscription, but this needs fixing (if possible).

When I try to run a newly compiled pidvbip with a newly compiled tvheadend both on my Pi2 with latest Raspbian build, I get:

"Using host "127.0.0.1:9982"

with timed/dated entries coming from tvheadend rather than pidvbip. There is indeed an optical mouse connected, and tvheadend appears to work correctly because I can watch TV on my PC using VLC and the 9982 port on my Pi.

Any ideas what I am doing wrong?

Hi,

I am trying to get usb ir remote to work with pidvbip. I have tested mutiple remotes all with different results, mostly because i can't map keys from the remote to the remote-control-keys from the application.

My question, are you using a specific remote with the application? And if so would yo be willing to share brand/model so i can order the same? :-)

The other way would be to use lirc and use that to map my remote control keys to application specific commands.

Either way, feedback is welcome!

Thanks!

Some more feature requests :)

• An option to change opacity of the OSD :)
• Display the date as well as the time with an option to change the display format dd/mm/yy mm/dd/yyyy etc.
• View other channels now/next data without changing the current channel.
• Display currently used server/receiving device (a status osd popup) with an option to change the current server (Say you're watching on Server A and it's glitching you could press this option to view the same channel on Server B).

Hope these are some good ideas :)

In file htsp.c, function get_ip() the buffer passed to inet_ntop() is one byte too short. If you are trying to connect to a host that has an IP-adress with all octets as 3 digits the program fails with a cryptic message:
Can't resolve host: No space left on device

The malloc() does account for the 15+1, but the inet_ntop() does not and passes 15 as length for the buffer.

After I changed:
if(inet_ntop(AF_INET, (void *)hent->h_addr_list[0], ip, iplen) == NULL)
into:
if(inet_ntop(AF_INET, (void *)hent->h_addr_list[0], ip, iplen+1) == NULL)
it now works for me.

(I know, I should really learn how to supply proper patches...)

Hi,

Starting pidvbip causes a segmentation fault.
Output from gdb:

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0x0001a728 in gx_priv_save (state=0xbefff09c, res=0xb6f0930c) at graphics.c:250
250 res->context_bound = 1;

Environment:
Raspbian Wheezy 2013-02-09
Tvheadend 3.3.525

If I disconnect the HDMI cabel pidvbip starts and the channel list is downloaded.

Any clue what the problem can be?

any ideas?

Hello !
I'm a little helpless...It works for an unpredictable time period fine but then I always get an segmentation fault and can't find a reason.
I'm on latest raspbian stretch light, I tried gpu_mem with 128/192/256MB but no difference. I even tried it with a higher bash stack limit (16.386 Kb and 32.768 Kb) also no difference.
Am I missing something or is this a known problem ? I tried to find answers on google but wasn't that succesfull....I'm stuck.

Any advice or help is very appreciated :)

pidvbip fails to setup omx pipeline.

symbol lookup error: /opt/vc/lib/libopenmaxil.so: undefined symbol: sem_getvalue, version GLIBC_2.4

Edit:
It would appear that this is caused by not having the video codec license keys and/or gpu_mem < 128.

Feel free to close this - hopefully it'll help those who come across this error in future!

When connecting to a server which requires authorisation to access services and the username and password isn't supplied, pidvbip doesn't deal with it, it instead goes into a continuous "Waiting for HSTP to start.." loop.
