softdevice image stays black, no errors..

    Hi, i installed vdr vdr-1.4.5-1 etobi sources.list on ubuntu feisty.
    I'm using a skystar 2 and plugin softdevice.
    Everything seems to run fine (no errors in log files), but the image remains black (also on FTA channels).
    My skystar2 is working because i can do a channelscan with plugin reelchannelscan, en the dvb-utils 'scan' and 'szap' app is working fine.


    I also changed dvb primary from 2 to 1 in the vdr setup menu without any luck.
    When vdr runs, szap tells me that /dev/dvb/adapter0 is busy so it must be used...


    What could i try more to get this working?


    greetings,

    Is the OSD working ?
    Which type is your graphic card ?
    Which output method did you choose ?


    Perhaps your graphic card does not support colorkeying.
    In this case you have to change OSD drawing mode from "pseudo" to "software" .

    Hi,
    the osd is working.
    On another installation vdr has already worked on the same pc, so it is not an hardware incompatibility problem.
    I use software instead of pseudo
    I use xvideo (xv)

    But there may be some incompatibilities with different Xorg versions in combination with differrent vendor specific drivers for your hardware if you are using ATI or NVIDIA cards.
    Which one ?


    For some drivers xv ports are disabled in xorg.conf.
    Run the command xvinfo , to see if xv-output is possible.


    Which messages are written to the console (stdout/stderr) when vdr is started and which messages appeare in syslog ?


    Stefan

    This is the relevant part in syslog: (the only error i see is: ERROR: unknown config parameter: softdevice.Postprocess Quality = 0)
