Did you stop eventlircd before?

Code

sudo stop eventlircd

Nop... Stopping eventlicrc and pressing power button after ir-keytable -t:

1332441226.721990: event MSC: scancode = 800f040c
1332441226.722009: event key down: KEY_SLEEP (0x008e)
1332441226.722012: event sync
1332441226.876072: event MSC: scancode = 800f040c
1332441226.876082: event sync

1332441227.047346: event MSC: scancode = 400
1332441227.047347: event sync

IMHO you should change

Code

0x800f040c = KEY_SLEEP

to

Code

0x800f040c = KEY_POWER2

Ok, IYHO it works perfectly.

Thanks a lot for everithing. I will wait a week to see if there are not more hungs-up.

The changes I made in the key maps, will they remain in future updates?

Regards.

Thanks again

I will keep you posted if I have more hungs after updating the cir module...

In case of more hungs, may be I will try VDR version 1.7.26 as fnu proposed.

Hi again.

Well.... cir module changes has not solved the hang up issue.

I found my Xtreamer repeating the same sound in a loop and completely hanged. This is the last syslog till I restarted:

I guess next step is trying fnu proposal with VDR version 1.7.26, so I have a question. Can this testing version of VDR have unresolved and risky problems for not advanced users (like me)?

I read, that a TV's Backlight (due to flickering) may cause hangs and startup problems for pcs with CIR receivers - have you tried to shield your CIR from that light source and checked if the hangups do still appear?

Hi.

My tv does not have backlight but I will try to isolate the CIR receiver (just in case, even when the hung up is made with tv switched off). Thanks for the idea.

In yaVDR 0.3 I did not have that problem, if we can not find out a solution, as last choice, I will downgrade my yaVDR.

Is it a plasma display?

Yep. Panasonic 42".

If you are interessted in testing VDR 1.7.26, you might add our PPA "testing-vdr" on top of the existing stable ones:

Code

#/> sudo apt-add-repository ppa:yavdr/testing-vdr
#/> sudo apt-get update
#/> sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

Hi.

Done. I have installed VDR 1.7.26, but now I can not install scheduler plugin.

This is a problem for me, because twice a week at 2:00 a.m. I use the plugin to do automatically, a safety copy of a server in the computer of my yaVDR.

This is the log of the trying of installation:

Yes, could be, I haven't build all plugins together with 1.7.26, I did focus to that what is part in yavdr and some things around, what is important (displays) and known to be used mostly. So, either you are bit patient until I find time to build it, or you just get the source and build it locally for yourself.

Code

#/> cd /usr/src
#/> sudo mkdir vdr-plugin-schedule
#/> cd vdr-plugin-schedule
#/> sudo apt-get source vdr-plugin-schedule
#/> sudo apt-get build-dep vdr-plugin-schedule
#/> cd vdr-plugin-schedule....
#/> sudo dpkg-buildpackage -tc
#/> cd ..
#/> sudo dpkg -i vdr-plugin-schedule...deb

fnu

Thanks.

Do not worry. I will wait. I think it will be better if I try for two weeks with this new version of VDR (and without the scheduler plugin). If no hungs in two weeks we will give next step, if new hungs, I will downgrade to de stable version of vdr (I guess it is possible too).

Next two weeks I will make the safety copy manually, no problem with that, thanks.

Regards.

Hi fnu.

Well I do not tried the steps you recommended because I want to know what happens with the hungs without installing scheduler and rss reader plugins. They were the plugins uninstalled because of the newest version of VDR.

Could a plugin let the computer completely down? (I want to discard those plugins as source of my hungs).

Anyway, I tried, and when I wrote "sudo apt-get source vdr-plugin-schedule", I got this message: "vdr-plugin-schedule font source package can not be found"(in my language).

I would rather to wait to see if hangs up have disappeared with newest version of VDR and without the plugins before mentioned.

Regards.
jbjbjb

I am on it:
"sudo apt-get source vdr-plugin-schedule" should be "sudo apt-get source vdr-plugin-scheduler"

I will tell you the results.

jbjbjb

Thanks fnu.

It seems to be working.

From now I do not install RSS Reader plugin and I will wait a few days. I hope hung up dissapear.

Thx.

Regards.

Did you build "vdr-plugin-scheduler" for yourself now?

With try again I meant => "apt-get install vdr-plugin-scheduler", because I found some time to push it to the PPA.

I'll check "vdr-plugin-rssreader" soon, if I would have known it a couple of hours ago ...

Cheers

Yes, I was able to build it by myself thanks to your explanations.

Thx for include it in the PPA, I guess... Would it be better to install it from PPA?.

Do not worry abotur rssreader, It is not a critical plugin for me.
