Trying to install in Arch

  • Hi I used: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/kodi-matrix-git/


    I can get this channel to load Al Jazerra HD, but most other channels fail with this output:


    /usr/include/c++/11.1.0/bits/basic_string.h:1026: std::__cxx11::basic_string<_CharT, _Traits, _Alloc>::const_reference std::__cxx11::basic_string<_CharT, _Traits, _Alloc>::operator[](std::__cxx11::basic_string<_CharT, _Traits, _Alloc>::size_type) const [with _CharT = char; _Traits = std::char_traits<char>; _Alloc = std::allocator<char>; std::__cxx11::basic_string<_CharT, _Traits, _Alloc>::const_reference = const char&; std::__cxx11::basic_string<_CharT, _Traits, _Alloc>::size_type = long unsigned int]: Assertion '__pos <= size()' failed.

    /usr/bin/kodi: line 186: 1887 Aborted (core dumped) ${KODI_BINARY} $SAVED_ARGS


    I have deleted every plugin from VDR apart from vsniserver

  • VDR will scan while running if you allow it to do so. That's how I usually do my channel scans.


    You have to have some initial channels.conf to start with. This can be a good start in this case: https://channelpedia.yavdr.com/gen/

    Not working, if using a gotox rotor. Except you have at least *one working channel per satellite* (better for each provider on each sat one) in channels.conf.

    In any case, a rotor needs to be configured, i think in diseqc.conf.

  • Have just done a fresh install again installed kodi from pacman, fresh install of vdr, fresh install of vdr-vnsiserver and enabled it in /etc/vdr/conf.d


    Try to open Das Erste HD and it crashes a few seconds later with the output below


    I promise I am not trying to annoy or bug you....

  • Hi,

    I think you need the enabled streamdev-server-Plugin. First install it.

    Have you configured the satellite as decribed above by Seahawk?

    Then you should make the Live-Plugin working. Within it, you can test the receiving. And then you can try to get Kodi working.

    Regards Stefan

  • the message is quite unspecific


    const char& std::string::operator[](unsigned long int) : Assertion '__pos <= size()' failed.


    Somewhere fails access to a std::string or std::wstring using square brackets, as the string is empty or shorter than the index given.

  • I have asked a question today on another forum - it turns out tvheadend does not play nicely with dual tuners in fact it does not play at all in the latest version and a dirty fix was to link the tuners but does not work for me


    But if I set my tbs6903 up as universal lnb rather than gotox tvheadend works perfectly (but is pointless for my setup)


    So this problem I am having is possibly kernel or driver related - I have been advised to tail my kernel log or syslog


    Today I tried a log of what happens from the moment I launch vdr - https://pastebin.com/88HuTKWg


    Could possibly explain why vdr-live is fine, also w_scan_cpp is fine on scanning single sats but will not scan if I enter a positioner number to scan another satellite position

    It is a bit annoying this because I have a feeling VDR could be set up very nicely and there are lots of plugins, it could probably match dvbviewer/smartdvb with a little bit of tweaking


    Not sure where to go with this now

  • Hi,

    Does the live video in the Live-Plugin work? Or just stuttering frames? Maybe arch uses a version that does not support this.

  • Well, you're trying to fiddle at all open ends at the very same time, loosing any path to success.


    Channel scanning is meaningless yet. As you already have a working channels.conf for S19.2E, stick to that for now and get this one up.

    You scanned those channels using a dvb tv card, so also stick to those working card for now - or repeat that proof of satellite access on the working sat.

    Working channels scan means a 'basic working card', and if that cards driver and hardware supports diseqc (not supported on every HW/driver) - then also together with rotor.


    Keep everything as simple as possible at beginning, skip any un-needed plugins and tools.
    Then, try to get a picture those channels and get access to VDR's menu - plus: READ VDR's DOC. In your case it's needed for the positioner; positioners are supported for years, but you will find not that much details, as only few are positioner users are there.



    Later, if you've succeeded up here, turn on the knobs. Configure the positioner, gaining access to all the channels you want. This is a second step. Encrypted channels the third.


    Yet, as Kodi or one of its addons is the process with trouble, try with VDR plugin softhddevice. If it works, you made progress; your video card fits nicely for that.

  • Can someone explain something to me


    I have deleted all channels from channels.conf (I have a theory if I manually scan channels that might help)


    Anyway if I do a scan with w_scan_cpp -fs -sS19E2 - this takes around 8 minutes and finds 400 channels for example


    I cannot find the output of that scan it does not save to vdr channels.conf yet the readme for w_scan_cpp


    Now the channels.conf is not writable obviously I can go root to modify this file but is there another way I should be saving the scan?


    Also if I copy the channels.conf from channelpedia I still get the crazy kodi output on most channels
