yavdr-0.3

smurfb · October 18, 2010 at 11:58 AM

Hi, I am sorry if this have been answered somewhere already (perhaps in german ;)) ..

Anyway.

1. Wouldnt it be nice if a option to sleep before VDR is started is added? Now I added a sleep 10 in the vdr upstart script, but it would be nice if this was a option so I dont have to change everytime the script is updated.

2. Running yavdr in "XBMC-mode" with VNSI plugin sometimes xbmc crashes, and then VDR pops up, and I have to start XBMC again. Would be good if XBMC starts up again without user interaction.

Maybe one (or both) of these things can be done today already, then please point me in the right direction.

Thanks for a great distro, first time I am happy with my HTPC!

Hi,

we changed a lot of things in yaVDR 0.3 to make sure that the vdr is only started when everything's ready (i.e. all DVB devices are up). This works quite well so far.

Question is: Do you really need the "sleep 10"? Did you try without it?

I need a sleep, because else I have to use "command" and then "restart vdr" for it to work. I dont know if I could use a lower sleep than 10, havent tried that.

This is definitly not required for dvb devices. If it is about some plugin which doesnt work else - there is a better workaround then a sleep. I can provide more details today evening

i could imagine something like this helps:

http://pastebin.com/aBWkj1PN

Code

# vdr-network.conf
start on starting vdr 


task


script 
  while ! status network-interface INTERFACE=eth0 | grep -q running ; do sleep 1 ; done
end script

put to /etc/init/vdr-network.conf.

This should delay vdr until network is up. Think we had the discussion earlier. (for example mcli plugin should need that, other maybe too)

shure that i have only to insert this script in /etc/init/ ?
because it doesn't do his job

Try this one, sorry didnt see your post ...

Code

start on starting vdr


task


script
until status network-interface INTERFACE=eth0 | grep -q running ; do sleep 1 ; done
end script

and yes this should be enough, it says that this task needs to be completed before vdr starts (start on starting vdr) (tested this and it works)
