[softhddevice-drm-gles] Raspberry 4 und 5

Quote from Dr. Seltsam

Ob und welche Verrenkungen in beiden Plugins dafür notwendig waren,weiß ich allerdings nicht.

Ich glaube, das ist z.B. hier: https://github.com/jojo61/vdr-plu…fthddev.c#L2689 eingefügt...

Mein Test mit softhdodroid war erfolgreich - das Stillpicture-Bild kommt sofort und ist stabil ohne Flackern.

Beim weiteren Testen mit dem radio-Plugin habe ich dann bemerkt, dass PlayPes nur bei Replay funktioniert, und auch nur bei Aufnahmen von DVB-Radio. Bei radio-Aufnahmen vom iptv-Plugin (vlc) funktioniert weder StillPicture noch PlayPes. Da scheint die Erkennung als audio-only-Stream nicht zu funktionieren, aber das ist wohl eine andere Baustelle.

Soweit ich bisher glaubte, PlayPes würde auch im Live-Betrieb funktionieren, könnte das daraus resultieren, dass ich bisher ein Schwarzbild sowohl für live als auch replay konfiguriert hatte . Ich wollte meinen TV schonen und habe das radio-Plugin nur benutzt, weil das Spulen in Radioaufnahmen besser funktioniert, wenn das Ausgabeplugin auch ein Bild bekommt.

Danke für den Test!

It's okay with softhddevice too

Thanks for testing. If you want, you can test the radio-plugin patch together with https://github.com/rellla/vdr-plu…x-stillpicture2

Be aware, that the last one isn't much tested by myself but should hopefully work...

The softhddevice can pes and es in stillpicture mode, and softhdcuvid can it too.

Yes, i know. But ES is not expected to be played by cDevice::StillPicture() according to VDR docs. It has been a workaround for a wrong implementation in the radio plugin all time.

EDIT: It originates from a 14 years old commit from johns https://github.com/rellla/softhdd…44fd0d7645d603f

Not working on Rp4. I've the same error (segmentation fault)

2872 Errore di segmentazione /usr/local/bin/vdr -l 3.7 -u root --lirc -P'dvbapi' -P'softhddevice-drm-gles -a hw:CARD=sndrpihifiberry,0 -d 1920x1080@50' -P'iptv -y /usr/local/bin/yt-dlp' -P'radio' -s /usr/local/bin/vdrpoweroff

Pls note that without radio plugin using only iptv activating stillpicture I've the same following error

4965 Errore di segmentazione /usr/local/bin/vdr -l 3.7 -u root --lirc -P'dvbapi' -P'softhddevice-drm-gles -a hw:CARD=sndrpihifiberry,0 -d 1920x1080@50' -P'iptv -y /usr/local/bin/yt-dlp' -s /usr/local/bin/vdrpoweroff

and always only with iptv activating ples I've no error but not background image

Let me test that by myself. But if i cannot reproduce it, i can't help without a backtrace. There is a possibility, that the radio plugin causes a segfault in softhddevice-drm-gles because it sends a stillpicture after radio playback should be stopped.

If so, i will make a patch for that.

Note: If at all, only Stillpicture will work with softhddevice-drm-gles atm. Not PlayPes.

Update after recompilation

No image and sound with iptv + radio with Ples activated

Segmentation fault with iptv +radio with Stillpicture

Segmentation fault with only iptv with Stillpicture

In any case no background image

rell · January 9, 2026 at 5:07 PM

Did you test only with radio plugin? I do not have iptv activated here.

rell · January 9, 2026 at 5:52 PM

You may also try the second patch from https://github.com/rellla/vdr-plu…ix-stillpicturewhich could prevent the segv.

With that patches and https://github.com/rellla/vdr-plu…x-stillpicture2 the radio plugin works here on a RK3399. I did not notice any other regressions.

Iptv also will need the patches, but i didn't try that.

fiveten_59 · January 9, 2026 at 5:55 PM

You have a p.m.

fiveten_59 · January 11, 2026 at 9:11 AM

With the last version of softhddevice-drm-gles and this patched version of vdr-plugin-radio

https://github.com/rellla/vdr-plu…ix-stillpicture

now soft-drm is able to load the radio background image - tested on rpi4 & rpi5

with this type of configuration

stillpicture OFF on Iptv plugin

stillpicture ON on radio plugin

Thanks a lot

rell · January 11, 2026 at 9:37 AM

If wanted, I can clean up the patches and prepare a PR for the radio and iptv plugin.

fiveten_59 · January 11, 2026 at 9:42 AM

Wait I'm testing it on fedora now

fiveten_59 · January 11, 2026 at 10:43 AM

Tested fix-stillpicture on Debian Trixie and Fedora 42 on pc using softhddevice by ual0ny

If start vdr as user there's no problem

but if I start vdr as root all is ok then if I kill and start it again always as root there's no sound on radio streaming channels

It looks like a prob on vlcinput more than a prob with radio plugin

Update

Found the solution sed -i 's/geteuid/getppid/' /usr/bin/vlc

All is okay

fiveten_59 · January 11, 2026 at 12:33 PM

Would be great if Inj publish again his old vlciptv patch + config file for radio plugin

so you can see artist & song in the below of the background image (radio internet streaming)

rell · January 11, 2026 at 1:04 PM

fiveten_59 You may try this iptv branch and stillpicture without the radio branch:

https://github.com/rellla/vdr-plu…ix-stillpicture

fiveten_59 · January 11, 2026 at 2:44 PM

It's okay

now image load correctly on Trixie (pc)

would be okay on rpi4/5
