Hello,

Solved !

It's the VNSI server's configuration to change in VDR. But some parameters (maximum values per example) doesn't give a good result.

Update :

Some records done today, but the list of "Recent records" doesn't show them, nor the list of "Records".

Hello,

My configuration : Linux Debian "Bookworm" (stable), vdr (2.6.0-1.1), Kodi (2.20) and a NAS to store the TV records. My NAS is a Glusterfs NAS, replication mode with 2 nodes under Linux Debian "Bookworm".

With a classic configuration : VDR, Tuner DVB, USB hard drive for the TV records, VNI Server and Kodi, I see all my TV records of my hard drive.

But, after a warning about my USB hard drive, I've used my Glusterfs NAS to store my TV records. With "vdr-sxfe", I see all my TV records on my NAS. No trouble to record a TV program, to see the full list of the records or watch a TV record.

Kody accepts to program a record from the Guide. With my remote, I can use the "record" button. So Kodi accepts to use the Glusterfs NAS to make the TV records. The user of VDR application is "vdr", all records are readable for all users. My login is in the group "vdr" when I use Kodi.

With Kodi, the problem is that I see only some few TV records. As example, the list of

• "Recent records" contains few records since 16/11/2023 to 28/09/2024
• "Records" show only a a part of the records since 07/05/2020 to 28/09/2024

Some different mount points for Glusterfs was tested, but nothing change :

• in "/etc/fstab" : glusternode:/vol_vdr /mnt/glusterfs glusterfs defaults,_netdev 0 0
• with "autofs" : glusterfs -fstype=glusterfs glusternode:/vol_vdr, mounted in "/mnt/autofs/glusterfs"
• an other mount point created with "mount --bind <real mount point> <mount point for Kodi>"

In the "Videos" Kodi's section, the TV records directory is used : all TV records are listed and usable

I don't know if I've missed something an other time or If something is to do in the Kodi setup.

Thank you for any help

Have a good day !

<back>KEY_EXIT</back> added.

With your help, I've found that the problem is not many KEY_ENTER, but <enter>Enter</enter> and tt]<enter>Enter</enter>[/tt] for my remote. I could investigate later.

As I've modified an existing configuration, the error could be here. For example, the <remote device="mceusb"> has

Quote

<select>OK</select>

<select>KEY_OK</select>

<enter>KEY_ENTER</enter>

Thank you again for the help

Thank you to see that !

I've removed the <altname>/dev/input/event19</altname> and add the <back>KEY_EXIT</back>. Now I have the "exit" valid, but the "enter"/"select" is always missing.

Sorry, a mistake during the edition ...

Hello,

The output of irw :

Zitat 0004000400000083 00 KEY_EXIT urc7145_stb_panasonic
000400040000005c 00 KEY_ENTER urc7145_stb_panasoni

I have no troubles with VDR and "vdr-sxfe", so "/etc/vdr/remote.conf" is good. My problem is only with "kodi", where the "KEY_EXIT" or "KEY_EXIT" are ignored. Impossible to select/valid something or to escape from dialog box or a menu.

The problem is the usage of the remote with "kodi". I would select with the "KEY_ENTER" and go bback, exit with "KEY_EXIT'.

Hello,

I have a remote command One For All Evolve 4 (URC-7145) / One For All Evolve 4 URC 7145. I use the STB mode "Set Top Box, Satellite Receiver, Cable Converter,Freeview, DVB-T, IPTV, Media, Streamer" configured for a Panasonic device.

I've used "ir-keytable" to build my configuration and write a file for "lirc", "/etc/lirc/lircd.conf.d/urc7145_stb_panasonic.lircd.conf" joined and renamed "*.txt". As I have 3 tuners "USB RTL2832 with tuner R820T2" with a IR receiver. As "root", I've set a crontab "@reboot /usr/bin/sleep 15; /usr/bin/ir-keytable -c -p rc-6" to initialize the first USB DVB-T receiver. I give you my "/etc/vdr/remote.conf" renamed "*.txt". With "vdr-sxfe" under Linux, Debian Bookworm ("stable" 09/2024) the remote works.

Now I try to set the remote for Kodi, I've used HOW-TO:Set up an MCE remote control in Linux. I've set my file "/home/<login>/.kodi/userdata/Lircmap.xml", the file is joined renamed "*.txt". I've added the configuration of my URC-7145 remote to this file. As there is no "Subtitles" button, I use the "Power" button to have the subtitles.

With Kodi and my remote, my problem is I can't select, validate, etc. a choice or exit. The arrows and all other buttons are working but impossible to select something or exit. When I use the TV menu with VDR, if a dialog box give the choice between the direct or replay, I can't make a selection nor quit this dialog box, no "exit" possible. With the keyboard, I can use the "TAB", "ESC" and "RETURN" keys, but with my remote I have no buttons to replace the keyboard actions.

Could you help me to finalize my configuration ?

Thank you in advance for your help.

Hello,

With the help of e-tobi a solution was found. Thank you to him

Even with his help, the problems persists with 'vdr-sxfe'.

The solution was to use the e-tobi's packages and Kodi. The device Softhddevice doesn't help in my case, it was removed for Kodi.

With Kodi is not possible to cut a video, so I use 'vdr-sxfe' to do that.

To use the e-tobi's packages remove all references to his mirror. A key must be added to use the mirror. The solution given is :

Quote from E-Tobis

sh <(curl -s https://packages.e-tobi.net/vdr-experimental/setup-bullseye.sh)

or

cd /tmp

wget https://packages.e-tobi.net/vdr-experimental/setup-bullseye.sh

sh setup-bullseye.sh

The VDR's packages :

apt install vdr vdr-plugin-epgsearch vdr-plugin-femon vdr-plugin-xineliboutput xineliboutput-sxfe vdr-plugin-vnsiserver kodi kodi-pvr-vdr-vnsi

Hello,

The replay is perfect with VDR, just now I've checked it. The direct is perfect with VLC and MPV.

Under Bullseye, nothing is returned by "apt-file search softhdvaapi".

What is "softhdvappi" ?

How to install this ?

The forgotten packages for the video card :

i965-va-driver-shaders/stable,now 2.4.1-1 amd64  [installé]
xserver-xorg-video-intel/stable,now 2:2.99.917+git20200714-1+b1 amd64  [installé, automatique]

Hello,

I use Debian Bullseye with a USB DVB tuner Realtek RTL2832. If I don't use VDR ("systemctl stop vdr") and use "VLC" or "mpv" I can see all HD TV channels, so I suppose that there is no hardware problem.

With VDR, the sound has not the good speed, too fast, sometimes not synchronized with the video. But always, the sound and the video freeze after few seconds and restart continuously. The same situation is produced with the commands "vdr-sxfe" or "xine xvdr://".

I've tried to change the parameters like "engine.buffers ..." in "~/.xine/config_xineliboutput" and directly (as "root") in "/var/lib/vdr/plugins/xineliboutput/config" (restart of the service done) without succes for "vdr-sxfe". The file "~/.xine/config_xineliboutput" is re-written at each time after living 'vdr-sxfe'. The parameters with "Xine" are persistent.

I don't understand why "~/.xine/config_xineliboutput" is re-written after "vdr-sxfe" and loose the values that I set.

The replay works perfectly even if there is some freezes.

I hope that someone could help me

Best regards.
