This is a collection of known error messages and their solution. Mostly these error messages result from missing [[dependencies]].
+
= Introduction =
 +
This article describes some aspects to setup an enviroment with a VDR server and a xine stream client.
  
−
=== a52 ===
+
Here typically should be the obligatory screenshot of my desktop showing the running stream - I add that later on :)
−
'''Symptom''', in this case from [[build]]ing [[vlc]]:
 
−
[[configure]]: error: Could not find liba52 on your system: you may get it from http://liba52.sf.net/. Alternatively you can use --disable-a52 to disable the a52 plugin.
 
−
'''Solution''', in this case for SUSE Linux:
 
−
[[yast]] -i liba52-devel
 
  
−
=== access forbidden ===
+
To proceed, [[find out your distribution]] and proceed accordingly:
−
'''Symptom''': When surfing to a web site from your [[apache]] web server your browser tells you
 
−
Access forbidden!
 
−
 
−
You don't have permission to access the requested directory. There is either no index document or the directory is read-protected.
 
−
 
−
If you think this is a server error, please contact the webmaster.
 
−
Error 403
 
−
'''Solution''', in this case for SUSE Linux:
 
−
In /etc/apache2 search for AllowOverride:
 
−
[[grep]] -ir "allowoverride" *
 
−
Make sure all AllowOverride are set to None, then restart your apache:
 
−
/etc/init.d/apache2 restart

= SUSE Linux 12.1 =
−
'''Symptom''', in this case from gqcam:
+
== The setup as basic for this article ==
−
/usr/include/gtk/gtkwidget.h:40:21: fatal error: atk/atk.h: No such file or directory
+
We need some Hardware - I my case:
−
compilation terminated.
+
* a laptop [http://www.staerk.de/thorsten/latitude_2100 Dell Latitude 2100]
−
make: *** [gqcam.o] Error 1
+
* an external digital TeraTec Cinergy S2 USB with remote control
−
'''Solution''', in this case for SUSE Linux 11.3:
 
−
[[cp]] -r /usr/include/atk-1.0/atk/ /usr/include/
 
  
−
=== C compiler ===
+
And of course some software repositories - in my case:
−
<pre>
+
* Base OS is openSUSE 12.1
−
~/freeciv-2.1.9 # ./configure
 
−
checking build system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu
 
−
checking host system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu
 
−
checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c
 
−
checking whether build environment is sane... yes
 
−
checking for gawk... gawk
 
−
checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... no
 
−
checking whether to enable maintainer-specific portions of Makefiles... no
 
−
checking for style of include used by make... none
 
−
checking for gcc... no
 
−
checking for cc... no
 
−
checking for cc... no
 
−
checking for cl... no
 
−
configure: error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH
 
−
See `config.log' for more details.
 
−
linux-zcx2:~/freeciv-2.1.9 # gcc
 
−
If 'gcc' is not a typo you can use command-not-found to lookup the package that contains it, like this:
 
−
    cnf gcc
 
−
linux-zcx2:~/freeciv-2.1.9 # yast -i gcc-c++
 
−
</pre>
 
  
−
=== C++ compiler ===
+
We setup the following componets
−
Problem e.g.:
+
* VDR (http://www.vdr-portal.de/)
−
CMake Error: your CXX compiler: "CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER-NOTFOUND" was not found.  Please set CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER to a valid compiler path or name.
+
* XINE
−
'''Solution''', e.g. under Debian:
 
−
aptitude install build-essential
 
  
−
=== C header files ===
+
== Setup Procedure ==
−
'''Symptom:''' When starting [[vmware]] player you get an error message:
+
=== Installing VDR and XINE ===
−
C header files matching your running kernel were not found.  Refer to your distribution's documentation for installation instructions.
 
−
'''Solution''', in this case for SUSE Linux 12.1:
 
−
[[yast]] -i kernel-source
 
  
−
=== can't open display ===
+
==== Installation channels ====
−
'''Symptom:''' When you call yast2 on a remote computer you get the error message
+
* Set up installation channels

+
VDR_PLUGINS="remote xine"
 +
  VDR_PLUGIN_ARGS_remote="-i /dev/input/ir"

 +
and restart the video disk recorder:
 +
  /etc/init.d/vdr restart
  
−
=== certificate.pem ===
+
= SUSE Linux 11.4 =
−
'''Symptom:''' A program, e.g. [[sHellinaBox]] outputs the error message:
+
== The setup as basic for this article ==
−
Cannot read valid certificate from "certificate.pem". Check file permissions and file format.
+
We need some Hardware - I my case:
 +
* a laptop DELL D620
 +
* an external USB S2 digtital HD device TeVii S660
 +
* a TechnoTrend remote control (because unfortunately the remote control support of TeVii S660 is buggy in my setup)
  
−
'''Reason,''' in this case for [[sHellInaBox]]: The program cannot create certificate.pem in the current folder
+
And of course some software repositories - in my case:
 +
* Base OS is openSUSE 11.4
 +
* Additional package repositories: TBD
  
−
'''Solution,''' in this case for [[shellInABox]]: start the program in /tmp
+
We setup the following componets
 +
* VDR (http://www.vdr-portal.de/)
 +
* LIRC
 +
* XINE

Revision as of 21:11, 20 August 2012

Introduction

This article describes some aspects to setup an enviroment with a VDR server and a xine stream client.

Here typically should be the obligatory screenshot of my desktop showing the running stream - I add that later on :)

To proceed, find out your distribution and proceed accordingly:

SUSE Linux 12.1

The setup as basic for this article

We need some Hardware - I my case:

  • a laptop Dell Latitude 2100
  • an external digital TeraTec Cinergy S2 USB with remote control

And of course some software repositories - in my case:

  • Base OS is openSUSE 12.1

We setup the following componets

Setup Procedure

Installing VDR and XINE

Installation channels

  • Set up installation channels
zypper ar http://packman.inode.at/suse/openSUSE_12.1/Essentials packman-essentials
zypper ar http://packman.inode.at/suse/openSUSE_12.1/Multimedia packman-multimedia
  • Now the command
zypper lr -u

must contain 

| packman-essentials                 | packman-essentials                 | Yes     | No      | http://packman.inode.at/suse/openSUSE_12.1/Essentials                      
| packman-multimedia                 | packman-multimedia                 | Yes     | No      | http://packman.inode.at/suse/openSUSE_12.1/Multimedia

Installation

Now install the software: 

yast -i vdr-plugin-xine

Configuration

Now configure the software. In /etc/sysconfig/vdr, replace 

VDR_PLUGINS=""

by 

VDR_PLUGINS="remote xine"
VDR_PLUGIN_ARGS_remote="-i /dev/input/ir"
VDR_PLUGIN_ARGS_xine=""

and restart the video disk recorder: 

/etc/init.d/vdr restart

SUSE Linux 11.4

The setup as basic for this article

We need some Hardware - I my case:

  • a laptop DELL D620
  • an external USB S2 digtital HD device TeVii S660
  • a TechnoTrend remote control (because unfortunately the remote control support of TeVii S660 is buggy in my setup)

And of course some software repositories - in my case:

  • Base OS is openSUSE 11.4
  • Additional package repositories: TBD

We setup the following componets

Setup Procedure

Installing VDR and XINE

Installation channels

  • Set up installation channels
zypper ar http://packman.inode.at/suse/openSUSE_11.4/Essentials packman-essentials
zypper ar http://packman.inode.at/suse/openSUSE_11.4/Multimedia packman-multimedia
  • Now the command
zypper lr -u

must contain 

  | packman-essentials   | packman-essentials         | Yes     | Yes     |   99     | rpm-md | http://packman.inode.at/suse/openSUSE_11.4/Essentials                       
  | packman-multimedia   | packman-multimedia         | Yes     | Yes     |   99     | rpm-md | http://packman.inode.at/suse/openSUSE_11.4/Multimedia
  • libxine2 removed; xine-ui from other vendor. Install VDR and xine packages - sou might need also some dependent packages so use zypper to resolve dependencies
    • Remark: 2012-07-18: Updated List
    • removed package libxine2
    • xine-ui from openSUSE not packman.links2linux.de
    • downgraded vdr-plugin-xine to version 0.9.3
    • To query the packages in this format:
printf " %-22s | %-22s | %-30s | %s\

" "Name" "Version" "Vendor" "Project URL" 

printf " -----------------------+------------------------+--------------------------------+-------------------------------\

" 

rpm -qa --queryformat ' %-22{name} | %-22{version} | %-30{vendor} | %{url} \

' | egrep '(vdr|xine)' 

Name                   | Version                | Vendor                         | Project URL

Remark: Using the xine plugin (from repository PackMan) you could use xine for a complete VDR client (with full control over all menus).

  • Adapt plugin configuration /etc/sysconfig/vdr (the plugin "remote" is optional and can be dropped, if you use lirc)
#
# With plugin remote plugin:
#
VDR_PLUGINS="remote xine"
VDR_PLUGIN_ARGS_remote="-i /dev/input/ir"
VDR_PLUGIN_ARGS_xine=""
#
# Without plugin remote plugin:
#
VDR_PLUGINS="remote xine"
VDR_PLUGIN_ARGS_remote="-i /dev/input/ir"
VDR_PLUGIN_ARGS_xine=""
  • Restart VDR
 /etc/init.d/vdr restart
  • start watching VDR: - You should get a OSD message from VDR that tells you to train VDR to understand your remote control or keyboard sequences
xine vdr://

In this setup we proceed to integrate the Technotrend Remote control to be able to send signals to LIRCD and than configure VDR to understand LIRCD commands...

TechnoTrend USB Remote-Control

Low Level Test with mode2

To test, if the IR keys are recognized on a very low level test using command mode2. This works also without lircd.

lircd-client Connection Test

To test, if a client of lircd could recognize key presses use command irw. This command is part of package lirc. 

furka:~ # irw

Trouble-Shooting

  • If you do NOT have a valid config file for your remote you might create one interactive using irrecord
irrecord -d /dev/lirc0 file

lirc to talk with vdr

  • VDR automatically tries to get signals/commands from LIRC, but you need to help VDR to understand whoat to do, if a special LIRC command is received. You could either "train" VDR and press keys in the training mode, or provide a ready-to-go definition file. File /etc/vdr/remote.conf needs to contain those additional entries for accepting lircd keys:
LIRC.Up         Up
LIRC.Down       Down
LIRC.Menu       Repeat
LIRC.Ok         OK
LIRC.Back       Exit
LIRC.Left       Left
LIRC.Right      Right
LIRC.Red        Red
LIRC.Green      Green
LIRC.Yellow     Yellow

UNSORTED STUFF

Auf dem Laptop Latitude D820 habe ich einen vdr installiert mit einer externen USB-Box TVii 660

Installation of the DVB-S2 USB-Box

<TBD>

Plugins, plugins, plugins ...

Why are there so much differetn plugins for VDR to provide video streams? They all have different feature sets and use cases. While in the use case to watch TV on a Laptop where the TV-Card/Box is connected is matching to the plugine xine, there are other usescases for network streaming.

TBD We need / explain the following VDR plugins:

  • xine
  • streamdev
  • libxineoutput

Video clients

Remote Streaming: vdr-plugin-streamdev

vlc - What is already running is that you can watch TV and also switch the programm. But you do not have full control over VDR using that method. 

vlc http://127.0.0.1:3000/PES/1

URL in general: 

http://<hostip>:<port>/[PES|xx]/<prognummer>

You need to setup the file /etc/vdr/streamdev.conf: 

# streamdev.conf:
<TBD>

Passender /etc/sysconfig/vdr Auszug 

 VDR_PLUGINS="streamdev"

vdr-plugin-xineliboutput

With xineliboutput 

vlc tcp://localhost:37890

But how to switch the program using this connection?

==== Best practice local access with <html><acronym title="On Screen Display">OSD</acronym></html>: vdr-plugin-xine ==== This is the recommended way if you want to watch TV on the computer where VDR is running.

Using the xine plugin (from repository PackMan) you could use xine for a complete VDR client (with full control over all menus).

  • install it:
yast -i vdr-plugin-xine
  • Matching line in /etc/sysconfig/vdr (the plugin "remote" is optional and can be dropped, if you use lirc)
 VDR_PLUGINS="remote xine"
 VDR_PLUGIN_ARGS_remote="-i /dev/input/ir"
 VDR_PLUGIN_ARGS_xine=""
  • Restart VDR
 /etc/init.d/vdr restart
  • start watching TV:
xine vdr://

Remote Control

TBD: translate de->en

TeVii S660 remote control is a bit painfull for me

Translation: <TBD>

  • Mit dem Update von c.a. Mitte März auf den Herstellerseiten (auf Simplon Download/Tevii) geht nun die Erkennung der Fernbedienung
  • Kleiner Patch in ./v4l/dw2102.c die Ausgaben von "query RC..." auskommentiert (also nicht aktiv), weil sonst der syslog voll läuft
  • VDR meldet (ohne Config s.u.) beim Starten, dass er kein lirc findet, allerdings scheint die Fernbedienung als Tastatur zur funktionieren:
    • Test mit fb bringt messages im syslog (kann ggf später entfallen)
    • xev zeigt tastaturreaktion, wenn man fb bedient
    • KDE lautstärke regler funktioniert bereits :)
    • Cursorbewegungen (auf/ab/rechts/links) funktinieren u.a. hier im wiki :)
    • war jetzt nach einigen Eingaben nicht stabil - prüfen!

In den VDR bindet man die Fernbedienung mit dem plugin remote ein. Passender Auszug aus der /etc/sysconfig/vdr 

 VDR_PLUGINS="remote"
 VDR_PLUGIN_ARGS_remote="-i /dev/input/ir

Die Berechtigungen für das IR-device (/dev/input/ir) müssen so eingestellt werden, dass der VDR (Benutzer vdr) darauf Zugreifen darf. 

 chown vdr:users /dev/input/ir

Die FB muss beim ersten Benutzen im VDR trainiert werden, wenn die Datei /etc/vdr/remote.conf nicht angepasst wird (Datei stelle ich bei Bedarf zur Verfügung :).
