hi betacentauri

I tried the lastest git and can report that:

1) Audio changing works fine, thanks a lot!
2) F11 has no effect on my setup, bear in mind I do not use a window manager, just X with mms (mymediasystem)
I launch enigma2-openpli from within mms with the following script:

#!/bin/sh
#/usr/local/share/enigma2/BrushedAlu-HD/skin.xml edit for 1920x1080
/usr/bin/svdrpsend -p 6419 -d 127.0.0.1 REMO OFF
sudo rc.d stop vdr
sudo rc.d stop cccam
sleep 1
/usr/local/bin/irxevent --daemon /etc/lirc/config/enigma2.openpli
sudo /sbin/insmod /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/dvbsoftwareca.ko
sudo /var/bin/CCcam
sleep 1
cd /usr/local/e2/bin/
sudo /usr/local/e2/bin/enigma2
# adding --geometry 1920x1080+0+0 to the previous line has no effect 
sudo killall CCcam irxevent
sudo /sbin/rmmod dvbsoftwareca.ko
sleep 1
sudo rc.d start cccam
sudo rc.d start vdr
/usr/bin/svdrpsend -p 6419 -d 127.0.0.1 REMO OFF

I have a feeling that if there was a genuine HD skin (1920x1080) it would just work fine, but all the ´HD´ skins I found are really 1280x780
I edited skin.xml a little bit more in order to fix the size and position of the info bar, and that looks quite acceptable but when I press the menu button it is hard to read as only 1280x780 are used

3) adding --geometry 1920x1080+0+0 to the enigma2 command line makes no difference

4) If I set the skin to the default one then I get a smaller window and the remote no longer works (I guess something crashes when trying to upscale the skin from SD) So to get around that I edited settings so that the BlushedAluHD would be started (that is the one with the screenshots)

Hi casacristo,

I tried the lastest git and can report that:

1) Audio changing works fine, thanks a lot!

Thanks for positive feedback!!

2) F11 has no effect on my setup, bear in mind I do not use a window manager, just X with mms (mymediasystem)

You can check whether your X supports fullscreen mode with:

> xprop -root | grep _NET_WM_STATE_FULLSCREEN

If nothing is found, you won't be able to switch to fullscreen. Perhaps you can change your X config so that it is supported...

3) adding --geometry 1920x1080+0+0 to the enigma2 command line makes no difference

I think that this is not supported. And it also won't help you because, it would scale the osd.

4) If I set the skin to the default one then I get a smaller window and the remote no longer works (I guess something crashes when trying to upscale the skin from SD) So to get around that I edited settings so that the BlushedAluHD would be started (that is the one with the screenshots)

That's curious! When remote doesn't work, does keyboard still works? Sorry, can't help you here. Don't have a remote attached to pc.

I want play my recorded files, it is't the filelist.

Thanks for the earlier

Hi,

I have made a short record and was able to watch it afterwards without problems.
Was it a normal recording and no divx, mkv,... file? Was it a hd or sd file?
Is it reproducible? If yes, can you put somewhere a short part of the recording.

hi,
Yes I did (I have it installed)
When I switch to that skin the screen looks like this:

so it is not scaling

scaling the osd would not be a problem

I use irxevent so really it just translates remote buttons to key presses, it does not use lirc

I searched a little bit in the internet. I think for this you need a window manager.
I never used linux without window manager. Therefore I have a question. So you don't have a window which you can resize with the mouse, right?
I think that we can patch your installation to a fix resolution. I'll come back to you later.

Betacentauri

[betacentauri]

New patch online:
- On systems with slow CPU and/or in case of high CPU usage there was a bug that window size was switching many times a second.
This should be fixed now.

[casacristo]

I´ve used dreamboxedit and bouquet editor suite to come up with a list of channels and bouquets
But it does not seem to work, gives an error on SID or PAT

any ideas what went wrong?

Well this is a pure HTPC so it does not even have a mouse or keyboard attached. The resolution is fixed to 1920x1080 (attempts to set another one will fail) and applications seem to have no idea what resolution is running, so if we can fix the resolution through a patch I am pretty sure it will work. At least that is the way to go with xine and mplayer. Also about the windows they are completely borderless, so I would imagine a mouse would not be able to resize them.

I launch X like this:

X -nocursor -br -quiet -dpms -allowMouseOpenFail -ac -audit 0&

Thanks a lot for your support!!

Hi betacentauri,

Thanks, I realized what the problem was.
In the Menu-Settings-System, and it seems Subtitles Audio has been selected in one language. Old xine-lib worked, and xine-lib-1.2 (from January 3 and after) crash.
Change the selection -> "No" and problem solved.
Switching audio tracks while watching Live TV works fine, thanks.

For me, the xine-lib-1.2 does not work ZOOM_X and ZOOM_Y.
Although the main problem - when running enigma2 not always show the encrypted channels (1 of 3) or to restart dvbsoftwareca,
although the keys to oscam come, but a black screen.

Hi,

The screen shot that you show is absolutely not the skin that I point in the link, it is a totally different skin.

Hi,

Do you change the destination path in Dreamboxedit?
OpenpliPC is not using the same path as Enigma2.

lamedb and your favorite should be placed there: /usr/local/e2/etc/enigma2
you satellite.xml should be place there: /usr/local/e2/etc/tuxbox

Skin are placed there: /usr/local/e2/share/enigma2
And fonts for skin: /usr/local/e2/share/fonts

Morevover you need to be root (sudo) to place file in those folders.

Hi,

You need to check you OScam log and see what's happens and adapt your oscam.dvbapi to I: (ignore) the CAID that cannot be decrypted.
If you create a script like this to launch OpenpliPC. It will launch vtuner, oscam and openpliPC in the right order, and it will also remove properly the dvbsoftwareca; since you need to "reset" it between 2 OpenpliPC launch.

 
#!/bin/sh
# Define the path where you install the file (most of the time)
# it is your home directory so I set it to $HOME by default.
HOME_DIR=$HOME
# When compiling vtunerc it is archi dependant so define it here
ARCHI=i686
#
 
printf "Removing dvbsoftwareca\n"
sudo rmmod dvbsoftwareca > /dev/null 2>&1
sleep 2
printf "Generating module list\n"
sudo depmod -a
sleep 1
printf "Starting vtunerc\n"
sudo $HOME_DIR/vtuner.apps/dist/$ARCHI/vtunerc.$ARCHI -f s2 &
sleep 1
printf "Loading dvbsoftwareca\n"
sudo modprobe dvbsoftwareca
sleep 5
printf "Starting OScam\n"
sudo $HOME_DIR/OScam/oscam -c $HOME_DIR/OScam &
sleep 2
printf "Starting E2\n"
sudo /usr/local/e2/bin/enigma2
sleep 2
printf "E2 stopped\n"
printf "Killing OScam\n"
sudo killall oscam
sleep 2
ps -ef | grep -i oscam
sleep 1
printf "Removing dvbsoftwareca\n"
sudo rmmod dvbsoftwareca
ls /dev/dvb/adapter0
lsmod | grep dvbsoftwareca
sleep 2
printf "Killing vtunerc\n"
sudo killall vtunerc.$ARCHI
ps -ef | grep vtunerc
printf "Done!\n"

One question which branch do you use? Master (vdpau) or osd

Let's try to find a solution in background (I have send you a personal message (envelop icon at the top of the page)). When we found a solution, we can post it here.

Hi Raider05,

I'll put it on my bug list.

So you say that the procedure

void cXineLib::set_zoom_settings(int x, int y)
{
xine_set_param(stream, XINE_PARAM_VO_ZOOM_X, x);
xine_set_param(stream, XINE_PARAM_VO_ZOOM_Y, y);
}

doesn't work. Right?
How can I test it? Is there in E2 a built-in function which uses zoom?

Sorry, to decryption I cannot say anything (I don't use any encryted channels)

@Pr2,
In oscam.log see the keys come, but a black screen. oscam.dvbapi configured correctly.
Has a large interval (sleep) in the startup script may cause this.
Reload dvbsoftwareca.ko also helped (1 of 2 events)
If once started enigma2 and all encrypted channels showed
It would be nice

Use master (vdpau) branch

[Pr2]

@Raider05,

Please give a try with OSD branch and force the video driver to xshm or opengl, it seems to work better on scrambled channels than vdpau which indeed sometimes doesn't cleared scrambled channels even if OScam is running fine.
