Bug 508816 – media-plugins/vdr-audiorecorder-0.1.0_pre14-r3 does not append music to ID3 header files

• Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Mark Dominik Bürkle 2014-04-26 20:28:01 UTC]

After running vdr-audiorecorder in record mode for some hours, my filesystem filled up with nicely sorted author/song.mp2 files.
However, those files only contained the headers of the files.

Watching the filesystem while recording revealed that several recordings took place at the same time (about four stations were recorded simultaneously) and temporary files with music were created in the audiorecorder base directory, but those were never appended to the header files, they were simply discarded.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. install vdr
2. install vdr-audiorecorder
3. record using audiorecorder via vdr's menu system
Actual Results:  
only .mp2 ID3 header files are created, length up to 1320 Bytes

Expected Results:  
music should be appended to those ID3 header files, so they should be some 3-8 MBytes in size.

[Comment 2 Mark Dominik Bürkle 2014-04-26 23:09:21 UTC]

installing twolame (with libsndfile + flac) and restarting vdr didn't do the trick. :-(

Apr 27 02:16:20 video vdr: [9951] [audiorecorder]: your version of libavcodec (ffmpeg) is not compiled with mp3 support (audiorecorder.c, probe_audio_codecs())

I guess that's it, will try...

only virtual/ffmpeg was compiled with "-mp3"; changing package.use and running "emerge -avuND @world" revealed no packages to rebuild.

Rebuild of virtual/ffmpeg anyways done and another restart of vdr: no change.

[Comment 7 Mark Dominik Bürkle 2014-04-29 21:59:30 UTC]

On Sunday night to monday, I messed a bit around with the source of vdr-audiorecorder and got it to work as expected.
However, there is more to be done in that code and some of the changes I've done were only configuration changes. I'll have to check if these config changes (no fade out, no fade in, target format mp2) are sufficient for the unmodified source to work as expected; I guess a "mkdir" call is missing.

However, a patch can be supplied, if there is demand for it.

[Comment 8 Joerg Bornkessel (RETIRED) 2014-04-30 14:27:29 UTC]

a lot of debug lines, thanks for this

i have adapted this plugin and source is available on
http://projects.vdr-developer.org/projects/plg-audiorecorder
i will attach a -9999.ebuild to check out the git repo for your local testing.
the existing author has give up the project any years ago, iam collected all the patches from vdr-portal.de and applied they in the repo.
some cleanups around and new makefile handling etc.

help is always welcome ;)
in the existing ebuild's (in the moment), it is really unclear, what package is needed with which use-flag,
anyway, source and ebuild is quit old and has only low assistance/support

it would be helpfull if you provide some lines in what package/use-flag combination you have running this plugin.
missing dirs, how did you wrote etc.

sorry, iam did not use this plugin for now, but i will give him on weekend a first try ;)

Created attachment 376078 [details]
vdr-audiorecorder-9999.ebuild for local testing

atached vdr-audiorecorder-9999.ebuild for local testing only

[Comment 10 Mark Dominik Bürkle 2014-04-30 22:26:31 UTC]

I get errors "undefined symbol: _ZTV9TiXmlText" from libvdr-audiorecorder-2.0.0 and the plugin is ignored.


BTW I get buffer overflows since I turned on some setting which I don't remember exactly.
Testing with /etc/vdr/setup.conf_off... kind-of-"bisecting" with setup.conf revealed that

xineliboutput.Remote.Rtp.AlwaysOn = 1

was causing the buffer overflows (and application crashes). (Not the Parameter --local=37890; crashed with --local=none, too.)

[Comment 11 Mark Dominik Bürkle 2014-04-30 22:52:51 UTC]

My settings for audiorecorder (works with unmodified 0.1.0-pre14-r3 version:)

video vdr # grep audiorecorder /etc/vdr/setup.conf
audiorecorder.audio_codec = mp2
audiorecorder.bit_rate = 9
audiorecorder.copies = 0
audiorecorder.default_view = 3
audiorecorder.fade_in = 9
audiorecorder.fade_in_mode = 0
audiorecorder.fade_out = 12
audiorecorder.fade_out_mode = 0
audiorecorder.file_pattern = 0
audiorecorder.max_postproc = 20
audiorecorder.max_receivers = 12
audiorecorder.min_free_space = 50
audiorecorder.pause = 1
audiorecorder.start_type = 0
audiorecorder.upper = 0
video vdr # 

It does not work with fade_in_mode <> 0 or fade_out_mode <> 0.

[Comment 12 Joerg Bornkessel (RETIRED) 2014-11-05 15:00:44 UTC]

Marc Dominik,

please could you give vdr-audiorecorder-2.0.0_rc5 a try?

this version will fix some errors, including the false/positiv error

8< snipp >8
Apr 27 02:16:20 video vdr: [9951] [audiorecorder]: your version of libavcodec (ffmpeg) is not compiled with mp3 support (audiorecorder.c, probe_audio_codecs())
8< snapp >8

btw, twolame is wrong, it needs ffmpeg/libav with use-flag mp3 which pulls in
media-sound/lame

on my tests, mp3 files will be encoded with content + mp3 tags
mp2 file will only decoded if the result will not stored in a subdir
i.E author/song.mp2
// need fixing, later...

author-song.mp2 works if you enable it on osd plugin setup

this restricting is not for mp3 results

I had both installed, uninstalled twolame, updated to vdr-audiorecorder-2.0.0_rc5, changed settings to output:mp3, turned it on and -vuupp- my harddisk is filling with mp3 songs.

Great, works for me!

Kind regards,
