[patch] build VDR VNSI addon with Visual Studio 2010 (Express)

Zoolook · 2011-04-03 19:27

Hi folks,

as I'm interested (as well as other users) in a native Windows build which includes the VNSI client, I'm trying to push this a little further by providing a patch against Pipelka's branch which adds this. I'm posting it here, as I'm not allowed to attach here in the forum. The addon then builds fine, I can even configure it, but it then fails working with a strange "No error" which I'm not able to track down:

Code:

On the VDR side, I can see that the client tries to connect, (the disconnect messages are logged only after exiting XBMC on the windows host):

Code:

2011-04-03T16:31:44.974413+02:00 htpc2 vdr: [5295] VNSI: Client with ID 0 connected: 192.168.178.71:1828

2011-04-03T16:33:20.050937+02:00 htpc2 vdr: [5295] VNSI: done

Can anyone, (perhaps Pipelka, or dushmaniac) shed some light on how to debug this?

P.S. I'll link this thread also to Pipelka on github.

Cheers,
Zoolook

the add-on is created in xbmc/pvr/addons/PVRClient.cpp in CPVRClient::Create()
it calls Create() in xbmc/pvrclients/vdr-vnsi/client.cpp

so I suggest you put a couple of breakpoints there and have a look at what happens.

I'm not maintaining the vnsi add-on so you should really ask pipelka about this.

Hello Zoolook

I just digged a bit into your problem and i think i found the solution.

In VNSISession.cpp, line 168 the lasterror of the connect in line 157 is checked. If you use a non blocking socket on windows the connect method returns the "error" WSAEWOULDBLOCK (for more info: http://bobobobo.wordpress.com/2008/11/09...ouldblock/)

So the solution is, this line 168:

if (WSAGetLastError() == WSAEINPROGRESS || WSAGetLastError() == EAGAIN || WSAGetLastError() == WSAEWOULDBLOCK)

Now the addon loads and i can play around in the live tv menu.

My only problem is now that i get a debug assertion failed error in xbmc\utils\MathUtils.h when i want to play a channel. Just checking what this can be.

If you have any clue just tell me.

With regards

Joniw
