EPG data...
by Richard Lithvall 01 Nov '05

01 Nov '05

I know this issue has been discussed before but I still have some questions. Background. I receive some channels from more than one source and one of those sources carry a couple of days of EPG but suffers from low signal quality so I'd rather not use that source when recording/viewing. So I was thinking of exporting the EPG from that source and import it to my other sources EPG-data but found out that the <event id> and <table id> differs between these sources. What sets the <event id> and <table id> and are those values calculable? If these values are not calculable I'd like to know if there is an counter part to <table id>=0, that is - always overwrite this event if conflicting data comes from the DVB stream (conflicting as in overlapping start time and duration). Regards, Richard

Hi All, I am trying desperately to have softdevice plugin working on my vdr box. My config: FC4 nvidia drivers 7174 ffmpeg-0.4.8 vdr-1.3.34 softdevice-0.2.0 or cvs When vdr starts, the video is displayed but freezed, osd is running correctly, I can open the menu and do what I want. the same for recorded videos. What is strange, if I fast forward my records, it works... Nothing interesting in /var/log/messages, and console says: CMD[5119]:SetAudioMode 0 CMD[5122]:SetPlayMode PmAudioVideo CMD[5122]:Start IsSuspended 0 CMD[5122]:init put byte finished CMD[5143]:Neuer Thread gestartet: Mpeg2Decoder pid 2818 CMD[6056]:Stop CMD[6056]:Thread beendet : mpegDecoder pid 2818 CMD[6067]:stopping video CMD[6067]:stopping audio CMD[6067]:Stop finished CMD[6241]:SetAudioMode 0 CMD[6241]:SetPlayMode PmAudioVideo CMD[6241]:Start IsSuspended 0 CMD[6241]:init put byte finished CMD[6242]:Neuer Thread gestartet: Mpeg2Decoder pid 2852 CMD[6293]:new Video stream index.. old -1 new 0 CMD[6293]:Neuer StreamDecoder Pid: 2852 context 0x9ec17f8 type 0 CMD[6294]:Neuer Thread gestartet: pid:2855 type 0 CMD[6395]:SetAudioMode 0 CMD[1603]:Clear CMD[1603]:Stop CMD[1604]:Thread beendet : mpegDecoder pid 2852 CMD[1614]:stopping video CMD[1615]:thread finished pid: 2855 type 0 CMD[1625]:~cStreamDecoder: context 0x9ec17f8 CMD[1625]:stopping audio CMD[1625]:Stop finished CMD[1625]:Start IsSuspended 0 CMD[1625]:init put byte finished CMD[1626]:Clear finished CMD[1626]:TrickSpeed 1 CMD[1626]:Play CMD[1626]:Neuer Thread gestartet: Mpeg2Decoder pid 2856 CMD[1630]:new Video stream index.. old -1 new 0 CMD[1631]:Neuer StreamDecoder Pid: 2856 context 0x9ec17f8 type 0 CMD[1631]:Neuer Thread gestartet: pid:2857 type 0 ++++++++++CMD[2307]:Clear ...

Configuring VDR for UK DVB-T
by Andrew Herron 01 Nov '05

01 Nov '05

We are testing VDR 1.3.34-1 as part of a Plutohome installation ( www.plutohome.com <http://www.plutohome.com>) in the UK and are having some problems getting sources.conf & channels.conf populated with the right DVB-T EPG data. As we are complete novices in respect of VDR (having previously battled with MythTV inside Pluto... not a pleasant experience!) we were wondering if someone on this list could give us some help or point us at the right online docs to get us up to speed. Kind regards Andrew

Hello AFAIK the BBC-TV-channels are still encrypted. Are there any free channels from Great Britain? If so: could you mail the appropriate line for channels.conf? Thanks Wolfgang

Xine-Plugin, 16:9 TV, black bars
by Sebastian Frei 01 Nov '05

01 Nov '05

Hello, I have a new 16:9 display and use it with the xine-plugin. Unfortunately many stations broadcast 16:9 content in a 4:3 stream with hardcoded black bars at the top and the bottom. There is no possibility with xine and/or the xine-plugin to get rid of the black bars, the expand post-plugin doesn't work in this situation. An automatic cut-away-the-bars-function is missing. Dear R.N. please implement it. S.

vdr-1.3.35 and ttxtsubs plugin
by Luca Olivetti 01 Nov '05

01 Nov '05

Maybe Rolf has already updated the patch (you're sooo fast), but just in case with vdr-1.3.35 patched recorder.c wont.compile. It's enough to change safe_write(recordFile, subsp, len); with recordFile->Write(subsp, len); Bye -- - Yo también quiero una Europa libre de Patentes de Software - - I want a Software Patents Free Europe too!

[ANNOUNCE] VDR developer version 1.3.35
by Klaus Schmidinger 01 Nov '05

01 Nov '05

VDR developer version 1.3.35 is now available at ftp://ftp.cadsoft.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-1.3.35.tar.bz2 A 'diff' against the previous version is available at ftp://ftp.cadsoft.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-1.3.34-35.diff The changes since version 1.3.34: - Updated 'sources.conf' (thanks to Philip Prindeville). - Now using daemon() instead of fork() to run VDR in daemon mode (thanks to Enrico Scholz). - Fixed a possible endless loop in a menu with no selectable items if Setup.MenuScrollWrap is true (thanks to Enrico Scholz). - Making sure no item is displayed as "current" if Up, Down, Left or Right is pressed in a menu with no selectable items. - Added '__attribute__' to functions that use printf() like parameters (thanks to Darren Salt). - Updated the Finnish OSD texts (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - Fixed a leftover 'summary.vdr' in vdr.1 (reported by Christoph Hermanns). - Added more error messages and line numbers when reading EPG data and info.vdr (thanks to Peter Bieringer). - Updated the Danish OSD texts (thanks to Mogens Elneff). - Updated the Estonian OSD texts (thanks to Arthur Konovalov). - Added missing mutex locks to cCiMenu::Abort() and cCiEnquiry::Abort() (reported by Marco Schlüßler). - Fixed lock handling in CAM communication to avoid problems with multiple CAMs per device or CAMs with more than one smart card. - Updated the Greek OSD texts (thanks to Dimitrios Dimitrakos). - Updated the French OSD texts (thanks to Nicolas Huillard). - Fixed the cFilter example in PLUGINS.html (reported by Patrick Fischer). - The new class cUnbufferedFile is used for the recording files to avoid trashing the file system cache (based on a patch by Ralf Müller). Originally I wanted to attend to the problem with the EPG scan breaking replay with some plugins today, but then something unexpected came up, so I'm just releasing what I currently have here... Have fun! Klaus
