Simple menu for DVD ?
by Gregoire Favre 16 Nov '05

16 Nov '05

Hello, I would like to have a script that take my vdrsync.pl mpeg created files and directly create a DVD with ONE menu, without animation and without sound, only text to choose which movie to play DIRECTLY, without going to another text menu or so. Something like : create_dvd my_firt_movie.mpg my_second_movie.mpg my_third_movie.mpg which will create a DVD with ONE text menu with choices : my firt movie my second movie my third movie And possibly with as much chapters as possible on each movies (99) and with language for first audio being set to de, second audio to en (if exist). I am aware of "videotrans" at http://sourceforge.net/projects/videotrans/ which I think make too many things (I don't want animated menu or so). Thank you very much, -- Gr/'egoire FAVRE

Softdevice plugin problem
by Norm Dressler 16 Nov '05

16 Nov '05

Hi there, I'm setting up 1.3.36 with softdevice 0.2.1. It seems to compile fine but when I try to run it I get: vdr: ./PLUGINS/lib/libvdr-softdevice.so.1.3.36: undefined symbol: dc1394_create_handle Any suggestions where to look or what could be wrong? Norm

[Feature request] directing keymacros to dedicated servicename (instead of plugin)
by Stefan Lucke 15 Nov '05

15 Nov '05

Hi, current definiton of file keymacros.conf allows simple keys to be sent to plugins only. Example User1 @plugin_name Down Down Ok As with vdr's new Service() interface a more flexible solution would allow sending arbitrary actions to plugins independent of plugin's menu layout. This could be done by either reserving a special name or a special prefix character. User1 @plugins_service service_name data_for_service or User1 §service_name data_for_service -- Stefan Lucke

[patch] load i18n versions of commands/reccmds.conf
by Lucian Muresan 15 Nov '05

15 Nov '05

Hi, I'd like to propose a patch for further i18n of VDR, namely in the commands.conf and reccmds.conf files. Even if any user can customize these files to his whishes (and language), I think that it is more consistent from the VDR user interface point of view if the commands defined there also change their language on the OSD, according to the OSD language setting. All that the user has to do, is to provide, additionally to the "normal" files commands.conf and reccmds.conf, the version(s) in the language(s) he want's to use as commands.conf.xyz and reccmds.conf.xyz, where ".xyz" is the 3-characters language code defined in VDR's i18n.c: // The 3-letter names of the language... { "eng,dos", "deu,ger", "slv,slo", "ita", "dut,nla,nld", "por", "fra,fre", "nor", "fin,smi", "pol", "esl,spa", "ell,gre", "sve,swe", "rom,rum", "hun", "cat,cln", "rus", "hrv", "est", "dan", }, Important notes: - There is *no problem* if VDR does not find such translated command files at startup or at OSD language switching on the fly, it will always fall back to the default and if those are missing, as you already know, it's not a big deal either, so the behaviour doesn't change (except that there is a syslog message if such a customized file hasn't been found, just to inform users who are reading the logs, that *they could have* multiple command file versions according to configured OSD language, for english setups it#s absolutely silent as before); - this will only work with the *first* name for languages where multiple 3-letter names are defined; - As english is all over in VDR's source code specially treated, this makes no exception here, so it's indeed treated specially: english files need *no* such 3-letter extension, and are *only* loaded in their default form.

changing priority of current receiving device.
by syrius.ml＠no-log.org 15 Nov '05

15 Nov '05

Hi, Could someone give me a little help to write a new function to vdr ? I'd like to be able to change the priority of the receiving device from a plugin. >From the plugin i'm able to find the index of the receiving device with cDevice::ActualDevice()->DeviceNumber() But all my attemps to change the priority have resulted in segfaults. (after having moved some things from protected/private space to public) Any example would be very appreciated. :) TIA --

create a channel by SetId(int Nid, int Tid, int Sid, int Rid = 0)
by Patrick Fischer 15 Nov '05

15 Nov '05

Hello Today I'm wondering about the SetId from cChannels.h As I know, I can specify a channel only by NID, TID and SID I know vdr don't use the way, but is there an way to switch to a channel only by this values? I have tried this code: cChannel* channel = new cChannel(); channel->SetId(8468,12801,16406); cDevice::ActualDevice()->SwitchChannel(channel,true); If I execute this code, vdr will show me only the last still Pic of the old channel. The values are from my channels.conf created with w_scan Name <http://www.vdr-wiki.de/wiki/index.php/Syntax_der_channels.conf#Name> Frequenz <http://www.vdr-wiki.de/wiki/index.php/Syntax_der_channels.conf#Frequenz> Parameter <http://www.vdr-wiki.de/wiki/index.php/Syntax_der_channels.conf#Parameter> Quelle <http://www.vdr-wiki.de/wiki/index.php/Syntax_der_channels.conf#Quelle_-_Sou…> SRate <http://www.vdr-wiki.de/wiki/index.php/Syntax_der_channels.conf#SRate_-_Symb…> VPID <http://www.vdr-wiki.de/wiki/index.php/Syntax_der_channels.conf#VPID> APID <http://www.vdr-wiki.de/wiki/index.php/Syntax_der_channels.conf#APID> TPID <http://www.vdr-wiki.de/wiki/index.php/Syntax_der_channels.conf#TPID> CA <http://www.vdr-wiki.de/wiki/index.php/Syntax_der_channels.conf#CA_-_Conditi…> SID <http://www.vdr-wiki.de/wiki/index.php/Syntax_der_channels.conf#SID> NID <http://www.vdr-wiki.de/wiki/index.php/Syntax_der_channels.conf#NID> TID <http://www.vdr-wiki.de/wiki/index.php/Syntax_der_channels.conf#TID> RID <http://www.vdr-wiki.de/wiki/index.php/Syntax_der_channels.conf#RID> RTL2:578000:I0C23D12M16B8T8G4Y0:T:27500:353:354:359:0:16406:8468:12801:0 If I don't find a better way, I will parse my channels.conf for the SID,NID and TID If I found the right line, then I can create a cChannel with cChannel-Parse(the found line); I don't like the alternative way. Can anybody tell me a better way? greetings Patrick

Wrong NID's in channels.conf generated with dvbscan
by bluedrops 15 Nov '05

15 Nov '05

Hi to all, I know this isn't exactly vdr related but it seems nobody has time to look at this problem on linux-dvb mailing list. I'm not a programmer so I can do some testing at home but modifying scan.c is too much for me. Perhaps there are some DVB guru's on this list who could help me ? I use dvbscan to generate channels.conf file for vdr and the problem is I'm getting wrong NID's in this file. This is a BIG issue because when I do a transponder scan in VDR, it finds the same channels twice because of different (but right) NID's BUT sets VPID and APID to 0. So there are a lot of unusable duplicate channels. Here is what Johannes Stezenbach said : 2005/10/24, Johannes Stezenbach <js(a)linuxtv.org>: > Quite likely the SI data on Hotbird is inconsistent, e.g. the NITs > sent on different transponders contain differernt NIDs for the > same multiplex. However, I don't have time to look into this, and > I don't even have SAT receiption... > dvbscan should take the NID only from the NIT entry for the > transponder it is currently tuned to (check parse_nit()). I'm using dvbscan with more than 23 orbital positions and I not only have the problem with Hotbird so I'd really like it to be fixed. Here is an example : Hotbird 6 (13.0E) - 11662.00 V Multivision channels are NID 318 instead of 176 (see www.lyngsat.com or www.kingofsat.net) I've made dumps for pids 0 and 16 with "dvbsnoop -pd 7 PID". Each one is about 30 sec. 0.dump.bz2 (4k) : http://www6.rapidupload.com/d.php?file=dl&filepath=1500 16.dump.bz2 (202k) : http://www2.rapidupload.com/d.php?file=dl&filepath=882 --------------------------------------------------------- Transponder PID-Scan... --------------------------------------------------------- PID found: 0 (0x0000) [SECTION: Program Association Table (PAT)] PID found: 16 (0x0010) [SECTION: Network Information Table (NIT) - actual network] PID found: 17 (0x0011) [SECTION: Service Description Table (SDT) - other transport stream] PID found: 18 (0x0012) [SECTION: Event Information Table (EIT) - other transport stream, present/following] ... I've noticed in 16.dump for PID 16 : Network_ID: 176 (0x00b0) [= >>ERROR: not (yet) defined... Report!<<] Also, Network_ID reported by dvbsnoop for the example I've given seems to be right (176) in 16.dump. Thanks for helping, bluedrops

which tv-out card?
by Leo Márquez 15 Nov '05

15 Nov '05

Hi all, I want help a friend to set a budget cards based (dvb-t and dvb-s) vdr box in a standard computer (not micro-atx) I don't have the hardware info (only cpu athlon 1800) but the connector to be used is s-video to scart-tv. We have planned to set softdevice and use the tv-out of a vga card to connect it to the tv. Do you recommend any vga card or any kind work with softdevice?. I need directfb or only softdevice? I have no experience with softdevice. I actually have an epia system but with a ff nexus card. Thanks.

G400 tiny bit harder to setup than G450. Also first head becomes unusable, screen is blank and all you can do is use keyboard to control VDR. I did not try X on these. Right now running G400DH/16Mb and it seems to work great, runs for days without problems. I actually like this setup better than FF card, less audio sync problems, cheaper and no firmware ARM crashes. And I've tried ATI 7000 series, 9800 pro and GF2 mx440, OSD is real bad on those, also seems to work only with X. When using directfb, I could not get OSD to come up at all. CPU usage was lower, about 10% average comparing to 30% with Matrox, thats on athlon-xp 2200+. I think FX5200 might be good choice, anyone tried it? Also tried Dxr3/Hollywood+, TV-out is nice, OSD is much improved but still very unstable. Driver is crashing, needs to be reloaded, sometimes I had to restart whole system to get it back to normal. --Vlad
