Hi, VDRAdmin-0.97-AM3.4.2 is available at http://andreas.vdr-developer.org. Have fun! Andreas HISTORY 0.97-am3.4.2 - Updated de, es and fi translation (got no response by fr translator). - Use the channel name as title if title in timer_new is empty (Requested by Hardy Flor). - Improved handling of dates reported by "lstr". - SMTPAuth for sendEmail. - Fixed: Programming a timer using InternetExplorer, didn't return to the previous page but gave an error (Reported by several people). - Remember sorting after (in)activating selected timers (Reported by Atti). - Updated Template-Toolkit to v2.13. - Reworked sorting in rec_list/timer_list/at_timer_list. - Activate/Inactivate selected timers in timers_list (Requested by Atti). - Event's title in prog_summary/prog_list/prog_list2 links to prog_detail (Requested by Scorp). - Added "Refresh" button in rec_list to refresh the cache of the list of recordings. - Fixed popup if deleting timers/recordings/autotimers containing a "'" (Reported by Saxman2k). - Remember sorting after deleteing or editing timer or autotimer (Reported by Atti). - Improved re-connect to VDR if VDRAdmin crashes. - Set "LANGUAGE" environment variable to "" on startup, so it causes no problems with language setting in VDRAdmin. - Added caching of listing of recordings.

Defaults to "60", "0" disables caching. - Remember sorting when toggling in timer or autotimer list. - New configuration option for Timers: don't add summary. - Email notification for AutoTimer can be set in configuration menu. - Optimized AutoTimer matching a little bit. - Reworked detection of another VDRAdmin process if pid file exists. - No more config settings that require a VDRAdmin restart. - Find "sendEmail" program in $PATH. - For VDR >=1.3.24 use VDR's timer flags for finding timers that are currently recording. - Fixed sendmail notification for AutoTimer. - If /usr/bin/locale is not available, language can be entered in textfield instead of chosing in selectbox. - Fixed wrong display of double quotes in timer_list and at_timer_list. - Fixed browsing in "recordings" menu (if there are folders having the same name). - Added new skin "default" (InternetExplorer has problems with displaying it). - Removed i18n.pl. - Localization can be set in configuration again. - Added "Transponder" and "CA-System" to tooltips in timer_list. - Show recording's summary and subtitle in rec_edit (Requested by BigDiSt). - Check for and shorten too long summary when programming timer. - Check for too long commands sent to SVDRPort. - Channel select box in TV. - "Test" button in AutoTimer edit for showing results of current settings (Requested by Hardy Flor). - Link from channel name in prog_list2 and timer_list to prog_list. - Bring popups to the front (e.g. help, prog_detail...) (Based on a patch submitted by Ville Skyttä). - Reuse existing TV, RC and help windows (Based on a patch submitted by Ville Skyttä). - Send vdradmin.m3u when streaming. - Tooltips in timer_list, prog_timeline and at_timer_list can be deactivated (Requested by Hardy Flor). - Fixed wrong HTML tags in rec_detail (Reported by foobar42).

ttxtsubs and vdr > 1.3.22
by Tomas Prybil 05 Dec '05

05 Dec '05

Hi list! I have an odd problem. Ttxsubs and vdr versions above 1.3.22 stops displaying subtitles after a short while (like 1 min) when watching recorded shows. Watching live tv works perfectly well. If I stop/restart the replaying subtitles starts displaying again ok for another minute or so. This behaviour came somewhere (I think) with versions greater than 1.3.22. Other plugins loaded? No just the ttxtsubs plugin. Another oddity: If I continue to watch the recorded stream it picks up the subtiles from another show and starts display them instead of the proper ones!! (Hmm Ragge where did You go?). It's reproducable on both my systems. The second one only uses precompiled debian packages from e-tobi.net. /t

Feature request : reccords EPG change
by Gregoire Favre 04 Dec '05

04 Dec '05

Hello, VDR is perfect regarding EPG for most channels, but not for those who don't send 7 days EPG. I would like to have an option when adding timers, to reccords all EPG that the timers cover. Will that be possible ? Thank you very much, -- Gr/'egoire FAVRE

[vdr-xine] how to get full screen...
by Eric GRAMMATICO 04 Dec '05

04 Dec '05

Hi All, I use vdr-xine plugin, and I am not able to have full screen covering all the TV screen. What I am not able to explain is that the X11 foreground cover all the TV screen, but Xine doesnt, and I have to configure tvoverscan in xorg.conf in order to. Thanks to femon, I saw some of channels are 720x576 and others 544x576. Does anyone know how to have xine displays in really full screen the both resolutions ? My config: nvidia FX 5200 FC4 xorg-x11-6.8.2 nvidia-glx-1.0.7676 vdr-1.3.34 vdr-xine-0.7.6 xine-cvs20050814180000 xine-lib-cvs20050814180000 my xine line command: /usr/bin/xine --config /root/.xine/config --auto-play=q -V xxmc --post vdr_video \ -Dtvtime:method=Greedy2Frame,cheap_mode=0,pulldown=0,use_progressive_frame_flag=1 \ vdr:/tmp/vdr-xine/stream#demux:mpeg_pes Extract of my xorg.conf: Section "Monitor" Identifier "Monitor0" VendorName "Monitor Vendor" ModelName "Unknown monitor" HorizSync 30.0 - 50.0 VertRefresh 60.0 - 60.0 ModeLine "720x576@60" 33.0 720 752 872 904 576 587 593 605 EndSection Section "Device" Identifier "Videocard0" Driver "nvidia" VendorName "Videocard vendor" BoardName "NVIDIA GeForce FX" EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "Screen0" Device "Videocard0" Monitor "Monitor0" DefaultDepth 24 Option "TVStandard" "PAL-N" Option "TVOverScan" "0.7" Option "NvAgp" "1" SubSection "Display" Viewport 0 0 Depth 24 Modes "720x576@60" EndSubSection EndSection Thanks and regards, Eric.

How do you limit VDR-log to user.log only. Now it writes them all over the place, debug, syslog, messages, etc.

by Leo Márquez 04 Dec '05

04 Dec '05

Hi!, My brother is going to make a gift to me. An Onkyo A/V Receiver. This: http://www1.shopping.com/xPF-Onkyo_TX_SR501 I would know how can I integrate with my actual VDR box to take the maximum advantage of this features. I supose I have to install the bitstreamout plugin (i have an epia mobo with rca SPDIF audio output), and ac3mode? The goal I follow is get audio in the 6 speakers I will connect to the amplifier. mp3, mplayer, dvd of course, live tv. I know if the image I'm seeing don't have 6 channels I can't ear six different channels but It's possible to ear the same single channel trhougth the 6 speakers? Sorry about my poor knowledgements about it. Thanks. Leo.
