by Andreas Share 17 Dec '05

Hi, attached patch should make the rcu code NPTL compatible. Without the patch using an RCU will fail (vdr hang during startup) on an NPTL enabled system. I have only move over L.

Retuning if tuning fails...
by Chris Warren 17 Dec '05

17 Dec '05

I have a problem in VDR that sometimes when I change channel I just get corruption displayed on the screen and choppy sound. If this happens I have to tune to a different transponder and back again to get the channel to show correctly. Some times I'll have to do this 2 or 3 times before it'll work. I don't know what's causing this, it happens with both encrypted and FTA channels. I've adjusted my PWM value on my FF card, so I get AFC of (-1) or (0) each time, and I get a frontend lock all the time. Has anyone come across this and does anyone know of a way to either stop it happening, or automatically tune to a different transponder and back again if it happens? Many thanks, Chris

[PATCH] text2skin - show partial channel numbers whilst changing channels
by Chris Warren 17 Dec '05

17 Dec '05

Hi all, Please find attached a patch against the latest CVS version of the text2skin plugin which makes it show partial channel numbers whilst changing channels. The ChannelNumber(const cChannel *Channel, int Number) function performs a check for Channel being null and displays the partial channel number appended by "-" when it is. However it's never called when Channel is null due to a check in display.c.

remote plugin reacts on 2 remote controls
by André Bischof 16 Dec '05

16 Dec '05

Hello, the remote-plugins works well with my nova-t's remote control, but unfortunatly it reacts on my tv's remote-control as well. Switching AV on my tv seems to be the same as the power-button on the nova-t's remote control, thus powering my vdr off. The only solution I can think off is disabling the key in the remote.conf for the power-button or using another button for the power-off event, which both seems not quite nice to me. Do you know another solution? Thanks, André

[ANNOUNCE] New version of mhwepg
by Jean-Claude Repetto 16 Dec '05

16 Dec '05

Hi, Since a few weeks, Dutch people have trouble to get EPG for Canal Digitaal with mhwepg. I have found the reason of the problem : Canal Digitaal does not send anymore the local time in the TOT (Time Offset Table). As a workaround, I have added the -t option that can be used to set manually the time offset (in seconds). In winter : add "-t 3600" to the command line. In summer : add "-t 7200" to the command line. I have posted the new version (0.4.3) on my web site : <http://jrepetto.free.fr/> For people wondering what is mhwepg : mhwepg is a program to extract proprietary EPG Data sent by the Canal+ group (Mediahighway receivers) and parse it into a VDR compatible format. It can be used to get a 7-days EPG for Canal Satellite (France), Cyfra+ (Poland), Canal Digitaal Satelliet (Netherlands), and Sky Italia. Jean-Claude

Channels and pid update possible bug
by Suur Karu 16 Dec '05

16 Dec '05

Hello. I have a some weird situation with enabled channels name and pids update (vdr-1.3.37). channels.conf fragment: ********** K1;SPACECOM:10722:h:S4.0W:27500:257:258:0:0:1:4369:1:0 OTV;SPACECOM:10722:h:S4.0W:27500:513:514:0:0:2:4369:1:0 1PLUS1;SPACECOM:10722:h:S4.0W:27500:769:770,771:773:0:3:4369:1:0 TV KYIV;SPACECOM:10722:h:S4.0W:27500:1025:1026:0:0:4:4369:1:0 MEGASPORT;SPACECOM:10722:h:S4.0W:27500:1281:1282:0:2600:5:4369:1:0 K2;SPACECOM:10722:h:S4.0W:27500:1537:1538:0:0:6:4369:1:0 TEST;SPACECOM:10722:h:S4.0W:27500:1793:1794:0:0:7:4369:1:0 STB;SPACECOM:10762:h:S4.0W:23250:33:34:38:0:1:0:0:0 M1;SPACECOM:10762:h:S4.0W:23250:49:50,51:0:0:2:0:0:0 TONIS;SPACECOM:10762:h:S4.0W:23250:65:66:0:0:3:0:0:0 ICTV;SPACECOM:10762:h:S4.0W:23250:97:98,99:100:0:5:0:0:0 M1 Int;SPACECOM:10762:h:S4.0W:23250:113:114,115:0:2600:6:0:0:0 ********** For example when switch to channel STB, some channels above from other transponder change names as: K1 to STB OTV to M1 1PLUS1 to TONIS MEGASPORT to ICTV K2 to M1 Int If switch back for example to K1, all upper names restored and bottom changes vice versa. I see, that name pairs have same SI, but other parameters are different. Switcing off name and pids update feature is not a good idea for other useful changes on other channels.. I hope my explanation is clear enough for understanding and any help is welcome. Regards, SK

Re: [vdr] VDR on a Pentium 166 mhz: it works !
by Travel Factory S.r.l. 15 Dec '05

15 Dec '05

> > Do you speak of VDR > 1.3.27 with c*Repacker family enabled? > I just downloaded vdr-1.3.37, unpacked, installed plugins femon, channelscan and rotor, compiled "make all plugins" I didn't change any parameter so I can't say if c*Repacker is enabled.. how can I check ? Anyway, today I had my first problems: - started a recording from DVB-T, changing channel on the same DVB-T "transponder" is ok, when I switch to sat, audio is from SAT, video is the last frozen frame from DVB-T. Curiously, zapping the sat channels, changing the actual resolution of the sat channel, the frozen frame on screen was resized, zoomed etc. Switching back to DVB-T video started again - seconds afterwards, PC completely locked and I was forced to hard reset Francesco
