vdr-xine and overscan area
by Anssi Hannula 22 Feb '05

22 Feb '05

Hi! I'm using xine plugin here with a desktop (over network, actually). But there is one rather irritating problem: There are (at least on Finnish channels) usually different kinds of color borders, distortions etc. in the edges (the area that gets overscanned in televisions). Is there a way to cut the overscan area from the video? If not, I (and many xine users in Finland, I believe) would greatly appreciate such a feature in the postprocess plugin. -- Anssi Hannula

Tv-Out on an Nvidia card
by norm＠dressler.ca 22 Feb '05

22 Feb '05

Hi all, I currently have my system configured where I have my X11 configured with 2 output devices, 0.0 and 0.1. :0.1 is set up with my TV-Out on my Nvidia card. I'm using Xine with vdr because I have a budget card. I set my display to :0.1 and then run Xine in full screen mode and away it goes. My question is, is this the best way of configuring my system?

Xine and DEBUG_OSD problems
by Simon Baxter 22 Feb '05

22 Feb '05

Hi. I'm making progress on getting VDR working the way I want. There's a colleague at work who uses the xine plugin for replay, and the DEBUG_OSD screen to remotely control vdr via ssh. This is kind of what I want to do, but have 2 problems. 1) Xine-plugin still doesn't work. -Xine DOES work directly with the DVB (i.e. can watch DVB channels), but not with VDR. -The VDR buttons are visable on the Xine Keymap editor (so I guess the xine-ui compile must have worked) -I can see vdr … [View More]drivers being loaded when I start 'xine --verbose=2' (so I assume the xine-lib was also successful) When I try and open 'xine -p vdr:///fifty/video/plugins/xine/noSignal.pes' Xine says unknown mrl: vdr:// Same if I just try 'xine -p vdr://' Does this sounds like the xine-lib is still broken? Or am I trying to use VDR the wrong way. 2) In an attempt to get VDR DEBUG_OSD working, I recompiled vdr-1.3.21 with the following in the Makefile: ifdef DEBUG_OSD DEFINES += -DDEBUG_OSD NCURSESLIB = -lncurses endif When I try to start './vdr' or './vdr -Pxine' nothing happens on the command prompt. I expected the ASCII debug OSD to start. /var/log/messages says : Feb 21 11:47:07 nzbaxters vdr[8654]: VDR version 1.3.21 started Feb 21 11:47:07 nzbaxters vdr[8654]: loading /fifty/video/setup.conf Feb 21 11:47:07 nzbaxters vdr[8654]: loading /fifty/video/sources.conf Feb 21 11:47:07 nzbaxters vdr[8654]: loading /fifty/video/channels.conf Feb 21 11:47:07 nzbaxters vdr[8654]: found 1 video device Feb 21 11:47:07 nzbaxters vdr[8654]: setting primary device to 1 Feb 21 11:47:07 nzbaxters vdr[8654]: device 1 has no MPEG decoder Feb 21 11:47:07 nzbaxters vdr[8654]: SVDRP listening on port 2001 Feb 21 11:47:07 nzbaxters vdr[8654]: loading /fifty/video/themes/sttng-default.theme Feb 21 11:47:07 nzbaxters vdr[8654]: loading /fifty/video/themes/sttng-default.theme Feb 21 11:47:07 nzbaxters vdr[8654]: ERROR: no OSD provider available - using dummy OSD!

renaming recordings with vdradmin
by Carsten Presser 21 Feb '05

21 Feb '05

Hi, I updated my patches which can be used for renaming of recordings with vdradmin: http://www.kippe6mark.de/vdr/data/vdr-aio21_svdrprename.patch http://www.kippe6mark.de/vdr/data/vdradmin-0.96-rename.diff This patch adds a rename feature to svdrp (RENR). My patch is based on the rename patch, so you need to patch vdr with enAIO2.1 first. The second patch is based on a plain vdradmin-0.96. Carsten Presser.
