Hauppauge LIRC remote, FC3, buttons
by Simon Baxter 09 Mar '05

09 Mar '05

Hi. I'm having some strange problems with my VDR keymaps on Xine (running FC3 with a DVB Nova-T). I use the xine keymap editor to 'grab' keystrokes for the VDR buttons, but none of the coloured buttons (green, red, blue) are recognised? Also, immediately after I've clicked 'done' on the keymap editor the keystrokes work but a few minutes later they don't. The 'remembered' actions are still in the keymap editor, but the buttons don't do anything. Simon

bouquet field in channels.conf
by Roberto Sebastiano 08 Mar '05

08 Mar '05

Hi, I'm writing a program to edit / sort vdr channels.conf in a smart way. >From what I can understand so far, the first field format of a valid channel line is: Provider - ChannelName;Bouquet Where both provider and bouquet are optional. While I can get the provider with scan -p (from dvb-utils), I don't understand how I can get the Bouquet info. Does vdr fill the bouquet info automatically ? Is there a way to get the bouquet info manually ? Thanks, Roberto

After upgrades, vdrcd + mp3 + dvd broken
by Jussi Mantere 08 Mar '05

08 Mar '05

Hi list, last weekend I did a pile of upgrades, upgrading the DVB drivers to latest CVS version, VDR to 1.3.22, dvd-plugin to latest cvs, mp3 to 0.9.11 and vdrcd to 0.0.10.1. (from, I recall, 1.3.16, a December cvs, 0.9.7 and 0.0.10). cdfs remained as 2.4.20. Previously, all has been well: you insert a disc, select "Play Disc" from menu, and it either mounts it as CDFS or ISO9660, depending on whether it's an audio cd or dvd, then it starts playing. Not anymore: now, depending on how you start VDR, it always mounts the disc as CDFS or ISO9660 --> either audio cd doesn't work, or DVDs launch mplayer instead of the dvd plugin. So, with startup "-P vdrcd '-c /mnt/cdfs /mnt/dvd'" you always get CDFS mount, with "-P vdrcd '-c /mnt/dvd /mnt/cdfs" you stop getting correct functionality. Did I miss something, or has something gone kaputt in the new versions? -- . jussi mantere . http://www.iki.fi/obs/

VDR on DBox2
by Huber, Matthias RD-CP1 08 Mar '05

08 Mar '05

Hello, I've got a VDR server running with vdr-1.3.17. I also run a VDR streaming client (VIA Epia based) with vdr-1.3.11 over streamdev and NFS without problems. Now I try to get VDR running on a DBox2. The tuxbox project (Linux for Dbox2) incorporates a patched vdr-1.2.6. I could get this installed, OSD works, remote control works with LIRC. My problem is, if I try to replay a recording from the server via NFS, data gets streamed, but I see no pictures and hear no sound... Is anybody else running VDR on Dbox2 ? Is the recording format (of 001.vdr, e.g.) backward-compatible from 1.3.17 to 1.2.6 ? Greetings, Matthias

hardware recommendations?
by Craig Sanders 08 Mar '05

08 Mar '05

thanks to some off-list help from Darren Salt, i got vdr working on my desktop system and am starting to get a handle on how it all works. now i'm ready to start planning my dedicated VDR box. i've got a DVICO fusion lite card and am planning to get another DVB-T card (probably a Nova T). i've also got a few 80GB PATA drives (seagate barracuda V, 8MB cache) left over from when i upgraded my desktop to 200GB drives. so, what hardware would make an ideal vdr machine, given that i want: 1. smooth playback of recordings and of live TV 2. possibly simultaneous recording of two programs (or recording one while watching live TV or a recording). 3. occasionally i will want to burn stuff i want to keep to CD or DVD, without interfering with either recording or smooth playback. and without producing coasters because the system is overworked. of course, i could do this on my desktop, but would prefer to do everything on the vdr box. 4. working infrared remote control 5. decent sound quality 6. minimal hassle with kernel compiles - i.e. preferably GPL drivers included IN the standard kernel sources a nice (but not essential) extra would be the ability to occasionally run X on my TV (a panasonic TX-47P800H rear-projection, 1080i HD capable) to run firefox or some other browser...and useful applications like mozilla calendar, maybe even mutt in an xterm. i guess that 256 or 512MB would be more than adequate (the more ram, the better the disk buffering) - and since the price difference between 256 and 512 is minimal i may as well get 512M. the main things i'm not sure about are: - what CPU to get? i'm tempted by an athlon 64, but then i'd have to start mirroring the a64 distribution of debian as well as the i386, and i'm generally not keen to pay a price premium to be a guinea-pig for new hardware....a64 and a64 motherboard designs probably won't be mature for another year or so. other alternatives P4 or and Athlon, with the athlon being slightly cheaper. - what video card to get? i have a matrox G450 in my desktop - is that adequate? i'm thinking of upgrading my desktop video card anyway, which will leave the matrox spare. actually, i'm sure it's adequate - the real question is, "is it a *good* card for a dedicated VDR box?" any recommendations? craig ps: like my desktop, the vdr box will be running debian. -- craig sanders <cas(a)taz.net.au> (part time cyborg)

[Announce]: Master-Timer 0.6.2
by Matthias Schniedermeyer 08 Mar '05

08 Mar '05

Hi http://mt.citd.de/master-timer-0.6.2.tar.bz2 New: - "Any"-match that matches any of the title/subtitle/description/actor-fields - New little helper programs "modt.pl" and "delt.pl" - New alias "copytimer.pl" for "migratetimer.pl", which doesn't delete the source-timer - For movie.pl/serie.pl the "--done"-option has a new "--[no]ask"-option Changed: - "resolv-conflicts.pl" (Which still doesn't stand up to it name, but with the new helpers from the paragrah above it got a bit more helpful) - now shows consecutive conflicts as a single block - before every instance a line of dashes is show for better visibility - vdremu.pl pings a dbox2 when it tries to start a timer and deletes the timer if the dbox2 didn't answer, to prevend "empty" recordings if you forgot to switch on the dbox2. Bugs fixed - Fixed margins for the "=0"-Case (Default-Margins where used in this case before) - Deleting a entry in "deepblack" didn't work if you had "rememberdata=1" and you did not remove "program.dat" before rerunning master-timer Notes: - I removed a feature i called "fastmatch", which pretested an EPG-Entry if it matched a title/subtitle/description or actor of any torecord-entry Depending on your configuration you might note a slight increase or decrease in performance of the master-timer.pl-part, but i don't think it is noticable (Can't say for me, because i have all "special"-cases for which the fastmatch was circumvented anyway) -- Real Programmers consider "what you see is what you get" to be just as bad a concept in Text Editors as it is in women. No, the Real Programmer wants a "you asked for it, you got it" text editor -- complicated, cryptic, powerful, unforgiving, dangerous.

[ANNOUNCE] vdr-xine-0.7.1 plugin
by Reinhard Nissl 08 Mar '05

08 Mar '05

Hi, I'm pleased to announce bugfix release 0.7.1: http://home.vr-web.de/~rnissl/vdr-xine-0.7.1.tgz 2005-02-13: Version 0.7.1 *** NO NEED TO RECOMPILE XINE THIS TIME *** - Updated finish translation (thanks to Rolf Ahrensberg for supplying the update). - Fixed a typo in checking for VDR versions before 1.3.18. This broke successful compilation for versions between 1.3.8 and 1.3.18 (thanks to Andreas Urban for reporting this issue). - Fixed processing of cDevice::SetDigitalAudio() as it skipped displaying of NO SIGNAL when switching channels. For this release I suggest the following xine sources: http://home.vr-web.de/~rnissl/xine-lib-cvs-20050127201000.tar.bz2 http://home.vr-web.de/~rnissl/xine-ui-cvs-20050127201000.tar.bz2 Enjoy. Bye. -- Dipl.-Inform. (FH) Reinhard Nissl mailto:rnissl@gmx.de

[PATCH] vdradmin-0.96 one-shot -timers
by Rantanen Teemu 07 Mar '05

07 Mar '05

This is a small patch to add support for "one-shot timers". They are autotimers which will trigger only once. This feature is useful in some of the movie channels here, which only send EPG info of current and next movie, and you want to record a movie which does have numerous re-broadcasts, and you don't want to record them all (and you don't want to go to WWW and figure out the actual time for the next broadcast). The patch is here: http://tvr.dy.fi/vdradmin-0.96_OneShot_Timers_English_Only.diff Let me know if there are any problems with the patch. PS. Thanks for Kim Nyberg for the one-shot -timer idea. PS2. It's only been implemented in the English template. Teemu
