RE: [vdr] Update for NTSC problem
by Vladimir Shved 29 Mar '05

29 Mar '05

I get exact same problem if I load drivers without NTSC patch, make sure the patched drivers are loaded instead of non-patched. On my system I've built kernel and DVB drivers as modules. After system starts I unload kernel drivers and load patched dvb-kernel drivers from CVS. (dvb-kernel/build-2.6/insmod.sh unload; dvb-kernel/build-2.6/insmod.sh load) Check with "lsmod" to make sure all DVB drivers unloaded after "insmod.sh unload", if something is not unloaded, add it to the script for unloading. > -----Original Message----- > From: vdr-bounces(a)linuxtv.org [mailto:vdr-bounces@linuxtv.org] On Behalf > Of Andrey Vlassov > Sent: Tuesday, March 29, 2005 11:30 AM > To: vdr(a)linuxtv.org > Subject: [vdr] Update for NTSC problem > > Hi, > > I have described my problem with NTSC output for North America in my > previous post.

Changed behaviour in firmware 261d?
by NewsBox 29 Mar '05

29 Mar '05

Hi all, I just updated to firmware 261d for my nexus 2.1 and noticed a change in behaviour: with the original dvb-kernel 1.1.0 firmware when a recording started on a different transponder then that I was watching I got a black screen with the message: "Channel not available" and vdr switched to the recording channel, with the new firmware the picture freezes and nothing happens. Only Channel + or Channel - defreeze the picture and switch to the next available channel (not neccessarily the recording one). Is this intended/normal behaviour? with kind regards Peter Marquardt -- They say that if you play a Windows Install CD backwards, you hear satanic messages. That's nothing; play it forward and it installs Windows.

Update for NTSC problem
by Andrey Vlassov 29 Mar '05

29 Mar '05

Hi, I have described my problem with NTSC output for North America in my previous post. I did apply suggested patch but it didn't solve my problem. Now I would like provide more details for the problem. If I start VDR without tuning to any channel I will get "rolling" picture on TV in B/W (it looks like PAL mode). But if I use szap and tune the DVB-S card to some channel I will get correct picture on the screen of TV. Then if I start VDR and tune same channel I will get correct picture/sound. So, it looks like if the card find signal it will work in NTSC mode (weird behavour). Other problem I found is that if I switch between channels on the same transpoder I will get picture/sound (TV channel) or sound (Radio channel). If I am on radio channel I have "rolling" screen and B/W picture. It looks like I am in PAL mode again. But if I switch to other transpoder I get no picture and no sound and "rolling" screen again. What is most interesting I never had a problem to tune up by using szap program but can not do it in VDR. I guess that it somehow can be related to patches I applied for plugins I use. I will recompile VDR without plugins to see if I am right about it. Is there somebody uses same setup as mine for North America? I would like to hear about your experience. I have next configuration CPU: Athlon 1.2GHz RAM: 512MB OS: Fedora Core 2 VDR: 1.3.22 Plugins: rotor remote control DVB-S: Nexus-S 2.3 Location: North America/Canada Andy

vdr wiki [offer to help] <rant>
by tony 29 Mar '05

29 Mar '05

OK this is going to be a rant on docs in English (again)... <rant mode> I was messing around this weekend on the Wiki and noticed that there is a hell of a lot of interesting information (well a lot of information, I can't read German) on the German Wiki that is not available on the English one. If you want VDR to be a German only application project fine, please say so now, and we will make a fork. If you want VDR to kick puny Myth's ass we need more support in English. DVB-T is arriving in France and we are not all able to read German here! DVB-T is in Australia and the UK too in case you haven't noticed! And Italy for Pete's sake! </rant mode> Please German guys translate each and every page into English. If it is very bad English post the page URL here and I (and/or other native English speaking people) will read and correct the mistakes. If I or others add information we will do the same so that you may translate to German and add to the German Wiki. We need to move forward because Myth sucks (compared to VDR) and they are getting all the good press because people from all over can read the Docs. Thanks for your time Tony

In my experience 11M WLAN is not fast enough for a DVB streaming. The actual throughput of WLAN network can be as slow as 1/3 or even 1/5 of the theoretical throughput. The actual speed depends on the hardware and software you (and your neighbors) have... You should try what's the maximum TCP streaming throughput of your WLAN using e.g. ftp or scp, and then go to the nearest computer shop and buy a 54M WLAN :-) Teemu -----Original Message----- From: vdr-bounces(a)linuxtv.org [mailto:vdr-bounces@linuxtv.org] On Behalf Of norm(a)dressler.ca Sent: 27. maaliskuuta 2005 2:35 To: vdr(a)linuxtv.org Subject: [vdr] Xine - with network support?

HDTV material
by Tomas Prybil 28 Mar '05

28 Mar '05

Happy Easter to all of You vdr listers! I'm looking for some recorded HDTV material to start the exploration of HDTV. I currently doesn't own a budget card and as I understand from reading not able to record the available streams. Could one kind soul perhaps make a link available with some not copyrighted material such as trailers or advertising in order to get the feeling of what HDTV could be? BR /t
