Hi, I've made a small patch for timeline-0.9.0 to make it work with vdr- 1.3.23 (I hope Jürgen doesn't mind, but its one of the most important plugins for me).

Showing aspect ratio or providing automatic widescreen switching signals
by Mark Watson 19 Jul '05

19 Jul '05

I just got a widescreen TV and put VDR in 16:9 mode. However there is still a lot of content still in 4:3 mode and it sometimes takes me a while to spot the short/fat people and switch the TV! It would help to see the aspect on the overlay when switching channels. Are there any plugins or patches that show the aspect on the overlay? Even better, are there any plugins that deal with providing automatic 16:9/4:3 switching signals for Scart leads? Of course a hardware mod would be required... Thanks, Mark ---------- Apologies for people on non-threaded mail programs who saw this message already. I incorrectly posted response to the "MP3 plugin and MP2 streaming" instead of creating a new thread (Hadn't realised how threading on mailing lists worked!). ----------

hard lifetime feature
by Husterer, Thomas RD-CP1 15 May '05

15 May '05

Hi, I use vdr to view the ´tagesschau´ some time delayed every day. This leads to a collection of many recordings of this program but I am only interested in viewing the last one. Therefore I wished that old recordings disappear after some days to retain my overview and to increase my operating comfort. I thought that the parameter ´lifetime´ would be a solution for this problem, but this parameter is only a very soft hint to the vdr to kill some programs if it needs the disk space. To fullfill my requirements I modified vdr in that way that it kills programs after expiry of the given lifetime without any ifs and buts. The only condition is that the given lifetime lies below some limit (like 10 days). I added a new setup parameter ´hard-lifetime-limit´ which lets you control this limit. By default this parameter is zero and the vdr behaves like before. If you increase this value then any lifeteme which lies below this limit is treated as a hard lifetime limit and programs are killed in the described manner. Is anybody interested in this patch? Regards, thus

Attaching additional 'keyboards' to vdr...remote plugin?
by Laz 15 May '05

15 May '05

I'm in the process of building a new vdr box with an Epia mini-itx motherboard and I intend to build it into the case of an old video recorder. The front panel has loads of buttons on it such as play, pause, rew, stop, rec, etc. and it would be really good if I could connect these up. :-) I have bought a USB numeric keypad (meant for laptops) that I found cheap in a sale and I have rewired the buttons on the front panel of the video into a matrix and connected them in place of the numeric keypad (it is basically just a small usb module with a keypad membrane plugged into it). All seems to work: I get a new usb input device when I attach it and if I cat the relevant input device, I can see the keypresses. So far so good. My problem now is how to actually use the thing to control vdr! At the moment, the keyboard driver is grabbing it and all I get is a series of keycodes such as numbers, *, /, -, etc. I am using vdr with a LIRC remote but it also has the keyboard remote compiled in, and, at the moment, pressing random buttons on the front panel does strange things, as would be expected! I can see at least two options: 1. Delete my remote.conf and program the 'keyboard' remote using the front panel (I won't be able to use the proper keyboard to control vdr but I'm sure I can cope with that!). 2. Use the remote plugin with the input device. If I do this, I will still be getting random commands sent to vdr through the keyboard driver, unless I can remove the usb keyboard driver and get the remote plugin to talk to the remote plugin using a raw device, or something. Has anyone managed to do something like this? I know that it is possible to use buttons attached to a gameport in conjunction with the joystick plugin but this motherboard does not have a gameport. Thoughts? Cheers, Laz

TV OUT
by Q 14 May '05

14 May '05

Hi, I know this is a long shot - and it might not strictly be related to this list (well it is and it isn't really) but I am curious if anyone out there is using a radeon X800 video card and has managed to get TV out working with it? The whole Linux TV, PVR/VDR thing isn't much use to me without TV out. Unfortunately regardless of what drivers I have used, whethere they are propriatory ATI fglrx, or open source ATI, vesa or whatever, I can't seem to get TV out working. Any hints or tips anyone can offer (particularly if anybody has one of these cards) would be very much appreciated. Best regards, GJ

[ANNOUNCE] UTF-8 patch 0.0.1 with Freetype2 font handling
by Alexander Riedel 12 May '05

12 May '05

Hi All! Sorry my English. Probably all have already faced a problem of Russian names and letters in vdr. For example it is impossible to use simultaneously both Russian and German letters in names of files (for example in MPlayer plugin). I recently have put myself vdr and it at once was not pleasant to me. So I a disgrace have changed all this. As fonts all of the different sizes and styles was necessary at the same time and freetype2 library to vdr to fasten. This is only with ttf fonts tested . Later the others I shall complete. Patch it is made for the version 1.3.23 In setup.conf added some parameters for definition of fonts. For example: FontFix = courbd.ttf FontFixSize = 16 FontOsd = arialbd.ttf FontOsdSize = 16 FontSml = verdana.ttf FontSmlSize = 12 By default fonts are as FontOsd arialbd.ttf size 16, FontSml arial.ttf size 12 und FontFix courbd.ttf size 15 These files at least for the first start should lay in config directories. For each channel in channels.conf it is possible to establish the character coding, the field is added in the end every line. For example: Das Erste;ARD:198500000:I0C34D12M16B7T8G4Y0:T:27500:101:102=deu:104:0:1:8468:9985:0:ISO8859-15 By default is ISO8859-15. Possible variants are listed in: iconv --list EPG data at reception are converted in UTF-8. So on a disk all (again created) files and descriptions will be already in UTF-8. I recommend to remove a file epg.data that data were already normally filled in UTF8 Pleasant viewings!!! -- Alexander Riedel

11 May '05

Hi a new plugin channelscan has been released. Channelscan uses a transponders .ini file from win project like prog-DVB software for create a channels.conf The homepage of the plugin is at http://www.kikko77.altervista.org goto download page for the channelscan-0.0.4.tar.bz2 archive --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- changelog: 2005-04-11: Version 0.0.4 - Channelscan is now faster because sets the filters for sdt, pat and pmt itself, so it now knows when scanning of a transponder is over.(idea from Luca Olivetti) (write by Thomas Bergwinkl) - It's now also possible to decide which service types (TV,Radio,NVOD) should be added (write by Thomas Bergwinkl) - it now checks if the dvb device, which does the scan, is able to provide the transponder. So no dvb-c/t devices will be selected for channelscan. (write by Thomas Bergwinkl) - fixed a bug, which crashed vdr if two transponders have the same polarization and almost the same frequency (write by Thomas Bergwinkl) - now take care of Setup.OSDHeigth (write by Thomas Bergwinkl) - added autorepeat for left/right buttons (suggested by Andrey Vlasov) (write by Thomas Bergwinkl) - added up/down to jump over 10 satellites (suggested by Andrey Vlasov) (write by Thomas Bergwinkl) - Add IT translation (by kikko77) *** A BIG THANKS TO Thomas Bergwinkl AND ALL BETA-TESTER FOR ALL NEW FEATURES *** --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Please read the README before to use the plugin... Any feedback is appreciated. best regards kikko77
