hi luca, ml, > I doubt they will release them for their new!(tm) and improved!(tm) one. well, perhabs it is not needed by sigma itself :) the em8550 boxes are available and running with openshowcenter for example, and the new dxr6 cards should be available in 2-3 weeks (over a german distri), 165eur per card; gtc allwell (http://www.allwell.tv - howto - scroll to bottom) has the full linux driver package with samples on theire ftp server. look after "MRUA". additional, a new design is currently be done by a few developers based on the upcoming st stv7100 platform, keyfeatures like 3 tuners (3 ts inputs, which could also be one dvb-t, one dvb-s and one analogue input), hdtv 1080i picture-in-picture, sata, hdmi output and so on. first meetings with the vendor maked clear that they are very open about linux and after the demo of vdr on a activy300, they were really impressed. keywords: "pearl box", "auvision", "neuston mc500", "em8621l PCI", "die box II"; should be enough to find the (german) thread on vdr-portal.de -- randy

hi, > I do not know how hard it might be to actually replay > such a stream properly on a FF card, but why should it > be impossible to record the stream with a FF card? i think the limitation is the av7111; the chip simply cannot handle 20mbit datastream. since the tuner data outputs are not directly connected to the saa video bridge (like the budget patch does) there wont be a chance recording hdtv (mpeg2) with a ff card. > And why does it have to crash? vdr and the av7111 dont know that the signal is a hdtv stream. therfore they want to process it, since vdr was designed to do this ;) wait for the "new" streamingboxes (em8550 based) or new "dxr6" card (em8620 based), then it would be possible to "live-view" hdtv within vdr with a budget card - or design a hdtv ff card based on the trimedia pnx1500 chip :) -- randy

hi, > but why should it be impossible to record the stream with a FF card? what i forgot: if you use streamdev-server, you can do a "suspend live tv"; this disables the video decoding stuff and then it is possible to record and stream hdtv. more infos about hdtv and vdr: http://www.vdr-wiki.de/wiki/index.php/HDTV (german only currently) -- randy

Bug: VDR shuts down while recording - SVDRP related
by Joerg Knitter 13 Apr '05

13 Apr '05

Hi, on sunday, I have found a weird behaviour that I never had before and which seems to be a bug concerning SVDRP. Every sunday, nvram wakes up my VDR for recording "Lindenstraße" and turns it off automatically after the recording - as long as I don´t press any key on the remote. The same situation was this sunday: The "Lindenstraße" recording started short before 18:50. While the recording was running (and I did NOT touch the VDR), I added another timer for a broadcast starting at 19:00 ("Unser Charly") with VDRAdmin (-> SVDRP). This recording also started successfully. Few minutes later, I stopped the recording of "Lindenstraße", because we could watch it live, and deleted the recording with VDRAdmin. The recording of "Unser Charly" was still running. Then, I changed the end time of the timer of "Unser Charly" with VDRAdmin while it was recording. After doing this, the VDR immediately shut down instead of continuing recording the broadcast until the changed end time. Don´t know the code but if on a timer change the timer is first deleted and then set again, it might be clear why VDR thought that it can shut down - as long as no key has been pressed. With kind regards Joerg

RE: [vdr] Odd error, no free slot for PID
by Rantanen Teemu 12 Apr '05

Lauri Tischler wrote: > Where are the pid slots defined ? You could change MAXPIDHANDLES (if I remember correctly) in VDR to a larger value. I had few of these and this cured it without any other visible symptoms. But beware, my recordings and viewing usually end up into a budget card and only up to one recording or viewing on a full card at a time... At some point streamdev in combination with subtitles ate up quite a lot of PIDS, and the limit was reached with only few recording + viewing + streaming (if they ended up into the same DVB device). And also, VDR doesn't (didn't?) seem to understand that it might try another card which also could receive that channel, but gives up instead. I guess I lost subtitles on couple of recordings and audio on one, before I noticed this was the reason. Teemu

looking for help for translation ...
by Gerhard Steiner 12 Apr '05

12 Apr '05

Hello, I am planing a small patch to implement commands for timers. Most of the work is simply copy&paste from the existing commands for recordings. And for this I need a string in i18n.c Could someone be so kind to translate this entry to a language used in VDR? The string is: { "Timer commands", "Befehle für Timer", "",// "Slovenski" "",// "Italiano" "",// "Nederlands" "",// "Português" "",// "Français" "",// "Norsk" "",// "suomi" "",// "Polski" "",// "Español" "",// "ÅëëçíéêÜ", // Greek "",// "Svenska" "",// "Românã" "",// "Magyar" "",// "Català" "",// "ÀãááÚØÙ", // Russian "",// "Hrvatski" "",// "Eesti" "",// "Dansk" }, Thanks for any help Gerhard -- Sparen beginnt mit GMX DSL: http://www.gmx.net/de/go/dsl

[PATCH] dxr3 better (hopefully) color management
by Luca Olivetti 12 Apr '05

12 Apr '05

Hi, try the attached patch. Note that the number of regions is arbitrary, the real limit is the total spu data (see http://web.archive.org/web/20020309020308/http://members.aol.com/mpucoder/D…), but that's more difficult to foresee (anyway, in case it's reached the dxr3 plugin won't send any data to the spu). Note also that the plugin doesn't check the maximum number of sections (I've added a warning but it will probably segfault in case too many sections are added). I still couldn't find the cause of color bleeding: both the color manager (apart from the error fixed by the patch) and the spu encoder seems ok to me.

Odd error, no free slot for PID
by Lauri Tischler 12 Apr '05

12 Apr '05

I'm building and testing my new VDR-box. Starting some timers and recordings, six actually, after starting seventh recording I got following errors in log -- Apr 12 17:45:23 vdr2 vdr[4017]: ERROR: no free slot for PID 650 Apr 12 17:45:23 vdr2 vdr[4017]: ERROR: no free slot for PID 1027 -- Maybe they are not VDR related at all, but something in my system kernel 2.6.11 + patches from bytesex NEXUS-S plus 2 NOVA-T cards.
