New VDR-Release soon?
by Dirk 28 May '05

28 May '05

Hello Klaus, I would like to update my VDR installation to the latest version. But if was is likely that you release a new version soon (tomorrow) I would wait until then. If a new VDR release is not very likely to be released real soon, then I do the update now. Thank you, Dirk

Nexus-2 Rev 2.3: No remote, no PCM sound
by Wolfgang Rohdewald 28 May '05

28 May '05

Hi, I just received a new Nexus-S Rev 2.3 and installed it with kernel 2.6.12-rc5 and Firmware 261d. Video works, I can record and replay recordings. But I cannot get the remote to work and I have no PCM sound. Both worked with Rev 2.2 and everything else is identical. First the remote: I tried root@mm:~# av7110_loadkeys /etc/vdr/roc650.rc5 >/proc/av7110_ir root@mm:~# evtest /dev/input/event2 Input driver version is 1.0.0 Input device ID: bus 0x0 vendor 0x0 product 0x0 version 0x0 Input device name: "DVB on-card IR receiver" roc650.rc5 did work with my old Nexus-s Rev 2.2. I also tried hauppauge_grey.rc5, nothing either. evtest does not react on anything. What could I try next? The sound: I do have analog sound, just not SP/DIF. The A/V receiver does recognize a PCM signal coming from the Nexus, but is simply is silent. setup.conf says CurrentVolume = 255 ay 28 11:27:42 mm kernel: saa7146: found saa7146 @ mem de98ce00 (revision 1, irq 11) (0x13c2,0x000e).

Q: Where to download patches
by Pasi Juppo 27 May '05

27 May '05

I'm trying to compile plugins for vdr 1.3.24 but yaepg plugin fail to compile. There are relevant patches for these plugins at HoochVDR website but for some reason none of the files can be downloaded (I have account for this site). Any idea if these same patches can be downloaded elsewhere? Br, Pasi

Which kernel to use?
by Rainer Zocholl 27 May '05

27 May '05

Hello which kernel is "best" for VDR? On the one hand i read, that the DVB developers are only working on the 2.6. drivers and may (may be?) port them back to 2.4.x, if possible. I assume it will not be possible as "back porting" is no beloved job. ;-) OTHO Klaus only tests with the 2.4 kernel, as he recomends still the linux-dvb.2004-12-26 driver, which can't be compiled with 2.6 But then i read that NTPL is used by VDR, a feature only existing in 2.6 kernel IIRC. I want to upgrade to 2.6. because the USB support of 2.4 so bad and obsolete (It's not possible to write some 10 MB to a USB: The box will hang. Connecting webcams is game of luck how long they will work until the box freezes.) So, what's the way of VDR and kernel? Rainer

dvd-plugin Crash in combination with LCDProc
by Joachim Wilke 27 May '05

27 May '05

Hi there, i am using the dvd-plugin (cvs-version) in combination with LCDProc-plugin and VDR 1.3.24. I noticed, that the replay of a dvd only works in rare cases. In most cases the hole vdr crashes. With some debugging I found out, that the LCDProc-plugin calls the cDvdPlayer::GetIndex method every second, to get the current position in the replay. But the first call of this always returns garbage values. See the following log: // May 15 19:46:43 vdr vdr[10096]: dvd-plugin thread started (pid=10096, tid=425993) ... May 15 19:46:44 vdr vdr[10065]: DEBUG: Current -990219231 - Total -990219231 May 15 19:46:44 vdr vdr[10065]: DEBUG: -11002:-26:-9 May 15 19:46:45 vdr vdr[10065]: DEBUG: Current 25 - Total 75 May 15 19:46:45 vdr vdr[10065]: DEBUG: 0:00:03 May 15 19:46:46 vdr vdr[10065]: DEBUG: Current 50 - Total 75 May 15 19:46:46 vdr vdr[10065]: DEBUG: 0:00:03 May 15 19:46:47 vdr vdr[10065]: DEBUG: Current 75 - Total 75 May 15 19:46:47 vdr vdr[10065]: DEBUG: 0:00:03 May 15 19:46:48 vdr vdr[10096]: dvd-plugin thread ended (pid=10096, tid=425993) // These values differ from call to call. Nevertheless "current" and "total" are always identical. The LCDProc Plugin seems to have problems with these values and crashes in the most cases. Unfortunatly my knowledge is not sufficient enought for further debugging. So I am not able to finde the source of these garbage values. Does someone else noticed this problem? Does anybody have a clue how to fix it? Regards, Joachim.

softdevice doubts
by Leo Márquez 27 May '05

27 May '05

Hi!, I'm setting up a VDR with a budget cinergy 1200 terratec dvb-t card. The mobo is epia-M (svideo out). I want to use svideo but while I'm setting up I would use my crt monitor(softdevice+FB?) to see my vdr output. Can I done this with softdevice? With which output method? What output methods have I to comment(to not be used) in softdevice makefile to do this? Finally when I put the VDR in my saloon what output method have I to choose to use the svideo out?(softdevice+DFB?) Thanks

again a VDR on Epia-M board issue.. maybe another perspective
by Thomas Glomann 27 May '05

27 May '05

Hi, I eagerly followed the recent thread about using VDR on an Epia-M board either with softdevice or xine plugins. To sum things up: # if you want a real settop-box w/o keyboard, mouse, .. you better use the the softdevice plugin, right? # however, the softdevice plugin does not take use of the onbaord mpeg2 decoder. So running on a M6000, VDR will probably work in software decoding but it has a rather very high CPU usage. right? :) So, I certainly prefer the softdevice solution, but unless there is no real hardware decoding done (hope there will be some work in the future on this topic), I am going the "full-featured" way. I have an absolutely silent Epia SettopBox running for over a year now this way. Never change a running system, well, but yet, I want to get rid of that full-featured DVB-s card because : - It is worth a lot of money and thus I could sell it .. - I have another ff card but which has a broken tv-out. (we all know this nasty problem..) After some short thinking, I came to the following idea: Is it possible to use my "broken" ff card along with the softdevice plugin (over DirectFB)? I mean, the ff card does provide hardware mpeg2 decoding and provides the picture over the v4l interface I think. Thus I could use a DirectFB tv app to display the video for example. Or am I wrong?? Now, could the softdevice plugin be modified in a way that it takes the decoded video from the ff card, instead of the ffmpeg software decoder, and then overlays the decoded video with the OSD (using DirectFB). In short, can the softdevice plugin somehow take use of the onboared hw mpeg2 decoder of a ff card? The advantages of this combination would be : - one can build a very low power settop box with enough spare resources for other background tasks - no limiting OSD memory as with the (unmodded) ff cards - high quality VGA-out instead of the ff cards integrated fbas-out (or RGB-scart), well RGB-scart gives very good quality, but a real VGA signal is probably the best if you connect a big LCD-TV. So what do you think? Best regards, Thomas
