alternative to colored buttons
by Antonio Gallo 07 Jun '05

07 Jun '05

Hi, is there any alternative to colored buttons? I've a working (after some crash) VisionPlus that include a nice remote (keyboard protocol via USB) that has no colored buttons. Is there a way (maybe an example) on how to configure vdr to accept alternative input to colored button commands? Thank you, Antonio

vdr and YUV output
by Andreas Holzhammer - Privat 07 Jun '05

07 Jun '05

Hi, I'm in the course of converting my home cinema equipment from S-Video (Y/C) to YUV connection. Currently I use vdr with a full-featured card and s-video output through the j2 connector. What is the "recommended" way to move vdr to YUV output, as the FF cards are not capable of doing so? I don't want to shell out to much money, so RGB->YUV converters are probably out of the range. Would a cheap (PCI) ATI (Radeon 8500/9x00) card with an YUV adapter be suitable, and what picture quality is achievable through this setup? Are there any other options? The PC is a 1.3GHz celeron MediaPortal, so I can't spare to many CPU cycles on either X or software mpeg decoding. Thanks, Andreas

Firmware 0x261e
by karim 07 Jun '05

07 Jun '05

Hi List, I've tested the 0x261e firmware on my vdrbox : Firmware http://www.suse.de/~werner/test_av.tar.bz2 Kernel 2.6.11 (MDK 10.1) Driver CVS from 05/03/2005 2 x FF's dvb (Nexus) vdr-1.3.25 Now, when I view a record, I can change from "pause" to "play" as many times I want, without losing AV sync anymore. Thanks a lot for this great improvement ! Unfortunately, there is still a bug when using dvb digital output, which isn't solved yet. When I edit a record, my hc amplifier is taking down, sending "white noise" to the loudspeakers. This appears only a few time after I've jumped from a mark to another, in pause mode. Normal sound return OK when I return in play mode. Note the problem NEVER happen when changing from play > pause or pause > play, but ONLY when I use "jump" function. Since I am note an expert, I don't know if this problem must be fixed in vdr, driver or firmware. Do you have any idea on how this could be solved ? Cheers. Karim

Bug/patch in transfer.c, 1.3.25
by Wolfgang Rohdewald 06 Jun '05

this might explain why vdr often dies when switching from/to a channel with DD sound - like ZDF and Pro 7, at least I hope so.

Request: Change Dolby Digital handling
by Carl Aron Carls 06 Jun '05

06 Jun '05

Hallo, I read the request about changing the DD handling for recording and for viewing purposes and discussing it on 'VDR-Portal' I myself find it useful to have DD recorded with programms. As I very often use my tv speakers for output it is anoying to hear nothing as of the DVB-Setting set to 'use Dolby Digital'. Thanks, Aron

readable format under OSX/Win ?
by Grégoire Favre 06 Jun '05

06 Jun '05

Hello, I can create DVD that I can perfectly play under OSX and Windows, but I would prefer having just mpeg2 files that I could play. I don't have an OSX computer at home to test right now, anyone know how I could do the conversion such that I can play the mpeg2 files without needing to install something more on the OSX computer (I can't as I am only an user...) ? A solution with vdrsync.pl would be great :-) -- Grégoire Favre

Hi, I noticed that the softdevice-plugin has got a dummy audio driver. Is it possible to have a dummy video device too? Thanks. Halim

SVDRP and dates
by Jan Ekholm 04 Jun '05

04 Jun '05

Hi, I remember that there was a discussion some time ago that VDR would use a new date system for timers that also included a month/year in addition to the day. Or am I mistaken? We sometimes end up having old timers in VDR that we just deactivate but don't delete, and it's very hard to know wether a timer that is set to the "5th" is June 5th or May 5th. We still use VDR 1.3.18 and I work on a small application that uses SVDRP to get this information using LSTT. Was it so that some newer VDR version had changed the date format used? Regards, Jan Ekholm -- - "Remember -- that which does not kill us can only make us stronger." - "And that which does kill us leaves us dead!" -- Terry Pratchett, Carpe Jugulum
