RE: [vdr] Cut Recordings SVDRP patch
by christian jacobsen 04 Jun '05

Hallo, > I wanted to write this patch for a long time - now I finally > managed to get > it done. > > I added a SVDRP command "CUTR <number>" that starts a cutting > thread for the > numbered recording on the server Nice idea :) I might add this to AutoCutter as the second option to vdrcutter2. Maybe you should take a look at AutoCutter (English README in the tar) : http://www.vdrportal.de/board/thread.php?threadid=31155 It adds recordings to different Queues and could run on your server but be controlled by your client :) Means (if you like) run NoAD after recording and later when you are ready Batch-Cut all recording with on single commands.conf command. It even supports sharemarks - up/downloading cut-marks from an Web Server - http://www.vdrportal.de/board/thread.php?threadid=34492 The next version 0.3.0 (release within a 3-5 days) is far more configurable than before, has further multi-disk system Optimizations and Renaming of Recording. You can decide what should happen to a recording based on the Channel it was recorded on, Recordingname or summary.vdr content. More when it is released ;) Greetings Christian Jacobsen

Single Timers deleted, why?
by Rainer Zocholl 04 Jun '05

04 Jun '05

[vdr] VDR developer version 1.3.23 ff. |- The day of a timer is now stored as a full date in ISO notation | ("YYYY-MM-DD") in 'timers.conf' and for the result of the | SVDRP command LSTT (based in parts on a patch by Roman Krenicky). |- Single shot timers are now reliably deleted when they have expired. I really thought it was a feature that "single shot timers" became not deleted. (IMHO) it is no good idea that "single timers" are now deleted (immediately?) after done generally. Reasons: - Sometimes i missed a regular timer (because of work at VDR?) or the recording was broken or only partial due to delays, so it was nice just to pickup the last "once" timer and reactivate it. - There is the problem that the EPG is not going backwards very much(while it would be no problem to hold 4 weeks or the whole day backbards only max.2h are possible meanwhile.), so no "timer base" could be used if i found a "single shot timer event" being worth to become a regular timer. - It might happen that the timer again fails...so i need to scan again the schedules to find a timer base. (I know that there are some tools that might help(vdradmin,matsertimer?), *if* EPG or an internet acces exists). - The user can delete those few timers on his own. (a "multiple select" would be nice (for channel editing too).) - If there is no EPG at all, setting up a timer from scatch is nasty. Maybe the user should get the chance to generally say: "delete single timer when done automatically" or "let the user delete it manually". Or is there now a way to generate a timer (base) from recording summary? That would be more elegant than editing the timer entry. (But would not help much if the single shot timer failed...) Rainer

If > there is no 'info.vdr' > file for a recording, an attempt is made to read a 'summary.vdr'. summary.vdr from Master-Timer is not shown correctly. Example what they look like (enriched with infos from tvmovie2vdr). I would not expect that VDR parses Title or Subtitle ;), but it would be nice if it would just show everything in the file : ID: "41615360" Title: "Bean" Subtitle: "Der ultimative Katastrophenfilm" Description: "Spielfilm/Komödie, GB/USA, 1997, FSK: 6 (Bean) [ DolbyDigital ] Kurzkritik: Mr. Bean ist voll in seinem Element! Action ** / Thrill * / Humor *** / Allgemein *** Museumswärter sorgt in L.A. für Chaos. Nach einer Millionenspende kann endlich ein amerikanisches Kunstwerk vom Pariser Musée D'Orsay freigekauft und in die Grierson Gallery nach Los Angeles zurückgebracht werden. Um dieses Ereignis gebührend zu feiern, hat man einen Kunstexperten von der Royal National Gallery of England eingeladen. Dr. Bean soll eine feierliche Rede halten - ein grober Fehler, wie sich zeigt. Denn Bean, in Wirklichkeit der Museumswärter, sorgt überall nur für Chaos und Katastrophen!

suggestion: version stamping of patches
by Rainer Zocholl 04 Jun '05

Hello wouldn't it be helpful if applied patches are logged when VDR starts? So no patch could be forgotten to be mentioned in a bug report! nvram-wakeup displays msi:~# nvram-wakeup -D nvram-wakeup: Printing debug messages enbled. nvram-wakeup: $Id: nvram-wakeup.h,v 1.38 2005/03/16 22:43:39 bistr-o-math Exp $ nvram-wakeup: $Id: nvram-wakeup.c,v 1.78 2005/03/16 23:41:35 bistr-o-math Exp $ nvram-wakeup: $Id: nvram-wakeup-mb.c,v 1.279 2005/05/11 11:51:17 bistr-o-math Exp $ nvram-wakeup: $Id: bios.c,v 1.6 2004/01/23 12:00:04 bistr-o-math Exp $ nvram-wakeup: $Id: gmt-test.c,v 1.17 2004/07/21 12:19:57 bistr-o-math Exp $ nvram-wakeup: $Id: byteops.c,v 1.6 2003/03/18 13:44:03 bistr-o-math Exp $ nvram-wakeup: $Id: nvramops.c,v 1.3 2004/05/03 22:40:13 bistr-o-math Exp $ nvram-wakeup: $Id: guess.c,v 1.24 2005/03/16 22:43:39 bistr-o-math Exp $ I think that was a nice idea. can't patches modify/add a string to a "Versionstring table" too, which VDR logs in syslog and (maybe) displays in the command window?

Should VDR identify the audio stream type
by Daniel THOMPSON 03 Jun '05

03 Jun '05

Hi Folks I (along with some other folks at my company) are developing a LinuxDVB implementation for one of our devices. Since VDR (combined with vdr-dvd) is one of the most feature complete applications targeting this API we have been using it a one of our reference clients. One of the aspects of VDR's behaviour that surprised me is that it never sets the audio stream type (AUDIO_SET_STREAMTYPE or AUDIO_SET_ATTRIBUTES). This leaves the LinuxDVB implementation to guess the stream type from its contents or its PES headers. Is the absence of the above LinuxDVB operations from VDR an oversight because the existing full-featured cards don't need them or have these calls been deliberately omitted? Would patches to introduce them be accepted? -- Daniel Thompson (STMicroelectronics) <daniel.thompson(a)st.com> 1000 Aztec West, Almondsbury, Bristol, BS32 4SQ. 01454 462659 If a car is a horseless carriage then is a motorcycle a horseless horse?

Remote control with --rcu
by Tom A 03 Jun '05

03 Jun '05

Hi! I've been using vdr for a while with the remote plugin listening on a TCP port. Now that I want to make my PVR usable for people other than myself I have been trying to fix up my irda adapter. The adapter I am using is one which plugs in to the motherboard and I have all the kernel modules built and can see it working by using minicom on /dev/ttyS1. When I start vdr with --rcu=/dev/ttyS1 it doesn't go in to learning mode so I assume it's not working. (The remote.conf has been deleted!) Does anyone else use a similar setup? I'd prefer to avoid lirc if possible but am open to other solutions. I'm using 1.3.24 (-2.ds - thanks Darren!) and am trying to start vdr with... vdr --rcu=/dev/ttyS1 '-Pxine' Thanks. Tom
