vdr with nexus-s rev 2.1 crashes with ttxtsubs and osdteletext when zapping
by Magnus Andersson 06 Jul '05

06 Jul '05

Hello! When I switch from an encrypted channel from my DVB-S (Nexus-S rev. 2.1) to DVB-T Airstar2 vdr crashes almost every time but if I go from a free to air channel it is no problem. If vdr does not crash it goes to the first channel in channel.conf. The channel I choose shows up and freezes for a short while (less than a second) after about a second and then it goes on for another 10 seconds as it should and then it dies or goes to the first channel. softcam 0: switched to FTA softcam 0: setting new SID 1090, source c000, transponder 1da DVB-T to DVB-S always works. There is no problem with this if I use vdr-xine plugin instead. NO other changes. I tried to remove plugins and saw that if I removed osdteletext and ttxtsubs the problem is gone. My family needs subtitle for moviechannels and animal planet, discovey. I really want to use my FF card instead of using softdevice because it is easier for me to use the computer while the other watch tv. I am almost ready to give up and I have tried vdr 1.3.18-27 and 3 different hotplug firmwares under gentoo linux and kernel 2.6.10-12. Today I learned a new thing and if I start a recording on an encrypted DVB-S channel before switching to a DVB-T channel it worked. :) Both osdteletext and ttxtsubs uses teletext PID in some way I supose. Is this the problem together with FF card? Please help!! /Magnus

mplayer.sh and AID 0
by C.Y.M 04 Jul '05

04 Jul '05

I was just debugging mplayer.sh because I could not get it to play a .vdr file with an audio track set to "0", then I realized that if the AID is set to 0, the mplayer plugin does not actually specify 0 for the AID track (it just leaves it blank). The following changes to mplayer.sh fix the problem. while shift; do if [ "$1" = "SLAVE" ]; then declare SLAVE="$1" elif [ "$1" = "AID" ]; then declare AID="-aid $2" shift fi if [ "$AID" = "" ]; then declare AID="-aid 0" fi done Regards, C.

by Andreas Mair 04 Jul '05

04 Jul '05

Hi, I've just released VDRAdmin-0.97-am3.2 at http://andreas.vdr-developer.org. 2005-05-12: 0.97-am3.2 - Added "make uninstall" to remove VDRAdmin from your system if you have installed it using "make install". Please always use this before you install a new release! - Fixed programming of repeating timers when day is "D" (Thanks to "maxkr" for reporting this). - Print date in prog_list & prog_list2 in system's locale. Please comment! - More transparent "selected channels" usage. - Added reccmds.conf content to rec_list (needs valid VDRCONFDIR in vdradmind.conf) - AutoTimers can now be limited to certain weekdays (Patch submitted by Magnus Schmidt). - Streaming can be turn on/off for live viewing and recordings viewing (Based on code submitted by Tobias Grimm). - Added streaming button to prog_list2. - Fixed handling of incorrect start/stop times in AutoTimer. - Changed localisation to use gettext() (Thanks to Tobias Grimm for doing most of the needed work). - Language can no longer be set in VDRAdmin, it's taken from your system's setting. Issue "export LC_MESSAGES=<language code>" if you need to change it, where <language code> isone of "de_DE", "en_EN", "es_ES", "fi_FI" or "fr_FR". - Added Finnish i18n (Submitted by Rolf Ahrenberg). - Fixed ":" & "|" handling in timer's directory (Thanks "vejoun"). - Added links to prog_list on channels in at_timer_list and timer_list. - Added IMDb lookup button to recording's detail view. - Added "Priority" and "Lifetime" tooltip to at_timer_list and timer_list (point mouse to timer's name). - Small changes for streaming recordings: Please update your vdradmind.conf (VIDEODIR & ST_VIDEODIR)! - Non-LinVDR logo on non-LinVDR machines (Posted by Unimatrix0 at vdrportal.de). Have fun! Andreas

Debian Sarge: /usr/include, vdr kompiliert nicht mehr
by Frederick Page 01 Jul '05

01 Jul '05

Hallo zusammen, nach dem Upgrade von Woody nach Sarge kann ich zum Verrecken den VDR nicht mehr kompilieren, /usr/include ist offenbar vermasselt. Ich erhalte massig Meldungen wie diese: config.o(.text+0x3798):/usr/include/stdlib.h:302: undefined reference to `__throw' config.o(.text+0x37a1):/usr/include/stdlib.h:303: undefined reference to `__start_cp_handler' DVB-Treiber, Kernel 2.4.31, etc. läßt sich wunderbar kompilieren, ich hab jetzt gcc-3.3 aber mein /usr/include ist scheinbar "versaut". Frage: wie kann ich das geradebiegen, daß VDR wieder kompiliert? TIA Frederick

I was just looking at the patches included with debian's vdr package, and there were two patches included that I had never seen before.

mencoding VDR streams - for Windows Media viewing
by Simon Baxter 01 Jul '05

01 Jul '05

Hi. For a change, I'm not asking about something but posting what I managed to get working today. I tried many different audio and video codecs supported in mplayer's mencoder, and have come up with the following that provide good quality viewing under Windows Media Player (and mplayer, of course). Test6) get audio to work with WPM <----THIS IS A GOOD ONE!! rm divx2pass.log frameno.avi nice -n 19 cat [0-9][0-9][0-9].vdr > Combined.vdr MENCODER="nice -n 19 mencoder" $MENCODER -ovc frameno -o frameno.avi -oac mp3lame -lameopts cbr:br=128 Combined.vdr $MENCODER -oac mp3lame -lameopts cbr:br=128 -o /dev/null -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=msmpeg4:vbitrate=1000:vhq:vpass=1 -vop scale=640:400 Combined.vdr $MENCODER -oac mp3lame -lameopts cbr:br=128 -o DoctorWho_divx3LM_mp3.avi -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=msmpeg4:vbitrate=1000:vhq:vpass=2 -vop scale=640:400 Combined.vdr This provides DivX 3 Low-Motion Video & MPEG-1 Layer 3 Audio (LAME mp3). Although x264 provides better compression and 'oac copy' provides (undetectable) better audio, the above is a good compromise - and many of the .avi s I get off the internet are using the same combination.
