Keymacros to access to a menu entry
by Rose M 28 Jun '05

28 Jun '05

Hello! I've been trying to create a keymacro to access to restart option of vdr menu with a single button defined to my remote control (User1). I read man vdr (5) and I configured my keymacros.conf file but it didn't work when I use vdr. Then, I tried to do a keymacro to a plugin that seems easier but it didn't work. Here I put the lines I tried: To menu entry: User1 Menu Down Down Down Down Down Down Down Ok Down Down Down Down Down Down Down Down Down Ok Ok User1 @Restart Menu Down Down Down Down Down Down Down Ok Down Down Down Down Down Down Down Down Down Ok Ok To femon plugin: User1 [@femon] Menu Down Down Down Down Down Ok User1 @femon User1 @femon Menu Down Down Down Down Down Ok None of these works. Can someone tell me if these lines are correct? If they are, can someone say why they don't work? Any idea would be wellcomed. Thanks, Rose M. ______________________________________________ Renovamos el Correo Yahoo! Nuevos servicios, más seguridad http://correo.yahoo.es

boot times
by Simon Baxter 27 Jun '05

27 Jun '05

I see on the WIKI people have posted boot times, as low as 15 seconds. My boot time is terrible - haven't timed it, but would imagine it has to be 180 seconds plus. I am still running udev (FC3), which seems to take a large amount of time. I'm sure I could probably strip out some of the other processes (like the NTP sync - why is that run at start up!! Surely it should happen in parallel, not sequentially) Has anyone done a strip-down checklist of the things that must and must not be started? Any tuning recommendations?

[PATCH] time warp
by Birgit & Andreas Böttger 27 Jun '05

27 Jun '05

Hi all, I use the nice "set system time" feature of vdr. But sometimes vdr seems to read gabage time from DVB, jumps through the time and miss out timers. To avoid souch time warping, I use the assumption, that garbage values never be the same twice: eit.c, line 261 ff. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- cTDT::cTDT(const u_char *Data) :SI::TDT(Data, false) { CheckParse(); time_t sattim = getTime(); time_t loctim = time(NULL); static int lastDiff = 0; int diff = abs(sattim - loctim); if (diff > 2) { if (abs(diff - lastDiff) < 3) { mutex.Lock(); isyslog("System Time = %s (%ld)\n", *TimeToString(loctim), loctim); isyslog("Local Time = %s (%ld)\n", *TimeToString(sattim), sattim); if (stime(&sattim) < 0) esyslog("ERROR while setting system time: %m"); mutex.Unlock(); } else { isyslog("diff = %d, ignored to avoid time warp :)", diff); } lastDiff = diff; } } ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Kind regards Andreas Böttger

Using VDR with more than one DVB card?
by Erik Tjernlund 27 Jun '05

27 Jun '05

I've been using VDR for a long time with one DVB-C card. Now I've added a second, identical card (Technotrend DVB-C 2.1). I get a picture, but it's of very low quality and breaking up all the time. Do I have to do something special to get this setup to work properly? Suggestions? VDR: 1.3.27 DVB: latest CVS Here's the lspci output for the cards (formatted for readability): 0000:00:0b.0 Multimedia controller: Philips Semiconductors SAA7146 (rev 01) Subsystem: Technotrend Systemtechnik GmbH Technotrend/Hauppauge DVB card rev2.1 Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 64, IRQ 11 Memory at cfffce00 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) 0000:00:0d.0 Multimedia controller: Philips Semiconductors SAA7146 (rev 01) Subsystem: Technotrend Systemtechnik GmbH Technotrend/Hauppauge DVB card rev2.1 Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 64, IRQ 5 Memory at cfffcc00 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) /Erik -- "Put me back on my bike!" -- Tom Simpson <http://erik.tjernlund.net/> <http://erik.tjernlund.net/pictures/>

EPG on Travelchannel
by Tobias Grimm 26 Jun '05

26 Jun '05

Hi! With vdr 1.3.27 Travelchannel behaves a little bit strange. Each time I tune to this channel, the CA becomes 3331 and the channel becomes unavailable. Is there anything I can do about it besides disabling channel updates globally? bye, Tobias Travel;Landmark Travel Channel Limited:11778:vC34:S19.2E:27500:163:92=eng,93=pol,120=hun,121=rus:41:0:28003:1:1068:0

Dolby digital - recording and DVD plugin
by Matthias Fechner 26 Jun '05

26 Jun '05

Hi, i checked the documentation now and i found, if i set Use Dolby Digital to no, no dolby digital audio is recorded anymore. But to see a dvd with DD without DD equipment, it seems that i need to disable it. Is it possible to record movies with DD, but dont replay it with DD? (maybe a new option in VDR?) -- Bye Matthias

VDR developer version 1.3.26
by Klaus Schmidinger 26 Jun '05

26 Jun '05

VDR developer version 1.3.26 is now available at ftp://ftp.cadsoft.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-1.3.26.tar.bz2 A 'diff' against the previous version is available at ftp://ftp.cadsoft.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-1.3.25-26.diff The changes since version 1.3.25: - Updated the Estonian OSD texts (thanks to Arthur Konovalov). - Updated the Finnish OSD texts (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - Fixed handling 'summary.vdr' files with more than two empty lines (thanks to Christian Jacobsen for reporting this one). - Improved resetting CAM connections (thanks to Marco Schlüßler). - Implemented cVideoRepacker in remux.c to make sure every PES packet contains only data from one frame (thanks to Reinhard Nissl). NOTE: currently this doesn't work with MPEG1, so if you use MPEG1 you may want to change line 1158 in remux.c to ts2pes[numTracks++] = new cTS2PES(VPid, resultBuffer, IPACKS); as it was before. - EPG events without a title now display "No title" instead of "(null)" (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - A device can now detach all receivers for a given PID, as is necessary, e.g., for the bitstreamout plugin (thanks to Werner Fink). - Added the year (two digits) to recording dates in LSTR, and thus also in menus (suggested by Jan Ekholm). - Fixed the call to Channels.Unlock() in cEITScanner::Process() (thanks to Reinhard Nissl). - Fixed handling timers with a day given as MTWTF--@6, i.e. a repeating timer with first day not as full date, but just day of month (thanks to Henrik Niehaus for reporting this one). - Removed an unnecessary #include from osd.c (thanks to Wolfgang Rohdewald). - Fixed dropping EPG events that have a zero start time or duration, in case it's an NVOD event (thanks to Chris Warren). - Fixed handling page up/down in menu lists in case there are several non selectable items in a row (thanks to Udo Richter for reporting this one). - Added cOsdMenu::SetCols() to allow adjusting the menu columns. - Modified cEITScanner::Process() so that it works on systems with only budget cards or a mix of DVB-S, DVB-C or DVB-T cards. The DVB driver I am currently using can be found at ftp://ftp.cadsoft.de/vdr/Developer/linux-dvb.2004-12-26.tar.bz2 which is the CVS 'HEAD' version from 2004-12-26, made available as a complete archive for your convenience. Of course, you can also use any newer driver version. Have fun! Klaus
