Progress bars in text2skin: brilliant!
by Luca Olivetti 26 Jul '05

26 Jul '05

I just realized that the text2skin plugin detects texts like [||||||| ] (i.e. starting with '[', ending with ']' and only composed of '|' and spaces) as progressbars and renders them as such. I just wanted to say you: brilliant! Now, if only the vdr standard skins did the same...

Announce: VDR Channel Browser
by Lauri Tischler 25 Jul '05

25 Jul '05

Hacked together Apache/PHP based web-browser to find and delete unwanted, bogus, duplicate, radio and dead, channels. Channel selection is by partial channel name or source (S19.2E) Sorting is by Channel number or Name or Provider. Very elementary editing of channel data possible. Can be found at http://www.iki.fi/lwgt Beware that rendering web-page with 3000 channels takes a while, at least on my box. -- lwgt(a)iki.fi * Using HTML-mail is like breaking wind in a church * 60.2N 24.7E * it is not illegal, just extremely bad manners *

Improving the power management in VDR
by Marko Mäkelä 25 Jul '05

25 Jul '05

Hi all, I'm a happy user of vdr 1.3.27, subtitles-0.3.8, softdevice-cvs and nvram-wakeup. The hardware consists of a 900 MHz Celeron, a Matrox G450 video card on DirectFB 0.9.22, a Hauppauge Nova-T PCI 90002 tuner and a wake-on-remote module I just finished: http://www.funet.fi/~msmakela/electronics/worc5/ As the computer is a dedicated VDR box, it is powered on only when it is recording or playing something. I have one bug report and one feature request regarding power management in VDR. First, the bug report: If I press the Power key while playing back a recording, nothing happens (except any OSD menu will be hidden). Then, some background for the feature request: The softdevice plugin has a "suspended" flag. With a small patch, I have connected this flag to a remote control key and a solid-state relay that drives the monitor. Thus, I can power on and off the monitor from the remote control. Due to some modifications mentioned on my wake-on-remote page, the "suspended" flag will be initially set unless the computer was powered on by the remote control. So, the monitor will remain off when a timed recording happens or someone starts up the computer by a WoL packet for remote maintenance. It would be very nice if VDR knew when the output is suspended. For instance, if the user turns the monitor off by remote while VDR is recording something, VDR will know to shut down after it has completed the recording. Now we will have to explicitly come back to the computer to power it off if we touched the remote control while VDR was recording something. So, the feature request: Please introduce a "suspended" flag and a kSleep key to VDR, in the spirit of the EU Stand-by Initiative (http://energyefficiency.jrc.cec.eu.int/html/standby_initiative.htm). With best regards, Marko Mäkelä http://www.funet.fi/~msmakela/

problem with streamdev-plugin and dxr3 - client
by Johann Woeckinger 25 Jul '05

25 Jul '05

Hi, I have a configuration consisting of a vdr-server (c't vdr4) running with streamdev-server plugin and a client (linvdr 0.7 + MT patch + dxr3 plugin, VIA EPIA ME6000 + Hollywood+). Problem: on client I can't see any video stream at the tv-screen, only OSD related infos and EPG-data Additional info: streaming to an other PC using mplayer on that is ok, also vdradmin works The only strange thing I can see, is the Error message about device lock: ERROR: device 6 has no lock, can't attach receiver! What does this mean? All other messages seem to indicate that the stream has been setup. Also the log on server side indicates accepted connection and streaming. Can anybody help me? J.

Re: [vdr] 1.3.26 and streamdev-server
by Klaus Schmidinger 24 Jul '05

Harald Milz wrote: > Wow - HTTP live streaming to gmplayer works again. 1.3.27 killed it > completely. The only changes in 1.3.27 that could in any way influence this are - Removed the NPTL check at startup, since several users have reported that VDR now runs fine with NPTL. - Disabled cVideoRepacker in remux.c, because it has caused several problems during recording. If you want to test (and maybe debug) it, activate the line //#define TEST_cVideoRepacker in remux.c. The first one allows VDR to run on systems that use NPTL (there were several reports that this finally works now), while the second one just disabled the cVideoRepacker, since it has caused some problems in 1.3.26. You can easily test 1.3.27 with either of these changes reverted. Klaus

Sort Recordings, in VDR Menue
by Carl Aron Carls 24 Jul '05

24 Jul '05

Hallo, I am not sure wheater this is the right spot to post my idea, but if not you will probably help me to place it properly. The 'Problem': Having large harddisks lots of old recordings add up in the 'recordings-menu'; it may become quite messed up... My idea: add virtual folders at top of list which allow to sort 'by-Date' 'by-Name'; a vFolder containing recordings from this day and one containing the last week. How about that? I hope that this is useful information, Aron
