VDR 1.3.29 'make install' fails if no plugins have been built
by Daniel THOMPSON 30 Aug '05

30 Aug '05

Hi Folks The changes to the Makefile in 1.3.29 (and still present in 1.3.31) prevent 'make install' from working if no plugins have been built. Attached is a small patch for 1.3.31 to split install into install and plugins-install (to mirror clean and plugins-clean). -- 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?

Problem with budget and CAM
by Tomas Prybil 30 Aug '05

30 Aug '05

Hi all, I'm trying to get a budget card with CAM working. The card is reporting in /var/log/messages as having CI (or so I think) > Aug 21 20:46:51 localhost kernel: saa7146: register extension 'budget_ci dvb'. > Aug 21 20:46:51 localhost kernel: ACPI: PCI interrupt 0000:0b:05.0[A] -> GSI 22 (level, low) -> IRQ 209 > Aug 21 20:46:51 localhost kernel: saa7146: found saa7146 @ mem e09cb000 (revision 1, irq 209) (0x13c2,0x100c). > Aug 21 20:46:51 localhost kernel: DVB: registering new adapter (TT-Budget/WinTV-NOVA-CI PCI). > Aug 21 20:46:51 localhost kernel: TT-Budget/WinTV-NOVA-CI PCI adapter 0 has MAC addr = 00:d0:5c:02:df:d0 But no initialization of my Conax CAM. It works perfectly with my normal FF setup. Is there a way to debug? If I remember Klaus had some debug lines some time ago, but now i can't find it. Vdr version is 1.3.29. /t

[PATCH] Suspend/resume playback by remote control
by Marko Mäkelä 29 Aug '05

29 Aug '05

I patched VDR 1.3.30 so that audio/video playback can be suspended by pressing a remote control key, no matter which menu is open. This patch can also power off the monitor and speakers when playback is suspended. That part is behind another #ifdef. Last but not least, the new "Suspend" key can be used as an intelligent power-off key. If this feature is enabled and the playback is suspended by pressing the key, and no other key is pressed within a timeout (currently SHUTDOWNWAIT, but later it'd be be a configuration option independent of SHUTDOWNWAIT), vdr will shut itself down. If there are pending timed recordings, the shutdown timer will start counting at the end of the last recording. The patch is available at <http://www.funet.fi/~msmakela/software/vdr/index.en.html#suspend> as <http://www.funet.fi/~msmakela/software/vdr/vdr-suspend.patch>. It has been tested with the vdr-softdevice and vdr-dxr3 plugins (thanks to Martin Wache and Ville Skyttä) but not with full-featured cards. Feedback is greatly appreciated. I would love to see this feature included in the next stable release of VDR. Marko Mäkelä

Querying CAM doesn't work
by Klaus Schmidinger 29 Aug '05

29 Aug '05

According to EN 50221 an application should be able to query whether a given CAM can decrypt an actual broadcast by sending it a CA_PMT with a ca_pmt_cmd_id of "query" instead of "ok_descrambling". However, if I change the line capmt[length++] = CPCI_OK_DESCRAMBLING; in VDR/ci.c to capmt[length++] = CPCI_QUERY; I never get a ca_pmt_reply as specified in EN 50221, section 8.4.3.5. Does anybody have an idea why that is so? Is there a bug in VDR's CAM handling? Could it be that the CAMs I have just don't behave correctly? The reason why I'd like this to work is because if somebody has more than one device with CAMs that supports a certain encryption method, but only one of them has an actual smart card in it and can thus actually decrypt, it is important that VDR selects the right device. However, it can't do so if the CAM doesn't react on a query. Klaus

What is the watchdog timer flag, and why is it important? I dont see it being mentioned in the manual. Thanks, Monk.

minor OSD bug: missing menu update
by Alfred Zastrow 29 Aug '05

29 Aug '05

Hello Klaus, please try: - "pause" the live picture - view the recording by pressing "play" - press "exit" to stop viewing (OSD shows the recording list) - delete the live recording -> 2 x "OK" -> the timer is stoping - press "exit" to go to the main menu, you will still see the option to stop the recording, but this is allready stopped regards Alfred

[PATCH] ignore k_Repeat in cInterface::Wait()
by Marko Mäkelä 29 Aug '05

29 Aug '05

While testing my suspend patch (see the previous message), I noticed somewhat annoying behaviour of cInterface::Wait(). If I press the "Suspend" key for a long time, so that it makes a normal keypress event as well as a k_Repeat event, the "Press any key to cancel shutdown" prompt will be cleared by the k_Repeat event. I presume that the same would happen with the "Power" key. If I understood the loop termination condition in cInterface::Wait() correctly, only k_Repeat of kOk would be filtered out. I think it would be better to ignore all k_Repeat keycodes. Please see the attached patch. Marko

UPDATE: vdr-1.3.31-dvbplayer5.patch
by Reinhard Nissl 28 Aug '05

28 Aug '05

Hi, from http://home.vr-web.de/~rnissl/vdr-patches-README.txt dvbplayer5 (highly recommended) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ fixes VDR's recording replayer to send proper I-frames to a device. Without this patch it is very likely that incomplete I-frames are sent and therefore many I-frames will not be displayed by devices like vdr-xine or dxr3. This patch has a very positive effect on moving cutting marks and all fast trickspeed modes as well as slow motion rewind. NOTE: without this patch it is likely that xine disconnects from vdr-xine while moving cut marks. NOTE: the 1.2.6 version already contains the transfer patch. These are the links: http://home.vr-web.de/~rnissl/vdr-1.3.31-dvbplayer5.patch http://home.vr-web.de/~rnissl/vdr-1.2.6-dvbplayer5.patch This new release adds MPEG 1 support for the 1.2.6 version and fixes behaviour on radio recordings as well as recordings which were created by external sources and contain system level packets like "pack header", "system header" and "stream end". Special thanks to Fabian Wolter for supplying a suitable recording. Bye. -- Dipl.-Inform. (FH) Reinhard Nissl mailto:rnissl@gmx.de
