Automatically change the channel at a certain time?
by Gavin Hamill 26 Aug '05

26 Aug '05

Is this possible? With vdr 1.3.27 I'd often set a one-minute timer simply to change the TV channel in case I forget to see a certain programme (it's a live competition, so there's no point in actually recording it).. however vdr 1.3.30 is 'clever' enough to realise that the programme I selected is actually set to the wrong times, correct it, and hence start recording immediately and change the channel... Aug 25 13:33:40 telly vdr[5515]: timer 2 (105 1355-1356 'BrainTeaser') added ... Aug 25 13:41:03 telly vdr[5515]: timer 2 (105 1258-1405 'BrainTeaser') modified (active) Aug 25 13:41:03 telly vdr[5515]: switching device 1 to channel 105 Aug 25 13:41:03 telly vdr[5515]: timer 2 (105 1258-1405 'BrainTeaser') start Is there a 'reminder' plugin, or some way of turning this 'intelligence' off? Cheers, Gavin.

live picture freezes when recording starts
by Martin Dauskardt 26 Aug '05

26 Aug '05

I am not sure if the problem comes with 1.3.27 or 1.3.28, but it is still present in 1.3.30: - I am watching tv, for example Nord3 - a timer records starts on this channel - the live picture freezes. Sometimes I got a black picture and a few seconds later the live picture comes back - when the recording ends, the picture again freezes or -I am watching playback of a recording -recording ends - the picture freezes, does not switch back to live tv Three other people also reported this on http://www.vdrportal.de/board/thread.php?threadid=37983&sid=

ERROR: can't set filter (pid=110, tid=02, mask=FF): Device or resource busy
by Martin Dauskardt 26 Aug '05

I have still big problems with vdr 1.3.30 It seems that only myself and a few other guys from vdrportal have the same problem that I posted on 23.8. ("live picture freezes when recording starts"). Today I recognized that even live tv (ZDF) without starting recordings freezes permanently. ----------log----------------- Aug 25 21:36:57 linvdr user.info vdr[519]: switching to channel 2 Aug 25 21:36:57 linvdr user.debug vdr[535]: transfer thread started (pid=535, tid=10248) Aug 25 21:36:57 linvdr user.debug vdr[536]: receiver on device 1 thread started (pid=536, tid=11273) Aug 25 21:36:57 linvdr user.debug vdr[537]: TS buffer on device 1 thread started (pid=537, tid=12298) Aug 25 21:36:58 linvdr user.info vdr[524]: channel 13 (ZDFinfokanal) event 21:30 'flosse & pfote' status 4 Aug 25 21:36:58 linvdr user.info vdr[524]: channel 14 (ZDFdokukanal) event 21:15 'Allein unter Kuhen Ehenotstand auf dem Bauernhof' status 4 Aug 25 21:36:58 linvdr user.info vdr[524]: channel 22 (Eurosport) event 21:30 'Boxen' status 4 Aug 25 21:36:59 linvdr user.info vdr[524]: channel 11 (3sat) event 21:00 'delta' status 4 Aug 25 21:36:59 linvdr user.info vdr[524]: channel 2 (ZDF) event 20:15 'Die Berliner Runde' status 4 Aug 25 21:36:59 linvdr user.info vdr[524]: channel 21 (EuroNews) event 21:30 'Nachrichten' status 4 Aug 25 21:37:33 linvdr user.debug vdr[519]: switching device 1 to channel 2 Aug 25 21:37:33 linvdr user.info vdr[519]: timer 4 (2 2137-0337 '@TITLE EPISODE') start Aug 25 21:37:33 linvdr user.debug vdr[519]: Title: 'Die Berliner Runde' Subtitle: '' Aug 25 21:37:33 linvdr user.info vdr[519]: record /video0/(a)Die_Berliner_Runde/2005-08-25.21.37.50.99.rec Aug 25 21:37:33 linvdr user.debug vdr[519]: creating directory /video0/@Die_Berliner_Runde Aug 25 21:37:33 linvdr user.debug vdr[519]: creating directory /video0/(a)Die_Berliner_Runde/2005-08-25.21.37.50.99.rec Aug 25 21:37:33 linvdr user.debug vdr[519]: recording to '/video0/(a)Die_Berliner_Runde/2005-08-25.21.37.50.99.rec/001.vdr' Aug 25 21:37:33 linvdr user.debug vdr[538]: file writer thread started (pid=538, tid=13323) Aug 25 21:37:33 linvdr user.debug vdr[539]: recording thread started (pid=539, tid=14348) Aug 25 21:37:44 linvdr user.info vdr[519]: confirm: Aufzeichnung beenden?

ChannelSwitch odd behaviour
by Richard Lithvall 26 Aug '05

26 Aug '05

Hi, While trying to track down what causes problem with a (probably crappy but very useful) patch/plugin to VDR I noticed this odd behaviour when zapping through channels: Aug 25 23:21:51 localhost vdr[3206]: status: cStatusTest::ChannelSwitch 0 0 Aug 25 23:21:51 localhost vdr[3206]: status: cStatusTest::ChannelSwitch 1 0 Aug 25 23:21:51 localhost vdr[3206]: status: cStatusTest::ChannelSwitch 1 4 Aug 25 23:21:51 localhost vdr[3206]: status: cStatusTest::ChannelSwitch 0 4 My primary card is an TT DVB-S 1.6 FF and my secondary card is an TT DVB-T 1.2 FF. Channel 4 is DVB-T. Why are my primary DVB-S card trying to tune this channel? With the patch applied and plugin enabled it causes several more errors such as "ERROR: no DiSEqC parameters found for channel 4" looping over and over until VDR restarts. I've tried with patched/unpatched VDR 1.3.22, 1.3.23 and 1.3.30 and all behave the same. /Richard

Hallo, > Is there a 'reminder' plugin, or some way of turning this > 'intelligence' off? There is a channel-switch-timer patch somewhere on VDR-portal.de - you will have to search ;) It does not record anything, just switch the channel. Greetings Christian Jacobsen

How to create a VDR compatible MPEG2 file?
by Fabian Wolter 25 Aug '05

25 Aug '05

Hi, I want to digitise my old analogue tapes, so that I can play-back them with VDR 1.3.27. For the recording/multiplexing proccess I used the following commands: streamer -t 10:00 -s 720x576 -r 25 -o video.yuv -O audio.wav -F stereo mp2enc -o audio.mp2 < audio.wav mpeg2enc -f 9 -q 1 -o video.m1v -V 1024 --no-constraints < video.yuv mplex audio.mp2 video.m1v -o 001.vdr -f 9 With the program genindex I created the index.vdr. The recorded files are playable but the fast-forward/rewind stucks. (guess 0.25 fps) While fast-forwarding/rewinding, there appear lots of the following messages: > Aug 24 22:13:06 vcr vdr[15601]: fixIFrame: PES start code not found at offset 19460 (data length: 67584)! So what's my fault? (I guess at the multiplexing proccess) Regards, Fabian

How to turn off the tuner?
by Marko Mäkelä 25 Aug '05

25 Aug '05

I'm working on a patch that would introduce a "suspend" key to VDR. The output device I'm using (softdevice) has a suspend function, but it has some limitations. Most notably, the playback of recordings won't pause when the softdevice is suspended. I got that one already fixed in my suspend patch for vdr 1.3.30, but I have another question: Does vdr always keep the receivers tuned to transponders? It would save some CPU cycles if vdr wouldn't read the TS data from the tuner and also some electric power if the tuner could be turned off. From my experiments with tzap and friends, I got the impression that there is a timeout mechanism in the kernel driver for turning off the tuner. The idea is that those who use their vdr box as an always-on appliance (such as firewall, router, file server, audio jukebox, whatever) could reduce the power consumption and heat production when not recording or watching DVB streams.
