rcu and vdr 1.3
by Eric Laly 23 Aug '05

23 Aug '05

Hello all, I ave a fully fonctionnal vdr-1.2.6 with dvb-kernel for kernel-2.4 and a RCU unit. I've some spare time, so I've decided to give vdr-1.3 a try. First, I'm installing kernel 2.6.12.5 instaed of 2.4.27: vdr-1.2.6 is always functionnal with 2.6. Second I'm installing a vanilla vdr-1.3.30 with an other /video (only the .conf of VDR into and the remote.conf of vdr-1.2.6) , and this is the problem with RCU: no "HELO" and no remote. the log: Aug 23 00:20:59 vdr vdr[13069]: VDR version 1.3.30 started Aug 23 00:20:59 vdr vdr[13069]: loading /video/sources.conf Aug 23 00:20:59 vdr vdr[13069]: loading /video/diseqc.conf Aug 23 00:20:59 vdr vdr[13069]: loading /video/channels.conf Aug 23 00:20:59 vdr vdr[13069]: loading /video/svdrphosts.conf Aug 23 00:20:59 vdr vdr[13069]: loading /video/ca.conf Aug 23 00:20:59 vdr vdr[13069]: loading /video/remote.conf Aug 23 00:20:59 vdr vdr[13069]: loading /video/keymacros.conf Aug 23 00:21:01 vdr vdr[13069]: found 2 video devices Aug 23 00:21:01 vdr vdr[13069]: setting primary device to 1 Aug 23 00:21:01 vdr vdr[13069]: SVDRP listening on port 2001 Aug 23 00:21:01 vdr vdr[13069]: loading /video/themes/sttng-default.theme Aug 23 00:21:01 vdr vdr[13069]: loading /video/themes/sttng-default.theme Aug 23 00:21:01 vdr vdr[13069]: connecting to RCU remote control using code C Aug 23 00:21:01 vdr vdr[13069]: switching to channel 1 If I stop vdr-1.3.30 and I start vdr-1.2.6 (with its /video): all is working. (and if I make a 'cat /dev/ttyS1', I can see the code from the remote when I'm pressing a key) so the problem is not from the RCU, the COM port or the driver of the port com. With vdr-1.3.30, if I suppress the remote.conf to make a new remote learning, there is no 'COdE' on the four digits display and the RCU doesn't recognize the remote (I've made the test with vdr-1.2.6 and this is working). the log: Aug 23 00:08:15 vdr vdr[11084]: VDR version 1.3.30 started Aug 23 00:08:15 vdr vdr[11084]: loading /video/sources.conf Aug 23 00:08:15 vdr vdr[11084]: loading /video/diseqc.conf Aug 23 00:08:15 vdr vdr[11084]: loading /video/channels.conf Aug 23 00:08:15 vdr vdr[11084]: loading /video/svdrphosts.conf Aug 23 00:08:15 vdr vdr[11084]: loading /video/ca.conf Aug 23 00:08:15 vdr vdr[11084]: loading /video/keymacros.conf Aug 23 00:08:17 vdr vdr[11084]: found 2 video devices Aug 23 00:08:17 vdr vdr[11084]: setting primary device to 1 Aug 23 00:08:17 vdr vdr[11084]: SVDRP listening on port 2001 Aug 23 00:08:17 vdr vdr[11084]: loading /video/themes/sttng-default.theme Aug 23 00:08:17 vdr vdr[11084]: loading /video/themes/sttng-default.theme Aug 23 00:08:17 vdr vdr[11084]: trying codes for RCU remote control...

vdr-xine, no ac3 playback?
by mike lewis 23 Aug '05

23 Aug '05

I recently purchased a reciever capable of ac3/dts decoding. I've been doing some testing and I now have the correct config in xine to dump ac3 streams directly through my sound card to my reciever. With watching dvd's in xine, I get an ac3 stream, however, when using vdr-xine (0.7.4) I only get PCM stereo. VDR EPG info shows the audio as being DD. I guess I'm trying to establish whether or not vdr-xine is altering the audio stream or vdr is altering the audio or my provider is lying by telling vdr that isa DD stream but its not?? Any pointers? Mick.

ttxtsub problem with vdr >= 1.3.28
by Kimmo Taskinen 23 Aug '05

23 Aug '05

Hi, I've been using subtitles and ttxtsub plugins together with pathces from http://users.tkk.fi/~rahrenbe/vdr/. For example for version 1.3.30 I am using: vdr-1.3.30-subtitles-0.3.8-and-ttxtsubs-0.0.5.diff.gz and vdr-1.3.30-enAIO-2.5.diff.gz The new problem is that when I'm watching a recorded show (that doesn't have subtitles; recorded from finnish MTV3), the ttxtsub plugins starts showing subtitles from some channel that was not even selected before starting the record playing. This problem emerged with vdr-1.3.28 and it's still there with 1.3.30. 1.3.27 does not have it and I have stayed on that for now. Does anyone else have this problem? Cheers, Kimmo

VDR-1.3.30: testing new cAudioRepacker
by Reinhard Nissl 22 Aug '05

22 Aug '05

Hi, I'd like you to test the new cAudioRepacker which is contained in the attached patch. The patch also fixes some locations where VDR didn't handle MPEG1 streams properly. An additional patch for vdr-xine-0.7.5 will follow the next day(s), which fixes some MPEG1 issues in vdr-xine. Planned to be attached to this email, I've just trashed my corrections while preparing the diff :-(( I'd better gone to bed earlier ;-) Bye. -- Dipl.-Inform. (FH) Reinhard Nissl mailto:rnissl@gmx.de

[PATCH] Move new channels to separate radio and TV groups
by Dick Streefland 22 Aug '05

22 Aug '05

Here is a patch to move newly added channels to separate radio/TV groups for every satellite position. It is based on an old patch that adds new channels to different groups based on the source (satellite position). New in this patch is that two groups are used for every satellite position: a radio group and a TV group. Because when a new channel is added, it's PIDs are still zero, you cannot differentiate between radio and TV channels at that time. So the channel is first added to the end of the channel list, and moved to the appropriate group when the PIDs are updated for the first time, which is usually a few seconds later. diff -pu vdr-1.3.30/channels.c.orig vdr-1.3.30/channels.c --- vdr-1.3.30/channels.c.orig Sat Aug 6 14:22:41 2005 +++ vdr-1.3.30/channels.c Mon Aug 22 20:06:33 2005 @@ -444,6 +444,25 @@ void cChannel::SetPids(int Vpid, int Ppi } *q = 0; dsyslog("changing pids of channel %d from %d+%d:%s:%d to %d+%d:%s:%d", Number(), vpid, ppid, OldApidsBuf, tpid, Vpid, Ppid, NewApidsBuf, Tpid); + if (!vpid && !apids[0]) { + // new channel: find group seperator for the source of this channel + char sepname[64]; + snprintf(sepname, sizeof(sepname), "New %s Channels @ %s", + (Vpid ?

[ANNOUNCE] VDR developer version 1.3.30
by Klaus Schmidinger 22 Aug '05

22 Aug '05

VDR developer version 1.3.30 is now available at ftp://ftp.cadsoft.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-1.3.39.tar.bz2 A 'diff' against the previous version is available at ftp://ftp.cadsoft.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-1.3.29-30.diff The changes since version 1.3.29: - Improved responsiveness inside CAM menus. - Added handling of the 'Close MMI' tag to avoid error log messages with CAMs that actually use it. - Now waiting at startup until all DVB devices are ready. This includes having all CAMs initialized and ready to decrypt, so that no more "channel not available" happens if VDR is started with the current channel being an encrypted one, or a timer on such a channel hits right after starting VDR. - Fixed cVideoRepacker to better handle errors in data (thanks to Reinhard Nissl). - Fixed cDvbTuner to avoid lockups on NPTL systems (thanks to Marcel Wiesweg). - Added 'Service' functions to the plugin interface (thanks to Udo Richter). See PLUGINS.html, section "Custom services" for details. - Replaced the get/put_unaligned() macros from <asm/unaligned.h> with own inline functions to avoid problems on platforms that don't provide these (thanks to David Woodhouse for his help). Originally I didn't intend to release a new version this weekend, but since there are two rather important fixes, here goes anyway... Have fun! Klaus

Hi, I have a computer with 2 DVB cards, with 2 instances of VDR running. I now want to run a 3rd instance of VDR but with no DVB card, only to play recorded vdr files and the output is through a dxr3 card. Is this possible? Thanks. Monk

adding a new option to specify the address to bind to
by syrius.ml＠no-log.org 22 Aug '05

22 Aug '05

Hi there, I'm considering running 2 vdr instances on the same machine. Rather than using a set of different ports (svdrp, streamdev ports and xine+network ports) i would like to add a new option to specify the ip address to bind to. (rather than INADDR_ANY). (Ideally plugins would also be able to use that option) (streamdev already has its own config options for that) Has anybody already made that change ? (before i try to do it) in terms of vdr coding-style, what's the appropriate way to make this variable available to vdr & plugins ? global var ? (sorry if it sounds newbish) TIA --
