Picture size with xine
by Eric GRAMMATICO 06 Jan '06

06 Jan '06

Hi all, I have VDR+VDR-Sine and i would like to know how to have xine adjusting picture size automatically following channels resolution ? I have some channels with 720x576, 544x576, and so on. 720x576 are full screen, but not the others. thanks and regards Eric.

dithernPatch and Demo
by Patrick Fischer 05 Jan '06

05 Jan '06

In the last days of 2005 I have written an small but effect full patch for VDR. It allows the developer to mix two Colors. So if your Memory only allows you to use 4 Colors, you can mix them to 16 Colors :-) If you can use 8 Colors then you can mix them to 64 Colors. This is the theory. Not all colors looks nice. But you can use them. An other limitation is that you only can use the new colors for rectangles. (maybe I will expand this to the other elements) If you mix two colors the pixel will be alternating plotted. Like: if(((x%2)&&(y%2)) || (!(x%2)&&!(y%2))) SetIndex(x, y, color1); else SetIndex(x, y, color2); In the case of using mixed Colors, the OSD will be drawn a little bit slower. (you will not notice it) In the case of normal drawing nothing will be different. Full compatibility. I have written a demoplugin to show how it works. You can use the demoplugin with or without the patch. If you have patched vdr, you need to define #define USEVDRWITHPATCH at the beginning of the ditherndemo.c file. (commented out) If you use the demo without patching the vdr, it will work much slower. DithernDemo You can install the demo like every other plugin. if you start it, you can change the base colors by pressing the color buttons on your RC. The first line shows you the base colors. All other colors are mixed. I have written this demo to test this Plugin on my Activy300. So it is limited to 4 Colors. With this patch we can create other skins with more colors. If Klaus find it usefully, I will look for the other elements.

Issues with Stream-dev and 1.3.37
by Mlists 05 Jan '06

05 Jan '06

Hi all, I've finally grabbed a second machine to setup by the TV and I want to run vdr in streamdev-client mode. I have vdr running on my primary back-end machine. I have an Xbox running vdr streamdev-client on Xebian and its working ok for the most part (vdr-1.3.27 I believe or it might be vdr-1.3.32). These came precompiled from a web site. On this new slave machine, I've install Debian, vdr and xine. My problems are as follows: 1) The xine plugin never gets around to loading (you see the prompts on the output when its queuing frames -- I don't get that all the time). As a result, Xine starts and stops immediately. 2) When I did get it running (once or twice) you can't change channels without it going unresponsive. Remember, the backend runs perfectly with the same xine plugin so it's not a tuning issue. 3) Cosmetic but a pain -- when VDR exits, it always gives a segmentation fault. Would I be better off to roll back to a previous version for this setup? If so, what version should I use? I have a recent kernel, recent DVB drivers, the plugins are all recent as well. Thanks Norm

VDR-1.3.37: retuning -- possibly a fix for VDSB
by Reinhard Nissl 04 Jan '06

04 Jan '06

Hi, the attached patch introduces some timeouts while the device is tuning and when it looses the lock: DISEQC_REPEAT_TIMEOUT (500 ms) is used to repeat the DiSEqC signalling in case the where a multiswitch receives at first a malformed message and therefore doesn't switch. TUNE_TO_RETUNE_TIMEOUT (3000 ms) is used to instruct the device to start the tuning operation once again in case the above DiSEqC signalling doesn't work. LOST_LOCK_TO_RETUNE_TIMEOUT (500 ms) lets the device retune after a LOCKED to NOT LOCKED transition, probably under bad reception conditions. Please give the patch a try and report success or failure. Tests of special interest: - bad reception conditions (DVB-T) - steering dishes Bye. -- Dipl.-Inform.

Multiple MediaMVPs and parallel viewing
by Peer Oliver Schmidt 04 Jan '06

04 Jan '06

Hi, after I got my MediaMVP running with both mediamvp plugin and the vompserver, I am getting greedy :-) Is it possible to stream different programms to different MVPs? i.e. I want one person to watch in the living room a documentary, while another person watches the latest sports, and the third person is watching a recording. Anyone has any experience with this? TIA. -- Best regards Peer Oliver Schmidt PGP Key ID: 0x83E1C2EA

duplicate phrase entries in i18n.c
by Lucian Muresan 04 Jan '06

04 Jan '06

Hi, I found that each of the following entries occur twice in i18n.c, and as far as I understood the the code, there is no way that both occurances will ever get used, only the first one. Most of them are even equally translated in various languages, some even lack translations, or maybe they are candidates for different contexts and preceding them with some string$ (for example "Record" for sure gets drawn on a coloured red button once and may not fit if too long, but I don't know if there is another context, haven't lookd at every occurance of tr("Record") in the source code)? { "Summary", { "Menu", { "Play", { "Stop", { "Record", If tey will be (or at least for those of them that will be) reduced to just one, maybe translators should also tell their opinion on which translation they prefer (there ara also minor differences with special characters). I attached a plain text file with them pasted side-by-side, maybe there will be some feedback for Klaus... Lucian Theesa are duplicates: { "Summary", { "Menu", { "Play", { "Stop", { "Record", This is how they look like, side-by-side { "Summary", { "Summary", "Inhalt", "Inhalt", "Vsebina", "Vsebina", "Sommario", "Sommario", "Inhoud", "Inhoud", "Resumo", "Resumo", "Résumé", "Résumé", "Sammendrag", "Sammendrag", "Yhteenveto", "Yhteenveto", "Zawartosc", "Zawartosc", "Resúmen", "Resumen", "Ðåñéå÷üìåíï", "Ðåñéå÷üìåíï", "Sammanfattning","Sammanfattning", "Detalii", "Cuprins", "Tartalom", "Tartalom", "Sinopsi", "Resum", "ŸßØáÐÝØÕ", "ŸßØáÐÝØÕ", "SadrŸaj", "SadrŸaj", "Kokkuvõte", "Kokkuvõte", "Omtale", "Omtale", { "Menu", { "Menu", "Menü", "Menü", "Meni", "Meni", "Menù", "Menù", "Menu", "Menu", "Menu", "Menu", "Menu", "Menu", "Meny", "Meny", "Valikko", "Valikko", "Menu", "Menu", "Menú", "Menu", "Måíïý", "Ìåíïý", "Meny", "Meny", "Meniu", "Meniu", "Menü", "Menü", "Menú", "Menú", "ŒÕÝî", "ŒÕÝî", "Izbor", "Izbor", "Menüü", "Menüü", "Menu", "Menu", { "Play", { "Play", "Wiedergabe", "Wiedergabe", "Predvajaj", "Predvajaj", "Riproduci", "Riproduci", "Afspelen", "Weergeven", "Play", "",// TODO "Lire", "Lecture", "Spill av", "",// TODO "Toista", "Toista", "Odtwarzac", "Odtworzenie", "Play", "Reproducir", "ÁíáìåôÜäïóç", "AíáìåôÜäïóç", "Spela upp", "Spela upp", "Redare", "Redare", "Lejátszani", "Lejátszás", "Reproduir", "Reproduir", "²ÞáßàÞØ×ÒÕáâØ","²ÞáßàÞØ×ÒÕÔÕÝØÕ", "Start", "Start", "Start", "Start", "Afspil", "Afspil", { "Stop", { "Stop", "Ende", "Stop", "Konec", "Ustavi", "Fine", "Stop", "Einde", "Stop", "Fim", "Stop", "Fin", "Stop", "Slutt", "",// TODO "Lopetus", "Lopeta", "Koniec", "Stop", "Fin", "Parar", "ÔÝëïò", "TÝñìá", "Slutar", "Stoppa", "Sfârºit", "Stop", "Vége", "Stop", "Fi", "Aturar", "ºÞÝÕæ", "ÁâÞß", "Kraj", "Stop", "Stopp", "Stopp", "Stop", "Stop", { "Record", { "Record", "Aufnehmen", "Aufnehmen", "Posnemi", "Snemaj", "Registra", "Registra", "Opnemen", "Opnemen", "Gravar", "",// TODO "Enregistre", "Enregistrement", "Ta opp", "",// TODO "Tallenna", "Tallenna", "Nagrywac", "Nagrywac", "Grabar", "Grabar", "ÅããñáöÞ", "EããñáöÞ", "Inspelning", "Spela in", "Înregistr.", "Înregistrare", "Felvenni", "Felvenni", "Gravar", "Gravar", "·ÐßØáì", "·ÐßØáì", "Snimi", "Snimaj", "Salvesta", "Salvestamine", "Optag", "Optag",

Hauppauge MediaMVP mvp-plugin Contacting Server Problem
by Peer Oliver Schmidt 04 Jan '06

04 Jan '06

Hi, I am trying to get the plugin to talk to my mediamvp box. I am using the ctvdr4, and using all the packages from their, i.e. vdrdevel and vdrdevel-plugin-mediamvp. The Hauppauge box boots, downloads the dongle.bin. It waits on Contacting Server I am seeing a packet with ethereal every 8 seconds, but no responds from the plugin. Using mvpserver stand-alone displays at least a menue on the mediamvp and allows for some internet radio. I have tried various dongle version (allways changing the version number with in VDR [and restarting VDR afterwards]) I tried the dongle versions people recommend on the VDR-Forum, but have no luck. Any idea how to troubleshoot this problem further? -- Best regards Peer Oliver Schmidt PGP Key ID: 0x83E1C2EA

Anyone recorded Seewolf on 3SAT? and EPGSEARCH
by Peter Juszack 04 Jan '06

04 Jan '06

Hi list, is there anybody out there who recorded the first part of Seewolf broadcasted yesterday on 3SAT ? Unfortunately I missed the program. I searched the EPG and also went to tvtv.de but it seems that it will not be repeated. I am interested in the VDR-files. I would prefer a DVD because I am connected via ISDN. Just another topic: When comparing VDR to the Technisat SAT-HD-Recorder of my father I recognized that the Technisat EPG allows to jump between the next days by tabs. I planned to modify the epgsearch-plugin to do the same. When looking for free keys to implement that I found the forward and rewind keys which jump X minutes forwards or back. X can be set in the epgsearch setup and I set it to 1440 (=24*60 = 1 day). Works perfectly: User defined time 1 = 20:20. Then pressing forward key and the epg shows the program of tomorrow primetime. Maybe someone finds this useful. A big thank to Christian for the real great epgsearch plugin. Regards Peter http://www.unterbrecher.de - Old motorcycles

maybe two bugs in vdr
by CopyPoint 04 Jan '06

04 Jan '06

Hi all, i found two behaviers in 1.3.32 that IMHO shouldn't be like this 1. If i try to switch to channel 2222 without having 222 vdr stops accepting keys after 22. 2. One can't move a channel into an empty group. Can anyone confirm this? regards Thorsten
