Problems with text2skin and DeepBlue
by Anders 27 Jan '06

27 Jan '06

Hi all, I have recently installed vdr 1.3.37 on a Debian debian system. I have also installed cvs-version of the text2skin plugin and DeepBlue-0.1.4 skin. My problem is that the png-images wont show in the osd for DeepBlue or any other skin. I have built ImageMagick with options as described in the VDR-Wiki (final output of configure attached below). I have also the following png-libraries etc installed: pngcheck libpng12-dev 1.2.8 libpng12-0 1.2.8 I do not get any errors from vdr, not even when renaming the images and logos directories in the /video/plugins/text2skin/DeepBlue directory. I am running out of options here, can anyone please help me out or maybe point me in the right direction? Humble regards, Anders --------- ImageMagick config -------------- Host system type : i686-pc-linux-gnu Option Value ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Shared libraries --enable-shared=yes yes Static libraries --enable-static=yes yes Module support --with-modules=no no GNU ld --with-gnu-ld=yes yes Quantum depth --with-quantum-depth=16 16 Delegate Configuration: BZLIB --with-bzlib=yes no DPS --with-dps=no no FlashPIX --with-fpx=no no FreeType 2.0 --with-ttf=yes yes GhostPCL None pcl6 (unknown) Ghostscript None gs (unknown) Ghostscript fonts --with-gs-font-dir=default none Ghostscript lib --with-gslib=no no Graphviz --with-gvc=yes no JBIG --with-jbig=no no JPEG v1 --with-jpeg=yes yes JPEG-2000 --with-jp2=no no LCMS --with-lcms=no no Magick++ --with-magick-plus-plus=yes yes PERL --with-perl=no no PNG --with-png=yes yes TIFF --with-tiff=no no Windows fonts --with-windows-font-dir= none WMF --with-wmf=yes no X11 --with-x=no no XML --with-xml=no no ZLIB --with-zlib=yes yes X11 Configuration: Not using X11.

LSTR output
by Andreas Mair 27 Jan '06

27 Jan '06

Hi, yesterday I've run the LSTR command (VDR v1.3.34). That's the session: ========== SNIP ============= VDR vdr-1.3.34 # svdrpsend.pl lstt 220 VDR SVDRP VideoDiskRecorder 1.3.34; Tue Oct 4 20:35:09 2005 ... 250-5 9:8:-D-----:2115:2235:50:99:Desperate Housewives: ... 250 8 9:4:2005-10-04:2013:2230:50:99:Der Todestunnel - Nur die Wahrheit zählt:Bei einem Unfall im Seller-Tunnel löst ein völlig übermüdeter Lkw-Fahrer eine verheerende Brandkatastrophe aus.

I think it's OK for timer #8 because it's running. But timer #5 starts at 21:15 and the system time is 20:35. So why is it set to "currently recording"? Can someone please explain? Kind regards, Andreas

[1.3.36] No EPG data for "Das Erste"
by listen.diesch＠t-online.de 27 Jan '06

27 Jan '06

Hello List, since a while I am no more receiving EPG data for "Das Erste". As far as I can see no other channels are affected, even for other channels in the ARD bouquet EPG data are provided. Any hints? Thank you very much, Christoph

xmltv2vdr question
by Leo Márquez 27 Jan '06

27 Jan '06

Hi, I'm trying to get the epg info with xmltv and xmltv2vdr.pl from 2 different grab scripts. The problem I have is that the second script I use overwrite the first script info and left the epg info blank for these channels. How can I use two different grabs for a single channels.conf? What I'm doing wrong? The first script I use is: > /usr/bin/tv_grab_es --days 4 --config-file > /root/.xmltv/tv_grab_es.conf --output > /video/plugins/xmltv2vdr/channels.xml.tmp > /usr/bin/tv_sort --output /video/plugins/xmltv2vdr/channels.xml > /video/plugins/xmltv2vdr/channels.xml.tmp > /video/plugins/xmltv2vdr/xmltv2vdr.pl -x > /video/plugins/xmltv2vdr/channels.xml -c > /video/plugins/xmltv2vdr/channels.conf The second: > /root/tv_grab_es_digital --days 4 --config-file > /root/.xmltv/tv_grab_es_digital.conf --output > /video/plugins/xmltv2vdr/channels.xml.tmp > /usr/bin/tv_sort --output /video/plugins/xmltv2vdr/channels.xml > /video/plugins/xmltv2vdr/channels.xml.tmp > /video/plugins/xmltv2vdr/xmltv2vdr.pl -x > /video/plugins/xmltv2vdr/channels.xml -c > /video/plugins/xmltv2vdr/channels.conf In the xmltv channels.conf I have identified correctly each channel with the extra field. I supose the relation between xmltv channels.conf and vdr channels.conf is based on the line number. It's correct? Thanks, Leo

REQ: Recording feature
by IT 27 Jan '06

27 Jan '06

Hello, would it be possible to implement in one of the next releases a switch button (0) to show all recordings without subdirectory (similiar to the channel switch) - sorting by time/alphabet would also be great? Sometimes I have to walk through all subdirectories just to find a special recording /uwe

Aspect ratio
by Tony Houghton 26 Jan '06

26 Jan '06

I don't know if it's specific to softdevice, but I noticed that if you select 16:9, VDR scales 4:3 down before outputting it to the TV with black borders. Surely all TVs have options to do the scaling themselves, which will probably at least result in less loss of resolution; and some do neat tricks like stretching the edges of the picture to fill the screen while leaving the middle more or less the right shape. So it would be nice to have an option in VDR to always fill the screen and let the TV/viewer deal with scaling if necessary. -- TH * http://www.realh.co.uk

Announce: vdr-eggtimer-0.0.2
by Peter Juszack 26 Jan '06

26 Jan '06

Hallo, there is a new version of the eggtimer plugin available: http://194.95.44.38/~pjuszack/digicam/download/vdr-eggtimer-0.0.2.tgz what is it? An eggtimer for vdr. After starting the plugin will countdown a number of seconds or minutes und will then inform you via a repeating OSD message. Templates ( tea, noodles or whatever) can be created in a config file. at the first glance nothing changed :) but: - config file is optional now (standard template is hard coded) - code rewritten - improved stability Regards Peter http://194.95.44.38/~pjuszack/digicam - Digicam & Eggtimer http://www.unterbrecher.de - old MZ motorcycles

We have some older platforms with the same chip with no problem. It started with one of the recent code merges. Looks like DVD-Forum now enforces it (it's what ESS says). Would be nasty surprise if your next player starts complaining. Peter

burn-plugin und vdrconvert produces copy protected discs ;-(
by peter.dittmann＠freenet.de 26 Jan '06

26 Jan '06

Hi, It's no fun, working on DVD-Players I stumbled accross a potential future issue with all our home(linux) made DVDs. Obviously there is a reserved CGMS field defined in the DVD-R file system spec for every ISO directory record. Mkisofs does not add this field (not even a padding) which results into the player smelling a copied disc and refuse playing. It looks like most newer players have this "feature" enforced from the DVD-Forum Looks like this is the next generation Un-DVD ;-( It looks like the problem is only happening on discs only using ISO/Joliet but no added UDF filesystem (mkisofs has CGMS support for UDF in). Unfortunely it's default for vdr-burn and vdrconvert which means all our home made discs are affected. As a workaround until mkisofs is addapted (already mailed the maintainer) we need to add the -udf switch to mkisofs to also generate an UDF file system. Peter
