I'm getting some strange dvb-t signal and am trying to figure out
why. Summarized, the transponders I'm received are the following (one
channel per transponder):
ITV 1, previously on 481833, now on 482000 (ch 22, negative offset)
BBC 1, previously on 505833, now on 506000 (ch 25, negative offset)
BBC 4, previously 529833, now on 530000 (ch 28, negative offset)
TMF, still on 537833 (unchanged) (ch 29, negative offset)
Five, previously on 561833, now on 562000 (ch 32, negative offset)
UKTV …
[View More]History, still on 578166 (unchanged) (ch 34, positive offset)
So it appears of the six transponders, four of them are received
without the offset they should be at.
Can anyone explain in what circumstances this usually happens? My
signal is from a wall socket in a big block, not from a free standing
antenna.

Hello,
I am getting the following problem from requant:
sh: line 1: 3969
Floating point exception/usr/bin/requant 1.04
>/hd/dvd//vdrsyn
c.mpv
Any Ideas?
I am using requant with vdrsync.
VDR maintenance patch 1.4.3-4 is now available at
ftp://ftp.cadsoft.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-1.4.3-4.diff
This is a 'diff' against version 1.4.3-3 (which is the official
version 1.4.3, patched with
ftp://ftp.cadsoft.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-1.4.3-1.diff,
ftp://ftp.cadsoft.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-1.4.3-2.diff and
ftp://ftp.cadsoft.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-1.4.3-3.diff).
Small fixes to the officially released VDR versions will be first
made available as "maintenance patches" in the Developer directory,
…
[View More]so that they can be reviewed and tested before a new official
release is published.
So please apply the above patch and report whether it works (or
if it causes any new problems).
This version is binary compatible with version 1.4.3-3, so
plugins need not be recompiled.
The changes since version 1.4.3-3:
- Fixed deleting EPG events that have a running status of "pausing" or higher.
- Fixed handling NITs with more than one delivery system descriptor tag for the
same transponder.
Have fun!

I made a small patch that adds Zeroconf support to the streamdev plugin. It
uses the Avahi mDNS implementation to advertise the HTTP streams.

Hi,
here's a new release of epgsearch (mainly a bug fix release):
2006-10-27: Version 0.9.19
new:
- if search results of different searches intersect, now only the search
that initially created a corresponding timer may modify it.
- new variables:
* '%search.query%' to be used in the recording directory of a search
timer. Will be substituted to the query of a search timer.
* '%videodir%' VDR video directory (e.g. /video)
* '%plugconfdir%' VDR plugin config directory (e.g. /etc/vdr/…
[View More]plugins)
* '%epgsearchdir%' epgsearchs config directory
(e.g. /etc/vdr/plugins/epgsearch)
- the syntax of the 'system' command within a user variable has changed
to be more flexible. It's now:
%uservar%=system(/path/to/script[, parameters])
where the optional 'parameters' can now be any expression using other
variables except directly using conditional expressions or other system
calls.
- update for french translation, thanks to Patrice Staudt
fixes:
- VPS timers created by search timers are now always updated to their
VPS time, even if the user has changed start/stop time.
- after editing the setup any menu templates defined in epgsearchmenu.conf
were reset to defaults, thanks to s.krueger@vdrportal for reporting.
- existing VDR serial timers are not modified anymore to regular timers
by the search timer update.

Are you looking for a "mini-PCI" card, a low-profile PCI or low-profile
AGP? A mini-PCI card usually goes in a laptop or a very tiny appliance.
I'm not sure where you're getting the "no on makes good accelerated
s-video for Linux", any new ATI or nVidia card has TV-out support in Linux
(by using the vendors proprietary driver).
For an AGP/PCI card, something based on the nVidia MX-4000 or FX5200
should be cheap and low-profile.
Here's a link to a low-profile AGP card:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814127128
And here's a link to a low-profile PCI card:

You aren't very specific by "hardware acceleration" -- do you mean MPEG2
decoding, or something else? Regardless, any newish nVidia card (> Ti4xxx
series), like the MX4000, supports XvMC which allows the video card's GPU
to perform the MPEG-2 decoding. Xine/xinelibouput supports XvMC as an
output method, so you could get fully hardware accelerated video decoding.
I am using an nVidia 6200TC with VDR and softdevice and my TV-out (via
s-video), without any XvMC my CPU utilization when playing StandardDef
content is acceptable, <30% on a Pentium-M running at 800 MHz.
I've done testing with XvMC on the 6200TC playing back a 1080i stream (via
mplayer) and I get CPU utilization < 10%...that's pretty low to me.
Regards,
CR.

Has anyone managed to get the built-in detector in a Hauppauge Nova-T usb2
working with vdr with the remote plugin? I'm just swapping a Nova-T PCI card
for a dual-tuner Nova-T 500. So far, it looks like the DVB part is working
(not tested properly yet but I have 3 DVB devices) but I'm now tring to get a
working remote again. I had been using a "new type" Hauppauge remote on the
old PCI card through LIRC (after patching the CX88 source for the keymap).
I'm hoping that I can just use the /…
[View More]dev/input/eventX from the USB Nova device
without fighting LIRC (the remote generates keypresses which makes using
irrecord a nightmare!).
The USB remote device appears as /dev/input/event1:
I: Bus=0003 Vendor=2040 Product=9301 Version=0000
N: Name="IR-receiver inside an USB DVB receiver"
P: Phys=usb-0000:00:10.3-1/ir0
S: Sysfs=/class/input/input1
H: Handlers=kbd event1
B: EV=3
B: KEY=afc302 2002805 0 0 0 4 18000 180 40000801 9e1680 0 800200 ffc
And should be accessible by the vdr user:
crw-rw-r-- 1 root video 13, 65 Oct 24 22:16 event1
evtest seems to work correctly, i.e. lists the keys and all keys seem to give
the correct named codes.
When I run vdr with the remote plugin, I get the following relevant bits:
Oct 25 01:45:00 vdr-tng vdr: [11605] device /dev/input/event1: IR-receiver
inside an USB DVB receiver
Oct 25 01:45:00 vdr-tng vdr: [11605] remote: using '/dev/input/event1'
Oct 25 01:45:00 vdr-tng vdr: [11605] remote control softdevice-dfb - keys
known
Oct 25 01:45:00 vdr-tng vdr: [11605] remote control remote-event1 - learning
key
At this point, I see the OSD message about learning keys and it asks me to
press the "Up" key. At this point, nothing happens! Pressing keys on the
remote has no effect and it gets no further.
As far as I can see, it all looks good until it gets to the actual remote
plugin! Am I missing something simple here, or am I wasting my time and
should go back to trying to get LIRC working with this device?!
Cheers,
Laz

I've compiled vanilla vdr 1.4.3 on fresh Ubuntu installation.
When I run vdr, systems goes to reboot without any information.
What is the easiest way to figure out what is the reason of reboot?
kernel 2.6.15
Nexus WinTV FF card
Thanks!
