need help with TrickSpeed Code
by Martin Dauskardt 19 Nov '06

19 Nov '06

The pvr350-Plugin uses the following code: void cPvr350Device::TrickSpeed(int Speed) { printf("Set speed %d\n",Speed); m_RingBuffer->Clear(); SetPlayMode(m_PlayMode); } With this code it makes no matter if the vdr-setup is set to Multispeed mode or not -it always provides one (pretty fast) speed in fast Forward mode. As no ivtv ioctl is used, I suppose the speed is done by vdr itself and not using the ivtv driver. I "borrowed" some code and changed it to this: void cPvr350Device::TrickSpeed(int Speed) { printf("Set speed %d\n",Speed); struct ivtv_speed speed; int ret; m_RingBuffer->Clear(); memset(&speed, 0, sizeof(speed)); speed.fr_mask = 2; switch (Speed) { case 1 : speed.scale = 0; break; case 3 : speed.scale = 30 / (24 / 3); break; case 6 : speed.scale = 30 / (24 / 6); break; } if ( (ret = ioctl(fd_out,IVTV_IOC_S_SPEED, &speed)) < 0 ) { printf("speed %d\n",ret); SetPlayMode(m_PlayMode); } } The first press of the left button during playback results in the same speed as with the old code. But if I increase the speed and then return to a lower speed, it work as expected. So I have three different speeds, but the initial speed seems to be always the highest speed. Could somebody help me? Maybe it is even possible to get three speeds without using the ivtv ioctls? -- Der GMX SmartSurfer hilft bis zu 70% Ihrer Onlinekosten zu sparen!

how to enable vdr keys for xine-ui with rpmbuild
by Joachim Banzhaf 19 Nov '06

19 Nov '06

Hi list, I have vdr running with a budget card. For live tv, I use the xineliboutput plugin and xine-ui. I built a xine-ui rpm with rpmbuild. As an aside: If you want to try yourself you have to resolve two issues with 0.99.4 which are already resolved in cvs (cvs not tested by me, only read about it in ml archive): - Change specfile in misc/ to use "License: GPL" instead of "Copyright: GPL" - Repackage the bzip2 tar to use gzip. One problem remains for me: To enable vdr keys, I have to pass --enable-vdr-keys to configure. How would I pass this option to rpmbuild (without editing the specfile)? Currently I use "rpmbuild -ta /path/to/xine-ui-<version>.tgz" I have read about the --with/without macros, but found nothing similar for --enable/disable features. Anyone got an idea? Thanks Joachim Banzhaf

Hi all, Does VDR support cards such as compro s300 and others, that are based on Philips SAA7130HL? SAA7130HL is a primary analog tv capture chip, but with TS input pin for DVB-S/T/C. you could find more information about this chip, from url below: http://www.nxp.com/acrobat_download/literature/9397/75010351.pdf Thanks a lot.

pvrinput and radio channels
by Simon Baxter 17 Nov '06

17 Nov '06

Hi. I can play radio channels with my PVR-500 with the following: ivtv-radio -f 102.5 but when I try to do it within VDR with: FM 102.5:102500:C0:C:0:0:300:0:A1:12003:1:1091:0 I get nothing. Also, I then can't do the ivtv-radio thing until ivtv's been unloaded/loaded again. Can someone send me a snippit of a working channels.conf with pvrinput radio??? Thanks!!

pvrinput multiple cards, recording and epg
by Simon Baxter 16 Nov '06

16 Nov '06

I've just received my new PVR-500 card and have it happily installed and working with ivtv 0.9 (svn) I figure since the FM radio is only available on the 1st encoder, I'll have to dedicate VDR recording tasks to the 2nd encoder and leave the first for general purpose TV watching and radio listening. Unless I can cut off the FM radio if the recorder needs that adapter? Will I need to maintain duplicate channel entries in channels.conf for each device - so I can select one or the other for recording or watching? I guess the best way to do this is prefix the ones I want to record on, and avoid using them when general channel surfing. I'm also not sure how to handle epg. At the moment I use xmltv and xmltv2vdr.pl to import epg. I'm guessing I'll also need to have duplicate epg for each tuner? Is there a way I can use VDR with a single epg, but just select an adapter based on availability? This machine will sit in my basement with the PVR-500, DVB-T card and a DVB-S card Can anyone offer any advice?

pvrinput plugin - update to new v4l2 ??
by Simon Baxter 16 Nov '06

16 Nov '06

Thought I might create a dedicated thread for this. Has anyone heard anything about an update to pvrinput, to support the new 2.6.18 v4ls spec rather than relying on ivtv for codec selection? If you run ivtv version >0.8.0 you'll run into this. 0.8.0 no longer supports IVTV_IOC_G_CODEC and relies on v4l2 to do the codec selection. You'll get messages like: > pvrinput: 11:39:05 IVTV_IOC_G_CODEC failed, 22:Invalid argument > pvrinput: 11:39:06 Detected input 0: Tuner 1 > pvrinput: 11:39:06 IVTV_IOC_G_CODEC failed, 22:Invalid argument > pvrinput: 11:39:06 found 2 PVR devices Any ideas?

Hi, > problem with the recording menu that pops up annoyingly after end of recording playback this is a feature ;-) > and sometimes in channel switching. and this is a bug. But nobody else complained about it until yet. Are there any other users using my plugin and streamdev together?

Recordings sorting
by Chris Jones 14 Nov '06

14 Nov '06

Hi Inspired by the channel sorting thread, I'm wondering if there's any way to have vdr sort recordings by date rather than name? I would think that would be a more obvious default, but even if not, I would like to use it :) Cheers, -- Chris Jones cmsj(a)tenshu.net www.tenshu.net
