Utf8-patch experiences, anyone?
by Petri Helin 31 Dec '06

31 Dec '06

Hi, I have been experimenting with increasing the resolution of the OSD with xineliboutput with at least some kind of success (see http://img79.imageshack.us/my.php?image=hdosdrx4.png and try to not get bothered about the other "images" you are forced to see, this was the first image sharing site I came across). Now there are some problems that have come up with the HD OSD. Font rendering and the way fonts and OSD are used by plugins are the main distractions. I bumped in to this Utf8-patch (… [View More]

EPG from external source
by Boguslaw Juza 28 Dec '06

28 Dec '06

Hi! >From manual: "<table id> is a hex number that indicates the table this event is contained in (if this is left empty or 0 this event will not be overwritten or modified by data that comes from the DVB stream)" I want VDR to overwrite events which I have imported from external source. What should I set as table id for external events? What will happen if I set recording for event, which will be replaced by data from DVB stream? Boguslaw Juza

by Karim 27 Dec '06

27 Dec '06

Hi, I am using two vdrboxes (two FF cards inside each box), and I need to receive 4 satellites, then I plan to buy : - a multi-lnb dish "wavefrontier T90" - 4 x lnb's (quad models) - 4 multiswitch 4>1 (one for each FF card). By adjusting disecq.conf, I know that vdr is able to manage a 4 ways multiswitches, but is it the same for 6 or 8 lnbs ? Is there any limit ? Because there is a lot of cables, multiswitches will be near the LNB, outdoor position. Could you please advise give me some … [View More]
