[PATCH] Priority of transfer-mode should not be -1
by Anssi Hannula 27 May '06

27 May '06

Hi! The transfer-mode uses always priority -1. That presents a problem: If I connect to that vdr using streamdev, it switches the first budget device off from the multiplex transfered to the FF card, although there is a second identical budget device available. Also, if I had DVB-S FF and only one DVB-T budget and had a DVB-T recording with priority 10 and Primary Limit at 20, live DVB-T video would (wouldn't it?) be severed. Klaus, shouldn't transfer-mode be also using the Primary Limit value, so that recordings with priority less than Primary Limit couldn't distract the output of primary device? Patch attached. -- Anssi Hannula

VDR constantly tries to change transponder frequency
by Anssi Hannula 27 May '06

27 May '06

Hi! VDR constantly changes the frequency of one multiplex in DVB-T. Here's an example: Correct: Urheilukanava;Suomen Urheilutelevisio Oy:770000000:C23D23M64B8T8G8Y0:T:27500:417+130:673=fin:929:0:113:8438:12289:0 But then VDR decides to change it: Dec 29 18:32:48 delta vdr[18069]: changing transponder data of channel 22 from T:770000000:0:3:0:2:2:2:1 to T:674000000:0:3:0:2:2:2:1 And then of course the channels stop being watchable. I took a dvbsnoop on PID 16 to grab the NIT tables (or whatever they're called). The two SECT-packets which are looped in the PID 16 are both in: http://anssi.hopto.org/dvbsnoop-MUX3-pid16 BTW, I put a debug output entry in nit.c line 173 to grab the frequency returned by getFrequency(), and I get these kind of results: FREQUENCY, 562000000 FREQUENCY, 658000000 FREQUENCY, 674000000 However the correct frequencies of the muxes are 490000, 578000, and 770000. However I've no idea why mux3 is the only one of which frequency VDR tries to change. -- Anssi Hannula

Default language not taken into account for replay
by Markus Ehrnsperger 19 Apr '06

19 Apr '06

Hello, I have vdr-1.3.43 and when I replay a recording, the default language is not taken into account. So if I set the default language to French and view Arte, I hear the French audio track, as expected. When I record it and replay the recording, I hear the German audio track. info.vdr is (for example): C S19.2E-1-1101-28109 T Zapping International S Das Fernsehen in Tatarstan D Sage mir, was du schaust, und ich sage dir, wer du bist: ARTE zappt sich durch die Fernsehlandschaften anderer Lä nder. Jeden Samstag um 14.45 Uhr. Heute: Fernsehen in Tatarstan. X 1 01 deu 4:3 X 2 03 deu stereo X 2 03 fra französisch Can anyone reproduce this? Is this a bug, a missing feature or just caused by a patch I have? Regards, Markus

VDR functionality request / query
by Kartsa 15 Apr '06

15 Apr '06

I have been wondering if Green and Yellow buttons skip functionality could be configured but not been able to find anything related to it. I happen to have a HD videorecorder which has this skip functionality also but the backward skip is only 7 seconds while forward skip is 30 seconds. This is very handy when skipping adwerticements because the backward skip most often gets you where the program starts again. \\Kartsa No virus found in this outgoing message.

Patch to use Skip keys (Next + Previous)
by Peter Juszack 15 Apr '06

15 Apr '06

Hallo Since a long time I wondered when the very common skip keys are available in VDR. I believe these keys are available but unused on most remote controls. The attached patch adds to new keys kNext and kPrevious to keys.h and keys.c. The patch modifies vdr.c and menu.c to switch channel up/down whith the new keys. I also modified the mp3 and dvd plugins to use the new keys. I can provide patches therefor if the patch will be intergrated in VDR. As logical mp3 jumps between tracks. When playing a DVD Next and Previous have the same meaning like 4 and 6 and jump between DVD chapters. That is the common behaviour of stand-alone DVD players. Very smart when replaying music DVDs because the different songs are DVD chapters. I can also imagine to use Prev/Next to navigate between cutting marks in a recording. (not yet implemented) If you find the new keys useful please contact the list to convince Klaus to integrate the patch.

ttxsubs plays live subtitles instead of recorded subtitles
by Dominique Dumont 25 Mar '06

25 Mar '06

Hello Since about vdr 1.3.39, I've noticed that ttxsubs shows recorded with tttxt subtitles will play subtitles from the program currently played (or recorded) by vdr. On the other hand, ttxtsubs correctly shows subtitles on live (i.e. not recorded ) programs. Has anyone noticed the same behavior ? Thanks

Hi, I've updated my enElchi skin for text2skin to a standalone one, soppalusikka, with a couple of new and neat features. The skin has been used in my VDR setup for a couple of weeks and haven't noticed any major bugs, so here's the first public release for newly released vdr-1.4.44: http://www.saunalahti.fi/~rahrenbe/vdr/soppalusikka/ The enElchi archives will be moved under soppalusikka.

Streaming compliant with IPTV STB
by Vladimir Kangin 03 Mar '06

03 Mar '06

Hi everyone, hi Sascha, I would like to raise a discussion about VDR compliance with a wide range available STBs (Set-Top-Box) for IPTV carrier integration. The advantage of such compliance is obvious - low cost of STB. The cost of STB is in the range of 80-150 USD. The compliance is actually matter of: 1) multicast MPEG-TS streaming support; 2) vdradmin support for multiuser STB environment. Above development could affect the design of VDR in general, I would like to discuss it in details. Please note, that I could provide few STBs for developers for FREE. :) Regards, Vladimir Kangin www.iptp.net
