[ANNOUNCE] VDRAdmin-AM-3.4.3rc2
by Andreas Mair 07 Feb '06

07 Feb '06

Hi, VDRAdmin-AM-3.4.3rc2 is available at http://andreas.vdr-developer.org. Have fun! Andreas Changes since v3.4.2: - For timers that are checked by AutoTimer for start/stop times the broadcast's length must at least match 90% of the original timer's length (excluding before/behind buffers). - Reworked detection of already programmed AutoTimers and made it compatible to VDR v1.3.23+ (Based on suggestions by Jouni Karvo). - Don't crash if illegal characters are used for searching (Reported by foobar42). - Fixed error after progamming a timer if VDRAdmin is accessed through apache (Reported by speed). - If there were quotes in an AutoTimer's pattern and you clicked "test" the pattern got cleared (Reported by The_Pit). - Changed program name to VDRAdmin-AM to make clear it's a fork of VDRAdmin. - Added "Help" and "About" to navigation bar at the left. - Hide "Record" button if prog_detail is opened from timer_list. - After clicking "Record" in prog_detail and leaving timer_new return to page where prog_detail has been opened (Reported by Ferdinand Grassmann). - Timers were re-programmed every CheckTimers() call if setup option "do not add summary to timers" is active (Reported by Ferdinand Grassmann). - Dropped sendEmail dependency. Now uses Net::SMTP modules (Patch by Ville Skyttä). - Don't show EPG images for other events (Fixed by Ferdinand Grassmann). - Changed GRAB so that it doesn't use temporary files for VDR >=1.3.38. - VPS for timers (Requested by reibuehl). - Made extension and mimetype for both live and recordings streaming configurable (Suggested at vdrportal.de). - Understand format of VDR v1.3.38+ "lste" command (Thanks to Marcus Breitenstein). - In skin "default": returning from timer_new didn't scroll to the line where "Rec" has been called in prog_list/prog_list2 (Reported by Foobar42) - Fixed installing of missing Perl modules.

Hi all, Thank you to everyone who responded to my questions. I sincerely appreciate it.

(my chipset is S3 Savage IX, 8 MByte for those wondering). Thanks, R.

Lost & regained lock
by Jan Ekholm 06 Feb '06

06 Feb '06

Hi, Since updating to 1.3.41 I see a lot of this in syslog: 03:50:42 hex vdr: [26491] frontend 1 lost lock on channel 6, tp 154 03:50:42 hex vdr: [26491] frontend 1 regained lock on channel 6, tp 154 03:51:03 hex vdr: [26491] frontend 1 lost lock on channel 1, tp 162 03:51:03 hex vdr: [26491] frontend 1 regained lock on channel 1, tp 162 03:51:24 hex vdr: [26491] frontend 1 lost lock on channel 11, tp 378 03:51:24 hex vdr: [26491] frontend 1 regained lock on channel 11, tp 378 03:51:45 hex vdr: [26491] frontend 1 lost lock on channel 32, tp 426 Actually, the whole logfile is full of these messages. I haven't seen them before so I assume it's some kind of error/warning condition that older versions didn't notice? The kernel is a 2.6.10, maybe the drivers there aren't the best and I should try upgrading the kernel? Regards, Jan Ekholm -- 'Educational' refers to the process, not the object.

[ANNOUNCE] VDR developer version 1.3.42
by Klaus Schmidinger 06 Feb '06

06 Feb '06

VDR developer version 1.3.42 is now available at ftp://ftp.cadsoft.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-1.3.42.tar.bz2 A 'diff' against the previous version is available at ftp://ftp.cadsoft.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-1.3.41-42.diff The changes since version 1.3.41: - Removed leftover 'needsBufferReserve' variable from cTransfer (thanks to Marco Schlüßler). - Fixed setting "No title" for broken event data (reported by Ronny Kornexl). - Fixed channel up/down switching on single card systems (reported by Stefan Huelswitt). - Fixed handling "pending" timers that blocked others that actually could record (reported by Thomas Koch). - Speeded up cVideoRepacker (thanks to Reinhard Nissl). - Added an 'Id' parameter to cDevice::PlayAudio() to allow plugins to easier process the audio data (thanks to Marco Schlüßler). - Added Czech language texts (thanks to Bárta Vladimír). Plugin authors may want to add the new entries to their I18N texts and contact the translators to have their texts translated. Note that there are now 21 different OSD languages, so please make sure you have 21 versions for each of your texts. - Updated the Polish OSD texts (thanks to Jaroslaw Swierczynski). - Fixed auto advance in string entry fields when pressing Up/Down in insert mode (reported by Udo Richter). - Fixed handling the "Setup/OSD/Menu button closes" option when set to 'yes' in case a replay is active (thanks to Udo Richter). - Improved cUnbufferedFile; USE_FADVISE is now defined in tools.c by default, so if you don't want to use "fadvise" you need to comment out that line (thanks to Artur Skawina). - Fixed a missing ',' in the Swedish OSD texts (thanks to Arthur Konovalov). - cDevice::Transferring() can now be used to determine whether the (primary) device is currently playing in Transfer Mode (based on a suggestion by Reinhard Nissl). - The 'runvdr' script no longer uses the $VDRUSR environment variable to set the user id under which 'vdr' shall run. Just add the '-u username' option when you call 'runvdr'. - Fixed multiple entries of the same subdirectory in the "Recordings" menu (reported by Christian Jacobsen). - Enabled generating a core dump if VDR is run with a different user id (thanks to Ville Skyttä). - Fixed handling the "Blue" key in the "Schedule" menu for the current channel (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - Renamed the Makefile target 'plugins-clean' to 'clean-plugins' (suggested by Sebastian Frei). - Made all font and image data 'const' (thanks to Darren Salt). - Fixed scrolling with Up/Down in case there are non-selectable items at the beginning or end of the menu (reported by Helmut Auer). - Added cSkin::GetTextAreaWidth() and cSkin::GetTextAreaFont(), so that a plugin that wants to do special text formatting can do so (thanks to Alexander Rieger). Have fun! Klaus

Few basic VDR questions
by CR 06 Feb '06

06 Feb '06

Hi everyone, I am new to VDR, but I have tried my best to do research before asking these questions. 1. Does VDR work with any DVB card supported by the Linux-DVB kernel drivers? 2. My DVB device will not have any TV-out hardware. With VDR, can I utilize the TV-out built into my video card for playback, OSD, etc or do I need a third-party front-end such as "kvdr" ? My video chipset's TV-out is supported by XOrg and I do have Xv support. 3. Is there anyone who has used the vdr add-on "noad" (http://www.freepgs.com/noad/README.en.html) succesfully in the US/North America? How well does it work? Thanks in advance. R.

by Luis Palacios 06 Feb '06

Thanks Darren for your patch for vdr-xine few hours ago. As I'm still using softdevice and had the same issue I've adapted yours to it. It adds support for this new feature added by Klaus in 1.3.42: [..] - Added an 'Id' parameter to cDevice::PlayAudio() to allow plugins to easier process the audio data (thanks to Marco Schlüßler).
