Announce: zaphistory-0.0.3
by Peter Juszack 10 Mar '06

10 Mar '06

Hallo, brave people might check out the new version of the zaphistory plugin. There is still some testing to do. Changes: - 2 history views: channelname + EPG or channelname + statistics - history is stored and will survive reboot - sorting by 'latest view', 'total zap count' or 'total view time' - default view and sort can be choosen in setup http://vaasa.wi-bw.tfh-wildau.de/~pjuszack/digicam/download/vdr-zaphistory-… The EPG view is mostly taken from the epgsearch plugin but is not that configurable. Have fun Peter http://vaasa.wi-bw.tfh-wildau.de/~pjuszack/digicam

Problems with TABs in OSD
by Richard Reuters 10 Mar '06

10 Mar '06

I'm writing a plugin and would like to display some OSD output in columns like many other plugins and vdr itself does. But special characters like '\t' for a tabulator are not working. For examlple I've a cOSdMenu derived class and want to add an entry (simplified): class cItems : public cOsdMenu { private: int item_type; char *header; char *name; public: cItems::cItems(int Type,const char *Text,const char *Header); virtual ~cItems(); virtual eOSState ProcessKey(eKeys Key); }; class cItemsEntry : public cOsdItem { private: char *entry; public: cItemsEntry(const char *Entry); ~cItemsEntry(); } cItems::cItems(int Type,const char *Text,const char *Header) :cOsdMenu("") { item_type = Type; header = strdup(Header); name = strdup(Text); [...] // Display in columns cItemsEntry *entry = new cItemsEntry("Col1 \t Col2 \t Col3"); Add(entry); Display(); } cItemsEntry::cItemsEntry(const char *Entry) { entry = strdup(Entry); SetText(entry,false); } The entry is displayed as "Col1", so the text behind the first tabular just disappears. Where is the error??? ciao Richard Reuters

svdrphosts.conf and netmask problem/bug
by Kartsa 09 Mar '06

09 Mar '06

I am either having a bit of a problem with configuring svdrphost.conf file or there is a bug. Lets assume my vdr is in address 1.2.3.204. If I put this address in the conf file I can access vdr through svdrp. If on the other hand I put 1.2.3.192/26 which actually means a block of addresses from 1.2.3.192 to 1.2.3.255 I am not able to connect. And it is vdr that denies the connection because it says so in the log (connect from 1.2.3.204, port 32780 - DENIED). Am I again missing something or is this a bug? Oh and I am using vdr-1.3.43 \\Kartsa No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition. Version: 7.1.375 / Virus Database: 268.2.1/277 - Release Date: 8.3.2006

[ANNOUNCE] VDRAdmin-AM-3.4.4beta
by Andreas Mair 09 Mar '06

09 Mar '06

Hi, VDRAdmin-AM-3.4.4beta is available at http://andreas.vdr-developer.org/en This release now is compatible to VDR v1.3.44+ Please read the HISTORY below for additional changes! There's also a new BugTrackingSystem which is the preferred way of reporting bugs. You'll find it on the VDRAdmin-AM homepage if you follow the "Bugs" menu. Have fun! Andreas ****** HISTORY ****** 2006-03-08: 3.4.4beta - Added script "convert.sh" to convert the AutoTimer information in VDR's timers.conf to the new format (see "convert.sh" for usage). - Use the summary/aux timer field to store AutoTimer information to be compatible to VDR v1.3.44 and later. - Removed "Add summary to new timers" option. The EPG summary is no longer copied to the timer's summary/aux field (for VDR 1.3.44+) or always copied (VDR 1.3.43-). - Made summary textfield readonly while adding/editing a timer. - Unless NO_EVENTID or NO_EVENTID_ON is used the EPG-ID is stored in every (auto)timer set using VDRAdmin-AM. - For every timer the current start/stop margins are saved in its summary/aux field. These are used for checking AutoTimers by time. - Fixed bug while checking for already programmed (auto)timers if not using EPG-ID.

Grab function for NTSC
by Virgil Mocanu 09 Mar '06

09 Mar '06

Hello everybody, I'm trying to capture a screenshot by SVDRP but, apparently, it's not working properly for NTSC... I only see half of the image: either the even lines or the odd lines. I patched the code to duplicate the lines but the image quality is not very good. Is this a known issue? It also might be a driver problem... but I don't know where the image is coming from. Many thanks for any comments or suggestions! Virgil

Re: [vdr] VDR and MythTV

Thanks for your views. > Here are some of my opinions: > > - Channel changes in LiveTV are much faster in VDR (MythTV with DVB-T is > painful, and I think this still applies to 0.19) It's also more > reliable (MythTV 0.18 often crashed when zapping a lot, I don't know if > it's better now) Still crashes and still painfully slow on changing channels.... > - LiveTV is not recorded to disk in VDR, unless you pause it. This means > you can't say "I missed that one, let's go back and see it again" as with > MythTV. Never used that feature anyway, so no problem. > - Programming recordings is easier in VDR, especially for non-tech users. > It's not so heavily epg-oriented as MythTV. This is good for countries > like Spain where you can't trust the epg timetables. Our EPG is quite good, but the kids and wife wouldn't mind an easier interface > - You have DVB radios in VDR, I think they're not yet available in MythTV. OK. I also noticed that VDR can record one stream from the same MUX when you watch another. If this works it would be very useful here in Finland with currently two MUX:es and my having only one DVB tuner (so far). > - No (dis)advantages on watching DVDs, and the same for DivX/etc if you use > xineplayer from xine plugin (it needs no reencoding) That's good as it is in heavy use here. > - VDR doesn't compare to MythTV for viewing images. This is the reason why > I still stick to MythTV, as my parents spend a lot of time viewing > photos. I use MythTV for this, and VDR for everything else. This is a disadvantage as we also use this feature. On the other hand isn't the Myth interface that good either. Need to take a look at this. Thanks Dag

DVD with AC3 audio question
by Kartsa 08 Mar '06

08 Mar '06

I tried to find any previous threads about how to get AC3 audio out of DVD's. Could not find. Sorry if this has been discussed before. I am not sure how to do that. I have vdr-1.3.23 and dvd-0.3.6-b03 and DVD with AC3 sound is not producing any sound in FF cards audio out. Should I have AC3 bitstreamout plugin and get AC3 sound out from soundcard? \\Kartsa No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.

Sorry for late answer, but it is possible. Not in a standard VDR but with a VDR patched with the LiveBuffer -patch. http://home.vrweb.de/~bergwinkl.thomas/ German wiki (no English) http://www.vdr-wiki.de/wiki/index.php/Livebuffer-patch Automatic translation to English: http://translate.google.com/translate?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.vdr-wiki.de%2Fwiki… Regards, Jori
