I have a Suse 10 installation, with VDR 1.3.37 with no patches but only a couple of plugins. Two cards, a Nexus FF sat card and a DVB-T card. Nexus firmware is the latest experimental on Suse site. If I issue a GRAB command the file I get is "empty", blue. in Jpeg it's only kb, in PNM is a bit more but it contains (apart the header) all the same char! The command I issue is: frank@linux:~> telnet localhost 2001 Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to localhost. Escape character is '^]'. 220 linux SVDRP VideoDiskRecorder 1.3.37; Wed Mar 8 10:35:03 2006 grab image.pnm pnm 250 Grabbed image image.pnm pnm In the log I get: Mar 8 10:35:03 linux vdr[4379]: connect from 127.0.0.1, port 1992 - accepted Mar 8 10:35:21 linux vdr[4379]: grabbing to image.pnm (PNM 100 924 576) Mar 8 10:35:29 linux vdr[4379]: closing SVDRP connection I have no access to the console since the PC is 1500 km from me !!! Any clue ? Francesco

Re: [vdr] VDR and MythTV

> Personnaly, I switched to vdr since dvb-t was launched in my area and > Mythtv (0.18) disapointed me : slow channel changing, no signal > monitoring, buggy support for hardware mpeg2 decoding (nvidia). Hi Damien, and thanks for taking your time to give me some hints. The slow channel is still there in 0.19. Signal monitoring is there now, hardware mpeg2 might work now but there is still a very negative atmosphere in the Myth community, which bothers me a lot. > So I adopted vdr and I'm quite happy with it : > > - much better picture with a dxr3 card that is well supported by vdr > - very light software (no X11 no mysql needed) > - simpler OSD than MythTV (which was too computerish for my wife). > - regular updates. > > Now there is Mythtv 0.19 which seems to be a major update and fixes many > of the points above. > But I don't regret my choice and I will go vdr for a while. Thanks for that, I will see when I get the time to compile VDR and the wanted/needed plugins. Among others I need o display the picture through X11 on my not that good VGA card (ProSavage8). I guess transferring the recorded programs from Myth is a nobrainer as hey are in MPG format now. Dag

Remote control and view of VDR (over network)
by CR 07 Mar '06

07 Mar '06

Hi, For a number of reasons, I want to keep my VDR computer in one room and view the VDR stream on a second computer which is hooked to the TV. Ideally, I'd have full-access to VDR on the second computer (EPG, pause live TV, etc, etc), as if I were on the VDR machine. Is there any plug-in/patches and programs that would give me this capability? I know of VOMP but I have no MediaMVP (the second computer should be fast enough to do this). I tried to launch vdr with softdevice and the display exported to the second computer (and I verified X programs launch, xclock appeared on second computer's display, etc) but I got a permissions error on the client: " X Error of failed request: BadAccess (attempt to access private resource denied) Major opcode of failed request: 149 (MIT-SHM) Minor opcode of failed request: 1 (X_ShmAttach) " I would really really appreciate any suggestions. At this point, it is not possible for me to hook the TV directly to the VDR computer. I know MythTV has this kind of capability but I would really like to avoid going down that route. Regards, CR.

vdr & softdevice problem.
by CR 07 Mar '06

07 Mar '06

Hello, I am using vdr-1.3.44 and softdevice 0.2.2 on a P4 with a TNT2 AGP video card, XOrg, using XOrg "nv" (nvidia) driver and XV extentions. When the softdevice window comes up, I can see the OSD/text for about 3-5 seconds and it disappears. If I move the the window around some, the text re-appears for a few seconds and then goes to black. I can push buttons (i.e. during the remote control config) and the display updates, but it goes to black and I'm forced to move the window around. I'm trying to get vdr going for the first time and it's tough not being able to look at the screen...ideas? CR.

Feature Request: Use preferred audio language for playback of recordings
by Sebastian 06 Mar '06

06 Mar '06

Hi Klaus! Could you implement this? When I setup VDR like this Audio language: French Audio language: Deutsch then during normal live tv zapping everything is in order (= I get French audio). But when I playback a recording I still have to switch manually in case the French track is track 1 and German is track 0. I think this would be nice to have. I'd definitely appreciate it :) Thanks for everything Sebastian -- "When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro." (HST)
