[ANNOUNCE] VDRAdmin-AM-3.4.4rc
by Andreas Mair 30 Mar '06

30 Mar '06

Hi, the release candidate is available at http://andreas.vdr-developer.org/en It'll move unchanged to the final release except heavy bugs will show. The final release is scheduled for the end of next week. Have fun! Andreas *** HISTORY *** 2006-03-30: 3.4.4rc - Fixed: new TV grabbing introduced with beta2 (Many thanks to horchi for reporting and testing). - Changed: check if a timer to be programmed by an AutoTimer already exists (Requested by several people). - Added: display AutoTimer information in timer's edit view (Somehow requested by MarkusE). - Fixed: recordings/timers/autotimers containing double-quotes couldn't be deleted (Reported by The Unknown). 2006-03-14: 3.4.4beta2 - Reworked TV grabbing. - Added optional parameters for TV for use with external tools: http://vdradmin-am.ip?aktion=tv_show&size=[full|half|quarter]&interval=[0| 1|2|3|5|10|30|60]&tv_only=bla - Fixed program switching in prog_summary, prog_list and prog_detail (Based on suggestions by kayser). - New: buttons to move to previous/next day in timers_list (Requested by BigDiSt). - Moved "help" menu into "about" menu. - Added VDR's "commands.conf" conntent to select box in navigation menu. - Changed defaults for "autotimer checking" in timers as they had been in v3.4.3. - New button on remote controls: Mute (Requested by Rüdiger Jung and Hardy Flor). - Timeline in timer_list will show timers of current day even if a timer starts the day before (Reported by Hardy Flor). 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.

too many different colors used in palette
by C.Y.M 29 Mar '06

29 Mar '06

Is it normal to get the "too many different colors used in palette" errors in the syslog when using vdr with xine? I would assume that xine can render more than just the limited full featured card's OSD. I should mention that I am using a full-featured card (Nexus) but in softmode and vdr-xine. I am also using the Enigma skin. It seems the images are rendered just fine on the television. The messages "too man different colors ..." seem to be superfluous. One thing that may be affecting this (and the reason some of you dont see this message) is the version of libmagic++ you have installed. I am using libmagick version 6.2.4.5. Best Regards.

mp3 plugin gcc 4.1 fix
by Sean Carlos 29 Mar '06

29 Mar '06

The attached patch allows the mp3 plugin to compile with gcc 4.1 (i.e. Fedora core 5) - to avoid "extra qualification 'foo::' on member 'bar'" errors. It shamelessly follows the changes made to the epgsearch plugin by Darren Salt. I don't know C, I just know how to follow a pattern; it worked for me but there may/will be room for improvement.

vdr-xine, xine-lib and XvMCNVIDIA
by Luis Palacios 29 Mar '06

29 Mar '06

Sorry if this is not the correct forum, but don't know where to ask and can't find anything in 'google' :-/ I'm trying to compile my xine-lib with XvMCNVIDIA support but it doesn't recognizes that I have such library in my system. AFAIK my system should support XvMC: - Pentium 4 with GeForce 6800 LE - xorg-x11-6.8.2-r6 - nvidia-kernel-1.0.8178-r3 - nvidia-glx-1.0.8178-r1 $ DISPLAY=:0.1 xdpyinfo | grep XVideo XVideo XVideo-MotionCompensation <== !!! I'm using the last library recommended by Reinhard: http://home.vr-web.de/~rnissl/xine-lib-cvs-20060319194500.tar.bz2 I have these libraries: $ ls -al /usr/lib/*XvMC* -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 74512 Dec 13 14:58 /usr/lib/libI810XvMC.a lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 18 Dec 13 14:58 /usr/lib/libI810XvMC.so - > libI810XvMC.so.1.0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 18 Dec 13 14:58 /usr/lib/libI810XvMC.so.1 -> libI810XvMC.so.1.0 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 75022 Dec 13 14:58 /usr/lib/libI810XvMC.so.1.0 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 8332 Dec 13 14:58 /usr/lib/libXvMC.a lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 14 Dec 13 14:58 /usr/lib/libXvMC.so -> libXvMC.so.1.0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 14 Dec 13 14:58 /usr/lib/libXvMC.so.1 -> libXvMC.so.1.0 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 12275 Dec 13 14:58 /usr/lib/libXvMC.so.1.0 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 183412 Mar 25 11:03 /usr/lib/libXvMCNVIDIA.a lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 25 Mar 25 16:34 /usr/lib/libXvMCNVIDIA.so -> libXvMCNVIDIA.so.1.0.8178 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 170732 Mar 25 11:03 /usr/lib/libXvMCNVIDIA.so. 1.0.8178 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 25 Dec 24 12:38 /usr/lib/ libXvMCNVIDIA_dynamic.so.1 -> libXvMCNVIDIA.so.1.0.8178 But when I run 'configure --with-xvmc-lib=XvMCNVIDIA': [..] checking for XvMCPutSlice in -lXvMCW... no *** Could not link with -lXvMCW for vld extensions. checking for XvMCCreateContext in -lXvMCW... no *** Could not link with -lXvMCW for standard XvMC. *** Disabling xxmc plugin due to above errors. checking whether to enable the xvmc plugin... checking for XvMCCreateContext in -lXvMCNVIDIA... no *** Could not link with -lXvMC. *** Disabling old xvmc plugin due to above errors.

VDRConvert: DVDANIMFRAMES syntax error operand expected
by C.Y.M 29 Mar '06

29 Mar '06

Hello, I have been testing VDRConvert from CVS and noticed that when I create a dvd that has a menu with over two pages, I get the following non-fatal error. Is this something you experience too? I am using Bash-3.0. I have noticed that Bash-3.1 has some problems with older scripts but this should not be the cause since I have reverted back to the stable version. The only relevant settings I can find in my vdrconvert.env file are these: # Disable animations and use still background DVD_USEVIDEOBACKGROUND="no" DVD_USESUBVIDEOBACKGROUND="no" The error message is as follows: --snip-- Create title menu text picture (page=1 title=1) Create title menu text picture (page=1 title=2) Create title menu text picture (page=1 title=3) Create title menu text picture (page=2 title=4) Create title menu text picture (page=2 title=5) Create title menu text picture (page=2 title=6) Create title menu background (page=1) Create title menu animation frames (page=1) 00180 (00180) Create title menu background (page=2) Create title menu animation frames (page=2) /usr/local/bin/vdr2dvd.sh: line 2880: let: DVDANIMFRAMES=: syntax error: operand expected (error token is "=") --snip-- Best Regards, C.Y.M.

vdr 1.3.44, cutting marks strangeness... (bug)
by Guido Fiala 28 Mar '06

28 Mar '06

I observed that marks.vdr seems not to be compatible between vdr 1.2.6 and 1.3.44, in 1.3.44 the marks seem to be behind their correct position about a few minutes. (i'am using analogtv plugin for recordings, not sat) The following applies: (ok= marks in correct position, not ok= marks wrong) Recording made with 1.2.6, played with 1.2.6 = ok Recording made with 1.3.44, played with 1.2.6 = ok Recording made with 1.2.6, played with 1.3.44 = not ok Recording made with 1.3.44, played with 1.3.44 = not ok So the error/change may not be in noad nor in analogtv - or is my logic wrong? (used noad 0.71 but was same with older noad, with 1.2.6 i have a much older analogtv plugin than with 1.3.44 but the recordings are interoperable so i assume no relevant change and it might not a failure of noad either)

vdr-xine remote control??
by Simon Baxter 28 Mar '06

28 Mar '06

Hi. Last year there was talk about adding remote control of xineplayer, so .avi and .mpg files being watched could be paused, restarted, FF and REW'd. Has any progress been made on this? I'd like to start using xineplayer rather than mplayer..... Thanks Simon

More than four DVB-cards?
by vdr＠digestive.jpl.se 28 Mar '06

28 Mar '06

Hi list! Is there a limit of how many DVB-cards I can use with VDR? I get a feeling of that I only can use four cards together with VDR - is that correct and if it is - how can I change it? Best regards, Lars Fredriksson
