Problems with PVR350 and DVB-C
by Dirk Vornheder 16 Mar '06

16 Mar '06

Hi ! My standalone vdr-PC has only a Hauppauge PVR350 inside. The pc has no keyboard, no mouse. The PVR350 is directly connected to my Plasma-TV via svhs-cable. I use vdr 1.3.44 with the plugins pvrinput and pvr350. Everything works fine. Yesterday i buy and insert a Hauppauge DVB-C with CI modul to use my Digital Home Connection from Kabel Deutschland. Recording works but i can't see anything on my tv screen. I don't change the cable connection between pc (PVR350/DVB-C) and tv screen.

lirc w/ vdr working for some time but then ignoring keys ?
by Soeren Sonnenburg 16 Mar '06

16 Mar '06

Hi all, I am experiencing difficulties with the lirc-vdr interface. It is working flawlessly for a couple of minutes (hours) but then suddenly does not anymore do anything, or ignores 99.9% of the keypresses... except for the first one (e.g. pressing menu once makes it pop up but then pressing menu again does not hide it... also no other button works afterwards). I checked wether this is a problem with lirc or a problem of vdr and well lirc is still up and running and other lirc based apps still work. This is with vdr 1.3.34 but judging from the source of 1.3.44 this will happen there too (the only change I can see is that cases where lircd is restarted are trapped). Any ideas ?

RE: [vdr] Any USA users out there?
by Vladimir Shved 16 Mar '06

16 Mar '06

How do you explain the fact that there is a lot of hype from many North American users, and sellers, of DVB-S standalone boxes that they can receive more than a thousand of channels? I think you're missing out something there... --Vlad > -----Original Message----- > From: vdr-bounces(a)linuxtv.org [mailto:vdr-bounces@linuxtv.org] On Behalf > Of Simon Baxter > Sent: Tuesday, March 14, 2006 10:01 AM > To: VDR Mailing List > Subject: Re: [vdr] Any USA users out there? > > This is what I heard.

vdr 1.3.44: more format string checking
by Darren Salt 15 Mar '06

15 Mar '06

I've done a build of vdr 1.3.44 with -Wformat=2. This was noisier than it might be due to some tr() calls; however, in <libintl.h>, I've spotted something of use: __attribute_format_arg__ (index) With this added to the prototype for I18nTranslate, a lot of "non-constant format string" warnings are eliminated. I've also found several possible problems, mostly missing format strings. I don't /think/ that any of the missing-format-string ones are exploitable (at least one definitely isn't), but it's better to have them fixed anyway... Patch attached. This kills all of the format string warnings which I could find. -- | Darren Salt | linux or ds at | nr.

Vdr-xine and XvMC?
by Seppo Ingalsuo 14 Mar '06

14 Mar '06

Has someone had success with XvMC? Video decoding, even 1080i HDTV promo channels from Astra, works with very low CPU load but I get no VDR OSD and I think aspect ratio for 16:9 video is wrong. XvMC driver is from Nvidia 7676, vdr, vdr-xine, etc. are latest versions. X desktop size is 1368x768. The same systems runs nicely with Xv output method but there is a little bit too little power to run a good deinterlacer such GreedyH without cheap mode for HDTV. It would be also nice to have automatic separate deinterlacer configurations for SDTV and HDTV but I belive that goes out of scope of vdr-xine plugin, right? BR, Seppo

xine changing OSD modes when switching channels
by C.Y.M 13 Mar '06

13 Mar '06

When I switch channels in vdr-1.3.44, I noticed that xine-0.7.7 is switching OSD display modes during channel changes. I am currently using "blend clipped" for the OSD display mode, but when I switch channels, xine temporarily goes into X11 overlay mode in the middle of channel change, then goes back to the mode I have selected to use. Any way of preventing xine from temporarily switching to "X11 overlay" during channel changes? Best Regards,
