Hi,
I am using softdevice (0.2.3, I was using 0.2.2 before) in a system with
an ATI Radeon 9500 AGP, Xorg 6.8.2 , ATI's fglrx driver ver 8.24.8 .
Xorg is loading the ATI xv-overlay. Overlay mode is set to "psuedo"
(hardware?). I've tried VDR versions 1.3.44 to 1.3.48 with same behavior.
Oddly, the OSD overlay seems to be "vertically interlaced" -- instead of
being a smooth blackish-color on-top of the live video I see vertical
banding, as if every other vertical line is not drawn. …
[View More]Depending on the
background video, the text is sometimes hard to read.
If I set the overlay mode to "software" then the OSD is really messed
same. "Software" also did not work with an nVidia TNT2 using Xorg 6.8.2's
nVidia driver. I know what the OSD "should" look like, when I was using
vdr-xine, the OSD was a uniform blackish color cleanly overlayed on top of
video.
Are there any suggestions?
Thank you.
CR.

The number buttons on my RCU carry auxiliary labels "ABC", "DEF", etc. These
buttons work somewhat when editing the names of recordings. I can always get
the first letter of the label, e.g., "a", "d", "g", "j", "m", and so on.
However, when I press the same button again, VDR will usually interpret it
as a "cursor right" event. Key-repeat events are ignored.
For instance, when I start editing the string "Euronews" by pressing the Right
button in the "Edit timer" menu, it will display as …
[View More]follows:
Right->
[E]uronews
2->
[A]uronews
2->
Au[a]onews
If I keep a longer pause between the two keypresses of the button "2",
the string will change to "Aaronews".
While testing this, I once got the correct behaviour:
[A]uronews -> [B]uronews -> [C]uronews. Could the code forget to initialize
some variable properly? Am I the only one who is experiencing this?
In case it matters, I'm using LC_CTYPE=fi_FI.iso-8859-1, and the remote control
unit is driven by the <linux/input.h> driver of cx88-input.c. The key-press
and key-repeat events are delivered by the vdr-softdevice plugin, which gets
them via the linuxinput driver of DirectFB. Key-release events are not
delivered.

hi,
i want to use astra and hotbird, but i don't know how. what is the easiest
way? at the moment i have a quad-lnb for astra and two dvb-s cards. i
wanted to by a additional lnb for hotbird and put it together on the
satellite dish. but how do i have to connect it to the computer? normally
i want to see astra, only sometimes hotbird, so i don't want to use one
dvb-s card only for hotbird. i found a diseq-switch, wich has two in and
one out connectors. is it possible to connect one line …
[View More]from astra an one
from hotbird to that switch and from the switch to one of the dvb-cards.
the other card stays at the second line from astra. is it possible for vdr
to handle this?
and what if for example i watch with the dvb-card (1) which is connected
directly to astra and at the same time i want to record at astra with the
other dvb-card (2). should work. now i stop watching on 1 and want to see
hotbird. what does vdr do? switch recording to 1 and watch hotbird via 2?
any other possibility to include hotbird? better solution?
thanks

Hi all,
this is a new plugin based on famous the plugin vdr-pilot created by Olivier
Jacques. It allows just like it to browse the EPG, but navigation calls the
skin that you use, and the plugin has the appearance of the OSD * Display
Channel Info*. The plugin adds the possibility of having detailed
information of the event and launching timers.
Keys
up/down: next/prev channel
right/left: next/prev group
red: edit a timer
green: display infos
yellow: prev event
blue: next …
[View More]event
wget http://vdrwiki.free.fr/wiki/archive/vdr-pilotskin-0.0.1alpha2.tgz
In this pre-version, the plugin can be start only with the keymacros, there
is an option to hidemainmenuentry which fails.

Hello,
I've installed this evening vdr 1.4.0 and various plugins.
All is compiling fine (wel, all plugins I want).... but when I start vdr, the video moves for less than half of a seconfd then freeze ! I can use my remote controler to switch channels, set the plugins or start whatever... Watching a recorded movie results in the same problem ! The display freezes, but the remote controler (and also vdr) is still working !
The processor is running at around 60% whereas using vdr 1.3.36 (my …
[View More]current running version), the processor runs generally at less than 10%.
Looking at the logs, i've notivced many many errors like indicated hereafter:
Apr 30 23:10:05 mcp-vdr vdr: [8214] ERROR (transfer.c,92): Argument invalide
Apr 30 23:10:07 mcp-vdr last message repeated 62930 times
Apr 30 23:10:07 mcp-vdr vdr: [8215] buffer usage: 70% (tid=8214)
Apr 30 23:10:07 mcp-vdr vdr: [8214] ERROR (transfer.c,92): Argument invalide
Apr 30 23:10:07 mcp-vdr last message repeated 10897 times
Apr 30 23:10:07 mcp-vdr vdr: [8215] buffer usage: 80% (tid=8214)
Apr 30 23:10:07 mcp-vdr vdr: [8214] ERROR (transfer.c,92): Argument invalide
I' don't know what to do in order to get my vdr working with the latest version... I'm using vdr 1.4.0 and a DXR3 card using plugin version 0.2.5 !
I tryed to change the flush rate of the plugin to 300, but nothing better ! I tried also a previous version of the plugin, but the same problem occurs !
Many thanks for your help.

I'm releasing a new version of a softphone plugin for vdr
(http://www.cadsoft.de/vdr).
This plugin is available at http://www.ventoso.org/luca/vdr/
From the README file:
This plugin is a very simple (read: not very featureful and hopefully
with an high WAF ;-) softphone using the iax protocol (asterisk server).
It uses the iaxclient library (http://iaxclient.sourceforge.net) to
handle every details of the call, so the plugin is just an user interface.
It needs a free (i.e that isn't used …
[View More]by something else, like a softdevice
plugin), full-duplex sound card.
There are no new features, this is a compatibility version for vdr >=
1.3.47 (including 1.4.0).
Bye

Hello,
I'm releasing a compatibility version for vdr>=1.3.47 (including 1.4.0)
of the savechannel plugin available at
http://www.ventoso.org/luca/vdr/
This plugin saves the channel as soon as you switch to it, so, if vdr
crashes, when it restarts it will tune to it and not to the last channel
saved in setup.conf

Hi,
there is an update for the remote control plugin which is required to
compile the plugin with vdr 1.3.48+ (and 1.4.0+ of course).
It will also work with older vdr releases.
History:
--------
2006-04-30: Version 0.3.7
- Updated Makefile (use APIVERSION for VDR >= 1.3.47, VDRVERSION otherwise)
It can be downloaded from
http://www.escape-edv.de/endriss/vdr/
See README for details.
Short description:
------------------
This plugin extends the remote control …
[View More]capabilities of vdr.
The following remote control devices are supported:
(a) linux input device driver ('/dev/input/eventX', X=0,1,2,...)
- built-in remote control port of the av711x-based DVB cards
(aka full-featured cards), e.g. DVB-S Nexus [1]
- remote control port of some budget cards, e.g. Nova-CI [2]
- other input devices (not tested, please report success!)
See file FAQ for a list of cards which have been reported to work.
(b) keyboard (tty driver): /dev/console, /dev/ttyX
(c) TCP connection (telnet)
(d) LIRC
Notes:
[1] supported by DVB and dvb-kernel
[2] supported by dvb-kernel only
Summary of command line options:
--------------------------------
-i dev, --input=dev select device which supports the /dev/input protocol
-l dev, --lirc=dev select LIRC device
-t dev, --tty=dev select terminal device
-T dev, --TTY=dev select terminal device with 'OSD'
-p tcp:n, --port=tcp:n select connection on tcp port <n>
Examples:
---------
vdr -Premote
vdr -P"remote -i autodetect"
Try to autodetect device '/dev/input/eventX' (X = 0,1,2,...).
If no device can be identified, '-i /dev/input/event0' is used.
vdr -P"remote -i /dev/input/event2"
use specified input device '/dev/input/event2'
vdr -P"remote -l /dev/lircd"
select LIRC remote control
vdr -P"remote -p tcp:3333"
wait for a telnet connection on tcp port 3333
(use 'telnet vdr 3333' to access this port)
vdr -P"remote -t /dev/tty10"
use terminal device without 'OSD'
vdr -P"remote -T /dev/tty10"
use terminal device with 'OSD'
vdr -P"remote -i autodetect -p tcp:3333 -t /dev/tty10"
use multiple devices
Have fun,
Oliver
