vdr dies if illegal timer found
by Wolfgang Rohdewald 24 Apr '06

24 Apr '06

xxv generated a timer (via autotimer) which somehow got into timers.conf - I suppose xxv writes directly to timers.conf Then vdr said Apr 24 20:01:00 server vdr: [28378] ERROR: error in /var/lib/vdr/timers.conf, line 201 Apr 24 20:01:00 server vdr: [28378] max. latency time 0 seconds Apr 24 20:01:00 server vdr: [28378] exiting Why does vdr have to exit? Can't it simply ignore errors in timers.conf? this is the defect timer: Note that it consists of several lines separated by LF. 1:S19.2E-1-1079-28011:2006-04-28:1310:1335:50:50:wiso kompakt:* Selbst gemacht: Wohnung für Kids: Tischhaus und Ritterburg * Kochen und Backen: Johann Lafers Himmel un Erd: Mangold * Grüner Daumen - Zimmerpflanzen: Wintergarten (Teil 3) * Gute Reise: Spaniens Nordwesten: Galicien * Landesnachrichten -- Wolfgang

by Guido Fiala 24 Apr '06

24 Apr '06

Since a few days i have a problem that vdr looses all its EPG entries on restart, epg.data stays empty. (If this is relevant - the epg entries are inserted by analogtv via external application) Is there any known reason for this?

Under windows, with official divx player I get that is a FMP4 codec. There is any way to configure wich codec is used to generate the divx (xvid, divx...)? What can be the problem? Thanks.

Problem with LiveBuffer and vdr-xine
by Jose Alberto Reguero 24 Apr '06

24 Apr '06

Is there a way to wait until having data ready when starting xine? (vdr-xine is not in mode LiveTV with LiveBuffer). The replay is a slide show without sound. If pause and resume xine the problem is gone. Its only trouble when starting xine. Changing the channel solves the problem with Frameswait(LiveBuffer )= 8. With Frameswait(LiveBuffer) = 0 when changing the chanel, or starting xine the replay is a slide show without sound. Jose Alberto

[Announce] vdr-mlist-0.0.2
by Joachim Wilke 23 Apr '06

23 Apr '06

Hi everyone, as I use SVDRP-MESG command to show various notifications from different scripts, I have written a small plugin. The mlist plugin shows a list of all shown osd messages since last vdr startup. --- Changes since 0.0.1 --- 2006-04-23: Version 0.0.2 - Adapted the Makefile according to the changes in VDR 1.3.47 - Added backward compatibility to VDR < 1.3.34 (patched by TomG) - Added backward compatibility for APIVERSION in Makefile - Implemented SVDRP-Commands LSTM (to list messages) and DELM (to clear the list). A VDR with version >= 1.3.31 is required for this --- End of changes --- The plugin can be downloaded from: http://joachim-wilke.de/vdr-mlist.htm Best regards, Joachim.

I have two VDR-boxes, on main-box recordings are properly sorted alpabetically by name. The /video directory is nfs-mounted to secondary box as /video/MainVDR. There those same recordings show in chronological order, how do I change that to same as main-box.

[patch] Load plugins based on VDRVERSION and APIVERSION alternatively
by Udo Richter 23 Apr '06

23 Apr '06

Hi Klaus, The new APIVERSION of 1.3.47 will cause lots of trouble as soon as APIVERSION and VDRVERSION differ the first time, as this requires updated Makefiles for all plugins. In best case, VDR wont find a plugin because it has the wrong name, in worst case, an old version is used without noticing. On the other hand, its not too difficult to load plugins based on APIVERSION and VDRVERSION alternatively. That way, plugins that still use VDRVERSION continue to work. This even gives plugin authors the ability to ignore APIVERSION compatibility if the plugin depends on obscure differences between versions. The only drawback is that plugin authors will be lazy adapting to APIVERSION. The attached patch does the trick: It loads plugins using APIVERSION and VDRVERSION, and gives VDRVERSION the precedence. The patch also prefers VDRVERSION when loading "*". Feel free to use it if you want.
