buffer overflow
by yitahutu 20 Apr '06

20 Apr '06

I'm trying to install my 1st vdr system on a PII350 pc, debian sid, kernel 2.6.11, vdr v1.3.44, em8300 driver 0.15.3 and vdr-dxr3 plugin v0.2.5. now when I start vdr, there is a still picture on the tv and no sound, and I found some buffer overflow error in /var/log/syslog: I've googled these error message, but can't find how to fix it.

Usability issue: "back" key not working as expected
by Andreas Mair 20 Apr '06

20 Apr '06

Hi, I think the "back" key is not working as expected (at least for me ;)) and I think that's confusing and illogical. Examples: 1) Hitting "back" key after "info" key to leave info OSD doesn't close OSD but shows the schedule or the recordings OSD. 2) Pressing the "back" key after any key defined in keymacros.conf also doesn't close the OSD. Using the default keymacros.conf: hitting "blue" then "back" opens the main menu. I know that the "menu" key always closes the current OSD. But nevertheless "back" associates that by hitting it you'll get to where you came from. I think nobody thinks of getting to VDR's previous menu in its menu hierarchy. Is there a chance that this will change someday or is this the intended behaviour? Kind regards, Andreas -- http://andreas.vdr-developer.org --- VDRAdmin-AM

Re: list mirroring

I think the mirror is auto created, but the generated > threads contains all the sender mail addresses for followup messages in > clear text. Just to make this clear... All the incoming messages have the email addresses changed so they will read 'name at address.com' so this will not get picked up by most spam systems. I think this is the same procedure used by the published copy on the main site. Where this idea failed was that in the message in question someone had included the email address in the message. I am looking into scanning the messages for email addresses without messing up code fragments now. Sorry if this has caused anyone any problems. Ed.

Default language not taken into account for replay
by Markus Ehrnsperger 19 Apr '06

19 Apr '06

Hello, I have vdr-1.3.43 and when I replay a recording, the default language is not taken into account. So if I set the default language to French and view Arte, I hear the French audio track, as expected. When I record it and replay the recording, I hear the German audio track. info.vdr is (for example): C S19.2E-1-1101-28109 T Zapping International S Das Fernsehen in Tatarstan D Sage mir, was du schaust, und ich sage dir, wer du bist: ARTE zappt sich durch die Fernsehlandschaften anderer Lä nder. Jeden Samstag um 14.45 Uhr. Heute: Fernsehen in Tatarstan. X 1 01 deu 4:3 X 2 03 deu stereo X 2 03 fra französisch Can anyone reproduce this? Is this a bug, a missing feature or just caused by a patch I have? Regards, Markus

analogtv plugin with WinTV USB Live
by Simon Baxter 19 Apr '06

19 Apr '06

Has anyone got a USB Live adapter working under VDR? Mine is working with the latest USBvision drivers (not ivtv) and the camera works fine under xawtv. What's my best bet to get this working under VDR?? Thanks Simon

VDR with tone burst switches?
by CR 18 Apr '06

18 Apr '06

Hi all, Can one get VDR to work with 22 kHz 2x1 toneburst switches (i.e. no DiSEqC switches)? I'm wondering if anyone has found toneburst to be faster and/or more reliable than DiSEqC. (I think the answer to my own question is "yes", the "SW" setting, but I would like to confirm). I am trying to use a 4x1 DiSEqC switch but oddly some transponders don't scan with the switch inserted (they scan perfectly without the switch). Thanks, CR.

[Announce] epgsearch-0.9.16
by Christian Wieninger 18 Apr '06

18 Apr '06

Hi, just a small bug fix release: 2006-04-18: Version 0.9.16 (maintenance release) fixes: - the display of 'Overview - Now' was broken, when using progressbar and channel numbers in default menu look. Thanks to Gerhard Steiner for reporting this one. - when using small OSD fonts, the progressbars where flickering because of 1 pixel line height. Thanks to holymoly and TomG@vdrportal. - support for the APIVERSION define as introduced in vdr-1.3.47 PS: users of the skin soppalusikka might wonder why there is no gap between progressbar and status fields in 'Overview - Now' when using the default menu. Rolf Ahrenberg told me, that this will probably be 'fixed' (it's not a bug!) with the next version of his skin. Description and download: http://people.freenet.de/cwieninger/html/vdr-epg-search__english_.html wget: http://people.freenet.de/cwieninger/vdr-epgsearch-0.9.16.tgz BR, Christian
