Ok, I'm almost ready to give up on this :) I have a Hauppuage WinTV-Go-PVR card. ivtv-detect gives the following: driver: bttv-0.9.16 card: BT878 video (Hauppauge (bt878)), bus info PCI:0000:02:09.0 /dev/v4l/vbi0: VBI encoding (links: /dev/vbi, /dev/vbi0) /dev/v4l/video0: YUV encoding (links: /dev/video0) But when I start VDR with -Ppvrinput I get: pvrinput: 17:51:40 no PVR device found My channels.conf has: TVONT:55250:I0:C:0:301:300:305:A1:1:0:0:0 Global:61250:I0:C:0:301:300:305:A1:1:0:0:0 Any suggestions on what I can do?

xineliboutput -- improvement
by Alexw 09 May '06

09 May '06

Hi, I discovered that the xineliboutput does not change the primarydevice automatically when a client connect to it. Is it possible to add the same functionality as in xine plugin? Does a patch already exist? Another `annoying` thing is that the cursor keys are not processed by the vdr-[sx]fe application. I did not dig into this at the time, hope that is only a key code issue. The OSD color in xxmc are not handled properly and the osd is not even shown in xvmc mode. I am using the latest nvidia driver with a GF6600. Does anyone have the same problem? X11 mode works fine. Regards, Alex

Diseqc Configuration
by Aegyssus 08 May '06

08 May '06

Hi, I'm trying to get the FTA channels from IA7 satellite using VDR, a diseqc 1.2 and an invacom qph-031 lnb. This satellite has the same position (129°W) as EchoStar 5 but different polarization (IA7 is linear while Echo5 is circular). Both satellites are configured in diseqc.conf but I cannot lock on IA7's transponders. So, this is the current configuration: #IA7 S129.0W 11700 V 10750 t v W15 [E0 10 38 F0] S129.0W 99999 V 10750 t v W15 [E0 10 38 F1] S129.0W 11700 H 10750 t V W15 [E0 10 38 F2] S129.0W 99999 H 10750 t V W15 [E0 10 38 F3] #EchoStar 5 S129.0W 11700 V 9750 t v W15 [E0 10 38 F4] S129.0W 99999 H 11250 t V W15 [E0 10 38 F5] S129.0W 99999 V 11250 t v W15 [E0 10 38 F6] S129.0W 11700 H 9750 t V W15 [E0 10 38 F7] What' wrong? How do I have to set the diseqc in order to be able to get signal from both satellites? Thanks, aegyssus

xineliboutput + network (fixed!)
by CR 08 May '06

08 May '06

Hi all, For an update I fixed my xineliboutput network issues -- I had a small mistake in the svdrphosts.conf (which xineliboutput uses for allowing network access). My initial tests are quite good, and according to the author, channel changing time is same over network as is using locally. I did not quite have this experience with vdr-xine+network patches (no offense to Mr. Reinhard Nissl). I am still troubleshooting that problem... For the curious, xineliboutput does not require patching of either xine-lib or VDR! It also includes standalone front-end programs that depend on only xine-lib (and Xv / directfb) which means Xine-UI is not needed either. Since the topic of networked xine recently came up, I hope this info is of some use. CR.

OSD info on Radio channels
by Istvan Fuley 08 May '06

08 May '06

Hello, Motto: Maybe this has been discussed before, I did not find it. I'm wondering if it would be possible (maybe as an option in Setup/OSD menu) that the OSD info bar stays on screen, if the actual channel has no VPID (meaning it's a radio channel). This would be usefull, if someone (like me:) ) listening to radio, and the tv (or other display) is turned on. I know about radio plugin, but very few radio stations broadcasts RDS data, and in other cases the OSD info would be enough. Thanks, ----------------------------------------------- Füley István

JumpFwd and JumpRew Buttons?
by Dave 08 May '06

08 May '06

Hi all, I have been using VDR since 1.3.32 and since then the remote keys JumpFwd and JumpRew were always present in VDR as found on the Nexus 2.3 remote, I migrated to 1.4.0 from 1.3.45 and noticed they are gone! Were they removed from VDR or was another patch supplying them and I did not apply such a patch this time? Is there a patch available to bring these keys back? Thanks for any information. Dave

Problem with Xine-Network
by Mlists 07 May '06

07 May '06

I downloaded vdr-xine-0.7.9 and installed it with no problem. I first ran it without the xine-network patch and it worked fine. After applying the patch, it doesn't create the tmp files and I cannot connect to it. I'm using vdr-1.4.0. . I compiled xine-lib and xine-ui over again and re-downloaded everything but nothing. When I start VDR all I get is: ./vdr -Pxine -Ptext2skin -Pyaepg ------------------------- MakePrimaryDevice: 1 ========================= SetVideoFormat: 0 frame: (0, 0)-(-1, -1), zoom: (1.00, 1.00) SetVolumeDevice: 250 Nothing else --- can I increase debuggging to help figure out what's going on?

"Pausing Live Video" Creates Entry in Recondings list/timer
by Dave 07 May '06

07 May '06

When striking the "pause" key during live video, of course the video gets paused, and an entry starting with "@" is added to the recordings list, as well as a timer, and I'm sure this is normal behaviour. My question is, is it possible to have no entry appear in the recordings/timers list during a strike of the pause key? I find that if Im watching TV for a day, and make several pauses during the day (phone rings, etc), that at the end of the day I have to remove all those instant recordings from the list. My thinking is that an instant recording should appear in the recordings list when the "record" key is pressed. Is this been addressed before ? Or am I just missing something? I know of the Livebuffer patch and have used it for a long time but would like to get away from this patch, as I find it unstable sometimes. Thanks! Dave
