Maybe not thr right place to ask for but I do not get the GRAB command working with latest mercurial drivers. I have a Nexus-S FF-card. GRAB works with drivers from kernel 2.6.16.

witch softdevice output depending on hard and soft
by Leo Márquez 14 Jun '06

14 Jun '06

Hi, I'm in the way of set different vdr clients based on softdevice and streamdev-client. Depending on each I have to decide witch softdevice output use. For example, one client is a debian gnome desktop machine with a pci express radeon X700. The output of : xdpyinfo |grep Video Returns only XVideo. What is the best way to set that I want? I have tried to set the xv option but when I start VDR with: -P"softdevice -vo xv:" It says me that softdevice is not compiled with xv support. I … [View More]

[Announce] epgsearch-0.9.17b
by Christian Wieninger 11 Jun '06

11 Jun '06

Hi, here's the next release of epgsearch that already includes some fixes for problems found at vdrportal: 2006-06-05: Version 0.9.17 - dropped support for vdr < 1.3.46 :-( - changed logic in jumping through menus with user-defined times: you can now also access times on next day, if they are less then 20 hours in the future. Thanks to egal@vdrportal and CKone@vdrportal. - epgsearch has now its own timer conflict check which can be customized by setup regarding relevant priorities, … [View More]the time span to check or the relevant conflict duration. There is also a conflict manager in Search/Actions that can be used to resolve conflicts. Many thanks to Mike Constabel for heavy testing ;-) - if there is a timer conflicts notification via OSD, you can now press 'Ok' to go directly to the timer conflicts overview. - if you like to have a separate main menu entry for the timer conflict check use '-P conflictcheckonly' which comes as 'mini'-plugin with epgsearch and simply calls epgsearch's conflict menu. conflictcheckonly has a setup option to display an info about the last conflict check directly in its main menu entry. - setup is now completely restructured and has now something like an 'online' help. - menu 'switch timers' now also displays the channel number - input logic for extended EPG categories changed to allow multiple values. - added script 'timercmds-auxinfo.sh' that displays the aux info (e.g. the search timer responsible for the timer) in VDR's timer menu (requires the timercmd patch), thanks to the author Mike Constabel - user-defined EPG times with empty description get now their associated time as description, suggested by Bafan@vdrportal - new service interface "Epgsearch-conflictmenu-v1.0" to call epgsearch's conflict menu from other plugins. - new service interface "Epgsearch-lastconflictinfo-v1.0" to get an info about the last conflict check result. - epgsearchmenu.conf is not more reloaded with every plugin call, since this is only useful when testing the conf file. To activate the permanent reload again, pass the new start parameter '-r' or '--reloadmenuconf' in your runvdr - thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg for finnish translation update - added HISTORY.DE (german HISTORY) fixes: - loading epgsearchmenu.conf now falls back to menu defaults, if the conf file contains any errors. - fixed handling of '%' in LSTS in SVDRP for vdr > 1.3.44, thanks to Mike Constabel - fixed loading epgsearchmenu.conf for epgsearchonly and service interface "Epgsearch-searchmenu-v1.0", thanks to Daniel Dorau for reporting. - fixed display update in menu 'Search templates', thanks to Mike Constabel - fixed a bug when deleting associated timers of a search timer when there are no timers present, thanks to Patrick Koppen for reporting. - hopefully fixed a bug when adding a search entry to templates, thanks to Patrick Koppen for reporting. 2006-06-06: Version 0.9.17a fixes: - menu 'timer conflicts' automatically returned if there where periodic timers, thanks to lostinspc@vdrportal - fixed some compiling problems with gcc-2.95 and gcc-4.1.0, thanks to ferdi03@vdrportal, smudo81@vdrportal, toxic-tonic@vdrportal 2006-06-10: Version 0.9.17b fixes: - fixed some problems with repeating timers in timer conflict check, thanks to Peter Juenger for reporting - fixed a crash in timer conflict check when there was an active recording on a device provided by a plugin (e.g. pvr, streamdev), thanks to Gerhard Steiner for reporting. http://people.freenet.de/cwieninger/html/vdr-epg-search__english_.html wget: http://people.freenet.de/cwieninger/vdr-epgsearch-0.9.17b.tgz BR, Christian [View Less]

[ANNOUNCE] vdr-mailbox-0.4.0
by Alexander Rieger 11 Jun '06

11 Jun '06

Hi all, a new release (0.4.0) of the Mailbox-plugin is available at <http://sites.inka.de/~seca/vdr/> Changes since version 0.3.0: 2006-05-20: Version 0.4.0-pre1 - Developed and tested with vdr-1.4.0 with Gentoo-Linux/gcc-3.4.6 - Adopted changes to the Makefile as required since vdr-1.3.47 - Added a service-call "MailBox-HasNewMail-1.0" to allow other plugins to query if there is at least one new mail present. This call doesn't query the mail accounts at the mail server, … [View More]instead it simply returns the currently known status for those accounts which have enabled the periodic check. There will be a patch for the Elchi-skin to use this call to (optionally) display a mail icon in the replay and channel info. - Added a new configuration option to the common settings to setup the connection timeout. A value of 0 uses the system default. A reasonable value would be somewhat smaller than the watchdog timeout of vdr (option -w when starting vdr). The default setting is 0. - Added new configuration option for every mail account to display an OSD message when unread mail is present. Pressing OK while the message is visible opens the mail account. It isn't necessary any more to use the external mailcmd.sh to simply display the "new mail in ..." message on the OSD. The feature of the external mailcmd.sh is still available and may be used for other ways to signal the arrival of new mail, e.g. switching on some LEDs. - Added new configuration option for every mail account to display the number of unseen mails in the main-menu entry of the plugin. - If necessary the plugin converts the mail (subject & body) using iconv from the charset used in the mail to the charset used by vdr. - Mail parts encoded in Base64 are decoded and displayed. - The Plugin now queries the width and font of the text area to make a nice word-wrapping (especially when wrapping quoted text). To use this feature, the skin has to implement the methods cSkin::GetTextAreaWidth() and cSkin::GetTextAreaFont() as the standard-skins Classic & ST:TNG and the Elchi-skin currently do. - The mail account passwords are now stored in an obscured way in the file accounts.conf. Note: There is is no real encryption; it is just to make the passwords difficult to read for humans. The warning from the README is still valid: ATTENTION: The account settings are stored in a plain text file in a directory 'plugins/mailbox' below the directory where vdr stores its setup files. The file will be created with umask 0x600, therefore only the user which executes vdr is able to read this file. If you consider this insecure, don't use this plugin. - Added a key in the Mailbox-View to refresh a single mailbox. - Added a new OSD-menu to display the communication log for accounts which have debugging enabled. The log is reachable in the following views: - Mailbox-View - Configuration of a mail account - IMAP folder selection view - Corrected a bug which caused that sometimes the last lines of mails were missing. - The background check for new mail is now stopped in the cPlugin::Stop() method of the plugin (according to the HISTORY of vdr-1.3.20) - Added a help-screen to all OSD-menus which displays a generated list of valid keys/actions. The help-screen is (currently) reachable with key 0 (if no element is active, which consumes the key 0). - Actions that aren't supported for the current account type aren't visible (e.g. setting the flag "/FLAGGED" or "/SEEN" for POP3 accounts) - Key-handling in the configuration menus is now similar to editing channels in vdr - Changed the configuration menus for mail accounts - several separate options instead of the long mailbox-string - accounts can now be duplicated - accounts can be tested directly within the configuration dialog - reordering of mail accounts is now possible - Completely restructured the OSD- and key-handling in all OSD menus. - Corrected a bug when fetching multipart mails. - More characters are usable for user name, password and account name. (Thanks to Peter Herold for reporting this one.) - Use proportial font to display the mail text instead of monospaced (DisplayMenu()->SetText(..., false)) - When started the Mailbox-View calls Display() before all mail accounts are checked - otherwise the status-message ("Checking mailbox xxx") is displayed below the main menu of vdr. (Thanks to Olaf Henkel for reporting this one.) 2006-06-05: Version 0.4.0-pre2 - Update the color buttons when selecting another mail according to the status flags. - Avoid some warnings about missing translations for the keys 0..9 in the help screen. - The setting of vdr 'OSDMessageTime' is now used as the time to display the osd message "new mail in ..., open?". (Suggested by Ronny Kornexl) - Fixed some issues with gcc 3.2 (Thanks to Stephan Sachse for providing the patch) 2006-06-10: Version 0.4.0-pre3 - Added a remark about the required version of the c-client-library to the INSTALL file: Version 2004 of the c-client library is required. The plugin was developed with version 2004a of the library (contained in imap-2004a.tar.Z). The current version 2004g may work too, but was not tested by the author. - Added option to mail account settings to specify if new mails in the mail account should influence the state delivered by the internal service call which could be used e.g. to display a mail icon in replay and channel info. - Allow ':' in the hostname of mail accounts. - Added '-fPIC' to CXXFLAGS in Makefile (Suggested by Thomas Günther) - Fixed a bug which was introduced in pre2 which caused the background thread to display the message "New mail in XXX, open?" after every check. (Reported by Thomas Günther) 2006-06-11: Version 0.4.0 - no changes since pre3 Have fun, Alex [View Less]

Hotbird in sources.conf
by Antti Hartikainen 11 Jun '06

11 Jun '06

Shouldn't Hotbird be something like "Hotbird 1-3/6/7A" in sources.conf now, since Hotbird 4 is gone from this position?
