[ANNOUNCE] New plugin svdrpservice-0.0.1
by Frank Schmirler 06 Jun '06

06 Jun '06

This plugin is required by the remoteosd plugin. That's all you need to know about it unless you are a plugin developer. For developers: This plugin offers svdrp connections as service to other plugins. So if you want to develop a plugin which needs to talk to a remote SVDRP server, you might want to take a look at. The plugin offers two services: One to obtain a connection and the other to send commands. The reply is returned as a list of lines. Multiple plugins can share the same SVDRP … [View More]

[ANNOUNCE] New plugins: remoteosd and svdrpext
by Frank Schmirler 06 Jun '06

06 Jun '06

I like to introduce a set of new plugins, especially useful for those running VDR in a client/server environment. With remoteosd the menu of a remote VDR becomes available as submenu of your local VDR menu. So you can e.g. edit timers or execute commands on the server. On the one hand this is more powerful than what has been offered by older versions of the streamdev plugin. However there are a few drawbacks: - as every key stroke has to be processed on the server, it is quite slow - the OSD … [View More]

TV-out, softdevice
by Johan Linder 05 Jun '06

05 Jun '06

Hi! I've been trying for a while now to get the TV-out working smoothly. It feels like the TV-out is "computerized", like it's only 20fps or something. I've been searching the net for answers but haven't found any helping tips. Is it possible to get a smooth TV-out, or should I accept some studdering?

CinergyT2 "frontend timed out" when switching to ARD
by Matthias Thomae 04 Jun '06

04 Jun '06

Hello, I've been trying to get my Cinergy T2 USB box working properly with VDR, but I get the "frontend timed out" error message sometimes when switching to ARD (or another channel in the same bouquet), and the screen remains blank (error message below). The 'sometimes' varies from 2 to maybe 20 times. After the error occurs, I can still view other channels, but none in the ARD bouquet. Restarting VDR doesn't help, neither unloading/loading the cinergyT2 kernel module. After unplugging … [View More]

[ANNOUNCE] VDR maintenance patch 1.4.0-3
by Klaus Schmidinger 04 Jun '06

04 Jun '06

VDR maintenance patch 1.4.0-3 is now available at ftp://ftp.cadsoft.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-1.4.0-3.diff This is a 'diff' against the official version 1.4.0 plus all previous 1.4.0-X maintenance patches (which means that you need to first apply any previously released patches before you can apply this one). Small fixes to the officially released VDR versions will be first made available as "maintenance patches" in the Developer directory, so that they can be reviewed and tested before a … [View More]new official release is published. So please apply the patches ftp://ftp.cadsoft.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-1.4.0-1.diff ftp://ftp.cadsoft.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-1.4.0-2.diff ftp://ftp.cadsoft.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-1.4.0-3.diff in the given sequence to the original VDR version 1.4.0 and report whether it works (or if it causes any new problems). If no bugs are reported, I'll release this as version 1.4.1 next weekend. The changes since version 1.4.0-2: - Fixed the PremiereContentTransmissionDescriptor in 'libsi' (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt). - Removed all the compatibility '#if APIVERSNUM...' stuff and instead increased the API version number - plugins will have to be recompiled. - Removed the call to pthread_setschedparam(childTid, SCHED_RR, 0) in thread.c, because it caused a compiler warning with g++ 4.1.1 (reported by Ville Skyttä). Since the third parameter has to be non-null to have any effect, the call was presumably a NOP, anyway. - Fixed the 'clean-plugins' target in the Makefile to also remove additional plugin libraries (thanks to Wayne Keer). - Applied the fixes to moving and deleting channels from version 1.4.0-2 to the SVDRP commands MOVC and DELC as well. - Fixed handling the display of the '*' indicator in the "What's on now/next?" menu, so that events that haven't been "seen" in the data stream within 30 seconds won't be shown as "running". - Fixed handling tabbed item display in 'skincurses'. - Increased the column spacing in the "Recordings" menu (was too small for the 'skincurses' plugin). - When the 'skincurses' plugin is loaded, it automatically sets the 'curses' skin as the current one. This doesn't modify the Setup.OSDSkin parameter, so that after using 'skincurses' (for instance for debugging) the previously selected skin will be used again. - Added some log messages when setting the current skin. - Only making a second attempt to set the current skin at startup if the first attempt has failed. - Now switching to non-VPS timers' channels 60 seconds before the timer starts (if a free device is available), to allow for the updating of EPG data and CA descriptors before the actual recording starts. Have fun! Klaus [View Less]
