[patch] VDRAdmin-AM-3.4.6 utf8 automatically generated
by Lucian Muresan 16 Jul '06

16 Jul '06

Hello, I've done an updated patch for UTF-8 support in VDRAdmin-AM. The "make.sh" script now can generate utf8-versions of all existing locales, just issue "make.sh utf8add", and then compile all locales with "make.sh po". Then, you can configure a utf8-locale if it's supported on your system. Have phun, Lucian P.S. The other patch is for the current gentoo ebuild, for those gentoo-ers who can't wait until hd_brummy provides a new one.

PID filter issue with Wideview DVB-T USB
by Matthias Thomae 16 Jul '06

16 Jul '06

VDR experts (Klaus), I'm experiencing similar problems as e.g. reported in [1] with a Wideview-based DVB-T USB stick (Prolink Pixelview PlayTV 505 DVB-T) and VDR. While the adapter works well with kaffeine, VDR reports a "can't open filter handle" error when switching channels *within* a bouquet. On the other hand, tuning to a channel on a *different* bouquet works (see below). This was tested with a vanilla 2.6.17.4 kernel and VDR 1.4.1-1ctvdr2 from e-tobi. As I understand from [2], the problem is related to the hardware PID filter of the adapter, which can't be disabled. Is it possible to find a fix or workaround for VDR so that it works with this type of adapter? I'd be glad if someone with a deeper understanding of VDR could shed some light on this issue, and I'd be happy to run any tests. Regards. Matthias [1] http://www.linuxtv.org/pipermail/linux-dvb/2006-June/010655.html [2] http://www.linuxtv.org/pipermail/linux-dvb/2006-June/010682.html Jul 16 13:01:56 tyron vdr: [6188] switching to channel 5 Jul 16 13:01:56 tyron vdr: [6922] transfer thread ended (pid=6922, tid=6922) Jul 16 13:01:56 tyron vdr: [6924] TS buffer on device 1 thread ended (pid=6924, tid=6924) Jul 16 13:01:56 tyron vdr: [6923] buffer stats: 41172 (1%) used Jul 16 13:01:56 tyron vdr: [6923] receiver on device 1 thread ended (pid=6923, tid=6923) Jul 16 13:01:56 tyron vdr: [6188] cTS2PES got 1 TS errors, 1 TS continuity errors Jul 16 13:01:56 tyron vdr: [6188] buffer stats: 41548 (1%) used Jul 16 13:01:56 tyron vdr: [6927] transfer thread started (pid=6927, tid=6927) Jul 16 13:01:56 tyron vdr: [6928] receiver on device 1 thread started (pid=6928, tid=6928) Jul 16 13:01:56 tyron vdr: [6929] TS buffer on device 1 thread started (pid=6929, tid=6929) Jul 16 13:01:57 tyron vdr: [6927] setting audio track to 1 (0) Jul 16 13:02:05 tyron vdr: [6188] switching to channel 4 Jul 16 13:02:05 tyron vdr: [6927] transfer thread ended (pid=6927, tid=6927) Jul 16 13:02:05 tyron vdr: [6929] TS buffer on device 1 thread ended (pid=6929, tid=6929) Jul 16 13:02:05 tyron vdr: [6928] buffer stats: 61100 (2%) used Jul 16 13:02:05 tyron vdr: [6928] receiver on device 1 thread ended (pid=6928, tid=6928) Jul 16 13:02:05 tyron vdr: [6188] buffer stats: 79712 (3%) used Jul 16 13:02:05 tyron vdr: [6933] transfer thread started (pid=6933, tid=6933) Jul 16 13:02:05 tyron vdr: [6934] receiver on device 1 thread started (pid=6934, tid=6934) Jul 16 13:02:05 tyron vdr: [6935] TS buffer on device 1 thread started (pid=6935, tid=6935) Jul 16 13:02:06 tyron vdr: [6933] setting audio track to 1 (0) Jul 16 13:02:11 tyron vdr: [6188] switching to channel 3 Jul 16 13:02:11 tyron vdr: [6933] transfer thread ended (pid=6933, tid=6933) Jul 16 13:02:11 tyron vdr: [6935] TS buffer on device 1 thread ended (pid=6935, tid=6935) Jul 16 13:02:11 tyron vdr: [6934] buffer stats: 44556 (2%) used Jul 16 13:02:11 tyron vdr: [6934] receiver on device 1 thread ended (pid=6934, tid=6934) Jul 16 13:02:11 tyron vdr: [6188] buffer stats: 44932 (2%) used Jul 16 13:02:11 tyron vdr: [6188] ERROR: can't open filter handle on '/dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0' Jul 16 13:02:11 tyron vdr: [6188] ERROR: /dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0: Too many open files Jul 16 13:02:11 tyron vdr: [6188] ERROR (dvbdevice.c,690): Too many open files Jul 16 13:02:11 tyron vdr: [6188] ERROR: can't set PID 49 on device 1 Jul 16 13:02:11 tyron vdr: [6188] ERROR (dvbdevice.c,705): Bad file descriptor Jul 16 13:02:11 tyron vdr: [6938] transfer thread started (pid=6938, tid=6938)

Re: Re: Re: softdevice & nvidia overlay issues (Stefan Lucke)
by CR 16 Jul '06

16 Jul '06

Hi Stefan, I tried several of your suggestions with little luck. You can see the results here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/16371732@N00 The pictures: "softdevice_wrongoverlay1_software", and "softdevice_wrongoverlay_software" show the OSD problem with software mode rendering, no changes to any softdevice sourcefiles. The main problem is the OSD (in software mode) has banding across it, as if every 4 or 5 lines are not drawn. This occurs no matter what the color space setting is or swapping the U & V components. Using xineliboutput the OSD appears without banding, as can be seen in the second picture with the DVD progress bar. Using the "hardware" setting the OSD appears correctly but "blinks" momentarily when there is video (it is not visible when video is playing). I have experienced this problem with a TNT2 as well using the X.org "nv" driver. > > Stefan Lucke wrote: > > A) If you get wrong colors (that should be both: video and osd with and without > video) you could try to change FOURCC_YV12 to FOURCC_I420 in file > softdevice.c (2 times).

Do you have any other suggestions? Thank you, CR.

rotor plugin and USALs
by Timothy D. Lenz 16 Jul '06

16 Jul '06

Does the Rotor plugin support USALS? I read somewere that it did but so far I can't get it to go to a sat location. I tried entering my lat/lon in the setup.conf. I noticed that then in the on screen setup (which you can't change) it devides the numbers provided by 10, ie lat 32.2127 becomes 3.2 and lon 10.8829 becomes 11.0. I tried pre-multiplying by 10 which didnt work. It did move once by selecting a sat location and pressing the green button for goto when I told it not to use the diesqc.conf, but it seemed to go to the wrong location. Also, I need to be able to use the diesqc.conf because I am using an Invacom Quad with CP/LP LNBF and I need to be able to tell it which to use. In trying to just get the sat moved to set angles, I tried a command line rotor program on the DVBN forums, but it is very hit and miss that it even responds. Seems to be more likly if I run nscan first set to use a stacked lnb. I think maybe the program dosn't properly turn of the 22khz tone for the required time before sending the commands. When it does move, it always seems off. Dosn't seem to use my lat/lon correctly. There is a option to send to 0 and I can replace that string with data that will send it West of South 0. So I was able to align the dish by sending it to sat 119 which is 9 degrees west for me, But I can't seem to work out the data bytes to make it go east of south 0. I have the pdf on the commands, but nothing I tried worked.

VDRAdmin-AM-3.4.6 en_US.utf8 locale patch
by Lucian Muresan 15 Jul '06

15 Jul '06

Hello, for those interested in displaying EPG content in UTF-8, but don't care about a localization of VDRAdmin, you might be interested in this patch. It will add a script which will generate an en_US.utf8 locale PO-file right from the POT file (will thus always be up to date), and also add "en_US.utf8" to the LANG variable in the make.sh and install.sh scripts. All you have to do after generating the "new" locale is to run "make.sh po" before installing, that way the new locale will also be compiled (assumes gettext installed on the system, which shouldn't be a problem). Then you can configure the en_US.utf8 locale at least from VDRAdmin's Configuration page, if you don't want to set it globally for your system. If you want to use a similar technique for a localized VDRAdmin-AM, you can convert the respective PO-file to UTF-8, let the "ISO-8859-1" msgid (one of the first messages) map to "UTF-8" and add the new locale to the build system. Have phun, Lucian P.S. The other patch is for the current gentoo ebuild, for those gentoo-ers who can't wait until hd_brummy provides a new one.

dvd-plugin libdvdread working, now fails????
by Simon Baxter 14 Jul '06

14 Jul '06

Hi. I've been using the DVD plugin for ages, but yesterday after installing VLC and VLC-DEVEL from livna (and all associated dependencies) it now fails. I don't know if the VLC install is related to this problem with libdvdread, but it was the only change I made. When I try and play an encrypted DVD now, I get: libdvdread: Using libdvdcss version 1.2.9 for DVD access libdvdread: Attempting to retrieve all CSS keys libdvdread: This can take a _long_ time, please be patient libdvdread: Get key for /VIDEO_TS/VIDEO_TS.VOB at 0x0000012f libdvdread: Elapsed time 0 libdvdread: Get key for /VIDEO_TS/VTS_01_0.VOB at 0x00002701 libdvdread: Error cracking CSS key for /VIDEO_TS/VTS_01_0.VOB (0x00002701) libdvdread: Elapsed time 0 libdvdread: Get key for /VIDEO_TS/VTS_01_1.VOB at 0x00002706 libdvdread: Error cracking CSS key for /VIDEO_TS/VTS_01_1.VOB (0x00002706)!! libdvdread: Elapsed time 0 libdvdread: Get key for /VIDEO_TS/VTS_02_0.VOB at 0x0000271d libdvdread: Elapsed time 0 libdvdread: Get key for /VIDEO_TS/VTS_02_1.VOB at 0x00002722 libdvdread: Elapsed time 0 libdvdread: Get key for /VIDEO_TS/VTS_03_0.VOB at 0x0001658d libdvdread: Elapsed time 0 libdvdread: Get key for /VIDEO_TS/VTS_03_1.VOB at 0x00016bf1 libdvdread: Elapsed time 0 libdvdread: Get key for /VIDEO_TS/VTS_04_0.VOB at 0x0039564f libdvdread: Elapsed time 0 libdvdread: Get key for /VIDEO_TS/VTS_04_1.VOB at 0x00395654 libdvdread: Elapsed time 0 libdvdread: Found 4 VTS's libdvdread: Elapsed time 0 terminate called without an active exception libdvdnav: Using dvdnav version 0.1.10 from http://dvd.sf.net libdvdnav: DVD Title: BBCDVD1733 libdvdnav: DVD Serial Number: 32ed6273 libdvdnav: DVD Title (Alternative): libdvdnav: Unable to find map file '/home/vdruser/.dvdnav/BBCDVD1733.map' libdvdnav: DVD disk reports itself with Region mask 0x00f50000.

Channel change slow
by Görkem Çetin 14 Jul '06

14 Jul '06

Hi I've tried Mythtv for my home system, but found the channel change speed unbearable (i.e around 5 seconds). A look at Mythtv archives show me that people also suffer from the same problems. So I switched to VDR, and now channel change speed is around 7-10 seconds. But on the mailing list, I cannot see anyone complaining about it. Probably I'm doing something wrong, but could'nt figure out. Hardware/software: - Skystar 2 (budget card) - AMD XP 3000, 1 GB RAM - Mandriva with 2.6.16 kernel Best Görkem
