Leider kann ich noch keinen Patch anbieten, es ist aber für Codekenner eine kleine Sache. Falls beim Ansehen einer Aufnahme versehentlich der Button RED gedrückt wurde aber keine Zeitangabe angegeben wurde, sollte beim Drücken von OK nichts passieren anstatt zum Anfang der Aufnahme zu springen.

vdr-xineliboutput no sound
by syrius.ml＠no-log.org 10 Jul '06

10 Jul '06

Hi, Regularly when i zap between channels it happens there's no sound. In that case I have to stop xine (in this situation it doesn't quit instantaneously) then run it again. It's also 100% reproducible doing this: - record eastenders on bbc1 - replay it. it doesn't have sound - try to quit xine, it lags quitting - restart xine, sound is there I'm using vdr 1.4.1, xineliboutput 0.99rc5 (tcp connection) xine-lib-cvs-20060319194500 and xine-ui 0.99.3 --

Re: [vdr] Audio out of sync after change of scene in recording

Hmmm - this seems to only affect recordings though and not live TV? My TV, DVB-T set top box etc all don't suffer from this problem and can resync audio/video so surely it cannot be that difficult to address? It is a requirement of all DVB devices.. Cheers, morf

mhp
by Leo Márquez 10 Jul '06

10 Jul '06

Hi, I'm trying to set my vdr interactive. First question is why are two plugins for the same purpose? mhp openmhp I have chosed mhp. Is the right option? The second is that I have tried with mhp but I can't compile the plugin. I get this: dynamicreceiver.c: En constructor " cDynamicReceiver::ActualReceiver::ActualReceiver(cDynamicReceiver*, int, int, std::vector<int, std::allocator<int> >&)": dynamicreceiver.c:136: error: no matching function for call to `cReceiver:: cReceiver(int&, int&, int, int, int, int, int, int, int, int, int, int, int, int, int, int, int, int, int)' ../../../../include/vdr/receiver.h:17: error: candidates are: cReceiver::cReceiver(const cReceiver&) ../../../../include/vdr/receiver.h:41: error: cReceiver::cReceiver(int, int, int, const int*, const int*, const int*) make[2]: *** [dynamicreceiver.o] Error 1 My vdr version is 1.4.0 Any solution to this problem? Thanks Leo

This has been a longterm problem for me for all versions of VDR on a full featured technotrend. Is it a VDR problem or a driver problem? This happens in the UK on a DVB-T recording when interference in the stream is prominent. After the interference causes the video to skip or distort a little then the audio can drift out of sync. > It is easy to fix (skip back and forth by a minute) but it is annoying. > Is there any way to fix this (like continuously monitor the video and > audio sync) in VDR? Yes, this fixes it here too - but is annoying to have to do. I have seen this problem reported before, but no-one seems to want to fix it or even admit there is a problem. IMHO whenever there is a glitch or issue with the video, there should be a mechanism to re-sync the video & audio - or this should just happen regularly (dropping frames etc) I'm hoping one day this problem will be addressed, as it is now really the only serious issue that I see with VDR. Cheers, morfsta

Bugfix: AddSchedule not replacing DummySchedule in channels
by Frank Schmirler 10 Jul '06

10 Jul '06

Hi, since 1.3.39 there's an issue with AddSchedule. If no initial EPG information is available for a channel, it will be associated with a DummySchedule. AddSchedule does not replace it when a schedule becomes available later. A simple fix would be: --- epg.c.orig 2006-07-09 00:05:37.118736336 +0200 +++ epg.c 2006-07-09 00:10:05.370955800 +0200 @@ -1023,6 +1023,9 @@ if (!p) { p = new cSchedule(ChannelID); Add(p); + cChannel *channel = Channels.GetByChannelID(ChannelID); + if (channel) + channel->schedule = p; } return p; } AddSchedule is only used by the schedule Read functions, so only file or SVDRP based EPG imports are affected. Cheers, Frank

Audio out of sync after change of scene in recording
by Pasi Juppo 08 Jul '06

08 Jul '06

Hi, Quite often audio gets out of sync when replaying a recording where scene changes. When this occurs the picture gets fully black for brief moment during the change of the scene. For example in cases where originally there was a commercial break before next scene but the broadcaster had joined scenes together, the audio problem appears. It is easy to fix (skip back and forth by a minute) but it is annoying. Is there any way to fix this (like continuously monitor the video and audio sync) in VDR? Br, Pasi
