DVD plugin - sound jerky??
by Simon Baxter 31 Jan '07

31 Jan '07

I've had this problem for ages and never found any resolution to it as it's really only a problem with DVDs that have a lot of chapters. When it get towards the end of a chapter, the sound disappears. The video is still fine, but the sound stops. Are there any debugs I can run to get more info out of dvd-plugin?

The only solution which works reliable is to disallow shutdown when a recording is active. Bye Helmut

Hi Klaus I read yesterday a part of your answer mail to a question of vdr user: > In VDR version 1.4 the CA_PMT records (that's the data a CAM needs in > order to know which PIDs it shall decrypt) are sent to all CAMs in > one CI device. I know that this can be a problem, and that's why I'm > going to address this first thing in the upcoming 1.5 developer > version. I like to know if you have create a to-do-list for new developper release... thanks for your work on vdr bye kikko77

LCDproc plugin 0.1.0 with VDR 1.4.1-1
by Christian Kruft 05 Sep '06

05 Sep '06

Hey, does anybody have a patch to make the lcdproc 0.1.0 plugin work with VDR 1.4.1-1 ? I've tried one from January but this patch doesn't help. While starting VDR I got this errors: Close Called Not Connected !!! After that, VDR shuts down. LCDproc is working fine, only this plugin won't work. Greetings, Christian

Recording priority question
by Jukka Palko 05 Sep '06

05 Sep '06

I am curious on the recording priorities and especially what is the way vdr decides which card to use to record at a given time. My system is now setup this way: Card #1: Technotrend C2100 rev2.1 Card #2: Hauppauge Nexus-CA Card #3: Technotrend C2100 rev2.1 -card #3 has the CI attached to it and a Conax CAM I have setup the card #3 to be my viewing card. So does vdr select the card which to use for recording by starting from card #1 and then if card #1 is busy, then card #2, etc? And if card #2 is recording and card #1 and #3 are not, then card #1 is used? Or is the card chosen in such a way that if one card is already tuned to the frequency then that card is used for recording that channel? The reason I am asking this is that I wish to keep my card #3 free for viewing those encrypted channels and still be able to easily choose recording on those encrypted channels. I noticed there is the priority setting, which for recording I currently have set to 50 and the primary card usage is allowed for only higher priorities than 55. This would be one way to keep my card free, but then if I want to record on encrypted channels, I need to set the recording priority to higher than 55? Not exactly easy for other members of my family. They can be taught to do it so, but wish there was an easier solution. ;) In certain ways I was whondering if there could have been a way to set those encrypted channels to have a higher priority than 55 on recording them so that recording would just happen. I'm basing my question on the understanding that vdr can only tune into encrypted channels using the card that has the CAM attached to. Is this valid still? -Jukka -- Jukka Palko jpalko(a)gmail.com

Which locale variables influence VDR?
by Sebastian Kemper 01 Sep '06

01 Sep '06

Hi all, there's an open bug report for the Gentoo VDR ebuilds regarding locale vars: http://bugs.gentoo.de/view.php?id=445 Up till now everything gets set to POSIX and afterwards LC_COLLATE gets set to whatever the user requests in the init script's config file. My suggestion was to make LANG accessible in the config file as well, because both are mentioned in the VDR docs. Is there any final wisdom on which locale vars influence VDR? Regards Sebastian

Burn plugin permissions problem
by Stuart Morris 01 Sep '06

01 Sep '06

I can create DVD ISO files using vdr-burn-0.1.0-pre20 ok but only if vdr is run as root. If I run vdr without root privelage DVD ISO creation fails at the start. My /tmp folder and ISO destination folder have the appropriate access rights. The burn shell scripts are marked executable and can be read by others. Any one know what is wrong here? Here is the dvd.log file [render] sh: /usr/local/bin/vdrburn-dvd.sh: Permission denied [render] sh: /usr/local/bin/vdrburn-dvd.sh: Permission denied [demux] sh: /usr/local/bin/vdrburn-dvd.sh: Permission denied --------------------------------- Try the all-new Yahoo!
