Re: VDR prefers my CI DVB device for recordings and blocks it unnecessarily
by Martin Dauskardt 26 Aug '06

26 Aug '06

I upgraded to 1.4.1-4, which seems to include the patch from Anssi (http://linuxtv.org/pipermail/vdr/2006-August/010360.html ) I am not happy with this patch: My machine has a FF-card and Budget-Card+CAM. There was no timer for any encrypted channel programmed. All active timers were set for ARD. I had absolutely no plans to watch Premiere, I was not even at home :-) But all recordings were done with the FF card. vdr started with the ARD channel, and the well known performance problem … [View More]

anyone using Technotrend Premium S2300 (Rev 2.3) "modded"
by Simon Baxter 26 Aug '06

26 Aug '06

Hi. I'm looking at getting the following from dvbshop.net Technotrend Remotecontrol SET Technotrend Technotrend "Dual Tuner" Package (Technotrend Premium S2300 (Rev 2.3) "modded") RGB/S-Video J2 Extension for Technotrend Premium (for component/RGB-out) Has anyone got any advice on getting this working with VDR? I've been using VDR with budget cards for a few years with vdr-xine. This will be my first FF with an MPEG decoder - any problems/advice on the quality of the RGB-out?

Problem with mplayer plugin
by Jean-Claude Repetto 25 Aug '06

25 Aug '06

Hi, I am using VDR-1.4.1-1 with mplayer-plugin 0.9.15pre10. The primary card is a FF card (Hauppauge Rev 1.3). The CPU is an Athlon 2000+, with 512Mb of RAM. I can read most video files, but some don't work.The screen stays black during a few seconds, then the live TV program is displayed again. I have enabled the DEBUG option of the plugin, and here is the log : Aug 22 09:03:17 vdr logger: *** Starting mplayer.sh Version 0.8.6 Aug 22 09:03:17 vdr logger: *** DEBUG: Variable CFGFIL has … [View More]value "/etc/vdr/plugins/mplayer/mplayer.sh.conf" Aug 22 09:03:17 vdr logger: *** DEBUG: Variable USEAC3 has value "false" Aug 22 09:03:17 vdr logger: *** DEBUG: Variable AC3AOUT has value "-ao alsa9 -ac hwac3" Aug 22 09:03:17 vdr logger: *** DEBUG: Variable TV_ASPECT has value "16/9" Aug 22 09:03:17 vdr logger: *** DEBUG: Variable PAL has value "true" Aug 22 09:03:17 vdr logger: *** DEBUG: Variable NTSC has value "true" Aug 22 09:03:17 vdr logger: *** DEBUG: Variable USE_SPEED has value "true" Aug 22 09:03:17 vdr logger: *** DEBUG: Variable DETC_FILTER has value "detc=dr=2:am=1" Aug 22 09:03:17 vdr logger: *** DEBUG: Variable MPLAYER has value "/usr/bin/mplayer" Aug 22 09:03:17 vdr logger: *** DEBUG: Variable VOP has value "lavc=5000" Aug 22 09:03:17 vdr logger: *** DEBUG: Variable VO has value "mpegpes" Aug 22 09:03:17 vdr logger: *** DEBUG: Variable AO has value "mpegpes" Aug 22 09:03:17 vdr logger: *** DEBUG: Variable CACHE has value "4096" Aug 22 09:03:17 vdr logger: *** DEBUG: Variable CACHESTR has value "-cache 4096" Aug 22 09:03:17 vdr logger: *** DEBUG: Variable FRAMEDROP has value "true" Aug 22 09:03:17 vdr logger: *** DEBUG: Variable FDSTR has value "-framedrop" Aug 22 09:03:17 vdr logger: *** DEBUG: Variable LIRCRC has value "/etc/lircd.conf" Aug 22 09:03:17 vdr logger: *** DEBUG: Variable LIRCSTR has value "-lircconf /etc/lircd.conf" Aug 22 09:03:17 vdr logger: *** DEBUG: Variable SUBTITLE has value " -subpos 80 -sub-bg-color 0 -sub-bg-alpha 30" Aug 22 09:03:17 vdr logger: *** DEBUG: Variable REMOTE has value "-slave -nolirc" Aug 22 09:03:17 vdr logger: *** DEBUG: Variable AUDIO has value "" Aug 22 09:03:17 vdr logger: *** Use Option USERDEF at your own risk!

1.3.43: sourcecaps: tuning one device causes all devices to tune their channels
by Jeremy Hall 24 Aug '06

24 Aug '06

Hello, I know Klaus won't respond to this, but perhaps somebody else that runs with sourcecaps will be able to confirm that if you have a channel tuned on one device and switch another device both devices must resync the scenario: device 1 is a budget card, device 2 is a ff card. When I want to watch a channel tunable only on the budget, transfer thread is started and I'm using the dvr device. If I start a streamdev or something to keep the channel up, then … [View More]

VPS timer set to event
by Dirk 20 Aug '06

20 Aug '06

Hello, what does a line like this mean? Aug 20 20:01:23 martini vdr: [29347] timer 7 (6 2250-0020 VPS '00new~Law & Order - Die heimliche Geliebte') set to event Die 22.08.2006 23:10-00:00 'Law & Order' FYI: Timer 7 is a VPS timer. But its start time (22:50) is NOT exactly the start time of the program (23:10). Does this line tell me that VDR has detected that timer 7 wants to record the event starting at 23:10? And it will correctly start and end triggered by the VPS events? This … [View More]
