[ANNOUNCE] vdr-xine-0.7.10 plugin
by Reinhard Nissl 19 Jan '07

19 Jan '07

Hi, it's been a long time being busy at work and home, so I'm very pleased to announce maintenance release 0.7.10 today: http://home.vr-web.de/~rnissl/vdr-xine-0.7.10.tgz 2006-12-10: Version 0.7.10 - Updated xine patches to current CVS (should be compatible with xine release 1.1.3). - Fixed a segfault in SHQ OSD scaling code due to uninitialized variables (thanks to Gregorie Favre for reporting this issue and testing the fixes). - Added noSignal-smallTextAtBottom.mpg to directory data (thanks to John for supplying the file). - Fixed a segfault in xine when there is no demuxer available (e. g. the SuSE 10.1 xine-lib binary lacks support for MPEG2). - Fixed compiler warnings on x86_64 architectures (thanks to Ville Skyttä for compilation assistance). - Added support to xine for the 3 new keys of VDR-1.3.47. - Updated MANUAL accordingly. For this release I suggest the following xine sources: http://home.vr-web.de/~rnissl/xine-lib-cvs-20061209220000.tar.bz2 http://home.vr-web.de/~rnissl/xine-ui-cvs-20061209220000.tar.bz2 Highly recommended for editing old recordings is the following patch: http://home.vr-web.de/~rnissl/vdr-1.3.44-dvbplayer5.patch http://home.vr-web.de/~rnissl/vdr-1.2.6-dvbplayer5.patch For details about the patch see: http://home.vr-web.de/~rnissl/vdr-patches-README.txt Enjoy. Bye. -- Dipl.-Inform. (FH) Reinhard Nissl mailto:rnissl@gmx.de

[ANNOUNCE] epg2timers 1.4.5.
by Carsten Koch 17 Jan '07

17 Jan '07

epg2timers is a tool that allows you to use the web EPG at http://tvtv.de to program VDR from anywhere in the world simply by clicking on the things you want vdr to record in the http://tvtv.de listings. I have changed the epg2timers version number to match the VDR version number I tested it with. This should make it easy for you to find out what VDR version epg2timers works with. Of course, this does not mean epg2timers cannot work with other vdr versions. Simply try it out. epg2timers version 1.4.5 is now available in Klaus' Tools directory at ftp://ftp.cadsoft.de/pub/people/kls/vdr/Tools/epg2timers-1.4.5.tar.bz2 Changes since epg2timers 1.3.17: 1.3.32 17-Sep-2005 Update channel map. Implement support for multiple satellites. 1.4.5 16-Jan-2007 Update channel map. See the README file included with the distribution. Note that http://tvtv.de keeps changing the names of their channel logo images, which epg2timers uses to determine the channel an EPG entry belongs to. So, unfortunately, I have to keep changing the map and it will never be complete, since I do not have a lot of time chasing after channels I do not / cannot watch. Contributions are always welcome and maybe in the future I'll change the algorithm so the channel map will be based on a plain text channel name somewhere in the HTML code of the "merkliste" page. Carsten.

streamplayer - no audio when streaming audio only?
by lars＠jpl.se 12 Jan '07

12 Jan '07

Hi! I'm trying to use VLC to stream an mms:// as MPGA to my VDR-box where I have installed the streamplayer plugin, but I get no sound! Streamplyer says it's receiving a stream and the bitrate show, the buffering value goes up to the value a specify and the starts over from 0 again. I'm using this commands to stream the the mms:// as MPGA: vlc mms://blah --sout "#transcode{acodec=mpga,ab=192}:std{access=http,mux=ts,url=:8083}" Is there anyone who has a clue about whi it isn't working - is it because there is no video? Thanks for any help! Regards, Lars Fredriksson

Replay a recording and return to calling plugin?
by Christian Wieninger 10 Jan '07

10 Jan '07

Hi, is there any way to start the replay of a recording in a plugin, so that after ending the replay, VDR returns to the calling plugin instead of the recordings menu? My replay start looks like this: cReplayControl::SetRecording(recording->FileName(), recording->Title()); return osReplay; I played with a derived replay control, but found no solution yet. Regards, Christian

RADIO: Select left / right audio channel?
by Patrick Mackin 10 Jan '07

10 Jan '07

Is it possible for vdr to set and remember either the left or right audio channel for a particular SID? Telstar 5 for example has several radio channels that have different programming on the left and right channels. I can select one of these, but then if I switch stations and return, it has forgotten my selection and both left and right channels are active again. This is a feature I am used to on my Windows dvb apps, and it would be nice to have on vdr. I saw a post in 2005 about it, but no definitive answer.

Neotion MPEG4 transcoder
by Pjotr Kourzanov 10 Jan '07

10 Jan '07

Dear all, Has anyone tried the Neotion MPEG4 transcoder in a CI/CAM format with vdr yet? Here is the link: http://www.neotion.com/products/modules.php. Does it work with full-featured cards? This seems to be the only option for light-weighted vdr hosts (<1Ghz) with MPEG4 reception... Pjotr
