RFC: multiple channel sources in EPG
by Pjotr Kourzanov 04 Jan '07

04 Jan '07

Dear all, I have a request for change in EPG data format. Currently, a lot of space is wasted when dealing with EPG for massive amounts of channels which are available from several different sources. Suppose that CNN is receivable from 10 satellites. Then, 9x the size of EPG data for CNN of storage waste is observed, as dictated by VDR's epg.data format. I propose to change the VDR's epg.data format as follows. Now, for each channel we have: C <channel id> <channel name> … [View More]

background vdr thread eating cpu
by Torgeir Veimo 03 Jan '07

Every two and a half minute, my syslog gets an entry like: Jan 3 06:04:40 htpc kernel: cx88[1]/2: cx8802_timeout Jan 3 06:04:49 htpc vdr: [2369] frontend 1 timed out while tuning to channel 9, tp 578 About 30 seconds before i get this entry, thee's a vdr thread that eats about 25% system cpu time. I'm wondering what it's doing with all that processor power? As I'm using budget cards with softdevice, this has an effect on tv playback.. It only happens when I'm using two cards at … [View More]

VDRAdmin and character mapping
by Pasi Juppo 03 Jan '07

03 Jan '07

Hi, I have a small annoying problem that most likely is quite trivial but can find the cause. All characters above ASCII 127 are converted to something else. E.g. 'ä' gets converted to ','. Funny thing is that on my server (FC4) the conversion is done like that but on windows computer they are converted to '?' chars. On the machine where VDRAdmin is running characters are shown correctly. It seems to be related to language setting but can't figure out how to fix this. Could someone with more … [View More]

Removing newline characters from EPG entries.
by Carsten Koch 02 Jan '07

02 Jan '07

Hi, I found the following code in epg.c lines 633-636: // VDR can't usefully handle newline characters in the title and shortText of EPG // data, so let's always convert them to blanks (independent of the setting of EPGBugfixLevel): strreplace(title, '\n', ' '); strreplace(shortText, '\n', ' '); AFAIK, VDR _can_ handle newlines in the title and shortText, as long as they are represented as '|'. So I wonder if it would not be an improvement to change the above code into // Change … [View More]
