[Patch] add support for drive speed to vdr-dvd
by Sebastian Kemper 11 Nov '07

11 Nov '07

Hello all, here's a proposal for speed control for vdr-dvd. It uses SG_IO and GPCMD_SET_STREAMING so there's no need for VDR to run as root. The user needs rw permissions on the drive, though. When the plug-in is terminated the drive will be set to its initial speed (vacuum cleaner mode). The code is heavily based on mplayer (thank you). I tested it with vdr-1.4.6 and a vdr-dvd snapshot on a NEC ND-3500 and it works just fine. The user can set the speed between 1x and 4x - I figure that's enough - in the OSD plug-in setup. If set to 0 the patch won't kick in. In case the users sets it to zero _while_ he/she is watching a dvd the speed will still be reset because of a DvdSetSpeedActive flag. Kernel and headers have to support the commands for the patch to work but the plug-in should compile and work even on older kernels. All feedback is very welcome. Regards Sebastian

VDR doesn't always switch channel correctly
by Maxime Laplante 10 Nov '07

10 Nov '07

Hi guys, I'm running VDR 1.4.0 on my CaptiveWorks CW-3000HD FTA receiver. I have a DishPro Twin LNB to receive both Nimiq 1 (91.0W) and Nimiq 2 (82.0W) There is also a Dish Pro DP34 switch between the receiver and lnb. Everything is working good except that sometimes VDR doesn't tune a channel correctly. I just get a black screen. Usually when I switch from a channel on one satellite to a channel on another satellite. I searched the mailing list and found that there may be a patch but this is not for vdr 1.4.0 check this: http://212.227.166.180/pipermail/vdr/2005-December/006841.html My current diseqc.conf is: # DiseqC Configuration # Port 0 Galaxy 11 & Nimiq 1,3 S91.0W 99999 V 11250 t V W15 [E0 10 38 F2] W20 [E0 10 38 F2] W20 S91.0W 99999 H 14350 t V W15 [E0 10 38 F2] W20 [E0 10 38 F2] W20 S91.0W 99999 R 11250 t V W15 [E0 10 38 F2] W20 [E0 10 38 F2] W20 S91.0W 99999 L 14350 t V W15 [E0 10 38 F2] W20 [E0 10 38 F2] W20 # Port 1 Nimiq 2 S82.0W 99999 V 11250 t V W15 [E0 10 38 F6] W20 [E0 10 38 F6] W20 S82.0W 99999 H 14350 t V W15 [E0 10 38 F6] W20 [E0 10 38 F6] W20 S82.0W 99999 R 11250 t V W15 [E0 10 38 F6] W20 [E0 10 38 F6] W20 S82.0W 99999 L 14350 t V W15 [E0 10 38 F6] W20 [E0 10 38 F6] W20 Thanks, Maxime

VDR 1.5.11 segfaults at startup
by Mika Orajärvi 10 Nov '07

10 Nov '07

Hi! Im trying to update vdr 1.4.x to 1.5.11. But my vdr keeps segfaulting every time when its started. It takes about 2-3 s after starting the vdr to the segfault. Ive tried running it only with xine-plugin (0.8.0) so far and without any patches on top of vdr. And im running vdr on Ubuntu Dapper. GDB gives following backtrace, any ideas? It seems to be something related to fonts,.. but beyond that I have no idea. ------------------------------------- . Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

Max 4 DVB Devices on VDR?
by Morfsta 09 Nov '07

09 Nov '07

Hi, I have just added a Nova-T 500 device to my VDR stable setup (1.4.7) and now have 5 frontends: - [ 29.735000] DVB: registering frontend 0 (ST STV0299 DVB-S)... [ 29.955000] DVB: registering frontend 1 (ST STV0299 DVB-S)... [ 29.976000] DVB: registering frontend 2 (Conexant CX22702 DVB-T)... [ 30.129000] DVB: registering frontend 3 (DiBcom 3000MC/P)... [ 30.634000] DVB: registering frontend 4 (DiBcom 3000MC/P)... The problem I have is that the fifth frontend doesn't work in VDR (i.e. I can only tune to 2 DVB-T stations simultaneously). If I move my DVB-TTPCI device to the 5th in the setup I then don't get any output via the mpeg2 decoder either, proving that the 5th device is also not being picked up. Is there a restriction of frontends in VDR and if so, how can I up it? Regards, Morfsta

[Announce] vdr-fritzbox 0.0.8
by Joachim Wilke 04 Nov '07

04 Nov '07

Dear Fritz!Box- and VDR-Users, a new version of the Fritz!Box Plugin is available at http://joachim-wilke.de/index.htm?alias=vdr-fritz - - - The Fritz!Box Plugin connects to your Fritz!Box to inform you about incoming calls. The plugin can automatically mute or pause VDR when a call comes in. Via VDR's main menu you can browse your Fritz!Box phone book, the call lists and initiate calls out of all lists. - - - The last changes are: - code restructuring and cleanup, preparation for multiple phonebooks etc. - resorted includes for gcc-2.95 - in cMenuCallDetail::SetText(): std::string::npos is not a uint, using std::string::size_type instead (patch provided by Axel [15]) - cFritzListener::Action(): using -1 in memset to be compatible with its arg type (patch provided by Axel [15]) - added missing copyright notices in all sources (reported by Thomas [16]) - implemented reverse lookup phonebook via www.das-oertliche.de - new setup-page for configuring a list of used phonebooks and the order in which they are accessed while resolving numbers to names; in the phonebook view the first displayable phonebook in this list is shown - adapted README accordingly - the call list is now fetched asynchroneously at startup, avoiding the delay in the menu; to keep it up to date, it is reloaded after every call automatically - new makefile target "srcdoc" to generate source code documentation - Improved the 'i18n' target in the Makefile to avoid unnecessary work as suggested by vdr-1.5.11 - - - Regards, Joachim.
