EPG Question (concerning BBC3 and BBC4)
by Brian 08 Feb '07

08 Feb '07

Hi, BBC3 and BBC4 only start to show programs at 19:00 UK time. My EPG for these programs comes via the internet. If I try to look at the EPG for those channels before 19:00, then they are not even shown in the list of programs I have EPG for on the OSD. I assume this is a desired behaviour of VDR. If so, any way to change it? I didn't find anyway in the Menus. Cheers Brian

vdr-xine loses OSD and sound
by Tuomas Jormola 08 Feb '07

08 Feb '07

Hello, I'm experiencing a strange problem with VDR and Xine plugin. When the system boots and Xine player connects to the vdr-xine socket for the first time, everything is working great. You can navigate OSD with keyboard (I'm using Xine remote) in any OSD display mode, sound works and all channels are available. However, things start to go wrong if I quit the Xine player and then launch it again and connect to vdr-xine. If any of the blend scaled OSD display modes is configured, … [View More]

Epgsearch does not create timers
by Stuart Morris 07 Feb '07

I am having difficulty getting Epgsearch plugin to create any timers.

vdr 1.4.3 with burn-0.1.0-pre21 fails in growisofs with the following error. This has me stumped. What am I doing wrong?

Sky+ Series Link
by Rob Davis 04 Feb '07

04 Feb '07

I was playing with a Sky+ box over Christmas and was quite impressed mainly with Series Link. What would be involved to get this implemented on VDR? I understand the likelihood of reading the Sky UK epg streams is small - however I am downloading a week or so worth of epg listings off xmltv. Is it possible to do a quick search on the epg if a "record series" link is requested? -- Latest news on http://www.streetcredo.org.uk/rob Rob Davis

[PATCH] Fix EPG for UPC direct
by Thiemo Gehrke 03 Feb '07

03 Feb '07

UPC is a provider for middle european countries (Czechia, Hungary and Poland). They use iso6937-2 for encoding their EPG data so this looks quite strange in the vdr. The applied patch does a "remapping" to iso8859-2 so that characters are displayed correct. (Currently only tested with Czech and Hungarian, but should also work for Polish) While testing this with the help of an hungarian user, i also found out that the the codepage for Hungary must be 8859-2, not -1. The patch is work by … [View More]
