Understanding how vdr's tuning algo works.
by Stone 10 Mar '07

10 Mar '07

Hello All, I am curious how vdr's tuning algorithm, in general, works. With all the refactoring that has gone on with how vdr tunes, locks, retunes, and otherwise tries to anticipate various forms of interference, storms, or other activities that could hinder vdr from performing its job adequitely, please describe, in pseudocode, how the tuning algorythm actually works. Some of my questions are: 1) What do all the tuning timers mean? There are some constants in vdr code, what are the … [View More]

Handling of temporarily encrypted channels
by Ondrej Wisniewski 09 Mar '07

09 Mar '07

I am using VDR 1.4.5 with the integrated auto pid feature and without any CAM. When tuning to an encrypted channel, the CA value gets set accordingly and "channel not available" is displayed. So far so good. However there are channels that encrypt only certain programs and are free the rest of the time. When tuning to this "free" channel while the program is encrypted, the CA value will be set and "channel not available" shown. But when tuning to the same channel again when it is not encrypted … [View More]

BUG: Incorrect playback times for radio channels
by Patrick Mackin 07 Mar '07

07 Mar '07

I have noticed a potential bug in playing back radio channels. The playback time of recorded radio channels is inflated by almost 40%. This has been confirmed on four North American satellites on three different providers. The reported time for a 10 minute recording will consistently appear as 13:47. Some have hypothesized the problem comes from the fact that vdr's timers are based on video frame rates, which of course don't exist on radio channels. World Radio Network (wrn.org) is one … [View More]

[ANNOUNCE] remoteosd-0.0.2
by Frank Schmirler 07 Mar '07

07 Mar '07

Hi, another new version this week: remoteosd-0.0.2 is out. The remoteosd plugin allows a (client) VDR to operate the menu of a remote (server) VDR. Remoteosd requires the svdrpservice plugin, so make sure both plugins get installed on the client. The svdrpext plugin is required on the server. All three plugins are available on http://vdr.schmirler.de. Most important changes in version 0.0.2: New option "Tune server channel". When opening the remote OSD, the plugin tries to tune the server to … [View More]

vdr-1.5.1 & problems with the new shutdown code
by Rolf Ahrenberg 06 Mar '07

06 Mar '07

Hi, I've noticed some shutdown problems with vdr-1.5.1 in my setup: when my vdr wakes up for a timed recording, it doesn't automatically shutdown itself anymore after the recording is done. The MinEventTimeout is set to 15 minutes and MinUserInactivity to 600 minutes, but in my case there hasn't been any user activity, so vdr should have shutdown in 15 minutes after the recording was stopped and the logs don't reveal anything unusual. Have I misunderstood something? Does this automatic … [View More]

[ANNOUNCE] svdrpservice-0.0.3
by Frank Schmirler 06 Mar '07

06 Mar '07

Hi there, svdrpservice is a helper plugin which makes it easy for other plugins to send SVDRP commands to an other VDR. Homepage: http://vdr.schmirler.de. Most important changes in 0.0.3: No longer using a fixed buffer size. Users of the epgsync plugin might appreciate this when using external EPG sources with e.g. tvmovie2vdr. The amount of data provided there was often too large for the old buffer. The plugin has its own setup menu now. You can specify default values for the server IP … [View More]
