AnalogTV plugin help with saa7134
by Toufeeq Hussain 02 May '07

02 May '07

Hi, I'm currently using a Pinnacle PCTV 50e TV-tuner card and trying to get it to work with vdr and facing some problems. Does the analogtv plugin work with the saa7134 set of TV-tuner cards. If someone has got these cards to work well with analogtv I would like to know what are the steps which are required to make it work. I have analogtv compiled with vdr 1.4.X and this is the output of vdr once I start it with 'vdr -Panalogtv' 20:30:12 analogTV version 1.0.00 starting up ... 20:30:12 20:30:12 Copyright (c) 2003 .. 2006 by Andreas Kool (akool(a)gmx.de) 20:30:12 20:30:12 The analogTV plugin is the work of many people; 20:30:12 for at least a partial list see CREDITS. 20:30:12 20:30:12 analogTV comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details see COPYING. 20:30:12 This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it 20:30:12 under certain conditions; see COPYING for details. 20:30:12 20:30:12 Detected Linux version 2.6.18-4-686 20:30:12 Detected VDR version 1.4.5 20:30:12 Detected plain-vanilla VDR (hopefully :-) 20:30:12 cSchedules created 20:30:12 Using 4:3 video format 20:30:12 Detected ConfigDirectory()="/video/plugins" 20:30:12 CPU , family 0, model 0, stepping 2 20:30:12 CPU measured at 648.054MHz 20:30:12 Using MMX optimized memcpy() At this point it just stops and nothing seems to be happening. I tried using softdevice with "xv:" but it just exited without displaying anything. Any help w.r.t this problem would be much appreciated. Thanks, Toufeeq -- blog @ http://www.toufeeq.net

Have installed the same v4l-dvb drivers on 2 different machines with the same results. One is an Intel P2 350, the other a P4 Dell GX260. Which lines should I comment in dvb_ca_en50221.c ???

en50221_tl_poll: CAWrite failed
by Simon Baxter 02 May '07

02 May '07

Thought I'd try a new thread with this problem as I'm getting no where - and not sure what else to try. I've just added a Irdeto CAM to my TT-1500 Budget DVB-C card and I'm getting write errors with VDR and with gnutv: [root@media1 gnutv]# dmesg | grep DVB DVB: registering new adapter (TT-Budget-C-CI PCI). DVB: registering frontend 0 (ST STV0297 DVB-C)... dvb_ca adapter 0: DVB CAM detected and initialised successfully dvb_ca adapter 0: DVB CAM detected and initialised successfully [root@media1 gnutv]# ./gnutv -cammenu en50221_tl_poll: CAWrite failed en50221_stdcam_llci_poll: Error reported by stack:-2 and In /var/log/messages: Apr 30 19:31:26 media1 vdr: [2774] CAM 1: module present Apr 30 19:31:28 media1 kernel: dvb_ca adapter 0: DVB CAM detected and initialised successfully Apr 30 19:31:28 media1 vdr: [2774] CAM 1: module ready Apr 30 19:31:29 media1 vdr: [2774] ERROR: can't write to CI adapter on device 0: Input/output error In dmesg: dvb_ca adapter 0: DVB CAM detected and initialised successfully dvb_ca adapter 0: DVB CAM detected and initialised successfully dvb_ca adapter 0: DVB CAM detected and initialised successfully I'm running the latest hg v4l-dvb. Can anyone suggest anything? Does this look like faulty hardware??? It does it in 2 different machines. Thanks Simon

Which is the best way for DVD audio (2.0)?
by Kartsa 01 May '07

01 May '07

I have vdr-1.4.5 and dvd-cvs plugin. What would be the correct way to get the dvd audio out? I have two different sets, one with FF card and one with DXR3. I've tried to use -a a52dec with different modes but have not been able to get audio out from FF/DXR3 (analog). Ofcourse there is AC3 on the dvd why else use a52dec. Anyway I can get the audio out through separate audio card but the dvd audio is slightly delayd. Any hints why? \\Kartsa

backports from 1.4.6-1 to dev
by Stone 01 May '07

01 May '07

Hi, Klaus, I wasnt sure if you were going to release another version of 1.5.x, so I just wanted to toss these out there for testing. The NIT fixes in vdr-1.4.6-1 are not attached to this mail because they have already been posted to the list. Best Regards

[ANNOUNCE] VDR maintenance patch 1.4.6-1
by Klaus Schmidinger 01 May '07

01 May '07

VDR maintenance patch 1.4.6-1 is now available at ftp://ftp.cadsoft.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-1.4.6-1.diff This is a 'diff' against version 1.4.6. Small fixes to the officially released VDR versions will be first made available as "maintenance patches" in the Developer directory, so that they can be reviewed and tested before a new official release is published. So please apply the above patch and report whether it works (or if it causes any new problems). This version is binary compatible to the previous one, so plugins don't need to be recompiled. The changes since version 1.4.6: - Fixed a busy loop in fast forward if the next video data file is missing (thanks to Reinhard Nissl). - Fixed handling frequencies in NitFilter::Process() (thanks to Anssi Hannula). - Fixed handling ChannelUp/Down keys if there is currently a replay running (thanks to Marco Schlüßler). - Increased the maximum number of CA system ids to cope with the AlphaCrypt CAM's version 3.11 firmware. Have fun! Klaus

OT: "Pop around the clock" concerts all day on 3sat
by Lucian Muresan 01 May '07

01 May '07

Hello folks, did some of you, which can receive "3sat" also forgot, like me, they're broadcasting lots of good concerts today, all day? Well, I just remembered during the Chris Rea concert and started to record, I guess I'll schedule all of the remaining ones. They're listed in order of broadcasting here: http://www.3sat.de/3sat.php?http://www.3sat.de/poparoundtheclock_index.html right now "Cyndi Lauper & Friends" is recording... Now, is it legal or not, to exchange records which where broadcasted FTA and everyone COULD record? Anyone recorded the ones in the morning? Is this all some matter for VIDEGOR (haven't used it, but I guess I could set it up after finishing...)?

[Announce] epgsearch-0.9.21
by Christian Wieninger 01 May '07

01 May '07

Hi, here's the next release of epgsearch. 2007-04-29: Version 0.9.21 new: - support for the new MainMenuHooksPatch. This replaces the vdr-replace-schedulemenu patch. The new patch is used by other plugins too, so from now on only one patch is needed. The old patch is still supported, but this will be removed in the next releases. - announcements of broadcasts via OSD have been completely redesigned. Instead of displaying them event by event, you get now "x new broadcast(s) found! Show them?". Pressing 'Ok' shows a menu of all events with the usual functions as in other EPG menus. With "Edit" you can modify the announce settings (like "announce again: yes/no" or announce again after day x). - timer conflict notifications via OSD can now be supressed while replaying. Nevertheless, if a conflict comes up within the next 2 hours the message gets still displayed. - all addon plugins (epgsearchonly, quickepgsearch, conflictcheckonly) now have a setup option to toggle the main menu entry on/off, thanks to Tobias Grimm for providing a patch. - channel name in aux info of manual timers, thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg for providing a patch. - new script undoneepgsearch.sh to undo a timer within the recordings menu, more info at: http://www.vdr-portal.de/board/thread.php?postid=574109#post574109 Thanks to the author Christian Jacobsen - update for french translation, thanks to Patrice Staudt - update for finnish translation, thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg - menu 'timer conflicts details' now also shows the date of the conflict in menu title, suggested by Rusk@vdrportal. - the password for mail authentication is now hidden in the OSD, i.e. represented with '***...' - the setup for mail notifications now also has a "Send to" address, because some providers don't allow the same address for sender and recipient. If "Send to" is not set, epgsearch automatically uses the sender address as recipient. - when testing for repeats (with feature 'Avoid repeats') epgsearch now only compares the alphanumeric portions of title and episode and ignores the case too. Suggested by chello@vdrportal. - thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg for finnish translation update - added '&' to the set of valid chars for search terms fixes: - the tags stored in the aux info of the timers created with search timers conform now to correct XML syntax (no capitals, no blanks). E.g. "Search timer" will be changed to "searchtimer". So don't wonder if the first search timer update will modify all existent timers created with search timers. Thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg for reporting. - update of recordingdone.sh because of the previous changes, thanks to Mike Constabel for providing a patch - fixed a segfault in the case of misconfigured extended EPG categories. - scrolling text items now works again, if your skin supports this. Thanks to ufauser@vdrportal for reporting. - setup option "Use search timers" now always gets automatically enabled, if one toggles a search to 'active' or manually starts a search timer update. - fixed handling of double quotes in title/episode when passed to userdefined EPG commands, thanks to Mike Constabel for reporting. - fixed menu handling in search timer templates menu, thanks to wombel@vdrportal for reporting. Description and download: http://people.freenet.de/cwieninger/html/vdr-epg-search__english_.html wget: http://people.freenet.de/cwieninger/vdr-epgsearch-0.9.21.tgz Have fun! Christian
