Request: Extension of menu button
by Sebastian Kemper 22 Jun '07

22 Jun '07

Hello all, hello Klaus, I'm going to buy a new remote, the URC 7240 Big Easy 4. http://www.oneforall.de/?pag=40&prodnr=37 It has basically every button one needs, only the Exit button is missing. Would it be possible to extend the functionality of the menu button in a way that it acts like the exit button in case the OSD is currently active? Something like this maybe: < no OSD > press menu button < OSD menu opens > press 1 < program info opens > press menu < OSD drops back to menu > press menu < OSD vanishes > I know some people like to use the menu key to close the OSD instantly. So maybe an option to change between the two different behaviours would be nice. I think it would be cool. Even for people who have an exit button this could be helpful. Maybe their menu and exit buttons are a little far apart or their exit button is hard to fumble for. Regards Sebastian

Splited recordings problem
by Adrian C. 22 Jun '07

22 Jun '07

Hello, I have a problem with my VDR setup. I didn't record anything in a long time (since 1.3.x was in use, then everything was ok) and just recently realised I have a problem. Anything I record get's splited into numerous pieces (like VDR is recording every frame into diffrent file)... so when I try to playback a recording I don't get smooth playback but something like slow motion. To check some plugin is not the cause of this, I started VDR with only xine plugin enabled and tried to record something. Same thing happened. Could it be that I have some wrong settings in my config file (I didn't changed practicly anything since I've used 1.3.x). Can someone pinpoint what could be the problem? I'm using VDR 1.4.7 with xine plugin 0.7.10 (xine-lib 1.1.3). I have a dish with two LNBs (pointed at 19.2E and 13E). regular diseqc switch. I'm using the same kernel/drivers for a long time (2.6.18), so nothing changed there. Only thing that was changed are VDR versions, I've applied patches as they got announced on this list My diseqc settings look like this: S19.2E 11700 V 9750 t v W15 [E0 10 38 F0] W15 A W15 t ... S13.0E 11700 V 9750 t v W15 [E0 10 38 F4] W15 B W15 t ... If someone would help me, please tell me if you need more information, thank you.

The attached patch fixes a name clash between skincurses.c and the new position functions in cOsd. Guess I should have compiled the plugin once again after having made this last minute change... Klaus

multiplex to PES
by Patrick Cernko 17 Jun '07

17 Jun '07

Hi List, does anyone know how to multiplex some demuxed elementary streams (e.g. a video stream, an mpeg audio stream and an ac3 audio stream) into a proper vdr PES stream? I already tried mplex -f 8 but I'm not sure if the result is completely correct: It works (somehow, not sure if completely) but this is definitely not a PES stream. So long, -- Patrick Cernko | mailto:errror@errror.org | http://www.errror.org

[ANNOUNCE] VDR developer version 1.5.3
by Klaus Schmidinger 17 Jun '07

17 Jun '07

VDR developer version 1.5.3 is now available at ftp://ftp.cadsoft.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-1.5.3.tar.bz2 A 'diff' against the previous developer version is available at ftp://ftp.cadsoft.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-1.5.2-1.5.3.diff This version finally brings UTF-8 capability to VDR! There are still a few minor details to iron out, but all in all it already works pretty good. Note that if you run VDR on a UTF-8 system, it will write all its text files using UTF-8. Existing text files written in ISO will not be automatically converted to UTF-8. You will need to do this yourself if necessary. Channel and EPG data will be automatically changed to UTF-8 as new data comes in. If you run VDR on a system with ISO character set, files will still be stored in ISO just as before. Several bugfixes etc. that have been posted on the mailing list lately are still in my inbox and I have yet to look into them. WARNING: ======== This is a *developer* version. Even though *I* use it in my productive environment, I strongly recommend that you only use it under controlled conditions and for testing and debugging. The changes since version 1.5.2: - Fixed some spelling errors in 'newplugin' (thanks to Ville Skyttä). - 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 a race condition with signal handlers at program exit (thanks to Udo Richter). - Non-primary devices in Transfer mode are now also used for recording (thanks to Anssi Hannula). - Fixed handling ChannelUp/Down keys if there is currently a replay running (thanks to Marco Schlüßler). - The new SVDRP command REMO can be used to turn VDR's remote control off and on in case other programs need to be controlled (based on patches from Krzysztof Parma and Helmut Auer). - Increased the maximum number of CA system ids to cope with the AlphaCrypt CAM's version 3.11 firmware. - Fixed getting the code setting from the locale (thanks to Matthias Schwarzott). - Implemented support for Freetype fonts (based on a patch from Alexander Riedel). The font names and sizes can be adjusted in the "Setup/OSD" menu. Note that VDR now requires freetype fonts to be installed in /usr/share/fonts/truetype. - If the OSD device in use has at least 8bpp bitmap depth and this is also used by the current skin, Freetype fonts are displayed "anti-aliased". The new setup parameter "OSD/Anti-alias" can be used to turn this off. - The new function cOsd::SetAntiAliasGranularity() can be used to help the OSD in managing the available color palette entries when doing anti-aliasing. Skins that use 8bpp bitmaps can call this function with the maximum number of colors used, and the maximum number of color combinations. The OSD will then evenly split the available palette entries between the various colors combinations, so that fonts can be "anti-aliased". By default a total of 10 colors and 10 combinations is assumed. - The pixel fonts have been completely removed from the VDR source. - VDR is now "UTF-8 aware". It handles strings according to the character encoding used on the user's system. All internationalization strings and incoming SI data are converted to the system encoding. - Plugins that handle strings need to be aware that on systems with UTF-8 encoding a "character symbol" may consist of more than a single byte in memory. The functions and macros named Utf8...() can be used to handle strings without needing to care about the underlying character encoding (see tools.h for details). - Even though the weekdays of repeating timers are presented to the user as UTF-8 characters in the OSD, the timers.conf file and the SVDRP timer commands still use single byte characters ("MTWTFSS") to make sure this information is handled correctly between systems with different character encodings. - Added a missing i18n string for "CAM" in the Turkish OSD texts. - Improved editing strings that are too long to fit into the editable area. - Changes to the OSD settings in the "Setup/OSD" menu now immediately take effect when the "Ok" key is pressed. Have fun! Klaus

anybody using the dxr3 plugin with vdr 1.5.3?
by Luca Olivetti 17 Jun '07

17 Jun '07

Hello, I wanted to try the development version of vdr (1.5.3) to see what's new and to keep my actuator plugin up to date. I think that the new vdr is doing funky things with the osd, since the menu is unwatchable (a lot of "dxr3: colormanager: bummer, too many sections (14), reusing last one"). OTOH the menu of my plugin displays just fine. I did not try any skin plugin yet, I loaded the bare minimum (dxr3, actuator and savechannel), so I just tested the 2 skins included in vdr (being the classic one the worst). Bye -- Luca
