VDSB due to timer on off-air channel...
by iain＠bigserver.dnsalias.net 17 Jun '07

17 Jun '07

Hi all. Running vdr 1.3.43, yes I should probably upgrade, but it's mostly working... Anyhow, the issue. Based in the UK, picking up DVB-t with reasonable signal strength. Use vdradmin with a timer margin of 10 mins at the end. Alas, sometimes timers get created that extend past the time a channel goes off-air. VDR promptly video-data-stream-brokens repeatedly until the timer ends, or is stopped/deleted manually. Had a similar issue with timers for programs starting when the channel goes on-… [View More]

Subtitles patch causing ProjectX warnings
by Tony Houghton 16 Jun '07

16 Jun '07

When demuxing my VDR recordings in ProjectX I get thousands of apparently harmless warnings like this: !> error in pes_extension of pes-ID 0xE0 @ pos: 101203597 (2048 / 19 / 20 / true / false) !> error in pes_extension of pes-ID 0xC0 @ pos: 101229768 (592 / 16 / 37 / true / true) I posted about a more serious problem at <http://forum.dvbtechnics.info/showthread.php?t=3614> and someone recognised these errors and thinks they're due to VDR's subtitle/ttxtsubs patch. I'm not sure of … [View More]

VDR 1.5.3: UTF-8 vs. ExchangeChars()
by Klaus Schmidinger 14 Jun '07

14 Jun '07

The function ExchangeChars() in VDR/recording.c converts characters that can't be used in file names on Windows to "#XX", where XX is the hex code of the character. This was simple when VDR only worked with single byte character sets, but now that it can handle UTF-8 this needs to be changed, too. Currently it has a list of characters that can be used "as is", and converts everything else to "#XX". I guess it is better to convert any "disturbing" characters to "#XX" and leave the rest … [View More]

VDR timer + mplayer = VDR crash. Please fix!
by VDR User 13 Jun '07

13 Jun '07

If a timer is triggered while the mplayer plugin is in use, VDR crashes. This has happened to me about a zillion times now and I'm hoping somebody will fix this! You can use the mplayer plugin after a timer is started no problem. Correct me if I'm wrong but mplayer should never have to take control of the tuner in the first place since it's not required to play a media file. Free booze to anyone who can fix this incredibly annoying problem once and for all!! Thanks. :)

Hi, could somebody point me in right direction? I am looking into configuring a second DVBS card to use with vdr. Configuration: Athlon 1.2GHz MB: ABIT Memory: 512MB OS: Mandriva 2006 vdr: 1.4.5 DVBS1: Nexus-S DVBS2: Twinhan 1025a At this time I use Nexus-S and it works fine.

by Oliver Joa 13 Jun '07

13 Jun '07

Hi, i use vdr since a long time, i still use version 1.3.23 on 3 Computers. The last months/years i did not follow the development. Is there already a solution for the client-server Problem? I wonder if it is possible to have 1 server recording and streaming to 2 client. And the clients possible to start recordings on the server. Maybe the possibility to see the osd of the server on the clients... Klaus: Do you plan someting like this? Thanks Olli

by Ludwig Nussel 12 Jun '07

Hi, I've added vdr 1.5 to the buildservice now as well. Packages are available for 10.0, 10.1 and 10.2 at http://software.opensuse.org/download/vdr/ The package is called 'vdr15' and uses a different configuration directory so it can be installed in addition to the 1.4 version. The vdr-plugins package contains plugins both 1.4 as well as 1.5. cu Ludwig -- (o_ Ludwig Nussel //\ V_/_ http://www.suse.de/ SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nuernberg)

VDR exited with status 134
by Kartsa 11 Jun '07

11 Jun '07

Most of the time when VDR shuts the box down using vdrshutdown script there is a line in the log runvdr: VDR exited with status 134, attempting restart I've got fedora with runvdr from fedora vdr package and it tries to restart VDR if exit code is something else than 0, 2 or 137. Sometimes the exit code is 137 but most of the time it is 134. This causes VDR to restart (or runvdr makes VDR to restart) and dvb drivers to reload. What does exit code 134 mean? Why is exit code sometimes 137 … [View More]

by Pirlouwi 11 Jun '07

Hello everybody, I live in Belgium, and would like to setup vdr with a budget DVB-T USB Freecom Stick. DVB-T is working well on my system with mplayer, xine, Kaffeine.
