Problem with multiple audio channels and DVB subtitles in recordings (YLE Teema)
by Ville Aakko 01 Jul '07

01 Jul '07

Hi! I've had problems with two episodes of a documentary series about drugs and the human brain running on Finnish YLE Teema (originally a French documentary by ARTE France NOVAPROD OWL). The audio channels are labeled wrongly in the recordings (there is the original French commentary / dubbed interviews and one with Finnish commentary / original interviews), but more importantly, subtitles are not replayed in the recordings! I've had no problems with DVB subtitles on other recordings I've made. Wathing the program in real-time has no problems, there I can see the subtitles without problems. Only the recordings have problems. Is this problem only on my setup? I haven't checked into this in more detail yet, but those who are interested (btw. the series is really interesting) and also live in Finland, please check if you can record this correctly. There is a rerun today of the 3rd episode: YLE Teema: 18.00 Huumetta aivoille And, since this is a 5-episode series, there'll be opportunities (2x2) to debug this one. The series runs on thursdays (21.00 EEST), and re-runs on saturdays (18.00 EEST). I'm watching in the Oulu region via DVB-C (OPOY/3KTV). I'm using Gentoo, and vdr 1.4.6, with bigpatch, and subtitles 0.4.0. The newest vdr is not in Gentoo yet (we -- -- Ville Aakko - ville.aakko(a)gmail.com

vdr-1.5.5: red/green/yellow/blue doesn't work anymore

I just upgraded to vdr 1.5.5 and now the colour buttons on the remote doesn't work anymore when there's no OSD. If I press the menu button first they work. Is there a new setting that can have this effect? -- Torgeir Veimo torgeir(a)pobox.com

Buffer overflow in initializing character table
by Klaus Schmidinger 01 Jul '07

Marco Schlüßler has sent me the attached patch that fixes a buffer overflow in initializing VDR's character table. Since I'll be away from home for another two weeks and this might be a problem for others, too, I'm posting it here before the next official developer version. Klaus

setting tv standard in /dev/video0
by Stone 01 Jul '07

Hi, I am currently using VDR with a Nexus-S FF card in an NTSC environment. For a long time, I could never get the correct tv standard (NTSC) while trying to watch television via VDRAdmin. I recently noticed that once I stream VDR using VLC and its v4l interface, something in /dev/video0 gets set to NTSC, because from then on, the video is correctly set to NTSC mode and I can watch television via the VDRAdmin television interface. Here is the VLC command I'm using: vlc -vvv v4l:/dev/video0:adev=/dev/dsp:audio=1:norm=ntsc:size=352x240 --sout '#transcode{vcodec=DIV3,vb=64,acodec=mp3,ab=48,deinterlace}:std{access=http,mux=asf,dst=:6789}' Notice how VLC is directly interacting with the video from /dev/video0 (this method only works with FF cards). Somehow, the v4l interface from VLC is setting the tv standard properly for /dev/video0 and fixing VDRAdmin for NTSC. Anyone have an idea whats going on? The firmware is set to NTSC as soon as the card tunes to a NTSC channel. Why would /dev/video0 not be set to NTSC until I stream it with VLC? Best Regards.
