VDR & Multiple frontends
by Eddi 25 Jul '15

25 Jul '15

Hi, I wrote a patch to Steve Toth hvr3000 repository, so my FlyDVB Trio can use multiple frontend. So I get: /dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0 /dev/dvb/adapter0/demux1 /dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr0 /dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr1 /dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0 /dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend1 /dev/dvb/adapter0/net0 /dev/dvb/adapter0/net1 The bus of the two frontend is shared, isn't possible to get access to both frontend simultaneously, so I get an -EBUSY error by trying accessing frontend1 if frontend0 is in use. VDR doesn't support yet the second frontend, and it try to get exclusive access on both frontend on start, so the second frontend is inusabile. Vdr should probe for multiple frontend at start, and access frontend only on channel change. Please can someone give me an help to wrote a patch for this issue? Best Regards, Eddi

EPG for Hotbird / russian programmes
by Harald Milz 23 Dec '08

23 Dec '08

Hi, now that my VDR works fine with 2 satellites thanks to the help of some kind folks here and the SourceCaps patch (did I mention it should be in the mainstream VDR?) I have now a couple of FTA programmes in russian language for my better half :-) The only problem is, none of these programmes carry any EPG information. The schedules are available on the web sites, mostly. Has somebody written a plugin that retrieves the schedules and creates proper EPG data from them? I might but not too soon... I understand this task can be a pain in <pick your favourite body part> because people use no SOA interfaces. TBNRussia provides an Excel file (yuck). TIA! -- Reader, suppose you were an idiot. And suppose you were a member of Congress. But I repeat myself. -- Mark Twain

vdr on PS3
by Clemens Kirchgatterer 20 Sep '08

20 Sep '08

i can see many of us are seeking for the right hardware for vdr, so i am. i want to start some discussion about the upcoming Sony PS3 as an vdr client on steroids. as it will support linux out of the box, it seams logical to, at least, think about it. i came to the following pro/contra list: pro: it supports HD (and Blue-Ray), is small and living room ready, comes with linux, has powerful CPU, you get a gameconsole for free ;-) contra: gets hot, likly DRM locked in some regards, it's a sony the last point may be even not so bad, as sony loses money on each selled device. so what do others think about this idea? anything i have not thought about that makes it even impossible to run vdr (or some other softdevice client) on the PS3? best regards ... clemens

FF card AV sync problems, possible fix to VDR (fwd)

Oh, well. Turns out that I had somehow failed to install the new firmware properly. My test patch is possibly not needed at all. Ville

PANIC: watchdog timer expired - exiting
by Unknown Unknown 03 Dec '07

03 Dec '07

Hi, With vdr 1.4.5 + dvd, dvdselect and subtitles plugins I sometimes get the following when vdr tries to set the System time. May 31 20:23:35 localhost vdr: [3405] switching to channel 1 May 31 20:23:35 localhost vdr: [3405] timer 1 (3 2056-2210 'News') set to event Thu 31.05.2007 21:00-22:00 'News' May 31 20:23:38 localhost vdr: [3413] System Time = Thu May 31 20:23:38 2007 (1180632218) May 31 20:23:38 localhost vdr: [3413] Local Time = Thu May 31 20:19:37 2007 (1180631977) May 31 20:21:01 localhost vdr: [3405] PANIC: watchdog timer expired - exiting! Could vdr turn off the watchdog before it sets the system time, if that is the problem?

vdr-1.5.9 and ttxtsubs patch/plugin
by Luca Olivetti 05 Sep '07

05 Sep '07

Hello, I downloaded the patch for both vdr and the ttxtsubs plugin from Rolf's page, but the subtitles aren't showing. With a quick look (and I remark "quick" so I may be wrong) it seems that the patches now don't change anymore the osd but use the new osd level in vdr-1.5.9. I'd like to know if the new patch is supposed to be working, or the cause the subtitles aren't showing is my hurriedly patched dxr3 and xine plugins. If the latter, do you have any hint on how to correctly implement osd level in said plugins? Bye -- Luca

Mid range CPU choice
by covert covert 05 Sep '07

05 Sep '07

About to step into the deep end and build my first VDR box. In fact 2 of them at the same time both with the exact same specs. All parts are going to be new. New CPU's are a lot more confusing than the simple days of single cores at fixed clockspeeds. My question is what CPU should I chose for good noise reducing , heat reducing solutions. For processing power and cost I am looking at AMD AM2 4000 and Intel Duel Core E2140 and Intel core2 Duo E4400. I am open to other suggestions as long as they can currently be purchased in store. Since the system will be spending 95% of it's time idle I want a CPU that can drop down to the slowest possible clock speed with the least power consumption. I will also be using temperature controlled fans to keep it real quiet and any other ways I can find to drop down power and noise. Advice on the best CPU choice would be much appreciated.
