[ANNOUNCE] VDR developer version 1.5.14
by Klaus Schmidinger 29 Jan '08

29 Jan '08

VDR developer version 1.5.14 is now available at ftp://ftp.cadsoft.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-1.5.14.tar.bz2 A 'diff' against the previous developer version is available at ftp://ftp.cadsoft.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-1.5.13-1.5.14.diff 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 1.5.13: - Fixed the Play … [View More]function in the pictures plugin. - Updated the Finnish OSD texts (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - Updated the Makefile of the skincurses plugin (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - The new option --localedir can be used to set the locale directory at runtime (based on a patch from Stefan Huelswitt). - Fixed finding new transponders (thanks to Winfried Köhler). - Implemented handling of DVB-S2 (thanks to Marco Schlüßler and Reinhald Nissl for a patch that was used to implement this). VDR now requires the "multiproto" DVB driver, e.g. from http://jusst.de/hg/multiproto. - Removed switching to the next higher or lower channel if the current channel is not available, in order to allow staying on an encrypted channel that takes a while for the CAM to start decrypting. IMPORTANT NOTE: =============== As of this version, VDR requires the new "multiproto" driver, as available, for instance, from http://jusst.de/hg/multiproto. It also uses additional transponder parameters, so a channels.conf file written with this version will not work with previous versions of VDR. Make sure you run this version in a separate environment, or make backups of your config files in case you want to go back to the previous version! So far, VDR supports DVB-S2 hardware and can tune to DVB-S2 transponders. It doesn't yet handle H.264 video PIDs, so it should be safe to tune to such a transponder even if you don't have a device that understands H.264. I am using this version in my regular VDR (with a FF-DVB-S, Budget-DVB-S and Budget-DVB-T card) and everything that used to work appears to still work fine. I was also able to record the AC3 audio track from ProSiebenHD with my TT-S2-3200 card and replay it on my FF-DVB-S card. I also successfully tested recording encrypted DVB-S channels with the TT-S2-3200, so apparently CAM handling also works with that card. *When reporting problems, please don't reply to this message!* Create a new thread instead, using a descriptive subject! Have fun! Klaus [View Less]

[PATCH] HVR4000(lite) support for multiproto
by Holger Steinhaus 29 Jan '08

29 Jan '08

Great thanks to Manu and Klaus for their latest updates. The attached patch adds HVR4000 support to it. It has been tested successfully together with kernel 2.6.24 on i686 using VDR 1.4.7 (DVB-S only) and VDR 1.5.14. Regards, Holger

xineliboutput with xxmc: slow OSD
by Ondrej Wisniewski 29 Jan '08

29 Jan '08

Hi, I am experimenting with xineliboutput using the xxmc video driver for the local sxfe frontend on an EPIA-M10000 board with CLE266. I have the OpenChrome Drivers installed. MPEG2 HW decoding seems usually to work, I get around 25% CPU usage. However, when I bring up VDRs OSD everything becomes painfully slow. Why is that? Are there any setup options I can use to make the OSD work decently? Thanks, -- Ondrej

[PATCH] Old DVB API patch for VDR-1.5.14
by Udo Richter 28 Jan '08

28 Jan '08

Hi list, Asking myself if I want to build kernels and drivers for 4 different PCs or try my luck with an old DVB API patch for vdr-1.5.14, I've chosen the latter. The attached patch implements fallback for VDR in case no multiproto DVB driver headers are available. I'm not really sure what I've been doing here, as I don't know the DVB API well enough, but at least my vdr-1.5.14 is running on old DVB drivers again. The patch is a bit hackish, and could probably be implemented a bit more … [View More]cleanly, but its a starting point. Cheers, Udo diff -Naur vdr-1.5.14-orig/channels.c vdr-1.5.14/channels.c --- vdr-1.5.14-orig/channels.c 2008-01-27 14:59:53.000000000 +0100 +++ vdr-1.5.14/channels.c 2008-01-27 21:03:04.000000000 +0100 @@ -11,6 +11,7 @@ #include <linux/dvb/frontend.h> #include <ctype.h> #include "device.h" +#include "dvb_api_emulate.h" #include "epg.h" #include "timers.h" diff -Naur vdr-1.5.14-orig/dvb_api_emulate.h vdr-1.5.14/dvb_api_emulate.h --- vdr-1.5.14-orig/dvb_api_emulate.h 1970-01-01 01:00:00.000000000 +0100 +++ vdr-1.5.14/dvb_api_emulate.h 2008-01-27 21:03:04.000000000 +0100 @@ -0,0 +1,106 @@ +/* + * dvb_api_emulate.h: The DVB device interface + * + * See the main source file 'vdr.c' for copyright information and + * how to reach the author. + * + * $Id: $ + */ + +#ifndef __DVB_API_EMULATE_H +#define __DVB_API_EMULATE_H + + +#if DVB_API_VERSION != 3 || DVB_API_VERSION_MINOR != 3 + +#define DVB_API_EMULATE + +enum dvbfe_delsys { + DVBFE_DELSYS_DVBS = (1 << 0), + DVBFE_DELSYS_DSS = (1 << 1), + DVBFE_DELSYS_DVBS2 = (1 << 2), + DVBFE_DELSYS_DVBC = (1 << 3), + DVBFE_DELSYS_DVBT = (1 << 4), + DVBFE_DELSYS_DVBH = (1 << 5), + DVBFE_DELSYS_ATSC = (1 << 6), + DVBFE_DELSYS_DUMMY = (1 << 31) +};

Hello, When I run vdr from the command line I get this message: "vdr: please turn off UTF-8 before starting VDR" How do I turn off UTF-8? Why would I want to? Can someone tell me how to fix it? I have just installed it using YUM rpm, and I am running Fedora 7 if that helps. Any help is appreciated, thank you much. Techno

cTS2PES got 2 TS errors, 2 TS continuity errors - Channel Not Available????

Hi I'm running vdr-1.5.12 with a TT-1500-C card, CI and alphacrypt multi-cam. All channels are encrypted. Intermittantly I try and switch to a channel and I get a "Channel not available" message. After switching back and forth between channels, finally the channel will select, and everything's ok. I've been trying to diagnose it, and so far all I can see is below: Jan 27 20:05:29 callin vdr: [3287] switching to channel 20 Jan 27 20:05:29 callin vdr: [3287] cTS2PES got 2 TS errors, 2 TS … [View More]
