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 …
[View More]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

Hello list.
As the subject already says, this is about VDR portability, or how to get
VDR up and running on a FreeBSD system.
In times where we have such really nice plugins like softdevice and
streamdev, we no longer need real MPEG2 or DVB hardware in a VDR system.
As i want to use my FreeBSD systems to watch TV or play VDR recordings i
decided to give porting VDR to FreeBSD a try.
Attached you can find the results.
In short terms: It simply …
[View More]works!
The only missing feature right now is, starting VDR as root and switching
to another user (-u command line option).
For now it is possible to watch any recording made by a VDR with real
hardware if the video directory is directly accessible over the network
(mountable by the client) or the use the streamdev plugin to stream VDR to
VDR.
All tests where done using a Linux system with two FF-DVB-S devices,
streamdev-server plugin and NFS exported video directory plus a wired and
a wireless FreeBSD-7.0 client running VDR with streamdev-client and
softdevice plugin.
As far as i could test the whole setup until now, everything works the
same way on FreeBSD as it does under Linux and i now have real
channel-hopping.
The patches are made in a way that a patched VDR will still compile under
Linux. Every modification, to the source or to the Makefiles is ifdef'd
out. So unless you say you want to compile VDR for FreeBSD you have an
unmodified version of source.
In case the ML software strips the attachments, the files are also
available for download at: ftp://ftp.frm2.tum.de/pub/jpulz/VDR/
Thoughts or comments from others are welcome.
regards
Joerg

I've read that ITV HD can only be viewd by pressing the red button on a
Freesat receiver. Does this mean VDR can't access it?

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 …
[View More]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!

Hello dear VDR users and developers!
I've started a small survey about VDR and the VDR plug-ins and kindly ask
you to participate.
http://e-tobi.net/survey/
The main reason for this survey is, that there are currently more than 300
plug-ins available for VDR (according to the English and German VDR Wiki).
That's a lot!
As a member of the Debian VDR packaging project (we currently just have
about 120 plug-ins packaged), I would like to know, which are the plug-ins
that are really used and …
[View More]which are the ones that aren't used at all.
As a result of this survey, we would like to drop Debian packaging support
for some of the rarely and not used plug-ins that are not maintained by
their authors anymore and identify interesting plug-ins that might be good
candidates for an official release in Lenny +1 .
This survey is not just about the Debian VDR packages. It's main focus is
on VDR and VDR plug-ins in general and I hope, it will be useful for other
distribution maintainers and developers as well.
I will make the results and all the collected data available to the public
under the terms of the Creative Commons Licence (CC-BY-SA), after the
survey has been finished.
The survey is completely anonymous! You have to register with an email
address and a password, but they will only be stored as an SHA hash in the
database and will be randomized once more, before the data is made
available to the public. The survey will not send any emails or do other
nasty stuff!
If you have any problems with the survey or your are missing a plug-in,
just write me a small note to: vdr-plugin-survey-2008(a)e-tobi.net
Thanks for your participation!

Hi
I have a little question about vdr recording format when in H264 (BBC HD),

Does anybody has successfully convert those records ?
Thanks for help

Hi
I use the solution here :
http://www.vdrportal.de/board/thread.php?threadid=73791
You can use mpeg_ps_extract to transform the vdr file in separate file .264
plus several audio file
When extracted, any soft like mencoder can convert them
Best regards
