VDR Plugin Survey 2008
by Tobi 04 Dec '08

04 Dec '08

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]

xineliboutput OSD and playback problems
by Alex Betis 03 Dec '08

03 Dec '08

Hi, Please advice how to configure xineliboutput in the best way... I have 1.7.1 + ext64 patches, xineliboutput 1.0.3, nVidia card with latest drivers. After many tests I have the following: Using --hud gives best OSD I ever seen, but it shows only the OSD when the output window is in focus and no playback. When I select another window (loose focus), I see the playback, but this way I can't control it... Using opengl video output gives me the best playback quality with lowest CPU usage, but … [View More]

Where can I download the H.264 patch from? I can't find it on Google. My card is only DVB-S, not DVB-S2; do I need the s2api patch as well? -- TH * http://www.realh.co.uk

xineliboutput - invalid data
by Alex Betis 30 Nov '08

30 Nov '08

Hi, I'm trying to configure xineliboutput 1.0.3 with VDR 1.7.1. Compilation and installation seems to go ok, but playback doesn't work. I can see OSD in opened window, but when it gets to the channel itself CPU usage jumps to 100% and the log contains: Nov 30 01:24:17 htpc vdr: [13512] [xine..put] cXinelibDevice::PlayAny: invalid data !

Sky/Freesat EPG
by Tony Houghton 29 Nov '08

29 Nov '08

VDR isn't fetching EPG info for my DVB-S channels. At best it shows what's on now and next but many channels seem to have no data at all. My dish is a Sky minidish, so I presume I don't have diseqc. To "seed" channels.conf I used the scan utility from linuxtv-dvb-apps, with the initial tuning files for Astra-28.2E and Eurobird1-28.5E because I read that's where Freesat is broadcast from. I noticed that the provider for all the channels is listed as "BSkyB", so does this mean I'm getting "… [View More]
