Windows remote client
by Alex Betis 24 Nov '08

24 Nov '08

Hello all, Is there a plugin for VDR (I use 1.7.1) that allows a windows based client to watch the channels remotely? What windows based clients can I use in that case? Is there a network overhead for watching a stream? I mean if the stream is 5Mbit, will it take 5Mbit of my network or the traffic will take more? In case the client is used with a small window that can't show the whole picture, will the network load be reduced? Thanks.

VDR -> S2API: 2 questions
by Klaus Schmidinger 23 Nov '08

23 Nov '08

After quite a while away from VDR development, I've dedicated this weekend to switching VDR to S2API (TS recording will be postponed). Just two quick questions: - Where do I find the ultimate, latest, greatest S2API driver source? I would assume it is at http://linuxtv.org/hg/v4l-dvb, but with all the recent patching and various repositories, I'm unsure... - Is there a patch available that implements the S2API changes into VDR? I've seen some postings about such a patch, but IIRC it … [View More]

e-tobi Debian VDR-Repository and lenny
by Nicolas Huillard 23 Nov '08

23 Nov '08

Hi, I'm currently upgrading most of my VDR systems (going to diskless NFS clients), using preferably prebuilt packages (so much easier to maintain than custom patched ones ;-). I was wondering what was the plan regarding the upcoming Debian lenny in e-tobi repo ? There are some packages I'd like to use from there : * xserver-xorg-video-openchrome : currently using xserver-xorg-video-via instead, but support seems to be much improved in openchrome * new kernel, for more hardware support (… [View More]

I confirm hang with femon (it is checked up on femon 1.6.2 and 1.6.3). Vladimir Monchenko.

VDR on Fedora recommended window manager
by Simon Baxter 23 Nov '08

23 Nov '08

Hi I'm running VDR-1.6.0 and vdr-xine on my Fedora 6 box, and am moving into Fedora 9. I've always had problems with a lack of real understanding on window managers, so have put up with GDM under Fedora 6, but Fedora 9 has some real nasty "clever" stuff that just simply needs disabling. Can anyone suggest a howto, or can guide me on how to circumvent this entirely? Basically I need to: 1) auto log into 'vdruser' 2) start xine That's it. Everything else is done behind the scenes, and … [View More]
