[PATCH] DVB API wrapper patch v0.2 for VDR-1.5.14
by Udo Richter 04 Feb '08

04 Feb '08

Hi list, Based on the original DVB API patch of last week, I've done a cleaner rewrite of the patch. This time, the changes to the VDR sources are limited to a few #includes and replacements of ioctl calls by the new DVBFE_ioctl wrapper call. All the magic goes into this API wrapper, that translates multiproto calls into DVB 3.0 API calls. There's also more control on the behavior. Adding DEFINES += -DDVB_MULTIPROTO_WRAPPER=1 to Make.config will enforce the API translation even if the multiproto API is present, setting it =0 will disable API translation, requiring the multiproto API to be present. By default, the present API is automatically detected, and the wrapper is enabled accordingly. The patch currently doesn't translate the whole API, just the parts that are used by VDR. But if required, the missing parts can surely be integrated. Cheers, Udo diff -Nu vdr-1.5.14/channels.c vdr-1.5.14-wrapper/channels.c --- vdr-1.5.14/channels.c 2008-01-27 14:59:53.000000000 +0100 +++ vdr-1.5.14-wrapper/channels.c 2008-02-02 23:37:38.000000000 +0100 @@ -11,6 +11,7 @@ #include <linux/dvb/frontend.h> #include <ctype.h> #include "device.h" +#include "dvb_api_wrapper.h" #include "epg.h" #include "timers.h" diff -Nu vdr-1.5.14/dvb_api_wrapper.c vdr-1.5.14-wrapper/dvb_api_wrapper.c --- vdr-1.5.14/dvb_api_wrapper.c 1970-01-01 01:00:00.000000000 +0100 +++ vdr-1.5.14-wrapper/dvb_api_wrapper.c 2008-02-02 23:57:09.000000000 +0100 @@ -0,0 +1,203 @@ +/* + * dvb_api_wrapper.c: + * Wrapper to translate Multiproto DVB API to DVB 3.0 API calls + * + * See the main source file 'vdr.c' for copyright information and + * how to reach the author. + * + * $Id: $ + */ + +#include "dvb_api_wrapper.h" +#include <string.h> +#include <errno.h> +#include <sys/ioctl.h> + +#ifdef DVB_MULTIPROTO_WRAPPER + +static bool TranslateCodeRate(fe_code_rate &oldfec, dvbfe_fec fec) { + switch (fec) { + case DVBFE_FEC_NONE: oldfec = FEC_NONE;

2 motorized dishes
by Füley István 04 Feb '08

04 Feb '08

I recently added to my single-FF-card VDR-box a second card, it's a TT-S2-3200. It's working fine with the multiproto dirvers and vdr-1.5.14, i can watch SDTV on the nexus-s' tv out or HDTV (quite well) via vdr-xine. I have one issue with my dishes. I know that few of the vdr users have motorized dish, well I have two of them :) The first one, a 1.8m prime focus is controlled fine with Diseqc 1.2 commands in diseqc.conf. But I have a second one connected to my S2-3200. Is there any way to control this motor via diseqc.conf? Thanks, Istvan PS. In my old vdr I had a nice patch, which allowed me to easily enter the recordings paths with the arrow keys, without typing the folder's name. I applied the liemikuutio patch to vdr-1.5.14 but i cannot find this feature. Where can I find this patch? -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

XXV & UTF-8
by Andrey Kuzmin 04 Feb '08

04 Feb '08

Hi! I'm trying to setup XXV (latest SVN version). Everything seems to run OK, except I could not see russian EPG and channel list. Texts look like: <tr> <td>Title</td> <td>ÐÐ£Ð§Ð¨ÐÐ ÐÐÐÐÐ¢Ð Ð®ÐÐ-2007</td> </tr> so they are HTML encoded. How to fix that? My system is Ubuntu 7.10 with russian locale, VDR 1.5.12

May be anyone could advice right direction to move? Thanks!

Klaus, For those of us not 100% up to date with the code, could you list for us the main changes we are voting for here? Also, some indication of any known compatibility issues that might arise (e.g. with Vdradmin, Vomp, Epgsearch... Thanks

Re: [vdr] Transfer-Mode without remux
by Martin Dauskardt 03 Feb '08

Hi Klaus, sending TS payload data directly to the device shouldn`t become a generally method. Please be aware that there are other output devices which can`t handle TS data. For example, the decoder of the PVR350 needs a multiplexed Audio/Video PES. Greets, Martin

vdr with control plugin and osd
by Sebastian Dellit 03 Feb '08

03 Feb '08

Hello vdr readers, I use the VDR with the e-tobi sources. To access the OSD I install the control-plugin. When I start the vdr manually all works fine, I can use the OSD e. g. on tty1. When I use the start-stop script from the installer I can't access the OSD. The options for the control plugin are correct but the start-stop-script hide the text OSD on tty1. :-( Is there are possibility to use the script with the control plugin? -- Best regards Sebastian ICQ: 264706583 | MSM: sebo(a)blinzeln.de | Skype: sebo_de | Yahoo: de_sebo E-Mail: sebo(a)blinzeln.de | Web: www.blindzeln.de
