Croatian translation for VDR and hello plugin
by Adrian C. 17 Mar '08

17 Mar '08

Hello, I took hr_HR.po from latest VDR rc announcement - vdr-1.5.18, and finished the translation, as well as fixed/changed many strings to try and make the translation more consistent with all the other FOSS translated to Croatian (among others this is also useful http://open-tran.eu/). I've been a user of VDR for a long time now and felt that at least I can do this to thank all the developers for their hard work. I'm also a translator of several other applications like gajim and comix so I have some little experience. I was unable to find POTFILES.in in this snapshot, so I trusted that the provided po files are in sync with all the strings of the program and I worked directly on the po file provided (please advise me of any mistakes). % msgfmt -v hr_HR.po 322 translated messages. % msgfmt -v hello/hr_HR.po 6 translated messages. Tarball is here: http://sysphere.org/~anrxc/vdr/hr_HR-vdr.tar -- JID:anrxc|sysphere|org | sysphere.org/~anrxc/

FF card AV sync problems, possible fix to VDR (fwd)

Oh, well. Turns out that I had somehow failed to install the new firmware properly. My test patch is possibly not needed at all. Ville

Streaming service (UDP streamdev and DLNA plugin)
by alexw 17 Mar '08

17 Mar '08

Dear VDR users, I did try to get info about 2 projects discussed here and in dvb forum in the past. At the moment I did not find any good status information. 1) The UDP client/server implementation for the streamdev plugin. It was planned to reduce the number of ack sent by the client on a wifi link. 2) The UPNP (DLNA) plugin implementation to turn VDR into a full IPTV server. If someone has more information.... Cheers, Alex

VDR multiple cards, multi-recording vdr-1-5-15
by Simon Baxter 17 Mar '08

17 Mar '08

I have 2 DVB-C cards in my system, a TT-1500C budget card and a TT-2300C-FF card and run vdr-1.5.15. The intention was with 2 cards there should always be a DVB resource available to watch/record channels on different transponders. Tonight I had 2 recording events both start at 20:30, on the same transponder. For some reason, each recording event started on a different card - so all my DVB resources were tied up!! ONE;T:618000:C0M64:C:6900:5011:5012=eng:5014:606:501:182:5:0 TV2;T:618000:C0M64:C:6900:5021:5022=eng:5024:606:502:182:5:0 Any ideas why this happenned, and how to avoid this happenning again? Can I make one card preferred as the recording card? Thanks Simon

Re: [vdr] How to change font data?

There was done some work at vdr-portal.de (thanks folks ;) ) But there comes the next problem. Until now, I use the space between 0x80 and 0x9f, which is marked as unused for ISO8859. But this does not work for UTF-8. Amair from vdr-portal.de suggests to use the position after 0xe000 for this case. So I need two different fonts and I have to check, if VDR is running in an UTF-8 environment and set the values for the icons accordingly. This hole TTF and UTF-8 crap makes the handling of the icons very complicated. Maybe it is the best for now to replace the icons with normal letters until VDR provides support icons. I don't want to dictate the users what font they have to use. Martin

Re: [vdr] xineliboutput and ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy)

It looks like the > dependencies are quite specific in what they want. Hi, Just tackled with this one myself... at least if you used the e-tobi repositories. There was a strange requirement for the library version, I think it was something like libxine => 1.1.12 libxine << 1.1.13. If anyone knows what is so terribly wrong with later libxine, please let me know... What I did, was I just edited out the latter requirement from the debian/control file, and a couple of others (can't remember what they were, but there were about 4-5 files in the debian directory with the requirement setting). Compilation went well with libxine 1.1.17 and the plugin and the frontends work fine. -- Best Regards, Timo ------------ timo.laitinen(a)utu.fi FABRICATI DIEM, PVNK.

2GB file sizes and cutting recordings
by Florian Gleixner 16 Mar '08

16 Mar '08

Hi, i use dvbcut to cut my recordings. After cutting i can rename the resulting mpg file to 001.vdr, delete the index file and run genindex and then i have a perfect cutted recording. This works well for all recordings that are smaller than 2GB. If the file is > 2GB, i tried to concat the 001.vdr 002.vdr ... files and use dvbcut to make a new 001.vdr. Unfortunately vdr does not like files > 2GB. But i also canot use split -b 2097152000 to make new vdr files, because it would not split at GOP. Or is that not needed? It would be easier if vdr could handle files > 2GB - and tools like genindex too. Handling these files for playback would be enough for me. Or is there another preferred method cutting files? I dont want to use vdrs cutter because my remote does not really work well and i read that i can only cut every iframe. dvbcuts sliders are really easy to handle :-) Thanks! Flo

[ANNOUNCE] vdr-rotor support patches for VDR-1.5.16
by Reinhard Nissl 15 Mar '08

15 Mar '08

Hi, the attached patch replaces the previously released but incomplete patch for VDR-1.5.14, which was part of my recent rotor support patches. You have to apply this patch after patching VDR-1.5.16 with DVB-S2+H.264 support. Bye. -- Dipl.-Inform. (FH) Reinhard Nissl mailto:rnissl@gmx.de
