DVB-C radio problems
by Malte Forkel 15 Mar '08

15 Mar '08

Hi, I'm having problems listening to DVB-C radio channels with a 44.1 kHz sampling rate. Watching and recording television works just fine, as does listening to radio channels with a 48.0 kHz sampling rate. But when switching from any of those channels to a radio channels with a 44.1 kHz sampling rate, it sometimes takes 20 to 30 seconds before there is any sound. And when switching from one 44.1 kHz sampled radio channel to another, its sound is heavily distorted. If that should matter: Some radio channels with a 48.0 kHz sampling rate are encrypted, most are not. All radio channels with a 44.1 sampling rate are encrypted. I'm running vdr 1.4.7-4ctvdr1 on a Debian Etch server with three DVB-C cards: a Hauppauge WinTV FF Rev. 2.1, a Terratec Cinergy 1200 budget w/ KNC CineView CI module, and a second Terratec Cinergy 1200. Any video/audio output is done by the FF card. How can I straighten this out? Thanks, Malte

Problems with V1.3 FF Card and Film 4 Channel
by Brian 15 Mar '08

15 Mar '08

Hi, I have a V1.3 FF card that I needed to remove from my VDR as it caused problems while trying to record from Film4. I'm currently testing the card in another PC. It can tune to and record from Hi + Lo and H+V channels. But when I tune to anothe channel on the same transponder I get: Mar 11 17:46:36 brian vdr: [6802] frontend 0 timed out while tuning to channel 1183, tp 210729 Mar 11 17:47:40 brian vdr: [6802] frontend 0 timed out while tuning to channel 1183, tp 210729 Mar 11 17:48:44 brian vdr: [6802] frontend 0 timed out while tuning to channel 1183, tp 210729 Mar 11 17:49:48 brian vdr: [6802] frontend 0 timed out while tuning to channel 1183, tp 210729 Now the info for Film 4 in channels.conf is the following: Film4 +1;BSkyB:10729:vC56:S28.2E:22000:2329+2309:2330=eng,2331=NAR:2332:0:8330:2:2042:0 Film4;BSkyB:10729:vC56:S28.2E:22000:2311+2308:2312=eng,2313=NAR:2314:0:8335:2:2042:0 Plus some other on the same transponder: E4+1;BSkyB:10729:vC56:S28.2E:22000:2336+2305:2337=eng,2338=NAR:2339:960,961:8300:2:2042:0 E4;BSkyB:10729:vC56:S28.2E:22000:2321+2306:2322=eng,2323=NAR:2324:960,961:8305:2:2042:0 More4 +1;BSkyB:10729:vC56:S28.2E:22000:2345+2307:2346=eng,2347=NAR:2348:960,961:8310:2:2042:0 FF TEST1;BSkyB:10729:vC56:S28.2E:22000:2311+2308:2312=eng:2314:0:8336:2:2042:0 Only FF Test seems to be FTA. This is a pretty low frequency. Could that be the problem? In my VDR the replacemnt card, a budget Nova-S seems to be quite happily recording Film 4 so my Multiswitch and LNB seem to be OK. What is strangle is that although Filem 4 is on 10729, the message says: Mar 11 17:49:48 brian vdr: [6802] frontend 0 timed out while tuning to channel 1183, tp 210729 <------- ??????? Does that mean anything? Still using VDR 1.3.24, but this was tested on 1.4.7.Hoping to go straight to 1.6 if possible. Cheers Brian

xineliboutput and ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy)
by Rob Davis 13 Mar '08

13 Mar '08

I have installed 1.5.17 (i think) of vdr (from the experimental apt repository) however I can't get xineliboutput compiled as it's complaining that it can't find a valid libxine. It looks like the dependencies are quite specific in what they want. Will try to provide more info tomorrow when I'm at work and can check better, but has anyone else resolved this? -- Latest news on http://www.streetcredo.org.uk/rob Rob Davis

Hearing-impaired DVB subtitles
by Kimmo Taskinen 11 Mar '08

11 Mar '08

Hi, I switched recently to vdr 1.5 series and noticed an annoying feature/ bug with DVB subtitles that was not present in vdr 1.4 series using subtitles plugin. The problem is that the subtitles for hearing impaired people are shown when watching recorded show. They are not shown if I watch the same program as direct broadcast. Isn't there any way (except completely disable subtitles) disable hearing impaired subtitles? I'm curently using 1.5.17 version with ttxtsubs and liemikuutio patches. My language selection in DVB setup menu is "suomi" (finnish) for both Audio and Subtitle language. Cheers, Kimmo

sub channel numbering system
by Timothy D. Lenz 11 Mar '08

11 Mar '08

Would it be possible to add support for the subchannel numbering system used with ATSC? Exmple of the channels in our area: 4 KVOA 4.1 KVOAD 6 KUAT 6.1 KUATD1 6.2 KUATK 6.3 KUATV 6.4 KUATC 9 KGUN 9.1 KGUND 11 KMSB 11.1 KMSBH 13 KOLD 13.1 KOLD-DT 14 KUDF 18 KTTU 18.1 KTTUDT 27 KUAS 27.1 KUASHD 34 KFTU 38 KUVE 40 KHRR 40.1 KHRR-DT 48 K48GX 58 KWBA 58.1 KWBA-DT 58.2 LATV All the x.x channels are the new ATSC channels, rest are old NTSC most of which, but not all, will be shut down in a year. For ATSC .1 is the primary channel and .2, .3, etc are the sub channels. The "#" on the remote could be used for the "." In the channels.conf an ATSC next channel number would look like: :@13.1
