VDR and "multiproto" - which driver to use?
by Klaus Schmidinger 17 May '08

17 May '08

I'm in the process of reintroducing the "multiproto" changes in order to start the 1.7 developer version. Since I haven't been following the driver development recently I was wondering if somebody could tell me which driver is best to use at this time. The one at http://jusst.de/hg/multiproto is like 4 weeks old, while at http://linuxtv.org/hg/~endriss/v4l-dvb-av7110-full-ts-mod there have been recent activities. I'd like to switch to a driver that works with "multiproto" and supports Oliver's full ts mod. Klaus

cvs xineliboutput
by syrius.ml＠no-log.org 07 May '08

07 May '08

Hi, I'm using vdr-1.6 and xineliboutput from cvs. I'm using it with freevo and vdr is controlled through xine-ui/vdr-sxfe by stdin. For instance I send "hitk Up" to vdr-sxfe or "EventUp" to xine-ui. Every so often when i change between channels xine-ui/vdr-sxfe stops displaying video+osd. I have to quit it and start it again. (but commands are still sent to vdr, if i press "up" 2 times while xine-ui/vdr-sxfe has stopped displaying anything, I can see vdr receiving the "up" events) I haven't tried to reverse patches, or to reproduce it without using stdin (--stdctl/--slave). Before I do so, I'm just asking if anybody has encountered this issue already. Cheers. --

Watching old recordings with DVB subtitles with 1.6.0
by Ville Skyttä 04 May '08

04 May '08

Hello, I have quite a few old recordings with DVB subtitles that were recorded and watchable with 1.4.x and the subtitles plugin. When replaying these with VDR 1.6.0, the subtitles aren't shown (new recordings made with 1.6.0 seem to be fine). I see there's some kind of a "compatibility mode for old subtitles plugin" in 1.6.0 sources, so I guess they should be. Thoughts?

VDR 1.7.0 & multiproto & hvr4000
by gimli 03 May '08

03 May '08

Some postings before i read about multiproto + hvr4000 and tuning problems. I had that problems myselfe. The problem is the inversion setting in the driver. It's a driver bug. At the moment i do not have my modified driver by hand. Will post it in later today. I did a mixuup between : http://www.linuxtv.org/pipermail/linux-dvb/2008-March/024487.html and http://www.mail-archive.com/linux-dvb@linuxtv.org/msg27438.html a patch i have done. c Edgar (gimli) Hucek

UPnP/DLNA server plugin?
by Teemu Suikki 03 May '08

03 May '08

Has anyone written a direct UPnP/DLNA plugin, to stream out VDR recordings and live TV to PS3 or XBOX 360? IMHO this would be a logical extension to the streamdev plugin. :) There is a good UPnP server available for linux, called Fuppes: http://fuppes.ulrich-voelkel.de/ Fuppes can be used to stream VDR recordings, but so far I haven't been able to get live video to work.. And even with recordings you need to use transcoding because PS3 doesn't like MPEG-PES. -- Teemu Suikki http://www.z-power.fi/

DVB-subtitles on VDR-1.6.0-1 stay on screen for too long
by Harri Kukkonen 02 May '08

02 May '08

Hi, after upgrading to from to VDR 1.6.0 I have noticed that the DVB-subtitles stay on screen for about one second too long. The difference is noticeable compared to 1.4.7 with subtitles-plugin. Problem exists on both live-viewing and record-viewing. I use Fujitsu-Siemens DVB-C FF-card as output. In addition I compared recordings of a same program from Finnish Yle TV1 and TV1+ (TV1 has DVB-subtitles, TV1+ is same channel with subtitles "burned in" to video), and subtitles stayed on the dvb-subtitled recording about one second longer compared to the "burned in" video version. Subtitles start time seemed to be same on both versions. I can provide both recordings for testing if needed. -- Harri

random freezes when using multiple vdr instances
by Matthias Kortstiege 02 May '08

02 May '08

Hello, since the upgrade to VDR version 1.6.0 the entire system will randomly freeze when using multiple instances of VDR. This issue could be reproduced by using the commandline switch -D to specify the DVB devices. Unfortunately there are no logs which could identify the problem .. it only freezes. Example: * vdr = "-D 0 -D 1" * vdrdevel = "-D 2 -D 3" I am running the very latest version from e-tobi (multipatch). vdrdevel is the same version as vdr, but repacked by using the buildpackage option SPECIAL_VDR_SUFFIX=devel. Using the older 1.5.13 setup with the same hardware (4x cinergy c ~ mantis) is working like charm. I don't think it is a driver / module problem, because running a single VDR instance with all devices attached to it won't crash. But when starting one instance which is only using two devices, the system will freeze .. even if there's no other vdr process running. Regards, Matthias

How to use VDR2VDR for h264 streaming?
by YUP 02 May '08

02 May '08

Hello, We (me and my friend from the States) have the following problem. My friend wants to watch tv programs from Europe, which I stream to him. Because my upload is not too big (about 0.5 megabits) we used externremux script together with stream-device plugin for vdr to encode stream with h264 codec and after that stream it into internet. I have to say that my friend was impressed, quality was really nice. Now we want more :-) It is so inconvenient to use web-interface for switching channels, search EPG etc. And here is our question: is it possible to use vdr-stream plugin to stream from one VDR (server) to another VDR( client) h264 encoded stream in the same way as it is implemented in VDR-2-VDR with mpeg2? I mean with remote menu, epg searching, switching channels. Regards, Yarema
