no channel update on vdr 1.7.0
by spe＠sdmonv.com 22 May '08

22 May '08

Hello, I had a 1.5.13 running for a while on a nexus FF. I did install a second card, S2-3200, together with the multiproto driver and vdr 1.7.0, without patches at this moment, because I am not interested in HD at this time. I am just looking to have 2 cards working to be able to stream on several vdr clients and use the output of my FF card. The S2 card is on astra, and the FF on hotbird I started with a clean vdrconf directory, and with a channel.conf with only 1 entry (TV5) on hotbird. I hoped that vdr would scan new channels, but it did only for a few. After starting the first time, it scanned about 10 new channels and stops there. In the DVB menu, update stands on add new transponder I did try with an other channel.conf. I can see every FTA channel on hotbird, but I have a black screen on astra (nothing as channel not available). The log doesnt learn me something either. In fact the log is flooded by kernel messages about stb6100 that get_frequence and bandwith. The frequence are always the same. -why is the autoscan not working ? Do I need some transponder file ? -how can I check the signal on my S2-3200 card ? -how can I reduce the logs from stb6100 ? -do I need to apply a concurrent recording patch to be able to stream 2 or more signals ? thanks for your help sp

((last try)) dvd plugin async problems
by Halim Sahin 22 May '08

22 May '08

Hello List, I can't play back my own created dvd's since I am using the latest test firmware for my ff dvb-s card. Dvd playback starts and after some minutes it in not in sync and audio stutters. Playing the same dvd with mplayer over dvb output works fine but the dvd plugin has more features so I want to use it. E. G. Mplayer can't play ac3 over dvb. Is there a chance to get this work? __Please__ help. With Regards Halim

VDR 1.7.0 - Patched for S2-3200 - Diseqc.conf
by Jelle De Loecker 22 May '08

22 May '08

Hello everyone, I've finally gotten VDR to work with my Technotrend S2-3200 card, but I just can't seem to get this diseqc.conf file right! I'm trying to understand all the tutorials and howto's, but since they're in German ... S19.2E 11700 V 9750 [E0 10 38 F0] S19.2E 99999 V 10600 [E0 10 38 F1] S19.2E 11700 H 9750 [E0 10 38 F2] S19.2E 99999 H 10600 [E0 10 38 F3] S28.2E 11700 V 9750 [E0 10 38 F4] S28.2E 99999 V 10600 [E0 10 38 F5] S28.2E 11700 H 9750 [E0 10 38 F6] S28.2E 99999 H 10600 [E0 10 38 F7] I have a diseqc 2.0 switch, but since the S2-3200 card only supports Diseqc 1.2 I'm not really sure what to use! Thank you, Jelle De Loecker

Building VDR 1.7.0 - skincurses error?
by Jelle De Loecker 22 May '08

22 May '08

Good day everyone, I've decided to use VDR 1.7.0 on my linux box, together with my Technotrend S2-3200 DVB-S2 card. Now, it's quite hard to find a decent tutorial on how to compile VDR from source, but at least I found this in the wiki: http://www.vdr-wiki.de/wiki/index.php/OpenSUSE_VDR_DVB-S2_-_xine It's german, and I don't completely understand it, but I wrestled through it. Right up to the point where I need to compile the plugins! ... skincurses.c: In member function ‘virtual bool cPluginSkinCurses::Initialize()’: skincurses.c:793: error: ‘WINDOW’ was not declared in this scope skincurses.c:793: error: ‘w’ was not declared in this scope skincurses.c:793: error: ‘initscr’ was not declared in this scope make[1]: *** [skincurses.o] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/src/vdr/PLUGINS/src/skincurses' ... make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/local/src/vdr/PLUGINS/src/svdrpdemo' make[1]: Nothing to be done for `all'. make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/src/vdr/PLUGINS/src/svdrpdemo' *** failed plugins: skincurses make: *** [plugins] Error 1 What could be causing this and how can I fix it? I'm using LinuxMCE 0710 - Kernel 2.6.22-14-generic Thank you for your patience, Jelle De Loecker

Compiling VDR on Linuxmce 0710 using Multiproto march revision
by skerit＠kipdola.com 21 May '08

21 May '08

Hello everyone, I'm trying to install VDR on my linuxmce machine. There's a catch, though: I can only use the regular multiproto drivers from a few weeks ago since the new ones (and the multiproto plus driver) won't "detect" my DVB-S2 S2-3200 card. The multiproto drivers I'm trying to use are a few months old, from march, and they're the only ones who will work. (I can use szap with them, anyway) The problem is, when I try to compile VDR using this tutorial (http://www.vdr-wiki.de/wiki/index.php/OpenSUSE_VDR_DVB-S2_-_xine_-_Teil3) I get this error message: g++ -g -O2 -Wall -Woverloaded-virtual -Wno-parentheses -c -DREMOTE_KBD -DLIRC_DEVICE=\"/dev/lircd\" -DRCU_DEVICE=\"/dev/ttyS1\" -D_GNU_SOURCE -DVIDEODIR=\"/video\" -DCONFDIR=\"/video\" -DPLUGINDIR=\"./PLUGINS/lib\" -DLOCDIR=\"./locale\" -I/usr/include/freetype2 -I/opt/dvb/multiproto/linux/include dvbdevice.c dvbdevice.c: In member function ?bool cDvbTuner::SetFrontend()?: dvbdevice.c:302: error: ?DVBFE_SET_DELSYS? was not declared in this scope make: *** [dvbdevice.o] Error 1 Which I think indicates it's some kind of problem between VDR and the old drivers, is this correct? I pointed to the correct DVBDIR in the Make.config file so ... How can I fix it?

vdr-1.6.0 channel not available
by Simon Baxter 20 May '08

20 May '08

Hello I have 2x DVB-C cards with Alphacrypt multi-cams. A TT-1500-C budget card and a TT-2300-C FF card and run vdr-xine. When recording one channel and attempting to watch another in the same transport stream, or trying to switch to another transport stream (and hence card) I get "channel not available" messages. After switching back and forth to other transport streams, usually I can overcome this problem. But occasionally I it won't play any channels in one specific transport stream or another. What's the best way to diagnose this? How do I enable debugging to see more info than is displayed in messages: Apr 24 18:53:56 callin vdr: [7375] switching to channel 8 Apr 24 18:53:56 callin vdr: [30940] transfer thread started (pid=7375, tid=30940) Apr 24 18:53:57 callin vdr: [30939] femon receiver thread ended (pid=7375, tid=30939) Apr 24 18:53:57 callin vdr: [30941] femon receiver thread started (pid=7375, tid=30941) Apr 24 18:53:58 callin vdr: [30940] setting audio track to 1 (0) Apr 24 18:54:04 callin vdr: [7375] switching to channel 9 Apr 24 18:54:04 callin vdr: [30940] transfer thread ended (pid=7375, tid=30940) Apr 24 18:54:04 callin vdr: [7375] buffer stats: 47564 (2%) used Apr 24 18:54:04 callin vdr: [7375] info: Channel not available!

vdr-1.7.0 and reelchannelscan-1.6 plugin
by Mike Booth 20 May '08

20 May '08

I am unable to compile this plugin. It fails with csmenu.c:236: error: 'class cDevice' has no member named 'ProvidesS2'. Can anyone provide any info that might help. I've scanned everywhere for mention of "ProvidesS2" with no luck. I'm using vdr-1.7.0, multiproto_plus and the reelchannelscan plugin is from CVS Mike

Converting from UTF-8 to ISO-8859-1
by Joachim Wilke 20 May '08

20 May '08

Dear experts, I am currently trying to convert a string to ISO-8859-1 using the following code fragment: cCharSetConv conv(NULL, "ISO-8859-1"); const char *s_converted = conv.Convert(string); Running VDR with UTF-8, this conversion failes (i.e., s_converted == string). This is due to the fact, that cCharSetConv::SystemCharacterTable contains "NULL" instead of "UTF-8". This is because systemCharacterTable is never set: void cCharSetConv::SetSystemCharacterTable(const char *CharacterTable) { free(systemCharacterTable); systemCharacterTable = NULL; if (!strcasestr(CharacterTable, "UTF-8")) { .. systemCharacterTable = strdup(CharacterTable); } } Is there a reason for this? The conversion works fine, if I use "UTF-8" instead of "NULL": cCharSetConv conv("UTF-8", "ISO-8859-1"); Best Regards, Joachim.
