Use of vdr within TV companies?
by Hanno Zulla 14 Jun '08

14 Jun '08

Hi, are there known users of vdr within TV or radio operators? There was a claim that some TV stations use vdr to archive their broadcast stream and another that vdr is used by cable companies as part of their infrastructure. Are there any references / citations for this? Thanks, Hanno

FF dvb card and unknown picture type errors
by syrius.ml＠no-log.org 12 Jun '08

12 Jun '08

Am I the only one to still have those kind of errors ? In fact I'm not using the output of my ff card and I'm wondering if any hack would allow to transform it into a budget card ? I'm not sure to understand what the dvb tt budget patch does. ( http://linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/DVB_TT_Budget_Patch ) Would it prevent the card to crash ? (in fact it's the arm that crashes, isn't it ?) My budget card doesn't crash even in case of really bad reception/weather. Is there something i can do to … [View More]

Improve SVDRP GRAB ...
by Herbert Poetzl 11 Jun '08

11 Jun '08

Greetings!

Hi i try to run MPlayer on my vdr 170 + mplayer-plugin from HG + vdr-xine (if it possible) in mplayer.sh I have written #!/bin/sh CMDLINE="mplayer -fs -vo xv -ao alsa -cache 4096 -slave -nolirc -quiet" DISPLAY=:0.0 $CMDLINE "$1" |logger exit but after the start of reply some file with mplayer-plugin I have resume: resume file is '/mnt/asp/video/hdtv/.mplayer.resume' resume: assuming empty resume file [VO_XV] Could not grab port 65.

Hello If I have a DVB-S FF cDevice::NumDevices return "0" cDevice::PrimaryDevice->DeviceNumber() return "0" phisical dvb adapter is "0".

update 1.4 to 1.6 -> cutting recordings makes vdr unresponsive
by Hanno Zulla 09 Jun '08

09 Jun '08

Hi, I have updated my vdr: Old: Celeron 850 MHz, 256 MB Ram, very slow but silent PATA disk, Debian, vdr 1.4.x (e-tobi) New: AMD Athlon X2 2,1 GHz, 2 GB Ram, standard SATA disk, Ubuntu, vdr 1.6.x (self-compiled from e-tobi's repository) The hardware should be much faster now, but vdr turns very slow and unresponsive whenever it cuts a recording in the background. vdr reacts to a button on the remote with notable delay. (I don't remember this behaviour with the old vdr setup.) Any idea … [View More]

False timer conflict
by Martin Emrich 08 Jun '08

08 Jun '08

Hi! I saw these in my syslog: Jun 7 10:12:01 sauron vdr: [5433] info: 1 timer conflict(s)! First at 11.06 00:19. Show them? Jun 7 10:42:00 sauron vdr: [5433] info: 1 timer conflict(s)! First at 11.06 00:19. Show them? At the time this recording is scheduled, only one of my two cards would be in use. The recording was scheduled by EPGSearch on an encrypted channel, where I don't have a smartcard/CAM/whatever for. I'll therefore delete the timer entry, but maybe the error message could say … [View More]

Hello, just found out at http://code.google.com/soc/2008/xorg/appinfo.html?csaid=ACD6AA025594454A that : "he purpose of this project is to produce a video decoding solution for GPUs that are supported by the Gallium3D driver framework. The project will attempt to implement the XvMC API using the programmable pipeline of a typical GPU, thereby providing accelerated video decoding to a wide variety of hardware. Since the decoding will be implemented using the GPU's programmable pipeline, it is … [View More]
