EPG for Hotbird / russian programmes
by Harald Milz 23 Dec '08

23 Dec '08

Hi, now that my VDR works fine with 2 satellites thanks to the help of some kind folks here and the SourceCaps patch (did I mention it should be in the mainstream VDR?) I have now a couple of FTA programmes in russian language for my better half :-) The only problem is, none of these programmes carry any EPG information. The schedules are available on the web sites, mostly. Has somebody written a plugin that retrieves the schedules and creates proper EPG data from them? I might but not too … [View More]

Converting H264 vdr 1.7.0 recordings to xvid (or x264) in avi container
by dplu＠free.fr 24 Nov '08

24 Nov '08

Hi I have a little question about vdr recording format when in H264 (BBC HD), currently I can convert with mencoder my recording made from my HD terminal after converting trp to ts. When I try to mplayer the same vdr recording (ie 001.vdr) it find no video track. I can only see them with xine from vdr or from command line Does anybody has successfully convert those records ? Thanks for help VDR 1.7.0 + S2/H264 patch Mencoder : MEncoder 1.0-1.rc1.20.2plf2008.0-4.2.2 (C) 2000-2006 MPlayer Team … [View More]

RGB/PAL over VGA at variable frame rate
by Thomas Hilber 27 Sep '08

27 Sep '08

Hi list, the last few days I made some interesting experiences with VGA cards I now want to share with you. goal ---- develop a budget card based VDR with PAL/RGB output and FF like output quality problem ------- as we all know current VGA graphics output quality suffers from certain limitations. Graphics cards known so far operate at a fixed frame rate not properly synchronized with the stream. Thus fields or even frames do often not appear the right time at the ouput. Some are doubled … [View More]others are lost. Finally leading to more or less jerky playback. To a certain degree you can workaround this by software deinterlacing. At the cost of worse picture quality when playing interlaced material. Also CPU load is considerably increased by that. It appeared to be a privilege of so called full featured cards (expensive cards running proprietary firmware) to output true RGB PAL at variable framerate. Thus always providing full stream synchronicity. I've always been bothered by that and finally started to develop a few patches with the goal in mind to overcome these VGA graphics limitations. solution -------- graphics cards basically are not designed for variable frame rates. Once you have setup their timing you are not provided any means like registers to synchronize the frame rate with external timers. But that's exactly what's needed for signal output to stay in sync with the frame rate provided by xine-lib or other software decoders. To extend/reduce the overall time between vertical retrace I first dynamically added/removed a few scanlines to the modeline but with bad results. By doing so the picture was visibly jumping on the TV set. After some further experimenting I finally found a solution to fine adjust the frame rate of my elderly Radeon type card. This time without any bad side effects on the screen. Just trimming the length of a few scanlines during vertical retrace period does the trick. Then I tried to implement the new functionality by applying only minimum changes to my current VDR development system. Radeon DRM driver is perfectly suited for that. I just had to add a few lines of code there. I finally ended up in a small patch against Radeon DRM driver and a even smaller one against xine-lib. The last one also could take place directly in the Xserver. Please see attachments for code samples. When xine-lib calls PutImage() it checks whether to increase/decrease Xservers frame rate. This way after a short adaption phase xine-lib can place it's PutImage() calls right in the middle between 2 adjacent vertical blanking intervals. This provides maximum immunity against jitter. And even better: no more frames/fields are lost due to stream and graphics card frequency drift. Because we now cease from any deinterlacing we enjoy discontinuation of all its disadvantages: If driving a device with native interlaced input (e.g. a traditional TV Set or modern TFT with good RGB support) we have no deinterlacing artifacts anymore. Since softdecoders now are relieved of any CPU intensive deinterlacing we now can build cheap budget card based VDRs with slow CPUs. Please find attached 2 small patches showing you the basic idea and a description of my test environment. The project is far from complete but even at this early stage of development shows promising results. It should give you some rough ideas how to recycle your old hardware to a smoothly running budget VDR with high quality RGB video output. some suggestions what to do next: - detection of initial field parity - faster initial frame rate synchronisation after starting replay - remove some hard coded constants (special dependencies on my system's timing) Some more information about the project is also available here http://www.vdr-portal.de/board/thread.php?threadid=78480 Currently it's all based on Radeons but I'll try to also port it to other type of VGA cards. There will be some updates in the near future. stay tuned. -Thomas [View Less]

vdr on PS3
by Clemens Kirchgatterer 20 Sep '08

20 Sep '08

i can see many of us are seeking for the right hardware for vdr, so i am. i want to start some discussion about the upcoming Sony PS3 as an vdr client on steroids. as it will support linux out of the box, it seams logical to, at least, think about it. i came to the following pro/contra list: pro: it supports HD (and Blue-Ray), is small and living room ready, comes with linux, has powerful CPU, you get a gameconsole for free ;-) contra: gets hot, likly DRM locked in some regards, it's a sony … [View More]

vdr-1.5.18 subtitles issue
by matthieu castet 10 Sep '08

10 Sep '08

Hi, I tried subtitle features and I saw some problems (I am using vdr-1.5.18 with softdevice and streamdev). First auto channel update is need : there no way to save subtitle pid in channel.conf. I haven't info about this on the manual and it takes me some time how to make it works. Next osd behaviour is weird : as soon as subtitle is started, when it will refresh it will mess up with other osd. For example if I start subtitle and then go to the menu, the menu will be clear by subtitle … [View More]
