about the hvr-4000 tuning problems
by Mika Laitio 15 Jan '09

15 Jan '09

Hi I have tried to add some more printouts to dvbdevice.c for trying to understand why the vdr-1.7.x fails to tune to dvb-s or dvb-s2 channels. hvr-1300 is in /dev/dvb/adapter0 and hvr-4000 is in /dev/dvb/adapter1 I added printouts to SetFrontEnd() and Action() methods. In SetFrontEnd() method it seems that the code is at least always going to correct if/else block. (No, diseq, dvb-t, dvb-s or dvb-s2 depending on what channel I try to tune) If I watch dvb-t channel (which works), I can see a following logs: Action(): cardIndex: 0, tunerStatus: 1, NewStatus: 0 SetFrontEnd(): DVB-T, fd_frontend: 4, cardIndex: 0 Action(): cardIndex: 0, tunerStatus: 2, NewStatus: 1 Action(): cardIndex: 0, tunerStatus: 2, NewStatus: 1 ... Action(): cardIndex: 0, tunerStatus: 2, NewStatus: 31 frontend 0 regained lock on channel 1, tp 546 Action(): cardIndex: 1, tunerStatus: 0, NewStatus: 31 Action(): cardIndex: 0, tunerStatus: 3, NewStatus: 31 frontend 0 regained lock on channel 1, tp 546 Action(): cardIndex: 1, tunerStatus: 0, NewStatus: 31 Action(): cardIndex: 0, tunerStatus: 3, NewStatus: 31 frontend 0 regained lock on channel 1, tp 546 Action(): cardIndex: 1, tunerStatus: 0, NewStatus: 31 Action(): cardIndex: 0, tunerStatus: 3, NewStatus: 31 ... If I instead try to tune to new dvb-s channel that I have not previously pre-tuned with szap or szap-s2 (for example arte), vdr will fail to show the channel and I can see a following: Action(): cardIndex: 1, tunerStatus: 0, NewStatus: 31 Action(): cardIndex: 0, tunerStatus: 0, NewStatus: 0 Action(): cardIndex: 1, tunerStatus: 0, NewStatus: 31 Action(): cardIndex: 1, tunerStatus: 1, NewStatus: 31 Setup.DiSeqC == false SetFrontEnd(): DVB-S, fd_frontend: 6, cardIndex: 1 (frequency * 1000UL): 993000 channel.Modulation(): 9 channek.Srate() * 1000UL): 22000000 channel.CoderateH(): 5 channel.Inversion(): 2 Action(): cardIndex: 1, tunerStatus: 2, NewStatus: 0 Action(): cardIndex: 1, tunerStatus: 2, NewStatus: 31 frontend 1 regained lock on channel 5, tp 110743 Action(): cardIndex: 0, tunerStatus: 0, NewStatus: 0 Action(): cardIndex: 1, tunerStatus: 3, NewStatus: 3 frontend 1 lost lock on channel 5, tp 110743 Action(): cardIndex: 1, tunerStatus: 2, NewStatus: 1 Action(): cardIndex: 1, tunerStatus: 2, NewStatus: 1 Action(): cardIndex: 1, tunerStatus: 2, NewStatus: 1 Action(): cardIndex: 1, tunerStatus: 2, NewStatus: 1 Action(): cardIndex: 1, tunerStatus: 2, NewStatus: 1 Action(): cardIndex: 1, tunerStatus: 2, NewStatus: 1 Action(): cardIndex: 1, tunerStatus: 2, NewStatus: 3 Action(): cardIndex: 1, tunerStatus: 2, NewStatus: 3 Action(): cardIndex: 1, tunerStatus: 2, NewStatus: 3 Action(): cardIndex: 1, tunerStatus: 2, NewStatus: 1 Action(): cardIndex: 1, tunerStatus: 2, NewStatus: 1 Action(): cardIndex: 1, tunerStatus: 2, NewStatus: 1 Action(): cardIndex: 1, tunerStatus: 2, NewStatus: 3 Action(): cardIndex: 1, tunerStatus: 2, NewStatus: 3 Action(): cardIndex: 1, tunerStatus: 2, NewStatus: 3 Action(): cardIndex: 1, tunerStatus: 2, NewStatus: 3 Action(): cardIndex: 1, tunerStatus: 2, NewStatus: 1 ... If I have pre-tuned for example to same arte with szap-s2, then vdr is able to show that channel, and I get a following output: Action(): cardIndex: 1, tunerStatus: 0, NewStatus: 1 Action(): cardIndex: 1, tunerStatus: 1, NewStatus: 3 Setup.DiSeqC == false Action(): cardIndex: 0, tunerStatus: 0, NewStatus: 0 SetFrontEnd(): DVB-S, fd_frontend: 6, cardIndex: 1 (frequency * 1000UL): 993000 channel.Modulation(): 9 channek.Srate() * 1000UL): 22000000 channel.CoderateH(): 5 channel.Inversion(): 2 Action(): cardIndex: 1, tunerStatus: 2, NewStatus: 0 Action(): cardIndex: 1, tunerStatus: 2, NewStatus: 31 frontend 1 regained lock on channel 5, tp 110743 Action(): cardIndex: 0, tunerStatus: 0, NewStatus: 0 Action(): cardIndex: 1, tunerStatus: 3, NewStatus: 31 frontend 1 regained lock on channel 5, tp 110743 Action(): cardIndex: 0, tunerStatus: 0, NewStatus: 0 Action(): cardIndex: 1, tunerStatus: 3, NewStatus: 31 frontend 1 regained lock on channel 5, tp 110743 Action(): cardIndex: 0, tunerStatus: 0, NewStatus: 0 Action(): cardIndex: 1, tunerStatus: 3, NewStatus: 31 frontend 1 regained lock on channel 5, tp 110743 Action(): cardIndex: 0, tunerStatus: 0, NewStatus: 0 Action(): cardIndex: 1, tunerStatus: 3, NewStatus: 31 ...

Minimal VDR install
by Chris Silva 15 Jan '09

15 Jan '09

Hi, folks. My current vdr is instaled over "normal" ubuntu desktop since forever. Now I want to try something similar starting with ubuntu server and reducing installed packages to the minimum. I found a similar ideia at this link: http://kuparinen.org/martti/comp/vdr/vdr.html Now for the questions: - Anyone with similar approach? - What is the minimum xorg needed? - Recommended settings? The ideia is to have a lightweight system installed on a usb pen (almost all files are read only, so no problem) and add one or more HDD drives to perform the recording. Those drivers will only work when a recording is scheduled. Thus reducing noise to the minimum. Currently I have almost no dB coming from my vdr box, except for the disks. I need to take in account other applications xorg needs. Like xine, mplyer, whatever. I really want to end up with a minimal/no noise fully working system. Thanks.

Re: [vdr] why the VDR-PC can't auto run runvdr?
by LinHai 15 Jan '09

15 Jan '09

thank you! Udo Richter After I patched the runvdr-0.4.0-xserver-commandline.diff, the runvdr can auto run sucessfully. But auto runvdr can't change the OSD Language. IF I logined the system, and press /etc/init.d/runvdr start, at this time the vdr can change the OSD Language. why? _________________________________________________________________ MSN新版在线社交网络，与您的MSN好友更全面互动！ http://im.live.cn/msn9/

[ANNOUNCE] VDR developer version 1.7.3
by Johann Friedrichs 14 Jan '09

14 Jan '09

It is much easier than in my previous message to get plugins running, that use cReadDir: add DEFINES += -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE \ -D_LARGEFILE64_SOURCE to Make.config Regards, Johann

Re: [vdr] [ANNOUNCE] VDR developer version 1.7.3
by Johann Friedrichs 13 Jan '09

13 Jan '09

Hi, with vdr 1.7.3 I had no directory display in the pictures-plugin and crashes in dvdswitch, while it initially scanned the defined base directory for DVD-Images. I found, that with the LARGEFILE options I had to change cReadDir accordingly to use dirent64 and readdir64_r (tools.h, tools.c) Those Plugins, using cReadDir like pictures, epgsearch, dvdswitch then also had to change dirent to dirent64. With these changes the plugins are working again (Base system is Debian etch). Regards Johann

Compiling xineliboutput frontends only
by Tony Houghton 12 Jan '09

12 Jan '09

I want to try VDPAU, replacing as few Debian packages as possible although I did have to rebuild the Debian package for vdr to add h264 and Freesat EPG patches. I've got as far as building svn ffmpeg and hg xine-lib, now I need to build vdr-sxfe, and I think I need an xvdr plugin for xine from xineliboutput too. Is it fairly easy to compile just those components without having to set up a configured VDR source tree, and if so, how? -- TH * http://www.realh.co.uk
