vdr-1.7.3 + reelbox plugin
by Josce 10 Jan '09

10 Jan '09

I am currently using vdr-1.6.0 with reelbox plugin and would like to test the new vdr-1.7.3. I have Checked out revision 10331 from reelbox.org. Since I am having trouble getting the reelbox plugin to compile with vdr-1.7.3 I thought I'd check first before continuing: - Does the reelbox plugin work with vdr-1.7.3? (does vdr's switching to TS make the current plugin unusable?) - Is there a patch already for vdr-1.7.3 to make it compile with the reelbox plugin? ( I have tested some patches for vdr-1.7.0, but the ones I have tested fail ) Regards, Josce

LIRC configuration
by Alex Betis 09 Jan '09

09 Jan '09

Hello all, Not a VDR question, but I'm sure someone can help me here. I've finally bought a remote control for my HTPC from a company named SunWave, model SMR-140. Looks like a MCE clone. It has an USB IR receiver that recognized as keyboard and mouse device (the remote has a joystick that can be used to move mouse). I can use the remote without lirc since it operates as keyboard. Few questions about that: 1. I want to install XBMC in near future so I'll need irexec functionality. Do I really need lirc for that? Or is there any other option to do it? 2. The remote sends sequence of keys for a single button, for example play button sends "LEFTCTR", "LEFTSHIFT" and "P". How can I map that sequence to represent a single button? 3. If someone has that remote (or maybe other remotes with the same strange behavior). The behavior of stop button is very strange. It sends "back" or "forward" or "homepage" or "bookmark" depending on what "Sx" button was pressed before. Pressing stop again gives no input at all untill I'll press a "Sx" button. Is there any trick to make it work in more expected way? Thanks! Alex.

Hi Klaus, > a safety precaution (besides, two channels might >have the *same* name, but never the same number. Hmm, I thought it wasn't possible to have two identical channels (even IF soley the name is different). Has this changed? Another question: what happens to the info file when I make an instant recording (or a timer for that matter) than spans across more than one "show"? VDR used to only store the info (epg data) from the first show. Personally, I think VDR should record ALL show info (epg data) as long as the timer or instant recording is running. Perhaps with a divider between the multiple shows. Of course the question is how to distinguish between simple pre and post timer times and true multiple shows (perhaps only record the info if the multiple show has finished being aired or a similiar mechanism. regards, Reinhard

missing const keywords in cOsd
by Andreas Regel 07 Jan '09

07 Jan '09

Hi, attached is a small patch that adds some missing const keywords in cOsd class to be able to use Data and GetColor methods on const objects. The patch is against vdr-1.6.0-1 but should apply cleanly against 1.7.3, too.
