[ANNOUNCE] VDR developer version 1.7.10
by Klaus Schmidinger 31 Jan '10

31 Jan '10

VDR developer version 1.7.10 is now available at ftp://ftp.tvdr.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-1.7.10.tar.bz2 A 'diff' against the previous version is available at ftp://ftp.tvdr.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-1.7.9-1.7.10.diff WARNING: ======== This is a *developer* version. Even though *I* use it in my productive environment. I strongly recommend that you only use it under controlled conditions and for testing and debugging. IMPORTANT: ========== Please remember that the VDR homepage has … [View More]moved from http://www.cadsoft.de/vdr to http://tvdr.de, and the FTP site has moved from ftp://ftp.cadsoft.de/vdr to ftp://ftp.tvdr.de/vdr. Please update all links to these URLs. The changes since version 1.7.9: - Updated the Italian OSD texts (thanks to Diego Pierotto). - Fixed wrong bracketing in cChannel::SubtitlingType() etc. (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - Fixed not logging changes for channels that have no number (reported by Timothy D. Lenz). - Changed the project's URLs and email to tvdr.de. - Added Lithuanian language translations (thanks to Valdemaras Pipiras). - Updated Chinese language texts (thanks to Nan Feng). - Only checking DVB_API_VERSION to be >=5 in order to stay compileable in case the DVB API version number is increased (the API claims to always be backward compatible). - Fixed saving terminal settings when running in background (thanks to Manuel Reimer). - Fixed cFrameDetector::Analyze() to handle video streams where the frame type is not detectable from the first TS packet of a frame. - Fixed writing the PCR pid into the PMT in cPatPmtGenerator::GeneratePmt() (reported by Rene van den Braken). - Added Slovakian language texts (thanks to Milan Hrala). - Fixed EntriesOnSameFileSystem() to avoid using f_fsid, which may be 0 (thanks to Frank Schmirler). - Fixed starting a recording at an I-frame. - Fixed generating the index for recordings from channels that put a whole GOP into one payload unit. - The index file for TS recordings is now regenerated on-the-fly if a recording is replayed that has no index. This can also be used to re-create a broken index file by manually deleting the index file and then replaying the recording (at least until the index file has been generated). - The cRingBufferLinear::Read() function now returns -1 and sets errno to EAGAIN if the buffer is already full. - Fixed handling DVB subtitles for PES recordings (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - Added the audio id to the call of PlayAudio() in cDevice::PlayTsAudio() (thanks to Andreas Schaefers). - Fixed references to old *.vdr file names in MANUAL (reported by Arthur Konovalov). - Reverted "Removed limitation to PAL resolution from SPU handling" because it cause nothing but trouble. Besides, the core VDR doesn't use this, anyway. - Fixed the default value for "Pause key handling" in the MANUAL (reported by Diego Pierotto). Have fun! Klaus [View Less]

vdpau experience
by Theunis Potgieter 24 Jan '10

24 Jan '10

So far getting vdpau to work on Gentoo wasn't that difficult. Overlay vdr-xine was used and then emerged xine-lib-1.2 to bring the library up to speed. After that I pulled vdr-xineliboutput from cvs. Compiled and it worked great especially deinterlacing! Only jaw dropping experience there. I have before got accustomed to using the cropping feature from vdr-xineliboutput plugin. Crop converts a 4:3 input to 16:9 format. In the README it states: VDPAU All video scaling, cropping, and … [View More]

vdr-xine - skipping audio & video
by Simon Baxter 09 Jan '10

09 Jan '10

Hi - am at my wits end!!! I've now tried vdr-xine-0.9.3 with XV and with VDPAU, and several settings in .xine/config for engine.buffers.audio_num_buffers (2300) and engine.buffers.video_num_frames (60) but I still get skips in audio and video when viewing recorded programs - which I don't get in vdr-xine-0.8.0. The skips occur at the same time as VDR console messages "buffering xx frames", and start out OK when watching the program but within a few minutes deteriorate further and further.… [View More]

vdr-xine 0.9.3 audio problems
by Simon Baxter 08 Jan '10

08 Jan '10

Hi I've just upgraded from vdr-xine 0.8.0 to 0.9.3 (well overdue) and I'm having audio problems. When each of the following lines appeared in std-out, it coincides with skips in audio and gaps in audio sync buffered 6.3 frames (v:10.9, a:6.3) buffered 7.1 frames (v:13.5, a:7.1) buffered 8.5 frames (v:14.5, a:8.5) buffered 9.1 frames (v:15.1, a:9.1) buffered 10.3 frames (v:16.7, a:10.3) buffered 11.1 frames (v:17.3, a:11.1) buffered 12.2 frames (v:18.8, a:12.2) buffered 13.5 frames (v:19.7, … [View More]

Recommendation for new hd vdr system.
by Luca Olivetti 04 Jan '10

04 Jan '10

Hello, Now that I have an hd tv set, I'm looking at revamping my ageing vdr system for hd. Oh, and I want it to be really cheap ;-) It seems that the only reasonable option is a motherboard/graphic card supported by nvidia vdpau. I need a parallel port and a pci slot (I want to use my current dvb-s card), so the revo and similar nettops are out. The asus P5N7A-VM motherboard seems a good candidate, is its integrated 9300 graphics powerful enough for good deinterlacing? According to this … [View More]

vdpau setup steps for vdr client
by Mika Laitio 07 Dec '09

07 Dec '09

I just bought a zotac ion motherboard and plan to harness it in the weekend as a ultimate super master dream vdr client for my 19" monitor :-) Sofar I have used to run vdr-xineliboutput in my clients and would like to do that also with this machine if possible. Currently my server runs vdr 1.6 but I plan to update that also to 1.7.10. Is there anything special steps/tweaking I need to do to get the client work nicely vdpau? - could things work with some of the distros almost out of the … [View More]

Hi guys, I've recently bought an Xtreamer device www.xtreamer.net (apparently a mvix product). I would just like to know if anybody else got it working with streamdev-server plugin on vdr-1.6.0? Thanks Theunis

Plugin compiler arguments / Make.config
by Frank Schmirler 06 Dec '09

06 Dec '09

Hi there, since vdr-1.7.3, VDR is compiled with the additional arguments -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_LARGEFILE64_SOURCE Plugins should be compiled with the same arguments as otherwise one might get unresolved symbols when loading the plugin. Consistently, in vdr-1.7.4 these defines have been added to the plugin part of Make.config.template. But that won't fix anything for the people who don't use a Make.config at all (those who do, need to check if something has changed in … [View More]
