It appears that the component output breakout cable still uses the tvencoder chip.. I was able to avoid tearing finally (!) by disabling the composite extension. Section "Extensions" Option "Composite" "Disable" EndSection I then got pixel perfect component pal output without overscan. But now i'm left with.. judder !!! Watching live sports i get judder, it almost looks like it's dropping every even or odd field.. It might be that it's just that field parity is not observed, but it's a bit hard to make out. Am beginning to think that nvidia hardware is useless for 50Hz pal output.. -- Torgeir Veimo torgeir(a)pobox.com

Running script
by JJussi 18 Feb '09

18 Feb '09

Hi! This is maybe "too simple" question.. I have remote, and one of it's button is connected (in lircd.conf) to word 'AppExit'. How I can connect shell script to that? What I want to do is run script what kills vdr-sxfe and start it again... I know how to connect vdr-pluging to it.. But script? NO! -- JJussi

But I am using vdr-1.7.0 and there is possible to watch HDTV channels (for example astra 23.5E Nova HD, Eurosport HD). One problem is random SIGSEGV on vdr with streamdev-server and sc plugin, but it can be solved with never-end while loop :) It happens while switching channels - clients are VLC or popcornhour. So bug is probably on the vdr side. Big problem is randoming popcornhour freezing while watching stream - it needs turn popcornhour off and on again. But I have solved long buffering times on popcornhour - i have created custom html page and in hyperlinks must be with VOD attribute: <A href="..."

Streamdev Server and the Mediagate 800

I have tried as you suggested but it still didn't work. I am also following this up with Frank Schmirler and have made some progress - the negotiation seems to proceed further and streamdev attempts to start streaming, but the Mediagate disconnects and the retries a number of times to establish similar connections, each which streamdev accepts, but the Mediagate never seems satisfied and eventually gives up. I have notified the problem to Mediagate but I am note hopeful of any response soon. Can you suggest any thing else I should try? I can provide streamdev debug trace if it would help. Thanks, Mark.

XXV and missing epg data
by Matti Ropo 15 Feb '09

15 Feb '09

Hi I am using xxv with my vdr, but lately there has been strange problem. Couple of channels are missing most of the EPG data. Same data is in the vdr epg file, but does not appear in xxv. I have tried to look some erros from log file but haven't found any error messages. This was what I did found: 853 (200) [2009-02-12 20:39:37] EPG: Compare EPG Database with data from vdr : 55 / 181 for channel 'Sub' - C-0-2-97 If I have understood correctly number 55 refers to programs in xxv database and 181 to programs in vdr epg file. At least most of the channels these two are the same and one can see all event in epg. Has anyone any ideas how to fix the problem? Best regards, Matti ps. I am from Finland if that is important and have ubuntu interid and vdr-xxv is from hanno repository.

[ANNOUNCE] Plugin: devstatus 0.4.0
by Walter Koch 14 Feb '09

14 Feb '09

Moin, This simple plugin displays the status of all available dvb devices. This could in case of driver problems. It should works with vdr 1.6.x and maybe 1.7.x, but not with 1.5.x or earlier. For every dvb device known to vdr it shows * its type (DVB-T, DVB-C (not tested), DVB-S) * its name * its /dev path (/dev/dvb/adapter*) * its current recordings with their start time and title. Selecting a recording and pressing 'ok' starts it for timeshift viewing. Press the red key to toggle the recordings display. * the channels the device is currently tuned to. The provider of every channel is also shown. The live channel is marked with a plus sign. Crypted channels are marked with a "x". There are also marks for radio channels ("r"), tv channels ("t"), video only channels ("v") and payload free channels("?"). The channels are selectable; pressing OK switches to this channel (without exiting the plugin). Pressing the keys "7" or "9" will change to the closest transponder with lower or higher frequency. Attention: This will break a current recordind on this device! Press the yellow key to show/hide this channel display. * the signal strength and the signal / noise ratio of the device. Note: Some dvb device driver do not provide this info. Press the green key to toggle the signal display. Press the blue key to refresh the screen (and thus the values) * The device which delivers the live view is marked with the text "live" * the settings are retained between sessions * there is also a small setup page This plugin is heavily based on the recstatus plugin by Christian Wieninger and Mike Constabel (<http://www.constabel.net/vdr/plugins.de.htm>). Joe_D at vdr-portal.de implemented the automatic repaint of the screen as soon as channel are switched or recording starts or stops. Thanks. I used also some code from the femon plugin (http://www.saunalahti.fi/~rahrenbe/vdr/femon/). Example OSD output: Device status --- Device 1 (device with decoder, primary device) --- satellite card (ST STV0299 DVB-S) - /dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0 frequency: 12070 MHz, signal: 65%, s/n: 81% currently no recordings 1045 t x PREMIERE START (PREMIERE) 3080 t x TNT SERIE (PREMIERE) 3133 t x BLUE MOVIE Extra () 3134 t x BLUE MOVIE Gay () 3135 t x BLUE MOVIE () 3326 t x GOLDSTAR TV (PREMIERE) 3337 t x HEIMATKANAL (PREMIERE) 3342 t x HIT24 (PREMIERE) 3468 t x RTL CRIME (PREMIERE) 3471 t x RTL PASSION (PREMIERE) 3684 r x P-60ER/70ER (PREMIERE) 3685 r x P-80ER/90ER (PREMIERE) 3686 r x P-COUNTRY (PREMIERE) 3687 r x P-DEUTSCHE CHARTS (PREMIERE) 3689 r x P-LOVE SONGS (PREMIERE) 3690 r x P-RnB/HIP HOP (PREMIERE) 3691 r x P-ROCK HYMNEN (PREMIERE) --- Device 2 -- Live --- terrestrial card (Philips TDA10045H DVB-T) - /dev/dvb/adapter1/frontend0 frequency: 706 MHz, signal: 80%, s/n: 99% currently no recordings 101 t + Das Erste (ARD) 104 t arte (ARD) 118 t EinsFestival (ARD) 120 t Phoenix (ARD) --- Device 3 --- terrestrial card (Afatech AF9013 DVB-T) - /dev/dvb/adapter2/frontend0 frequency: 746 MHz, signal: 100%, s/n: 0% currently no recordings 107 t SAT.1 (ProSiebenSat.1) 108 t ProSieben (ProSiebenSat.1) 109 t kabel eins (ProSiebenSat.1) 121 t N24 (ProSiebenSat.1) no recordings no strength no channels Refresh display Example SVDRP-Session: PLUG devstatus 214-Plugin devstatus v0.3.0 - Status of dvb devices 214-SVDRP commands: 214- DEVSTAT RECNUMBER 214 End of HELP info PLUG devstatus RECNUMBER 900-Number of concurrent recordings: 900- Device 1: 0 900- 900- Device 2: 0 900 PLUG devstatus DEVSTAT 900-List of DVB devices: 900- --- Device 1 (device with decoder, primary device) ---: 900- currently no recordings 900- 900- --- Device 2 ---: 900- currently no recordings 900 Gruss, Walter -- Die Gedanken sind frei.

by Alfred Zastrow 13 Feb '09

13 Feb '09

Hello all, is there a way to display the OSD-Menue additionly on the 2nd FF-Card? The background for this question is, that I want to use the mp3-funtion of my vdr with a small 7"-LCD-monitor instead of the big tv-set. best regards Alfred
