The eHD (which I have in use also) seems to be very stable in 1.7.0. The versions 1.7.3 and 1.7.4 didn't give me any audio. Hopefully this will be fixed soon.

The DVB-T device gives out wrong supported transports (like DVBS) but the code/patch will only lock DVB-T transports with DVB-T devices. At least, during my testing ;) > @Niels, which DVB-T devices are you using successfully with VDR-1.7.0 > so that I can compare them with my own drivers?

For fun, please try using the old and default scan for DVB-T. Because I used the old dvb-scan with the option to output for VDR on my Gigabyte GT-U7000-RH based DVB-T adapter to scan for KPN Digitenne bouquets (location Zwolle/Apeldoorn).

Hi, How is the picture quality with the eHD compared to using just x11 and and DVI connected to a flatpanel? Is there a big difference?

Would you be filling to upload the patch to the ML or send it to me directly? I use sound over HDMI anyway since I redirect the sound from my Plasma to my receiver. > Ales Regards, Niels Wagenaar

vdpau ouput to pal tv

I am having some issues trying out vdpau with an nvidia card on the svideo output; I'm getting testing. Does anyone have any tips on how to fix this? It seems to be a persistent problem for a number of users, yet some people claim to have fixed it. -- Torgeir Veimo torgeir(a)pobox.com

vdr-1.6.0 / mplayer / spdif Nexus => pb with DTS tracks
by kafifi 02 Feb '09

02 Feb '09

Hello, I am using vdr-1.6.0 and mplayer with Nexus FF card and it's spdif output. When I run some "720p_AC3.avi" movies, my HC ampli receives 5.1 audio without problem. But with movies with DTS audio tracks, vdr+mplayer give only PCM in stereo mode. There is an issue with DTS passthrough. When I try mplayer **without vdr**, DTS is working : Mplayer -ao mpegpes afm hwac3 movie.avi My mplayer.sh.conf has theses lines : USEAC3="true" AC3AOUT="-ao mpegpes -afm hwac3" Did I missed something ? Do you know how could I fix this issue ?

eHD and how subtitle timing start work
by Vesa 02 Feb '09

02 Feb '09

There has been several discussion about eHD dvb subtitle timing. Vdr works correctly on this area and time subtitles as they should be. Reelbox-plugin do not deliver timing info (STC) with default settings. The catch is soundcard support. For audio delay adjustment reelbox-plugin deliver STC. So just turn "Analog audio" to "Soundcard" and STC is delivered to VDR and subtitles are in time. Only issue after this is with replaying recording, it will took some time to get STC to correct value. For this it would be nice to get min and max value for subtitle delay. If delay is out of those limits, vdr would use middle setting. -- Vesa

[ANNOUNCE] vdr-xine-0.9.0 plugin
by Reinhard Nissl 01 Feb '09

01 Feb '09

Hi, after being away 7 month from VDR development I'm pleased to announce release 0.9.0. You can find it on my homepage as usual: http://home.vr-web.de/~rnissl Excerpt from HISTORY: 2009-01-12: Version 0.9.0 - Updated INSTALL and MANUAL accordingly. - Fixed several multithreading issues which got triggered on SMP systems (thanks to Edgar (gimli) Hucek for reporting issues and testing fixes). - Added support for VDR-1.7.3 besides TS still pictures. - Pulled patched VDR-1.7.2's remux.[ch] for a quick adaption to to VDR-1.7.3 (thanks to Klaus Schmidinger for his approval). - Fixed PTS handling in xine-lib's FFmpeg decoder for recent FFmpeg versions which should provide better A/V sync now. - Added patch sets to input_vdr.c which allow to omit parts of the MRL, e. g. vdr:// should be sufficient now (thanks to Ludwig Nussel for providing them). - Make use of new OSD functionality in xine-lib-1.2. For now an OSD implementation must provide both new features to have vdr-xine make use of it. - Extended OSD support in xine-lib-1.2 to allow truecolor OSDs as well as hardware scaled OSDs. The new functionality is currently only provided by VDPAU enabled installations. - Added frame grabbing support for accelerated frame formats to xine-lib. Previously, xine-lib exitted the app when frame grabbing was requested for accelerated frame formats like xxmc. You'll now get a green image in that case. Reading back the content of an accelerated frame is currently only provided by VDPAU enabled installations. - Hacked support for VDR-1.7.1's new cDevice::PlayTs() method. - Grab image nolonger needs pnmcut to select the relevant area of the TV image. Besides that, grab image respects the aspect ratio you select in VDR's setup menu, i. e. a 16:9 setup and a 16:9 broadcast will grab you a image without black borders. A mismatch of aspect ratios will add black borders to the image to match the visual impression you get on your TV set. Additionally, the grabbing of field pictures was corrected with regard to color upsampling. - A script mkNoSignal.sh is provided to create custom logos. Just provide PNG files named noSignal16x9*.png (and ...4x3... respectively) and have the tools mentioned in INSTALL in your path. You'll have to move your custom logos then over the default files. - The vdr-xine logo is now available in two aspect ratios (4:3 and 16:9) as more channels provide 16:9 content. Then vdr-xine selects the logo which matches VDR's DVB setup option video format. - Added the ability to detect discontinuities in live TV and to start a new buffering period in such a case. This will help to resume to fluent playback from bad weather conditions or when disconnecting and reattaching the antenna cable. - Updated it_IT.po (thanks to Diego Pierotto for providing the translations). Enjoy. -- Dipl.-Inform. (FH) Reinhard Nissl mailto:rnissl@gmx.de

Disabling EPG update from air or shift it in time
by Alex Betis 01 Feb '09

01 Feb '09

Hi all, Is there any configuration that disables EPG updates received on the channel? Or is there a way to shift time of those updates before they are written to EPG.data? The problem is that I have some channels that are transmitted for different time zones that start transmitting EPG info, but looks like the EPG is not shifted. There are some other shifted channels that do transmit the EPG properly, so I believe that's a provider problem. I use s script that updates those channels from internet, so I don't mind to disable EPG update received on the channel. Thanks.
