Setting up a new system, with vdr-1.7.5, xine-vdpau r260 and vdr-xine plugin using a FusionHDTV7 dual express. Video card is
en8400gs silent.
First, when I have an HD stream ether live or recorded it get high frame droping:
video_out: throwing away image with pts 24715684 because it's too old (diff : 3402).
video_out: throwing away image with pts 24727696 because it's too old (diff : 4065).
video_out: throwing away image with pts 24736705 because it's too old (diff : 3566).
video_out: …
[View More]throwing away image with pts 24748717 because it's too old (diff : 4229).
If I turn off deinterlacing the drops stop but the picture is then distorted around moving/changing objects. vdpau does seem to be
active and cpu usage is low.
I also saw a problem with it start loosing signal and then vdr would lock up. I found the card was getting hot. I put a small fan in
the case above the card.
Another problem I'm seeing is, using the atscepg plugin when I try to scan for channels, it finds none even though I can tune all of
the ones I know about. i did use vdr-1.7.2-atsc-0.0.3.diff

Hi,
I am looking for a working combination softdevice / ffmpeg.
I have tested some svn snapshots but found no working one.
Latest cvs version of softdevice doesn't compile
with latest ffmpeg from svn ...
Please help

Hello,
The only thing left to migrate from a dreambox with a rotor to VDR with a rotor
is the rotor.
Anybody knows how to translate dreambox OrbitalPosition to diseqc.conf format?
These are my dreambox rotor settings:

But you see what I'm pointing to.
The distries are usually mounting the partition directly and then use the
xxx/video[.]xx directly.
Using the previous suggestion would mean the path tree of most of the
distributions need to be somewhat different.
E.g. like this:
/var/lib/vdr
|- video.00
| |- video
| |- somthing-else
|
|- video.01
|- video
|- somthing-else-2
...
So better suggestion for the distri maintainers would be to use the \mnt
tree for mounting any partitions.
Then always create a (dummy) directory on the video partitions ("video" or
"vdr").
Then linking this mounted directories as /var/liv/video.xx.
/mnt/video.00 --> /mnt/[h|s]d[a-z][0-9]
/mnt/video.01 --> /mnt/[h|s]d[a-z][0-9]
...
/var/lib
|- video.00 --> /mnt/video.00/video
|
|- video.01 --> /mnt/video.01/video
...
Quite a difference to what is now.
Hopefulls the distri maintainers read this and make some sensible changes
to the standard path tree to make VDR's video directories collision free
with temp directories for burn ...
Obviously the distries are not based on usual use configurations currently
for how to handle the huge temp files for some of the tools for burning.
This make life more complex and will cause a lot of individual effort to
modify the installation after the distribution is installed.
You can individually do a lot. It's just a matter of knowledge and ideas.
But as I assume that currently 80..90% of VDR users are starting from a
distri rather than LFS this is a field issue.
And obviously the safe mounting suggestion for a single disc system wasn't
that obvious.
So there is room for improvement ;-)

Is there someway in VDR to say schedule a repeated timer 'record this monday to
friday from 9pm til 11pm' or at least a daily timer 'record this every monday
between 9pm and 11pm'
Perhaps some plugin? Any hints?

i did a mount --bind /proc proc/ in video.01 resulting in vdr searching
the proc filesystem resulting in plenty of error messages to the log (no
permission etc) which filled up the log, which in turn filled up my root
filesystem with within 15 min or so.
I have a directory containing a chroot env. not readable by vdr - except
i forgot to unmount the proc in time.

That doesn't help.
/dev/hda1 3,4G 1,4G 1,8G 44% / (microdrive which is
containing video.00, with symlinks, index etc)
/dev/sdb1 932G 929G 3,3G 100% /var/lib/video.01
/dev/sda1 932G 600G 333G 65% /var/lib/video.02
bindmount only works properly in newer kernels. Still on 2.6.24. If you
have an idea of how to use the big harddisks for something else without
preallocating space for other tasks (i.e. partitioning), i would be
happy to hear. I'm pretty aware that this might not be good idea to do
things like i did. On the other hand i think what vdr does is a bad idea
and unnecessary. period.

vdr is not deleting files it does not know. Its only deleting empty
directories in its video directories.

Hello,
I left VDR overnigh and this morning there was a black screen, the remote
didn´t help and I had to go and plug a mouse and move it to exit the blac
k
screen.
How can I prevent this happening? I have removed all packages I could see
related to screen savers. Running ubuntu 8.10
Also shortly after this I lost sound and the screen was jumpy.
I did restarted oxine and it was fine, so perhaps oxine related although I
have
a feeling if I get rid of the screen saver it might help
This was …

Hi,
Thanks for your replies.
I'm not a specialist but how I can help you ?
I can test or modify the code if you tell me how and what must change.
