Hi
Is there a plug-in or mechanism anyone's found to highlight the channels
that are available for viewing or recording?
My family complain that when some channel(s) are recording and try to switch
channel they get "CHANNEL NOT AVAILABLE" and would like to be able to see
from the channel list which channels can be viewed before they try and
switch.
Even though my VDR setup has 2x tuner cards, my provider sends channels on 8
transponders and sometimes I'm recording 2 channels on …
[View More]different
transponders which really limits what can be viewed.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Simon

about the current state of VDR on iMON LCD.

Hi,
I would like to get a HDTV VDR system started.
I have the following hardware to play with:
gigabyte m55plus s3g main board (nVidia GeForce 6100 / nForce 430)
with Athlon 64 3500+, 1GB RAM
GeForce 9500GT card with 1GB RAM
2 TT-budget S2-3200 DVB S2 cards
I have installed OpenSuse 11.1 on it, which comes with
vdr 1.6.0, the xine 0.8.2 plugin and dvb-1.1.0_CVS20080331-1.48.
Is there a "getting started with HDTV VDR" FAQ somewhere?
My first 3 questions questions are
* Will a new …
[View More]VDR version be released today?
The latest I could find is 1.7.7 (3 weeks old).
* Where do I find the right DVB driver?
* How do I configure LIRC, so it works with the S3-3200
and the remote control included with it?
Thanks in advance for any hints,
Carsten.

Hi Klaus,
/var/log/vdr.log doesn´t contain any info regarding problems with channel
s.conf
I start vdr with -l 3
dmesg |grep vdr
shows nothing
where else should I look?

Should be logged in your syslog file.

VDR 1.7.7
I have installed the mplayer plugin
and read the MANUAL in the xine plugin, consequently modified mplayer.sh
to call xineplayer instead of mplayer
So far so good but when I open the mplayer plugin and play any file (for example
a .avi ) the movie displays correctly but there is no way to pause it, or
otherwise control it.
I press pause and I see the pause symbol on the screeen but whereas playing
normal vdr recordings it works fine, with the mplayer plugin and xineplayer the
movie …
[View More]does not pause.
Anybody has experienced this and more important found a way to get this working?

Dear list,
I searched for all variants of
"test material" for ff-card or "full featured" tv set
vdr "test material"
on the WWW to no avail. I only found [1] which also voices this wish.
Could you please tell me where I could get some video files to test the
quality of my setup/system. I remember sometimes there is some test
images on the TV broadcasted by the TV station if there is an error(?).
Thanks a lot,
Paul

Good morning,
I see logging like this all the time in my syslog file:
May 22 06:36:45 hex vdr: [31292] frontend 0 timed out while tuning to channel
31, tp 298
May 22 06:37:06 hex vdr: [31292] frontend 0 timed out while tuning to channel
33, tp 322
And:
May 22 09:59:58 hex vdr: [31292] frontend 0 lost lock on channel 41, tp 338
May 22 09:59:59 hex vdr: [31292] frontend 0 regained lock on channel 41, tp
338
May 22 10:00:01 hex vdr: [31292] frontend 0 lost lock on channel 41, tp 338
May 22 …
[View More]10:00:01 hex vdr: [31292] frontend 0 regained lock on channel 41, tp
338
What does this mean? The channels referred to (31, 33 and 41) are channels
that we never, ever watch as they are encrypted. Normally these three or
neighbor channels are referred to in the error logging. We almost never use
channels above 20. So, why does VDR try to tune into them and why would it
fail? We have two FF cards but we still would like them both to do something
that benefits us, not go randomly tune into uninteresting channels. :)
Best regards,
Jan Ekholm
