vdr-1.7.7 playback - getting PPPP ??
by Simon Baxter 20 May '09

20 May '09

Hi I've just built vdr-1.7.7, using vdr-xine 9.1 as the output device. During playback I'm getting PPPPPPPPPP at a rate of 5 every second. What does this mean?? Apart from a few skips in audio when the playback first starts (then it settles), there doesn't appear to be any other problems. What does PPPPPPPP mean?? Thanks Simon

Compilation issues with recent DVB header files vs libc6
by Tobi 19 May '09

19 May '09

Hi! Recent DVB driver releases (now in Kernel 2.6.29) cause trouble compiling VDR (see snippet A below). The common solution to this seems to be to add a "-D__KERNEL_STRICT_NAMES". It felt wrong somehow and I didn't liked this, so I tried another solution, which is to have any libc6 <sys/*> includes appear before the linux DVB header includes <linux/*>. Doing this only in dvbdevice.c seems to do the trick for VDR (see snippet B). I works for VDR 1.6.0 as well as VDR 1.7.4. I … [View More]

Re: [vdr] Can I disable pause live tv altogher?
by martinez＠embl.de 17 May '09

17 May '09

The relook400s for example has an option (it can be turned on or off) where a 30 minutes buffer of live tv is recorded to allow to rewind livetv. This recording is automatically deleted when you zap to another channel, hence the Wife Acceptance Factor is very high. Whenever my wife sees in vdr 'channel not available' she freaks out and waits for me to come back from work, and then nags how vdr is not working again. It is nearly always instant recordings causing this and she is intimidated by … [View More]

The ION-ITX-A has its own DC converter onboard, and is supplied with a 90W AC Adapter." Nice silent drop-in replacement for any mini-ITX / micro-ATX mobo. -- NH

Only 2 colors transparent OSD with xineliboutput on CLE266
by Nicolas Huillard 16 May '09

16 May '09

Hi, I'm having OSD problems when upgrading. The OSD is normally transparent, using all 4 or 5 colors, on EPIA ML6000 / CLE266 graphics. When upgrading kernel + xine + xorg + a few other things, all colors except yellow are displayed as black, leaving a yellow + black + transparent OSD... Everything else seems to be OK (except xvmc_bob_deinterlacing, which seems to be replaced by one_field). I can't find anything related to this in /var/lib/vdr/.xine/config_xineliboutput (but I'm not sure … [View More]

VFAT/Samba case-sensitive problem
by Fabian Wolter 16 May '09

16 May '09

Hi, I encountered a problem with playing back a particular recording on Windows over a samba share: ProSieben has a series which they call "Switch Reloaded", but today they decided to call it "Switch reloaded". (notice the small "r") As a result, VDR created a second folder with the same name, but different "R"/"r"s. W2K/XP/Vista are able to view both folders, but they have the same content (both show the content of the folder with the small "r" in the name). So, one folder content is … [View More]

VDR shutdown problem(?)
by VDR User 16 May '09

16 May '09

What's the best way to shut down VDR without the process exiting prematurely? By that I mean before it has performed all of it's cleanup tasks (like saving setup.conf, channels.conf, etc). I was told that the method that comes with runvdr ("/usr/bin/killall -q -TERM") kills it instantly and it doesn't have time to do cleanup. Also, can an svdrp command be added to perform a VDR shutdown? I notice the svdrp command "QUIT" described as "Exit VDR" but after testing this command, nothing happened. Cheers, Derek
