Anybody know if it is possible to use the DivX h264 decoder under Linux, much like CoreAVC works under DShowServer for Linux? Stuart

What about vdr-1.6.1?
by Joachim Welker 29 Jun '09

29 Jun '09

Hi Klaus, I see you are very busy in developing the new vdr-1.7.* (thanks for your great work !). But what about stable vdr-1.6.0? You released two patches which should result in version vdr-1.6.1. AFAIR there were no complaints about these patches, so I think it's save to release vdr-1.6.1 in order to rule off the last stable version. Regards, Joachim

[ANNOUNCE] runvdr extreme 0.4.2
by Udo Richter 28 Jun '09

28 Jun '09

Hi list, I've updated the runvdr extreme script to version 0.4.2 The script now handles the --instance switch and the VDR_CHARSET_OVERRIDE, can optionally unload DVB drivers on exit, supports shell functions DVBLOAD() { ... } alternatively to the classic DVBLOAD="...", and can do extra commands on X server startup and shutdown, if needed. Also, the --lirc bug of 0.4.1 is fixed. Get it at: http://www.udo-richter.de/vdr/scripts.en.html#runvdr-extreme http://www.udo-richter.de/vdr/scripts.html#runvdr-extreme Cheers, Udo _______________________________________________ vdr mailing list vdr(a)linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr

First of all, also want to thank for the plugin. I see a lot of new tokens. I am most interested in such tokens as: FrontendSTR FrontendSNR FrontendHasLock FrontendHasSignal Could you write a brief HOW TO for use them? It's desirable to show working examples.

Does anyone have a modded vdrconvert script that will convert the new .ts files that vdr-1.7.0+ now saves? Thanks

No Audio on ATSC Qam256 or OTA..
by Rob Davis 23 Jun '09

23 Jun '09

I've just moved to the US from Europe and trying to get my head around ATSC. I have a Hauppauge HVR950q which works in Windoze and Linux (With Kaffeine) and almost with VDR (my preferred platform). I have it normally connected to Comcast cable which should pipe through a bunch of FTV channels using QAM256. These I can see and hear in kaffeine with AC97 audio. However, in VDR it appears to change the pids automatically so that the audio stops working. If I manually change VDR to not auto update and put the APID in then it squeeks rather than works. However, streaming to mplayer using streamdev seems to work. (It does the same this with OTA channels too - although I can only get 4 with a portable antenna.) I am using Ubuntu's VDR source 1.6.0 something or other, but patched with the ATSC patch. I had a really hard time trying to work out the channels.conf file, and in the end settled for something like: WIFR-Wxï¿œ;(null):495000:M256:C:0:1984:0:0:0:2:0:0:0 WQRF-DTï¿œ;(null):495000:M256:C:0:2048:0:0:0:3:0:0:0 WIFR-HDï¿œ;(null):495000:M256:C:0:2112:0:0:0:1:0:0:0 This is after VDR has eaten the audio pid away. Normally this is one number higher than the vpid. So for WIFR 1985, WQRF 2049 etc. I'm willing to believe I've cocked it up as nothing I had would automatically scan the QAM channels. In the end I used scan and it added "VDR Doesn't support ATSC yet" instead of M256:C:0. Thanks guys... Fairly soon my shipping will arrive from Italy with my main server, sat cards and Hauppauge MVP's to stick around the house. I wonder what could possibly go wrong?

Which Kernel / DVB Driver for VDR1.7.8
by Matthias Fechner 22 Jun '09

22 Jun '09

Hi, is it enough for VDR 1.7.8 to install a new kernel (2.6.30) or do I need to install dvb drivers from a seperate source?

ITV HD
by Tony Houghton 22 Jun '09

22 Jun '09

I've read that ITV HD can only be viewd by pressing the red button on a Freesat receiver. Does this mean VDR can't access it? -- TH * http://www.realh.co.uk

error compiling vdr 1.7.7 (frontend.h - '__u8' does not name a type)
by bioh 21 Jun '09

21 Jun '09

Hi folks, For the last few days I've been trying to compile vdr-1.7.7 on my debian system, and have failed miserably. Googled, ramaged through forums and i'm possibly too dumb to understand what i'm doing wrong (high probability :() I have tried to follow steps as outlined on several forums (ubuntu, dvbn) but the compile fails at last stage of vdr make.
