No Dolby Digital+ with VDR
by ECLiPSE 21 Jun '09

21 Jun '09

Hi everyone, since 1st june 2009, the HD Channels broadcasted on DVB-T in France use Dolby Digital+ (E-AC-3) instead of classic Dolby Digital (AC-3). So now, i can' t have anymore sound on theses channels with the eHD Reel card. I don't know if the problem comes from the hardware part of the eHD or the reelbox plugin or VDR. I use the VDR 1.7.6 and a quite recent build of the reelbox plugin Can someone help me with that? Thanks in advance ECLiPSE -- ECLiPSE - VDR & Linux http://vdr.bluox.org

by martinez＠embl.de 21 Jun '09

21 Jun '09

With vrd-1.7.8 and vdr-xine 0.9.3 using vdpau (onboard nvidia 8200) What are the optimum buffer settings for SD and HD (since they can now be specified separately) ?

[ANNOUNCE] tsplay-0.1 patch for VDR-1.6.0-2
by Udo Richter 20 Jun '09

20 Jun '09

Hi list, Since VDR-1.7.x introduced the TS recording format, the VDR recordings world was split into PES and TS recordings. While VDR-1.7 can play both, all VDR-1.7 recordings cannot be played by 'stable' VDR-1.6 systems any more. In order to re-unite VDR-1.6 and VDR-1.7, I've back-ported parts of VDR-1.7 to 1.6 to allow playback of TS recordings even on VDR-1.6 systems. Facts in short: - Plays back TS recordings in SD resolution - HD recordings may work depending on output plugin - Can edit TS recordings - Records to old PES format, fully compatible to VDR-1.6.0 - No recording to TS possible, sorry. - Supports >4GB and >255 files for TS recordings - No frame rate support, assumes 25fps - Implements TS device interface for output plugins - Working TS to PES repacker - Hybrid index file support. No conversion to/from old format as VDR-1.7 does. - EXPERIMENTAL! BE WARNED! For convenience, there's a compatible version of the hard link cutter patch and the jumpplay patch available. Since the impact of the patch is quite big, other patches might break too. http://www.udo-richter.de/vdr/patches.html#tsplay http://www.udo-richter.de/vdr/patches.en.html#tsplay Cheers, Udo

VCAS for DVB - supported in vdr?
by Simon Baxter 19 Jun '09

19 Jun '09

Hello All!! My cable provider is about to expand into IP delivery and is talking about VCAS as a mechanism to offer content security. Does anyone have any experience with this, and what problems this might introduce with my VDR setup? Is appears from the Verimatrix site that content security is enabled for DVB cable, Satellite or Terrestrial. Thanks Simon

[ANNOUNCE] vdr-xine-0.9.3 plugin
by Reinhard Nissl 17 Jun '09

17 Jun '09

Hi, I'm pleased to announce maintenance release 0.9.3. You can find it on my homepage as usual: http://home.vr-web.de/~rnissl Excerpt from HISTORY: 2009-06-17: Version 0.9.3 - Updated MANUAL accordingly (e. g. some information about xine engine buffer sizes). - Implemented VDR-1.7.8s cDevice::GetOsdSize() and changed cDevice::GetVideoSize() accordingly. - Implemented video window support while showing an OSD for VDPAU to support plugins like yaepghd. - Clipped settings in setup page to reasonable values while editing to prevent rendering an unreadable OSD. - Introduced separate live TV buffer values for SD and HD video as well as audio to allow faster "zapping" on SD channels while still having large buffers for HD video. - Fixed setup page display while changing OSD extent. - Fixed a memory leak in processing TS still images. - Fixed a bug in processing TS still images which caused the tail of the image to get lost and hence the image not to get shown. - Updated it_IT.po (thanks to Diego Pierotto for providing the translations). NOTE: ***** vdr-xine xine-lib interface hasn't changed ***** BTW: - it seems to be necessary to restart VDR in order to make changes to the OSD extent take effect. - replaying fast reverse stops at start of recording. Enjoy. -- Dipl.-Inform. (FH) Reinhard Nissl mailto:rnissl@gmx.de
