VDR & Multiple frontends
by Eddi 25 Jul '15

25 Jul '15

Hi, I wrote a patch to Steve Toth hvr3000 repository, so my FlyDVB Trio can use multiple frontend. So I get: /dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0 /dev/dvb/adapter0/demux1 /dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr0 /dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr1 /dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0 /dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend1 /dev/dvb/adapter0/net0 /dev/dvb/adapter0/net1 The bus of the two frontend is shared, isn't possible to get access to both frontend simultaneously, so I get an -EBUSY error by trying accessing frontend1 if frontend0 is … [View More]

portability or VDR on FreeBSD
by Joerg Pulz 10 Jul '10

10 Jul '10

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello list. As the subject already says, this is about VDR portability, or how to get VDR up and running on a FreeBSD system. In times where we have such really nice plugins like softdevice and streamdev, we no longer need real MPEG2 or DVB hardware in a VDR system. As i want to use my FreeBSD systems to watch TV or play VDR recordings i decided to give porting VDR to FreeBSD a try. Attached you can find the results. In short terms: It simply … [View More]

So please CC me. In my case the problem is that the directory where the UTF8 locale is stored is: /usr/share/locale/es_ES.utf8/ if I change to: /usr/share/locale/es_ES.UTF8 All work ok.

No Audio on ATSC Qam256 or OTA..
by Rob Davis 15 Feb '10

15 Feb '10

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 … [View More]

Plugin compiler arguments / Make.config
by Frank Schmirler 06 Dec '09

06 Dec '09

Hi there, since vdr-1.7.3, VDR is compiled with the additional arguments -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_LARGEFILE64_SOURCE Plugins should be compiled with the same arguments as otherwise one might get unresolved symbols when loading the plugin. Consistently, in vdr-1.7.4 these defines have been added to the plugin part of Make.config.template. But that won't fix anything for the people who don't use a Make.config at all (those who do, need to check if something has changed in … [View More]

[ANNOUNCE] VDR developer version 1.7.8
by Klaus Schmidinger 25 Oct '09

25 Oct '09

VDR developer version 1.7.8 is now available at ftp://ftp.cadsoft.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-1.7.8.tar.bz2 A 'diff' against the previous version is available at ftp://ftp.cadsoft.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-1.7.7-1.7.8.diff WARNING: ======== This is a *developer* version. Even though *I* use it in my productive environment. I strongly recommend that you only use it under controlled conditions and for testing and debugging. IMPORTANT: ========== If you use a full featured DVB card for … [View More]replay you need the DVB driver version from http://linuxtv.org/hg/v4l-dvb in order to replay TS recordings! Users of full featured DVB cards also need to use a new firmware, available at http://www.escape-edv.de/endriss/firmware The changes since version 1.7.7: - The name of the function cDevice::GetVideoSize() wasn't very well chosen for its purpose of defining the optimum size of the OSD for the current output device. Therefore a new function named cDevice::GetOsdSize() has been introduced (suggested by Rolf Ahrenberg). Plugin authors should implement this function in classes derived from cDevice, if they are able to replay video. cDevice::GetVideoSize() still exists and should return the actual size of the video material that is currently replayed. Note that because of the many possible aspect ratios for video material, the type of the Aspect parameter of GetVideoSize() has been changed to 'double', and the Aspect parameter in both functions is named differently, because it returns different values (suggested by Reinhard Nissl). Thanks to Oliver Endriss for his input on calculating the Aspect factor in GetOsdSize(). - Fixed the way the OSD size is determined on full featured DVB cards (thanks to Oliver Endriss). - Increased MAXOSDHEIGHT to 1200 (suggested by Nicolas Huillard). - Removed limitation to PAL resolution from SPU handling. - Checking fd_video in cDvbDevice::GetVideoSize() to avoid error messages on systems with no real primary replay device (reported by Martin Neuditschko). - Added a note to cTsToPes::GetPes() about having to call it repeatedly, once it has returned a non-NULL value. - Added MPEG 1 handling to remux.c (thanks to Ales Jurik). - Fixed use of time_t in cEIT::cEIT() (thanks to Tobias Bratfisch). - Added missing update of lastOsdSizeUpdate. - EIT events are now only processed if a plausible system time is available, to avoid wrong handling of PDC descriptors (thanks to Tobias Bratfisch). - Removed unused 'synced' member from cTsToPes (reported by Christoph Haubrich). - Added a note to cTsToPes about all TS packets having to belong to the same PID, and that for video data GetPes() may only be called if the next TS packet that will be given to PutTs() has the "payload start" flag set (suggested by Christoph Haubrich). - Added a note about the meaning of PERCENTAGEDELTA in cRingBuffer::UpdatePercentage() (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - The new setup option "Recording/Pause key handling" can be used to define what happens if the Pause key on the remote control is pressed during live tv (thanks to Timo Eskola). - Added a note about cFont::GetFont() not being thread-safe. - Fixed generating PAT/PMT version numbers in case the PIDs change during recording (reported by Reinhard Nissl). - Updated the Ukrainian OSD texts (thanks to Yarema Aka Knedlyk). - Fixed a memory leak when reaching the end of a recording during replay (reported by Reinhard Nissl). - Fixed calling close(-1) in cUnbufferedFile::Close() (reported by Reinhard Nissl). - Added a workaround for the broken linux-dvb driver header files (based on a patch from Tobias Grimm). - Fixed handling the length of DiSEqC command sequences (reported by Reinhard Nissl). - Fixed cOsdMenu::Display() in case the menu size has changed (thanks to Reinhard Nissl). - Added some missing 'const' keywords to avoid compilation errors with gcc 4.4 (thanks to Ville Skyttä and Ludwig Nussel). - Modified cSVDRP::CmdGRAB() to avoid writing into const data (reported by Ludwig Nussel). - Fixed calculating menu colum widths in case the font has a size other than the default size (reported by Reinhard Nissl). - Added a plausibility check for the OSD percentage parameters to avoid problems in case the values are stored in the setup.conf file in a wrong way. - Fixed variable types in cIndexFile (reported by Udo Richter). Have fun! Klaus [View Less]
