Hello,
Users of the Reel Extension HD card will know that there are Problems
when TS recordings are replayed. These Problems seem to be limited to
some stations like Pro7 and even with these stations to movies that are
broadcastest with DD 5.1 audio.
Now my question: What is different between Live TV and Replay. Of course
the obvious difference is the data source (file opposed to DVB device).
But what else is different? I am wondering, because i watched a movie
without problems, while the …
[View More]recording that was done while i watched it
live, cannot be replayed. After a few minutes, the hdplayer on the
Extension card dies.

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!

Hi, i have vdr178 on ubuntu 9.04. with HVR4000 i can see DVB-S and DVB-S2 channels, but not DVB-T channels.
How to configure vdr to using multiple frontends of this card pls ?
Thank you.
I was thinking of giving xine/vdpau/xineliboutput another try after
failing earlier in the year. I came across these patches:
http://www.nfvdr.net/bbs/thread-5856-1-1.html
Is anyone using these?

Hi,
a new version of IPTV plugin is now available and contains an important
bug fix that enables correct channel switches between different
protocols.
http://www.saunalahti.fi/~rahrenbe/vdr/iptv/
2009-06-01: Version 0.3.0
- Added iptvstream-notrap.sh script.
- Fixed setting parameters when protocol changes (Thanks to Peter Holik
for reporting this one).
- Updated example scripts to use ffmpeg's direct UDP output and added a
new "image.sh" script (Thanks to Peter Holik).
BR,

Hello
Sorry if my mail is out of topic. I'm looking for a linux distro for my
vdr box. I'd like a light system (without X11 since I use a dxr3 card)
that boots fast.
Thanks

Question for Thomas I guess...
I'm in the process of setting up a PVR and just came across the FRC
project which looks very interesting!
One query I have though is the re. the restriction on the resolutions
available.
If I'm reading the patches correctly it seems that the ATI chips can
currently do 720x576 only, where the Intel chips can be configured for
1440x576 and 1600x1200 only.
The Intel driver has been patched to allow a 12MHz dot clock - is it in
fact capable of supporting 720x576 …
[View More]interlaced? If so is there a hardware
limitation preventing the FRC syncing working at this resolution?
(I ask as I'm planning to use a Mini-ITX Atom board with a GMA950 to be
hooked up to a standard-def TV. It would be good if I could use the
onboard video and leave the PCI slot free.)
Thanks

Hi
how is it possible to implement in text2skin-based skin follow information - which tokens is it possible to use for it ?
- transponders parameters
- bitrate and resolution
- type of system encryption
- BER
- video format - 16:9 or 4:3
- audio format (AC-3)
- what's token {VideoAR} {ReplayVideoAR} ?
We would like to implement that feature in new text2skin based skin - AVP

Hi,
a new femon plugin release is now available for latest development vdr
versions:
http://www.saunalahti.fi/~rahrenbe/vdr/femon/
2009-08-29: Version 1.7.3
- Removed OSD offset and height options.
- Added PES assembler.
- Added bitstream parsers for all codecs.
There has been a major rewrite since the previous release, so I
might have broken the AAC/AC3/H.264 bitstream parsers as I don't have
such streams available and couldn't find any beta testers either.
Please, report any …
[View More]regressions by email/IRC.
