No EIT for channel Yesterday
by Tony Houghton 25 Aug '09

25 Aug '09

By Yesterday I don't mean the day before today, I mean a channel on Freeview, the UK's DVB-T network :). VDR doesn't seem to be able to get the EIT data for the Yesterday channel. The code I've written for boxstar can grab it OK, so I don't think there's anything special about the channel. Does VDR try to scan the EIT for programmes on other frequencies as well as the currently tuned one? Boxstar does. Perhaps VDR doesn't, and this channel doesn't carry its own EIT for some reason. Freesat has some weird quirks like that (as well as using non-standard PIDs) but I thought Freeview was a lot more conventional. -- TH * http://www.realh.co.uk

xineliboutput vs xine-vdr plugin
by Torgeir Veimo 25 Aug '09

25 Aug '09

Am wondering if the xineliboutput is a tad better thant xine-vdr w/ xine patched for vdpau? I currently use the latter, with the advantage that I can stop xine in order to run xbmc and possibly toggle between them using a lirc hotkey setup, all the while vdr runs all the time in the background for eventual recordings, but it seems that xineliboutput might have some more advanced features wrt cropping etc? -- -Tor

[vdr] 1.7.9 patches Thanks for the link Goga The extensions patch there applied clean to vdr 1.7.9 but then enabling SETUP = 1 and TTXTSUBS = 1 results in errors. Did somebody manage to have somehow vdr 1.7.9 with SETUP and TTXTSUBS working?

I have tried a lot of HD-channels on Thor 0.8W without success and I have to use bob deinterlace filter or else the hardware drops frames.

EPG information kpn digitenne vdr 1.7.8
by william＠cobradevil.org 24 Aug '09

24 Aug '09

Hello all I have a question about the epg information in vdr. digitenne does a good job with epg info. They deliver two weeks epg but i have one problem. They probably don't send genre information. I use xbmc svn tree pvr-testing. This is still work in progress but it works great. The pvr client does patch streamdev for stuff like teletext which works ok. The problem i have is when showing the epg guide which fetches the info from the epg.data file from vdr. The epg.data file contains the folowing: == E 70 1251180000 600 50 10 T NOS Journaal met gebarentolk S Serie. e == XBMC can show genre in colors and probably in the future you can select a specific genre but now the genre information is not available(probably not in the stream). So i thought using xmltv2vdr which can extend the already known data. The xml file i get contains the folowing == <programme start="20090823110500 +0200" stop="20090823120000 +0200" channel="25" > <title lang="nl">True life</title> <desc lang="nl">Reportageserie met opmerkelijke real-life verhalen over jonge mensen en de subculturen waartoe zij behoren.</desc> <category>Educational</category> </programme> == What for me is important is the peace category which contains the genre information. So i tried to import that data with the xmltv2vdr script which you can download from the vdr site. When i run the script with the modified channels.conf and the xml file it puts the new data in the epg data file but not the genre information. So i tried to do it manualy with telnet and added the genre info like this: telnet localhost 2001 PUTE C T-8720-2212-25 Animal Planet;Digitenne E 10140 1251016200 1800 0 T Wildlife SOS D Reportageserie Geen detailgegevens beschikbaar. G Sports (Genre) e c . = But i get an error 451 Error while processing EPG data Is there a possibility to add the G parameter or is it something else? I'm not a real programmer but i'm familiar with linux for about ten years so thats not a problem. Can someone shed some light? I'm out of ideas ;( Will try the latest version also tomorrow. With kind regards William

[ANNOUNCE] VDR developer version 1.7.9
by Klaus Schmidinger 23 Aug '09

23 Aug '09

VDR developer version 1.7.9 is now available at ftp://ftp.cadsoft.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-1.7.9.tar.bz2 A 'diff' against the previous version is available at ftp://ftp.cadsoft.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-1.7.8-1.7.9.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. The changes since version 1.7.8: - Fixed storing the current OSD size in case the device has changed it in its setup menu (reported by Reinhard Nissl). - Fixed cDevice::PlayTsVideo() and cDevice::PlayTsAudio() in case only part of the buffer has been accepted by the device (reported by Udo Richter). - Changed the EIT filter setup to save a few handles on devices that do hardware filtering. - Fixed deleting expired timers if they have the VPS flag set, but the event they are assigned to doesn't have a VPS tag. - Fixed handling file name length on VFAT systems in case they contain UTF-8 characters (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - Fixed generating CaPmts in case audio and video are encrypted using different ECM pids. - Updated vdr.1 to use the new file names in recording directories. - Fixed cRecordings::DelByName() to avoid compilation errors with gcc 4.4 (thanks to Matthias Schwarzott). - Increased the value of MAXFRAMESIZE to better suit HD recordings (thanks to Reinhard Nissl). - Implemented full handling of subtitling descriptors (thanks to Mikko Tuumanen). Have fun! Klaus

vdr-1.6.0 SVDRP EPG processing problems
by Simon Baxter 22 Aug '09

22 Aug '09

Hi I use xmltv2vdr to process .xml EPG listings and populate VDR. VDR seems to be processing the EPG (via SVDRP) into and across two channels. There's no error in the xmltv2vdr - seems to be a VDR problem. Example: here's a snippet from "./xmltv2vdr.pl -x listings-sky.xml -c test.channels.vibe -s >>output" C C-182-5-504 Vibe;T E 8270 1250904000 3000 0 T Smallville D Clark is amazed when a pesticide magnate somehow convinces Jonathan to sell the family farm to make way for a new plant. e E 8320 1250907000 2700 0 T Smallville D When Clark rescues his classmate from harm during an electrical storm, they are both struck by lightning - resulting in all of Clark's superpowers being transferred. Lex confronts Clark about his powers. e c C C-182-2-212 Prime TV;T E 8300 1250905800 1800 0 T Chequered Flag D Czech Moto GP Highlights - Moto GP returns after its summer break with the Czech GP at Brno and Valentino Rossi holding a slim lead over rivals Jorge Lorenzo and Casey Stoner. e ....but when I do a "LSTE at 1250905800" The "Chequered Flag" program is appearing in Prime and Vibe: 215-C C-182-5-504 Vibe 215-E 8300 1250905800 1800 0 FF 215-T Chequered Flag 215-D Czech Moto GP Highlights - Moto GP returns after its summer break with the Czech GP at Brno and Valentino Rossi holding a slim lead over rivals Jorge Lorenzo and Casey Stoner. 215-e 215-C C-182-10-1004 Prime TV 215-E 8300 1250905800 1800 0 FF 215-T Chequered Flag 215-D Czech Moto GP Highlights - Moto GP returns after its summer break with the Czech GP at Brno and Valentino Rossi holding a slim lead over rivals Jorge Lorenzo and Casey Stoner. 215-e 215-c Any ideas why this is happening??? -Simon
