dvb devices on demand patch
by Steffen Barszus 05 Dec '10

05 Dec '10

Hi ! i just read up again on this: http://www.mail-archive.com/vdr@linuxtv.org/msg13224.html Actually i think this would be also a good starting for a) save some energy - if DVB devices are not opened all the time, the driver has the chance to put it into standby saving some heat, energy and lifetime of the cards b) have a beginning of dvb device hotplug - if dvb devices are discovered on demand, its a good chance at a later stage to also add and remove cards on the fly. There is sure some notification required from udev to vdr so it can keep internal reference of the how many devices are there. Not that i could help in doing this - being aware it might take a while until its finished - but i still thought to share my thoughts, that this addition is not only usefull for shared frontends, but also for general usage. Hope the work on this is continued and possibly accepted by Klaus after some review and as work in progress. Kind Regards Steffen

[PATCH] Improved pause handling
by Matti Lehtimäki 02 Dec '10

02 Dec '10

Hi, Sometimes when you want to pause live video you are already recording the current channel. In such case it is not practical to start a new instant recording but it would be more practical to start replaying the recording already being made, jump to correct position in the recording and then pause. So I have implemented this for VDR-1.7.16 as a patch which adds two new options to "Pause kay handling" menu item to enable this behavior with or without confirmation. Any improvements or suggestions are welcome. -- Matti Lehtimäki

VGA2SCART and Broadcom Crystal HD
by Damien Bally 01 Dec '10

01 Dec '10

Hello I plan to buy an D945GSEJT to build my new VDR box and I would give a try to the VGA2SCART (FRC) output. My TV-set is still a good old CRT. 1) Is the quality comparable to a dxr3 card which I am satisfied with ? 2) Can it be used with a BCM70015 card in order to play HD channels ? Thanks Damien

Epia MII questions
by Rene 01 Dec '10

01 Dec '10

Hi all! Is there anyone out there who is using the Via Epia MII 10000 or 12000 board with a current kernel and the 1.6.x build of vdr? I would need some some up to date-help in getting the onboard mpeg2-chip in use with the softdevice-plugin. I'm currently running my system with a budget technotrend dvb-t card, and a full featured dvb-s card that handles the output of the picture. Now i'm moving to an area with a dvb-c network, and for that i got my hands on two buget dvb-c cards. All documents i find is mainly for old 2.6 kernels (for example 2.6.10), and what i understood, the unichrome/cle266 patches for the onboard mpeg2 chip is not included in DirectFB or the main kernel itself... Best Regards, René
