10 Year Anniversary of VDR
by Klaus Schmidinger 01 Mar '10

01 Mar '10

It has been exactly 10 years since version 0.01 of VDR (originally named "OSM" - On Screen Menu) was released. I want to use the occasion to thank everybody who has contributed to VDR, but also those who simply use VDR in their every day life. I for one couldn't imagine watching tv without VDR any more. Special thanks go to the people running the VDR-Portal (www.vdr-portal.de). Originally I intended to release version 2.0 of VDR at the 10th anniversary, but as ever so often, I ran out of time. But I'm still on it - stability comes before deadlines ;-) I hope you don't think I'm blowing my own horn here, I just didn't want the date to pass by without a remark... Klaus

ANNOUNCE vdr-ttxtsubs 0.2.0 for VDR 1.7.12
by Tobi 27 Feb '10

27 Feb '10

This release brings an update and major refactorings of the VDR patch for VDR 1.7.12. The Subtitle OSD rendering has been simplified and now allows outlined texts (background for non-outlined-text will be added later). Special credits go to Rolf Ahrenberg for helping with the VDR patch and Oliver Hochgartz and mjl for testing! Thanks a lot! The changes: * Added Ukrainian translation by Yarema aka Knedlyk (Closes #130) * Some code refactoring * Major VDR patch update for 1.7.12 (Closes #236, References #139)) - The patch now covers the following changes to VDR: - Record teletext subtitles - Added setup option to enable teletext subtitle recording - Allow configuration of fixed teletetxt subtitle pages - Capture teletext subtitle pages from PMT - Pass teletext date ttxtsubs plugin Special Thx to Rolf Ahrenberg! * Fixed replay when the current live ttxtsubs page differs from the one in the recording - Thx to Rolf Ahrenberg (Closes #139) * Show colored subtitles if color information is provided e.g. for different speakers and dropped custom color settings (Closes #61) * Position subtitles always centered at the bottom, independent of the OSD resolution and dropped custom text position settings (Closes #231) * Render subtitles outlined (Closes #51) * Decrypt encrypted teletext stream (Closes #241) * Don't redisplay unchanged subtitle pages As always: Any help is welcome! Development site: http://projects.vdr-developer.org/projects/show/plg-ttxtsubs Downloads: http://projects.vdr-developer.org/projects/list_files/plg-ttxtsubs Git-Web: http://projects.vdr-developer.org/git/?p=vdr-plugin-ttxtsubs.git Anonymous Git-access : git://projects.vdr-developer.org/vdr-plugin-ttxtsubs.git The Git repository for the ttxsubs VDR patch is obsolete - it's just too hard to maintain the patches in a public Git. This is intended to be a community maintained project! Don't expect me to fix your problems, I'm merely maintaining the project! Please report any bugs, ideas or feature requests to the project site (no registration required for this!). If you want to contribute patches, new features or whatever, post an issue or patch to the projects issue tracker or request to join the project. I would happily add everyone as a project member, who would like to contribute to the project! Tobias

requesting new feature, support for scr unicable lnb
by elimodel 25 Feb '10

25 Feb '10

hi guys, i' ve an lnb, scr unicable, that can support a different use. the standard lnb, choose only the band high or low, and the polarization, H or V, then in the cable we have a quarter of the full sat band high V , high H, low V or low H, then if we have multiple tuner, we can receive only the trasponder on the choosen band and polarization here in italy, who have sky it multivision, or sky recorder, have a special lnb, named SCR or UNICABLE, where the receiver, tell to the lnb, the exact frequency for the trasponder that will receive, the extact polarization, the downlink frequency (choosen onto the 4 frequency avaiable) and the lnb, put in downlink, only this trasponder , in this manner, the frequency spectrum on the cable is empty, and another receiver, or a receiver with two tuner, can ask for another trasponder, with another polarization, onto another downlink frequency, with at max 4 (or 8) separate downlink frequency. the enteire dialoge trought the receiver and the lnb, is made via DISEQC 1.2 command, on the base of the specification made by st microelectronics i've made, a little C program that bring in input the frequency, polarization, the downlink frequency, and print to the screen the diseqc command if i use this command, and put it on the diseqc.conf , manage the channels.conf to receive one trasponder on the downlink frequency, it's work!! is possible to make a patch or plugin to use this system too? who is interested in it? i'm sorry, but my c++ skill isnt enought to make this!, and i must ask HEEELP!!! bye!!!

scan-s2 and dvb-apps
by Manu Abraham 23 Feb '10

23 Feb '10

Hi All, Recently, quite some people have been requesting for scan-s2 a simple scan application which has been hacked on top of the scan application as available in the dvb-apps tree, to be integrated/pulled in to the dvb-apps tree, after it's author moved on to other arenas. http://www.mail-archive.com/vdr@linuxtv.org/msg11125.html The idea initially was to have a cloned copy of scan as scan-s2. Now, on the other hand scan-s2 is much more like scan and similar functionality wise too. Considering the aspects, do you think, that it is worthwhile to have a) the scan-s2 application and the scan application as well integrated into the repository, such that they both live together or b) scan-s2 does things almost the same as scan2. scan can be replaced by scan-s2. What are your ideas/thoughts on this ? Regards, Manu

[ANNOUNCE] vdr-remotetimers-0.1.3
by Frank Schmirler 22 Feb '10

22 Feb '10

Hi there, remotetimers-0.1.3 is available from http://vdr.schmirler.de. This version is required when running VDR 1.7.12. The only real new feature is support for folders.conf, which has been introduced by VDR 1.7.12. In this new config file you can define a list of directories and subdirectories. When editing a timer or a recording you can then select one of these entries instead of having to type it in. Remotetimers contains a backport of this new VDR feature, so you will get a folders.conf even with older VDR versions, but of course only in remotetimers own menus. Changelog: - API changes for VDR 1.7.12+ - Backported VDR 1.7.12 folders.conf. "Edit timer" and "Edit recording" menus feature folder selection regardless of VDR version. - Updated Italian translations (thanks to Diego Pierotto) - Dropped the now obsolete cMenuEditPathItem - Updated the menu parts copied from VDR to 1.7.12 - Silenced warning about suggested parentheses Have fun! Frank
