runvr extreme with different lirc device?
by Torgeir Veimo 14 Feb '10

14 Feb '10

What's the proper way to configure a different lirc socket path with runvdr-extreme? Eg. I need to pass --lirc=/var/run/lirc/lircd to VDR, as this is the new default lirc socket path with lirc 0.8.6. -- -Tor

[ANNOUNCE] Bandwidth limiting patch for FF cards (VDR-1.6)
by Udo Richter 13 Feb '10

13 Feb '10

Hi list, One of the known problems of the FF-DVB cards is the bandwidth limitation, that is addressed by the full-ts-mod for example. However, there are still enough FF cards out there that are not and wont ever be modded, and these cards tend to produce broken recordings on high bandwidth channels. I've written an experimental patch to avoid this by limiting the total bandwidth of the DVB card for recording and playback. In case that the bandwidth exceeds the allowed maximum, the playback gets reduced to I-frame only, audio only or complete suspend. Recording is not limited. The patch is still fresh and not well tested, so its only recommended for experimenting. Also, there's only a VDR-1.6 patch now, VDR-1.7 needs a rewrite for TS, and will follow later. For first experiments, set Setup -> DVB -> FF DVB Bandwidth Limit (kbit) to something around 14000-15000. Get it: http://www.udo-richter.de/vdr/patches.en.html#bandwidthlimit Cheers, Udo

Subtitle size with mplayer plugin
by Pedro Ribeiro 12 Feb '10

12 Feb '10

Hello all, I have vdr setup for DVB-T and to view some video files in mplayer. The most annoying problem I have is how to control subtitle size when viewing videos in mplayer. I'm using slave mode. Besides this, the OSD does not resize automatically when I'm viewing low-res videos and gets cut in the bottom. Can anyone please give me a hand on either one of these 2 problems? Many thanks, Pedro

Hauppauge PVR-HD and IPTV plugin
by Rob Davis 10 Feb '10

10 Feb '10

Hi, I have a Hauppauge PVR-HD which works but creating an h264 ts stream from a set HD component inputs and does quite a nice job of it. The ts stream is available on /dev/video0 and a simple cat /dev/video0 >file.ts will create a watchable high quality dump.. I have got this working with freevo (after a little hacking) but would prefer to get the input into vdr as I can then watch it around the house through streaming. Using vdr-iptv I can get some of the way, but not all of it.. Playing around with different options I get either jerky video or ffmpeg just stops transcoding after a few seconds, and I'm not sure why... I can put a 2 minute ts stream somewhere if it would help but I think it will decode a file before decoding from /dev/video0 Hauppuage-test;IPTV:1000:IPTV|S0P0|EXT|hauppauge.sh|951:P:0:256:257:0:0:1000:1:1:0 > more /tmp/iptvstream > > Script started 951 4321 > Getting new URL > /dev/video0 > Change Channel to 951 on Cable Box > starting with node: 1 > node 1: vendor_id = 0x000024a0 model_id = 0x0000ea05 > AV/C Command: 951 = Op1=0x00487C29 Op2=0x00487C25 Op3=0x00487C21 > Streamsvideo.sh PID is 14632 > Streamdev Plugin 951 /dev/video0 > pid of ffmpeg.streamdev 14639 > 14632 > FFmpeg version SVN-r21686, Copyright (c) 2000-2010 Fabrice Bellard, et al. > built on Feb 7 2010 22:27:31 with gcc 4.3.3 > configuration: --prefix=/usr --libdir=/usr/lib --shlibdir=/usr/lib > --mandir=/usr/share/man --enable-static --enable-shared > --cc=i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc --d > isable-debug --disable-ffplay --enable-libx264 --enable-libxvid > --disable-indev=oss --disable-indev=jack --disable-outdev=oss > --enable-x11grab --enable-pth > reads --disable-altivec --cpu=athlon-fx --enable-gpl --enable-version3 > --enable-postproc --enable-avfilter --enable-avfilter-lavf > --disable-stripping --ena > ble-hardcoded-tables --disable-doc > libavutil 50. 9. 0 / 50. 9. 0 > libavcodec 52.52. 0 / 52.52. 0 > libavformat 52.51. 0 / 52.51. 0 > libavdevice 52. 2. 0 / 52. 2. 0 > libavfilter 1.17. 0 / 1.17. 0 > libswscale 0.10. 0 / 0.10. 0 > libpostproc 51. 2. 0 / 51. 2. 0 > [mpegts @ 0x807a3a0]max_analyze_duration reached > [mpegts @ 0x807a3a0]Estimating duration from bitrate, this may be > inaccurate > > Seems stream 0 codec frame rate differs from container frame rate: > 119.88 (120000/1001) -> 59.94 (60000/1001) > Input #0, mpegts, from '/dev/video0': > Duration: N/A, start: 0.387044, bitrate: 169 kb/s > Program 1 > Stream #0.0[0x1011]: Video: h264, yuv420p, 1280x720 [PAR 1:1 DAR > 16:9], 59.92 fps, 59.94 tbr, 90k tbn, 119.88 tbc > Stream #0.1[0x1100]: Audio: aac, 48000 Hz, 2 channels, s16, 169 kb/s > [mpegts @ 0x85f2a80]calculated bitrate 2293687 bps, muxrate 2293687 > bps, sdt every 762, pat/pmt every 152 pkts > Output #0, mpegts, to 'udp://127.0.0.1:4321?pkt_size=32712': > Stream #0.0, 1/90000: Video: mpeg2video, yuv420p, 1280x720 [PAR > 1:1 DAR 16:9], 1/25, q=2-31, 2000 kb/s, 90k tbn, 25 tbc > Stream #0.1, 1/90000: Audio: mp2, 48000 Hz, 2 channels, s16, 192 kb/s > Stream mapping: > Stream #0.0 -> #0.0 > Stream #0.1 -> #0.1 > Press [q] to stop encoding > [h264 @ 0x808eb00]no picture > [mpegts @ 0x85f2a80]dts < pcr, TS is invalidme=1.25 > bitrate=3297.2kbits/s dup=0 drop=42 > frame= 146 fps= 29 q=12.2 size= 1843kB time=5.76 > bitrate=2645.8kbits/s dup=0 drop=178 > frame= 178 fps= 29 q=11.7 size= 2178kB time=7.03 > bitrate=2537.3kbits/s dup=0 drop=244 Then it just freezes...

[PATCH] vdr-1.7.12 - few libsi exports needed in eepg plugin
by Lucian Muresan 10 Feb '10

10 Feb '10

Hello folks, recently I re-adjusted my antenna to receive the BBC channels and discovered that EPG is only available for the current and next event, and then found out in the vdr-portal that there is the EEPG plugin which decodes the extended EPG data they send (see http://www.linuxtv.org/vdrwiki/index.php/Eepg-plugin). Well, wanting to quickly write a gentoo ebuild for it, I discovered that the build fails because the author included libsi/si.c (not si.h) to compile the plugin. While this might work when building plugins "by hand" inside a vdr sources tree, or on a distribution where the sources (not only headers) are available, I'm sure that's not good practice at all. It's better to ask the maintainer of the respective library, class or C file to export what's needed through the header. Well, Klaus, would you please consider adding this patch to the next release? Just exporting 2 functions and a flag, if you prefer you could export the flag through a read-only access function, too. Thank you, Lucian
