vdraepg.rb not working
by Simon Baxter 26 Mar '10

26 Mar '10

I only just recently discovered this script for copying EPG from one channel to another. I have a couple of DVB-C cards, and use the PVRINPUT plugin to drive a PVR-500 dual analog card. I can't get this to work though. printchannels.pl -c /etc/vdr/vdr-1.6.0/channels.conf gives me the channels I want to copy to/from: ONE;T C-182-10-1005 TV2;T C-182-10-1006 TV3;T C-182-0-1003 Prime TV;T C-182-2-212 C4;T C-182-6-609 ONE_A C-0-112-1796 TV2_A C-0-119-1908 TV3_A C-0-126-2020 Prime TV_A C-0-189-2134 C4_A C-0-203-2135 So I put this into /vdraepg.conf : #source-channel, target-channel, time-adjustment C-182-10-1005, C-0-112-1796, 0 #ONE;C -> ONE_A C-182-10-1006, C-0-119-1908, 0 #TV2;C -> TV2_A C-182-0-1003, C-0-126-2020, 0 #TV3;C -> TV3_A C-182-2-212, C-0-189-2134, 0 #PRIME;C -> PRIME TV_A C-182-6-609, C-0-203-2135, 0 #C3;C -> C4_A but when I run: /root/bin/vdraepg.rb -s /root/bin -c /etc/vdr/vdr-1.6.0 I get these messages (which look OK): 250 EPG data processed 221 freddy.nzbaxters closing connection But no epg data is transfered What am I doing wrong?

Re: [vdr] VDR 1.7.x, FUPPES and an xbox 360 client

Hi Denis, I wish I had the skills to help you with the programming but bash and a bit of C is all I can manage. Perhaps it would be simpler (and achieve the same end) if you implement a feature the plugin can read an alternative to channels.conf . This way in my case for example I would copy and paste a few essential channels and let the plugin load them but no way I can let it loose on a channels.conf with more than 1000 entries... About vdr recordings... FUPPES chokes on my vdr folder, so does not seem to be .TS friendly Anybody knows if minidlna supports streaming .TS files ? I guess I will find out in a few hours anyways... Date: Thu, 25 Mar 2010 15:00:40 +0100 From: Denis Loh <denis.loh(a)web.de> Subject: Re: [vdr] VDR 1.7.x, FUPPES and an xbox 360 client To: VDR Mailing List <vdr(a)linuxtv.org> Message-ID: <c86431b51003250700x737e00d4p56b286c7d777de96(a)mail.gmail.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" I feel sorry, that you were facing so many problems with the plugin. Actually, it is still very bugous and will take some time to fix them. If you are a programmer, feel free to help me improving it. I will consider your idea to include a discard-all-but channel listing feature. Recordings (except H.264) are supported yet in version 0.0.2-alpha. Back to FUPPES: I haven't ever used FUPPES, so I just can say that this should work. But I am not sure. Try it and you will "see".

VDR 1.7.x, FUPPES and an xbox 360 client
by martinez 25 Mar '10

25 Mar '10

I have downloaded vdr-upnp and will give it a try but I see (please correct me if I am wrong) two points of concern a) It works only for live tv, not vdr .TS recordings (which I am most interested in streaming to my xbox 360) b) My channels.conf has over 1000 channels, neatly divided in groups. The vdr-upnp documentation states you can exclude certain channels from the plugin, but this could take for ages as I would only be interested in streaming a few channels, can this be configured to exclude everything by default and only include a few that I specify? Also back to FUPPES I notice it has the following entries in the config file: <file ext="mpg"> <ext>mpeg</ext> <type>VIDEO_ITEM</type> <mime_type>video/mpeg</mime_type> </file> <file ext="vob"> <type>VIDEO_ITEM</type> <mime_type>video/x-ms-vob</mime_type> </file> <file ext="vdr"> <type>VIDEO_ITEM</type> <mime_type>video/x-extension-vdr</mime_type> <transcode enabled="true"> <ext>vob</ext> <mime_type>video/x-ms-vob</mime_type> </transcode> </file> But I think that refers to PS recordings (as it certainly was not working out of the box) No mention of H.264 in the config file... I have added the following : <file ext="ts"> <type>VIDEO_ITEM</type> <mime_type>video/mpeg-ts</mime_type> <transcode enabled="true"> <transcoder>ffmpeg</transcoder> <ext>vob</ext> <mime_type>video/x-ms-vob</mime_type> </transcode> </file> should this work? (I am not at home to test at the moment)

VDR 1.7.x, FUPPES and an xbox 360 client
by martinez 24 Mar '10

24 Mar '10

I've setup an HTPC with VDR 1.7.13 and FUPPES. The client is an xbox 360 and it can connect to FUPPES and play divx files but not VDR's .TS recordings. Anybody got this working and could tell me how to configure fuppes to transcode the .TS recordings in .VOB or .MPG so the xbox 360 can play them?

hello i try the patch from Jose Alberto to use ffmpeg eac3 with xine http://www.linuxtv.org/pipermail/vdr/2010-March/022687.html The good things is that eac3 sound is now decoded with xine-lib But it's not stable at all when zapping frhom HD to HD channel or SD channel vdr-sxfe doesn't work anymore with --video=xv on HD channels but only with --video=vdpau vdr-sxfe --tcp --video=xv --verbose [29976] [input_vdr] fifo_buffer_new...

Fw: recommended CAM settings??
by master.of.brainless.things＠gmx.net 23 Mar '10

hello, some side question: you're using this special decoder card, for 5€ per month? or the normal standard card, as i'm using? for what i know is that, alpha light doesn't work with the normal card. e.g. if i want to use this normal card, i would have to buy the alpha classic module. at least thats what everyone tolds me. currently i'm evaluating the situation, whether i sould buy a dvb-c card (like this mystique or knc-one pci cards) with alphacrypt classic. all in all > 100€. but if you're using the normal card with the light module, this would decrease the costs and increase the WAF. further on, i would be able to use the alpha light with my sony flatscreen instead the alpha classic... alex -- /* * DPRINTK("FAILURE, CAPUT\n"); * linux-2.6.6/drivers/net/tokenring/ibmtr.c */

Recording DVB-T HD infrance
by Eric Valette 23 Mar '10

23 Mar '10

Hi list, I'm been fighting over Saturday to get vdr working on my netop (atom 330 + Ion) but I must admit I loose the battle. With debian vdr 1.6.0 SD TV works fine but HD TV (TF1 HD, ARTE HD, FRANCE 2 HD, M6HD) channels fails. Theses channels use mpeg4 for video + and eac3 (except ARTE HD) for audio as described here <http://www.digitalbitrate.com/dbr_hd.php?link=0&note=0&lang=fr> in french I installed then vdr 1.7.13, and then got only the video stream but still no audio. As I had similar problem with mplayer/xine and it was fixed but manually editing the channels.conf (unfortunately not the same format as vdr), I think I have the same kind of problem but can find a way to correctly fix channels.conf. below are extract the working mplayer channels.conf and the channels.conf generated w_scan used for vdr. Plus the mplayer info when correctly decoding and playing the stream. Please CC when replying as I'm not suscribed --- working mplayer/xine/vlc TF1 HD:602000000:INVERSION_AUTO:BANDWIDTH_8_MHZ:FEC_AUTO:FEC_AUTO:QAM_64:TRANSMISSION_MODE_AUTO:GUARD_INTERVAL_AUTO:HIERARCHY_AUTO:110+120:110+130:1281 France 2 HD:602000000:INVERSION_AUTO:BANDWIDTH_8_MHZ:FEC_AUTO:FEC_AUTO:QAM_64:TRANSMISSION_MODE_AUTO:GUARD_INTERVAL_AUTO:HIERARCHY_AUTO:210+220:210+230:1282 M6HD:602000000:INVERSION_AUTO:BANDWIDTH_8_MHZ:FEC_AUTO:FEC_AUTO:QAM_64:TRANSMISSION_MODE_AUTO:GUARD_INTERVAL_AUTO:HIERARCHY_AUTO:310+320:310+330:1283 ----- w_scan generated vdr channels.conf TF1 HD;MR5:602000:B8M64:T:27500:120=27:0:0:0:1281:8442:5:0 France 2 HD;MR5:602000:B8M64:T:27500:220=27:0:0:0:1282:8442:5:0 M6HD;MR5:602000:B8M64:T:27500:320=27:0:0:0:1283:8442:5:0 -- here info about the stream by maplyer ---- PROGRAM_ID=0 (0x00), PMT_PID: 16(0x10) PROGRAM_ID=1281 (0x501), PMT_PID: 110(0x6E) PROGRAM_ID=1282 (0x502), PMT_PID: 210(0xD2) PROGRAM_ID=1283 (0x503), PMT_PID: 310(0x136) PROGRAM_ID=0 (0x00), PMT_PID: 16(0x10) PROGRAM_ID=1281 (0x501), PMT_PID: 110(0x6E) PROGRAM_ID=1282 (0x502), PMT_PID: 210(0xD2) PROGRAM_ID=1283 (0x503), PMT_PID: 310(0x136) VIDEO H264(pid=120) AUDIO A52(pid=130) NO SUBS (yet)!

recommended CAM settings??
by Marco Skambraks 21 Mar '10

21 Mar '10

hi, I just want to know what the recommended CAM settings are for vdr-1.7.14 I'm using an alphacrypt light smartcard: unitymedia in most cases CAM and smartcard are working correctly, but sometimes the vdr cannot decrypt the channels diretlty after channel switch I'm not sure if this is a timing problem or not maybe, I have to change some CAM settings any recommendations? thanks marco -------------------------------------------------- AMMEC - Accessible MultiMedia Entertainment Center http://www.ammec.de Support Telefon: +49 6421 968255

ERROR: driver buffer overflow on device 1
by Josce 21 Mar '10

21 Mar '10

vdr-1.7.12 + reelbox + 2 Anysee E30C USB devices Sadly quite often my vdr stops working, with the following error: localhost vdr: [2626] buffer usage: 70% (tid=2625) localhost vdr: [2626] buffer usage: 80% (tid=2625) localhost vdr: [2626] buffer usage: 90% (tid=2625) localhost vdr: [2626] buffer usage: 100% (tid=2625) localhost vdr: [2626] ERROR: driver buffer overflow on device 1 localhost vdr: [2626] ERROR: driver buffer overflow on device 1 (repeated over and over again) Just killing vdr and reloading the DVB driver doesn't fix this. I have to reboot the machine to get everything working again. Now I was wondering, when this happens how can I make vdr exit with say exit code 9, so that I can make the runvdr reboot the machine. Thanks, Josce
