SVDR - currently playing recording - How?
by Peer Oliver Schmidt 19 Mar '10

19 Mar '10

Hello, we already have SVDRP CHAN to get the currently tuned channel. Would it be possible to get a SVDRP command to return the currently playing recording? For example an extension to LSTR to mark the currently playing recording, or something like that? Does that make sense to have? It would for me, to implement status information in our LinuxMCE installation, without the need to create a plugin. -- Best regards Peer Oliver Schmidt the internet company PGP Key ID: 0x83E1C2EA

xmltv2vdr genre info added
by william 17 Mar '10

17 Mar '10

Hello all I have used the xmltv2vdr script before and was very pleased to see that it added the extended information into the epg database. Now i'm using xbmc and i did not have genre support from my broadcaster so i thought this should be possible with the xmltv2vdr script. I have been hacking around and the result: http://cobradevil.org/downloads/xmltv2vdr-1.0.8.tar.gz Could someone please review it because i'm not a programmer? just follow the readme and look into the genres.conf file. my xmltv source has the category option which represents the genre info. then run: ./xmltv2vdr -c channels.conf -g -x xmltv_data -s the output should look like this: E 36930 1268352000 3300 0 T Miami Ink: Sink or swim D Reportageserie Garver ontwerpt voor Cassandra een uniek gedenkteken ter ere van haar broer die is omgekomen in Irak, en Yoji spijbelt om samen met zijn gezin in het zwembad te ontspannen. G 90 e The G option represents the id of the genre which i took from the epg.h/c files. Is the maintainer still around? With kind regards William

So please CC me. In my case the problem is that the directory where the UTF8 locale is stored is: /usr/share/locale/es_ES.utf8/ if I change to: /usr/share/locale/es_ES.UTF8 All work ok.

vdr.git tree usage for building multiple vdr versions
by Mika Laitio 14 Mar '10

14 Mar '10

Hi I have now mostly used http://projects.vdr-developer.org/git/ as a link for cloning the vdr and all plugins I have wanted to use for building new vdr versions. So I could for example build 1.7.10 by using commands #git clone git://projects.vdr-developer.org/vdr.git #cd vdr.git #git checkout vdr-1.7.10 and then go to plugins/src dir and download all plugins there and then finally build everything by using normal #make #make plugins What I would however like to do is to use same vdr git tree for building multiple vdr versions by using something like #make O=../build-1.7.13 #make plugins O=../build-1.7.13 So that I could just use one vdr.git source tree and jump inside of it to different versions. When building kernel I already can do that by using a commands like: #git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git #git checkout v2.6.34-rc1 #mkdir ../build-2.6.34-rc1 #make xconfig O=../build-2.6.34-rc1 #make O=../build-2.6.34-rc1 #git checkout <another version...> Has anybody doing something like that with vdr?

[ANNOUNCE] VDR developer version 1.7.14
by Klaus Schmidinger 14 Mar '10

14 Mar '10

VDR developer version 1.7.14 is now available at ftp://ftp.tvdr.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-1.7.14.tar.bz2 A 'diff' against the previous version is available at ftp://ftp.tvdr.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-1.7.13-1.7.14.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 1.7.13: - Fixed handling empty strings in cSource::FromString(). - Assigned the source character 'I' to "IPTV" (suggested by Rolf Ahrenberg). - Assigned the source character 'V' to "Analog Video" (suggested by Lars Hanisch). This obsoletes the ANALOGTV patch. - Added support for ATSC devices (thanks to Alex Lasnier). This obsoletes the ATSC patch. - The "Source" item in the "Edit channel" menu now wraps around the list of sources (suggested by Halim Sahin). - Fixed editing channel parameters. - The new setup option "Recording/Delete timeshift recording" controls whether a timeshift recording is automatically deleted after viewing it. This obsoletes the DELTIMESHIFTREC patch. Note that the meaning of the values for this option is different from the DELTIMESHIFTREC patch: 0 means timeshift recordings are not automatically deleted (the default behavior as in previous versions), while 1 means to ask the user whether the recording shall be deleted. - Added cChannel::IsSourceType() to test if a channel's source is of a given type. - Changed the polarization characters in cDvbSourceParam::GetOsdItem() to uppercase. - The full timer file name is now displayed if it ends with "TITLE" or "EPISODE" (pointed out by Udo Richter). - Fixed "attempt to drop wrong frame from ring buffer" when skipping +/- one minute during replay. - The new setup option "Folders in timer menu" controls whether the file names in the timer menu are shown with their full folder path. Have fun! Klaus

vdr-1.7.13-dvbsourceparam.diff patch trouble

Re: [vdr] Feature request: program guide scroll

Hi Klaus, I think your proposal would be very good and increase the usuability of the interface while keeping the behaviour consistent. Can we look forward to this in 1.7.14? :) cheers, Art Date: Fri, 12 Mar 2010 16:28:28 +0100 From: Klaus Schmidinger <Klaus.Schmidinger(a)tvdr.de> Subject: Re: [vdr] Feature request: program guide scroll To: vdr(a)linuxtv.org Message-ID: <4B9A5D9C.1060607(a)tvdr.de> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 On 12.03.2010 08:33, Istv?n F?ley wrote: Hello list, At the moment if I press the Guide button (or select a specific program from EPG list) i can see the detailed description of the event. Now pressing up/down or left/right scrolls the "Long Description", if this doesn't fit in the OSD window. I wonder if it's possible to implement a different behaviour for the left/right keys: to "scroll" between programs. Pressing right should bring up the next event, pressing left should bring up the previous event. To scroll in the OSD window Up and Down are fine. "Left" and "Right" are used to page up/down within long list, and that's not going to change. However, we could use the Green and Yellow buttons (and additionally the kPrev and kNext keys) for this.
