System unresponsive and picture breakup with VDR 1.7.10 and Tevii S660 (USB)
by Niels Wagenaar 12 Mar '10

12 Mar '10

Hello All, For a couple of months I'm very happy with my new Asus ION/330. But last week I decided to swap my Hauppauge NOVA-HD-S2 for an USB based Tevii S660. The reason, I wanted to get me a new HTPC enclosure and to use my Reel ExtensionHD (the Asus ATN37A only has one PCI-slot available). I use the The VDR Team PPA builds (VDR 1.7.10) with the latest CVS of the xineliboutput plugin. Now I encounter a strange problem. During the start of VDR I encounter system unresponsiveness. It hangs a … [View More]

Can somebody confirm that using enna as a media player, integration with vdr via the vdr-xine plugin is good including the OSD? How does one navigate from enna to vdr and viceversa?

VDR doesn't add new h264 SD DVB-T channels
by Magnus H 12 Mar '10

12 Mar '10

Hi. Since february there are some new h264 SD channels in the Swedish DVB-T network. I have my VDR 1.7.13 setup to automatically add transponders and channels and that has always worked before, both on DVB-T and -S/S2. However, if I manually add one channel on this new frequency: Discovery T&L;Discovery Communications:506000000:B8C23G8M64T8Y0:T:27500:489=27:0:0:0:570:8945:1026:0 , containing: Stream #0.0[0x1e9]: Video: h264, yuv420p, 544x576 [PAR 64:33 DAR 544:297], 25 fps, 25 tbr, 90k … [View More]

streamdev-server and pvrinput: TS-mode streaming is not working
by L. Hanisch 11 Mar '10

11 Mar '10

Hi, I'm trying to get TS-mode-streaming working with pvrinput and streamdev-server but have no luck. pvrinput is sending a valid TS now including PAT, PMT and PCR packets (PCR is derived from the SCR of the PS). But streamdev-server does not receive any PAT and PMT so it will not send them to the client (vlc in my tests). So vlc doesn't display anything, because it doesn't know anything about the sent PIDs. The entry in channels.conf contains the right PIDs. I inserted debug-logs … [View More]

Re: [vdr] Timer macros vs. filename in "Edit timers"

Anything else > would probably quickly become "rocket science" ,-) > > Klaus As already mentioned by Udo, the current behaviour often generates useless names when using search timers for series. It may be a problem of bad epg data, but the quality of the epg data is as it is. I never had any problems before with displaying the recording name. But … [View More]

vdr on system with raid during resync bus loading
by Timothy D. Lenz 08 Mar '10

08 Mar '10

I have been working on 2 vdr computers, both using raid and last night I noticed a problem. I saw the drive light was on steady shortly after I updated xine. So I checked to see if there was a problem and found the video was freezing for 10-20secs every 10-20 secs. I logged in through ssh and found the system very un-slugish. I it's once a month that mdadm checks the drives to make sure they are in sync. I stopped vdr/xine/x and it was still very slow to respond. It's an Athlon64 x2 and … [View More]

[ANNOUNCE] VDR developer version 1.7.13
by Klaus Schmidinger 07 Mar '10

07 Mar '10

VDR developer version 1.7.13 is now available at ftp://ftp.tvdr.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-1.7.13.tar.bz2 A 'diff' against the previous version is available at ftp://ftp.tvdr.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-1.7.12-1.7.13.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 1.7.12: - Updated the Italian OSD texts … [View More](thanks to Diego Pierotto). - Changed the position of Sirius 4 to S4.8E in sources.conf (thanks to Alexander Gross). - Updated the Finnish OSD texts (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - Moved the declaration of cMenuCommands to menu.h, so that plugins can use it. - Added a note to the MANUAL, saying that adding new transponders only works if the "EPG scan" is active (suggested by Halim Sahim). - Improved handling frames at the beginning and end of a recording in cDvbPlayer for devices with large buffers (thanks to Reinhard Nissl). - Implemented cDeviceHook to allow plugins more control over which device can provide which transponder (thanks to Reinhard Nissl). - Implemented cDevice::GetCurrentlyTunedTransponder() (thanks to Reinhard Nissl). - Moved strictly necessary Makefile options into Make.global, which is included by all plugins (thanks to Paul Menzel). The Makefiles of existing plugins should be modified like this: ------------------------------------------------------------ --- PLUGINS/src/hello/Makefile 2009/10/18 14:00:07 2.1 +++ PLUGINS/src/hello/Makefile 2010/02/06 14:50:03 2.2 @@ -18,7 +18,7 @@ ### The C++ compiler and options: CXX ?= g++ -CXXFLAGS ?= -fPIC -g -O2 -Wall -Woverloaded-virtual -Wno-parentheses +CXXFLAGS ?= -g -O2 -Wall -Woverloaded-virtual -Wno-parentheses ### The directory environment: @@ -26,6 +26,10 @@ LIBDIR = ../../lib TMPDIR = /tmp +### Make sure that necessary options are included: + +include $(VDRDIR)/Make.global + ### Allow user defined options to overwrite defaults: -include $(VDRDIR)/Make.config ------------------------------------------------------------ - Added device definitions to the diseqc.conf file format, so that certain satellite positions can be limited to a given list of devices. This obsoletes the SOURCECAPS patch. - Keeping subtitles visible when pausing replay (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - Fixed adding new transponders in case there is only a single channel in the channel list (reported by Halim Sahin). - The file name in the "Timers" menu now shows only the base name of the recording without the folder path (if any). Otherwise with long folder paths the actual recording name was not visible at all. - Updated the Romanian OSD texts (thanks to Lucian Muresan). - Exported some libsi functions (thanks to Lucian Muresan). - Improved scalability of the default skins. - Fixed the German translation of "Folder name must not contain '%c'!" (thanks to Frank Schmirler). - Updated the Estonian OSD texts (thanks to Arthur Konovalov). - Plugins can now define new sources. In order to implement this, the following changes were made: + The transponder parameter string is no longer interpreted by cChannel, but rather stored as is and used only by the respective device. That way plugins can use a channel's parameter string to store arbitrary data (see vdr.5). + The new class cSourceParam can be used by plugins to define new sources, and to implement OSD items that will be used in the channel editor for editing the source specific parameters of a channel (see dvbdevice.c for an example of how this is done for the default DVB devices). + Purely numerical values are no longer accepted in the 'source' parameter of a channel. This obsoletes the PLUGINPARAM patch. - Updated the Lithuanian OSD texts (thanks to Valdemaras Pipiras). - cSafeFile::Close() now flushes the file (suggested by Stephan Austermu"hle). - The option "Setup/DVB/Use Dolby Digital" now only controls whether Dolby Digital tracks appear in the "Audio" menu. Dolby Digital is always recorded. This obsoletes the DOLBYINREC patch. Have fun! Klaus [View Less]

Xineliboutput Git mirror update
by Tobi 06 Mar '10

06 Mar '10

Hi! Because `git cvsimport` didn't do a very good job, I switched to cvs2git. cvs2git seems to work fine and even takes care about the merges. Unfortunately this required to change the whole history. The new Git mirror is available by the same URL's: git://projects.vdr-developer.org/xineliboutput.git http://projects.vdr-developer.org/git/?p=xineliboutput.git;a=summary If you rely on the old history, you must change your remotes to: git://projects.vdr-developer.org/… [View More]
