VDR & Multiple frontends
by Eddi 25 Jul '15

25 Jul '15

Hi, I wrote a patch to Steve Toth hvr3000 repository, so my FlyDVB Trio can use multiple frontend. So I get: /dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0 /dev/dvb/adapter0/demux1 /dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr0 /dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr1 /dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0 /dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend1 /dev/dvb/adapter0/net0 /dev/dvb/adapter0/net1 The bus of the two frontend is shared, isn't possible to get access to both frontend simultaneously, so I get an -EBUSY error by trying accessing frontend1 if frontend0 is in use. VDR doesn't support yet the second frontend, and it try to get exclusive access on both frontend on start, so the second frontend is inusabile. Vdr should probe for multiple frontend at start, and access frontend only on channel change. Please can someone give me an help to wrote a patch for this issue? Best Regards, Eddi

[ANNOUNCE] vdr-pvrinput
by L. Hanisch 17 Sep '11

17 Sep '11

Hi all, The plugin for integrating analog MPEG2 cards by Hauppauge (et al.) into the vdr has a new home. http://projects.vdr-developer.org/projects/show/plg-pvrinput It's adapted to the latest changes of vdr (>= 1.7.13). For older versions the plugin-param-patch is still needed. Take a look at the README to adjust your channels.conf to the matching syntax of your vdr. http://projects.vdr-developer.org/repositories/entry/plg-pvrinput/README http://projects.vdr-developer.org/repositories/entry/plg-pvrinput/HISTORY I think, it's stable enough to be tested by you. :-) Use the new home page for documenting bugs you encounter. A short changelog: - the generated TS now contains valid PAT, PMT and PCR packets so streaming with streamdev-server now works in TS mode. The used PIDs are the same as in the TS of cx18 cards, so the vdr will not alter them in mixed environments. vpid: 301+101=2 ; apid: 300 ; tpid: 305 - the Hauppauge HD PVR is now supported but uses different PIDs as the cx18/ivtv cards. vpid: 4113+4097=27 ; apid: 0;4352 - for radio channels no more video packets are sent. If you use a PVR350 as output device make sure you have a recent version of the pvr350-plugin which generates black video on its own. - if you use a PVRUSB2 make sure you have the latest driver otherwise you can see occasionally no picture after a channel switch. The corresponding patch of pvrusb2 will be integrated in kernel 2.6.34. - if you experience stuttering video on switching channels you can tweak some buffers with some parameters in the setup.conf (stop your vdr before editing, of course) pvrinput.ReadBufferSizeKB = 64 // size of buffer for reader in KB (default: 64 KB) pvrinput.TsBufferSizeMB = 3 // ring buffer size in MB (default: 3 MB) pvrinput.TsBufferPrefillRatio = 0 // wait with delivering packets to vdr till buffer is filled up to x% If the default values don't make you happy, please report working values for your setup. Please report also your used input and output devices. The latest versions of w_pvrscan and wirbelscan supports the new vdr 1.7.13 syntax if you don't want to change your channels.conf by hand. http://wirbel.htpc-forum.de/w_pvrscan/index2.html http://wirbel.htpc-forum.de/wirbelscan/index2.html Here's the announcement in the vdr-portal: http://www.vdr-portal.de/board/thread.php?threadid=95389 Have fun! Lars.

ATSC Channel frequency crashing VDR
by Rob Davis 24 Jun '11

24 Jun '11

Hi Guys, I have two ATSC adapter. On one I scan my channels, create my channels.conf file (via a convoluted script), the channels work on that laptop using 1.6. I make a couple of edits to allow it to work on 1.7.12, but a particular frequency causes VDR to crash and get restarted by the watchdog.. The offending frequency is 567000, It's a Qam256 ATSC Cable frequency. I have an HVR1850 PCI-E adapter. Unfortunetly, it's the mux with all my local SD channels, although I can watch the HD ones, two channels don't have HD versions.. I can't see anything in dmesg or the vdr log which causes a problem. As an aside, a scan using w_scan to create a kaffeine channels.conf file on that adapter, doesn't find anything on that frequency. Am I getting interference from something? Any ideas?

CAM auto resetting - feature request??
by Simon Baxter 27 Dec '10

27 Dec '10

Hello My v 1.6.0 system has 2x Alphacrypt multi-CAMs. Occasionally one of the CAMs seems to "crash" and if I go into Setup > CAM one of the CAMs changes from "Alphacrypt" to "CAM Ready" - and will no longer decrypt channels. I then correspondingly get a bunch of timer conflicts, as 1/2 my CAM resources have vanished. Only ever one CAM fails, never both. I rectify this by selecting the CAM, and then hitting "reset" (sometimes a couple of times) - and it comes back. Unless I go into the Setup > CAM menu, I'm unaware that the CAM has "crashed". My request is...... Is there a way I can either 1)Automatically reset a CAM if it falls into this state or 2)Be notified, by generating a console/kernel message, so I can know to come in and fix this. Any ideas?

by Harald Overas 10 Aug '10

I have have witness the same behavior with screen blinking with xineliboutput (vdr-sxfe as remote client while connecting with TCP transport to the vdr-server) when changing the channels. I often get screen blinking when I change the channels to fast with my MCE remote (using the MCE remote arrows up and down for browsing through the channels). Using xine-lib-vdpau-1.2 (latest) and xineliboutput (latest) (vdr-sxfe 1.0.90-cvs (build with xine-lib 1.1.90, using xine-lib 1.1.90) Using this command string to connect: vdr-sxfe -fullscreen --width=1920 --height=1080 --tcp --audio=alsa --aspect=16:9 --lirc --video=vdpau --post tvtime:method=use_vo_driver --reconnect xvdr://${HOST}:${PORT} Thanks in advance, Harald

USB IR Receiver not loaded when vdr starts on boot
by Peter Odéus 06 Aug '10

06 Aug '10

Hi, The script 'runvdr' sets the following access permissions: chmod o+r /dev/input/event* But since the IR receiver on my USB NOVA-T Stick has not loaded to /dev/input/event5 when runvdr sets the permissions, vdr refuses to start properly when booting the machine. The error is stated as a "Permission denied" on the remote device By doing mv /etc/rc2.d/S20vdr /etc/rc2.d/S30vdr the problem goes away. I'm on Ubuntu Lucid btw. :D /Peter Odéus
