A/V out of sync for BSkyB channels Channel4, More4, E4, Film4
by Günter Merz 27 Jul '10

27 Jul '10

Hi, I'm looking for help with my vdr 1.6 system. I think the problem only affects BSkyB channels Channel4, More4, E4 and Film4: those channels a/v are out of sync (sometimes more, sometimes less). Recordings from those channels are also affected. I think that at some point, I didn't have this a/v sync issue, but I could be wrong. My vdr uses vdr-xine with a new xine-lib 1.2 (for vdpau) as output device. Due to the unstable nature of some of the components, I've tried exchanging parts of … [View More]

portability or VDR on FreeBSD
by Joerg Pulz 10 Jul '10

10 Jul '10

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello list. As the subject already says, this is about VDR portability, or how to get VDR up and running on a FreeBSD system. In times where we have such really nice plugins like softdevice and streamdev, we no longer need real MPEG2 or DVB hardware in a VDR system.

Dual DVB-S2 Tuner cards
by Theunis Potgieter 25 Jun '10

25 Jun '10

Hi guys, do any of you have information with regards to Dual DVB-S2 Tuners on a PCI or preferably a PCI-E type card working on vdr? I did have a look on http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/DVB-S2_PCIe_Cards But only mentions 2 and they seem to be a rare find. Well at least where I live. Does anybody else know of working DVB-S2 cards for Linux? I did find plenty of Hybrid/Dual type cards but they seem to be supporting DVB-T + DVB-S/S2 and not even both at the same time :( Any advice would … [View More]

Feature request: program guide scroll
by István Füley 13 Jun '10

13 Jun '10

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 … [View More]
