Re : vdr 1.7.10 no record channel
by Senufo 30 Jun '10

30 Jun '10

Hi, I read the ISO / IEC 13818-2: 1995 for trying to better understand how is the detection of I-frames. In Chapter 6.2 the header image will begin by picture_start_code in remux.c if (scan == 0x00000100) (/ / Picture Start Code If I understand the detection of the i-frame is in the picture_coding_type according to Table 6-12 picture_coding_type / coding method 000 / forbidden 001 / intra-coded (I) 010 / predictive-coded (P) 011 / bidirectionally-predictive-coded (B) 100 / Shall Not Be Used (dc intra-coded (D) in ISO/IEC11172- 2) 101 / reserved 110 / reserved 111 / reserved I do not understand this line of code: independentFrame = ((Data [i +2]>> 3) & 0x07) == 1 / / I-Frame thank you for your answers Regards Senufo On 05/19/10 22:20, Senufo wrote: > Hi, > > Thanks Klaus > Klaus I agree, but the video looks good because I can see this live > stream and when I use the patch records are correct. > I did a test with vdr 1.6.0 with the same channels.conf and there I can > see the live stream and recordings works. > > Why ? I have no idea. Of course, the whole frame detection is different in VDR 1.7. You might want to debug that area to see why it doesn't work any more. Simply changing that bit from '1' to '0' can't be the solution. Klaus > On 05.05.2010 22:11, Senufo wrote: > >> > Hi, >> > > I found the problem.

[Test] Release candidate streamdev-0.5.0-rc1
by Frank Schmirler 28 Jun '10

28 Jun '10

Hi there, I'm about to prepare streamdev releases 0.4.0 (final release for VDR-1.4) and 0.5.0 (for VDR-1.6/1.7). The 0.5.0 release will contain two larger changes which have not been commited to the main CVS branch yet. Maybe some of you want to review and comment on these. Get the tarball at http://streamdev.vdr-developer.org. @all: Please see chapter "Updating" in the README file which is part of the streamdev source distribution. The new version won't run out of the box. You will have to rename the config directory first! Those using externremux.sh will also have to modify their script. @package maintainers: Upon request I split up the language resources for streamdev-client and streamdev-server. Instead of one vdr-streamdev.mo you will now get a vdr-streamdev-server.mo and a vdr-streamdev-client.mo. Consistently the plugin configuration directory changed from streamdev to streamdev-server (there are no configuration files for streamdev-client yet). To build only one plugin, use "make client" or "make server" respectively. @externremux users: The remux script is now responsible for emitting HTTP headers. Make sure you update your script! In turn the script gets a CGI like environment which gives you access to request headers, context information and details on the channel. A new sample externremux.sh is included which makes heavy use of request parameters. To reflect these changes, the HTTP URL path for externremux changed from EXTERN to EXT. Enjoy, Frank

Does vdr buffer TS/PES packets intern

Hi all, I am still working to improve the vdr-plg-dxr3 and I run into an issue. Lets say I watch TV but there is nothing interesting to watch, so I want to playback a recording.

I know that is not directly related to vdr, as my problem should come from the reel src and not vdr. I know there is here a good community of developpers and perhaps someone can look at the src of the hdplayer and see if it could be possible to add the detection of e-ac3 audio format , (and perhaps finding the way to decode it or at least enable the ac3 compatibility?). hdplayer3.tgz: http://depositfiles.com/files/wdprj8brd thx to the developers who will look at the src, for me it's chinese ECLiPSE

[ANNOUNCE] S2API wrapper patch 0.6
by Udo Richter 26 Jun '10

26 Jun '10

... or why two legs are better than one. Hi list. Due to some unexpected S2 capable hardware, there's a new version of my S2API wrapper patch available for download. The new version adds S2API auto-detection at runtime, so that one binary vdr executable can handle old DVB V3 drivers and DVB V5 (S2API) drivers without any changes. As before, the patch compiles fine against the old V3 header files and the new V5 header files, and even if vdr was compiled against V3 headers, the resulting vdr can still tune to S2 channels when using it with V5 capable drivers. As a fallback, the patched vdr understands the command line switches --dvbapi=3 and --dvbapi=5 to manually select the API to use. The patch applies to VDR from 1.7.13 at least up to 1.7.15. If there's any need for VDR versions 1.7.12 and earlier, contact me. Get it at: http://www.udo-richter.de/vdr/patches.en.html#dvb-api-wrapper Cheers, Udo

rotor
by Mike Booth 25 Jun '10

25 Jun '10

the rotor plugin ( or at least version 1.4mh) can control one rotor per card. For c-band you need a vbox to translate the diseqc commands and to provide the 36 volts to drive the actuator. Thats how I do it. costs about $40 (australian). Piece of cake. Or am I missing something? Mike

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 be appreciated. Thanks, Theunis

The plugin has been downgraded. There are people who use a patched and patched 0.1.4 rather than the official 0.1.5 The situation with the rotor plugin is so bad (so much patching needed to get it to work and then I found it makes vdr unstable) I've resorted to having two parallel installations of vdr one I use just for the rotor plugin when I need to use it to align the dish and store the positions. In my 'normal' vdr installation I don't use the rotor plugin but rather diseq commands 'Go to position X' Here is my diseqc.conf if it helps you: S19.2E 11700 V 9750 t v W15 [E0 31 6B 13] W25 [E0 31 6B 13] W15 t S19.2E 99999 V 10600 t v W15 [E0 31 6B 13] W25 [E0 31 6B 13] W15 T S19.2E 11700 H 9750 t V W15 [E0 31 6B 13] W25 [E0 31 6B 13] W15 t S19.2E 99999 H 10600 t V W15 [E0 31 6B 13] W25 [E0 31 6B 13] W15 T S13.0E 11700 V 9750 t v W15 [E0 31 6B 0D] W25 [E0 31 6B 0D] W15 t S13.0E 99999 V 10600 t v W15 [E0 31 6B 0D] W25 [E0 31 6B 0D] W15 T S13.0E 11700 H 9750 t V W15 [E0 31 6B 0D] W25 [E0 31 6B 0D] W15 t S13.0E 99999 H 10600 t V W15 [E0 31 6B 0D] W25 [E0 31 6B 0D] W15 T S28.2E 11700 V 9750 t v W15 [E0 31 6B 1C] W25 [E0 31 6B 1C] W15 t S28.2E 99999 V 10600 t v W15 [E0 31 6B 1C] W25 [E0 31 6B 1C] W15 T S28.2E 11700 H 9750 t V W15 [E0 31 6B 1C] W25 [E0 31 6B 1C] W15 t S28.2E 99999 H 10600 t V W15 [E0 31 6B 1C] W25 [E0 31 6B 1C] W15 T S28.5E 11700 V 9750 t v W15 [E0 31 6B 1D] W25 [E0 31 6B 1D] W15 t S28.5E 99999 V 10600 t v W15 [E0 31 6B 1D] W25 [E0 31 6B 1D] W15 T S28.5E 11700 H 9750 t V W15 [E0 31 6B 1D] W25 [E0 31 6B 1D] W15 t S28.5E 99999 H 10600 t V W15 [E0 31 6B 1D] W25 [E0 31 6B 1D] W15 T I guess it comes down to the hard truth that there is no vdr 1.7.x user with C programming skills using a rotor who needs something more than USALS 1.2 Message: 5 Date: Tue, 22 Jun 2010 19:12:16 -0700 From: "Timothy D. Lenz" <tlenz(a)vorgon.com> Subject: [vdr] rotor screen missing stuff To: vdr(a)linuxtv.org Message-ID: <4C216D80.2090500(a)vorgon.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed I am trying to get my rotor working again. I had been using v0.1.4 with vdr-1.6.0. Now I'm trying to get v.0.1.5 working with vdr-1.7.15. On the rotor page, Postion information no longer shows the sat it matches to, the option to do a scan on the current TP is gone, and the lock and other indicators are gone. Was that all part of the text2skin plugin which I'm not using now? or has the plugin been down graded?
