hello, sorry for just jumpin in. haven't read the whole thread, and i don't know all details, i just want to say: my current (ya)vdr: - asus at3iont-t (deluxe, for extern 19V) attached to my flat, sound over hdmi - it has serial port, and one pci-e. - mc-1200 case (but built-in remote not really working yet) the only noise is now coming from my harddrives, as this machine currently is more than a video player. so an ssd would make this machine completly silent. sometimes the cpu heat is nearly 60C°, but as i said, i do more than just watching tv and hd movies. in this case, the machine gets instable. xbmc can play 1080p, but more details i can't say, for i have not that knowledge... -- Brain fried - core dumped.

Collecting patches for vdr-xine-0.9.4
by Reinhard Nissl 17 Jan '11

17 Jan '11

Hi, it looks like I can find more time this week to work on vdr-xine. I've seen some patches for vdr-xine-0.9.3 (and xine-lib) in the mailing list which address so far unsupported audio formats if I recall correctly, as vdr-xine still uses PES and my c*Repackers. I'd like to invite you to send them again to me (privately). A sample recording would be appreciated too. Bye. -- Dipl.-Inform. (FH) Reinhard Nissl mailto:rnissl@gmx.de

new OSD system
by Gero 16 Jan '11

16 Jan '11

Hello, I read about the ongoing work at the OSD system. I have to confess, that I don't really miss a truecolor OSD, but what I miss is the possibility to configure the OSD for each output-device separately. Currently I use a "backend"-vdr with budget-cards and an old fashioned FF. My TV is plugged to the old FF and I watch HD through a frontend-client with xineliboutput. That's not bad at all, but one shortcoming I noticed is, that configuration works for all output-devices. I tried the cool anthra-skin for HD - but then I don't get any OSD on FF. Same happens with keyboard. Currently its easy to distinguish the keys, as they are created from different systems and for so have different keycodes. But when I update my TV to a HD system and use xineliboutput on the backend as well as the frontend, than there's no way to have separate keyboard configurations. Why I want different setups? At the vdr I use a standard keyboard and the frontend is my desktop, where I use a Natural keyboard from M$ - which has a completely different layout of function-keys and additional keys. So it would be nice, to have sections in remote.conf that could be separated by output-device. Really great would be, if that sections could be created based on the IP of the client :) kind regards Gero

epgload for Digital+ (spain)
by Josu Lazkano 14 Jan '11

14 Jan '11

Hello list! This is my first post on this list. I want to get my satellite provider (Digital+ spain) EPG data. With tv_grab_dvb I just get the current and next program. Is possible to get more days data? I read that that there is "epgload" software to do that. But I don't know where to download and how to install/config. Can someone help with this? Thanks and best regards. -- Josu Lazkano

Developer versions
by Tony Houghton 14 Jan '11

14 Jan '11

I don't find VDR 1.6.0 very reliable and I'm wondering whether 1.7 is mature enough now to be worth setting up. At the moment I use Debian packages and although I have to recompile it to add the Freesat patch it's still a lot easier than gathering the bits and pieces and getting it to live nicely on my system. Any chance of a 1.8 release soon? I'd also be interested in the developer version of xine with VDPAU support. The trouble is there's a bewildering set of mercurial branches. There are some libxine2 packages in Debian experimental, but there don't seem to be any packages for "version 2" players, nor libxine2-dev packages (not to mention vdpau support) so I don't see what use they are.

Since my upgrade from VDR 1.6.0 to 1.7.16 I can't view my local ITV1 region (ITV1 Mer South) on Freesat. The EPG appears normal, but there's no picture or sound. ITV1 is OK on Freeview, as is the London version on Freesat. The log says: Jan 11 18:07:57 htpc vdr: [10023] switching to channel 103 Jan 11 18:07:57 htpc vdr: [10023] setstatus 0 Jan 11 18:08:06 htpc vdr: [10027] frontend 0/0 timed out while tuning to channel+ 103, tp 110891 The channels.conf entry (which I've checked is up-to-date) is: ITV1 Mer South;BSkyB:10891:hC56:S28.2E:22000:3336=2:3337=eng@4:2344:0:10140:2:20+53:0 I've written my scan script to substitute BSkyB as the provider instead of Freesat because VDR was picking up the BSkyB SDT instead of Freesat's when I was using the Freesat patch, but I'm not sure whether that's the case with the EEPG plugin. My VDR versions are now: * vdr 1.7.16-1devel2 from Tobias Grimm's Debian sid repository. * vdr-plugin-eepg 0.0.3-28yavdr1 built from yavdr's vdr-unstable deb source -- TH * http://www.realh.co.uk

For example the composite HUD OSD is drawn directly onto transparent window located exactly over the (xine-lib powered) video window and therefore is completely independent from the actual video decoding library.

vdradmin recording description
by Tony Houghton 12 Jan '11

12 Jan '11

When setting a timer with vdradmin the popup includes a box which is supposed to contain the programme description. This used to work, but hasn't worked for me, literally for years. I've just ignored it until now, but it would be something nice to have back now I can be bothered to mention it. Any ideas? -- TH * http://www.realh.co.uk

Is there a VDR plugin to collect transponder data?
by jori.hamalainen＠teliasonera.com 11 Jan '11

Sort like a "femon for transponder", so plugin would collect actual bitrates of all channels of that transponder? - Jori

EPG corruption
by Tony Houghton 11 Jan '11

11 Jan '11

I noticed a problem in VDR's EPG today, using vdradmin. The problem programme is "Malcolm in the Middle" at 18:00-18:25 on Friday 14/01/11 on UK DVB-T ("Freeview") channel Fiver. When I click on the link for the programme description I get the details for the following programme, "Zoo Days", instead of Malcolm. I've tried deleting epg.data and restarting, but the same thing happened. But when I ran boxstard, which has EIT harvesting, that showed the correct details. Can any other UK VDR users confirm or deny this? I'm using 1.6.0-19.2 from Debian unstable amd64, which is the stock source package of 1.6.0-19.1 to which I've added the Freesat patch.
