[PATCH] add dummy osd to vdr plugin dummydevice
by L. Hanisch 16 Oct '11

16 Oct '11

Hi Petri, hello list, https://github.com/flensrocker/vdr-plugin-dummydevice/tarball/v-osd0 I added a dummy osd to the dummydevice to avoid messages from vdr like "ERROR: no OSD provider available - using dummy OSD!" It's useful for headless server mode without any other OSD provider. Thanks for yor plugin! Regards, Lars.

Pausing live video with xineliboutput
by Scott Waye 16 Oct '11

16 Oct '11

Hi, Most of my vdr/xineliboutput/vdr-sxfe setup works well, except for pausing live tv. When the pause button is pressed there is quite a long pause before the video and audio are stopped - 5 seconds is typical. Once paused, pressing Play does nothing, and eventually it looks like vdr-sxfe restarts itself and writes messages like this: Connection to server lost. Reconnecting after two seconds... Reconnecting... xine: found input plugin : VDR (Video Disk Recorder) input plugin xine: input plugin cannot open MRL [xvdr://192.168.2.33#nocache] xine: cannot find input plugin for MRL [xvdr://192.168.2.33#nocache] Error opening xvdr://192.168.2.33 Connection to server lost. Reconnecting after two seconds... Reconnecting... xine: found input plugin : VDR (Video Disk Recorder) input plugin xine: input plugin cannot open MRL [xvdr://192.168.2.33#nocache] xine: cannot find input plugin for MRL [xvdr://192.168.2.33#nocache] Error opening xvdr://192.168.2.33 Connection to server lost. Reconnecting after two seconds... and eventually goes back to showing the current live broadcast, not resuming from where it was paused, or it will crash writing this: xv_set_property: property=0, value=0 input cache plugin disabled xine: found demuxer plugin: XVDR demux plugin abort: audio_alsa_out.c:852: ao_alsa_write: Aborting. vdr itself seems to be running fine - the live recording is started and continues to record regardless of the vdr-sxfe client. Is anyone using vdr-sxfe with alsa and has pausing live tv working? vdr version 1.7.18, vdr-sxfe command line: /usr/bin/vdr-sxfe 192.168.2.33 --video=xv --post=tvtime:method=Greedy2Frame,enabled=1 --fullscreen --syslog --verbose --reconnect >>/tmp/xinelib_log 2>&1 Thanks, -- Scott

What are recommended versions for a dxr3 setup ?
by Mikko Tuumanen 15 Oct '11

15 Oct '11

I got a dvb card, installed it in my vdr box and it didn't work. So I decided to compile the driver, but alas, I had accidentially deleted the kernel compile tree. So it seems it's time to upgrade everyting: kernel, vdr, dxr3 driver and dxr3plugin. But what are the recommended versions at the moment? What is the latest kernel that dxr3 driver works on? And where should get the dxr3 driver from? Is the vdr-dxr3-0.2.12 in vdr-developer.org the latest and greatest version of the plugin or should I pull from git or hg somewhere?

timerconflict handling between VPS events
by Tuxoholic 15 Oct '11

15 Oct '11

hi list I noticed vdr 1.7.16 does handle timer conflicts differently if one of two conflicting timers is a VPS event. Take for example two timers: timer #1 1623-1707 with timer priority 48 timer #2 1655-1736 with timer priority 52 If both timers are *NOT* VPS events vdr does follow the timer priority, thus the change from timer #1 to timer #2 will happen @16:55 precisely. Now try the same with timer #2 set up as a VPS event (VPS margin two minutes, VPS time is correct) As expected I do have the following line in syslog @16:53: timer 2 (1655-1736 VPS) entered VPS margin ... but the change does not happen before 17:07 - can somebody explain to me why? I expected a VPS timer with higher priority would change channel @VPS margin and wait for the event to happen. Can this be implemented, or are there concerns about this sort of timer handling? Regards, Lou

Abandoned project: Streamdev widget for Samsung TV
by Frank Schmirler 14 Oct '11

14 Oct '11

Hi, a while ago some guy started to implement a widget for Samsung TVs to access streamdev via HTTP (http://projects.vdr-developer.org/issues/545). Unfortunately there hasn't been any progress recently and he doesn't reply to mails either. Maybe someone with a Samsung TV is willing to take over? I take the streamdev part, so all it takes is some basic JavaScript knowledge, the SDK from http://www.samsungdforum.com/ and of course a capable Samsung TV ;) Regards, Frank

Can VDR Live name recordings according to title?
by John Klimek 11 Oct '11

11 Oct '11

Is it possible to have VDR Live name it's recordings according to the title of the show? For example, I'd love to see recordings named like this: <Show Name> - <Episode Name>.ts (ie. "The King of Queens - Name of Episode.ts")

DVB-T2 tuning
by Chris Rankin 11 Oct '11

11 Oct '11

Hi, I'm assuming that VDR-1.7.x can tune into DVB-T2 channels, but it seems that Fedora 16 will still be using VDR-1.6.x. This is probably because VDR-1.7 is a development version, but I'd like to be able to use my PCTV 290e adapter in Fedora. So it looks like the DVB-T2 tuning parameters (QAM_256 support?) are going to need patching from 1.7 into 1.6. Can anyone point out the relevant code, please? I suspect that asking first will be faster... ;-). Thanks, Chris
