Small fix for GCC 4.6 issue
by Tobi 15 May '11

15 May '11

gcc once again became a little bit more strict about the C++ standard, so the skincurses plugin will not compile anymore. 8.5/9 of the C++ standard says "If no initializer is specified for an object, and the object is of (possibly cv-qualified) nonPOD class type (or array thereof), the object shall be default-initialized; if the object is of const-qualified type, the underlying class type shall have a user-declared default constructor. Otherwise, if no initializer is specified for an object, the object and its sub-objects, if any, have an indeterminate initial value; if the object or any of its sub-objects are of const-qualified type, the program is ill-formed." Adding an initializer solves this issue. Please see the attached patch. Thx, Tobias

VDR on mipsel STB VU+ Duo
by alez 10 May '11

10 May '11

I have compiled VDR for mipsel CPU, i want run it on my Vu+ Duo STB instead of "original" Enigma2. It seems to work, i have tryed to stream using the plugin vdr-streamdev-server to mplayer with success: vdr use the tuner of VU+ Duo and stream an FTA channel over the LAN: Browser that open IP of Vu+ Duo on port 3000: http://img691.imageshack.us/img691/8023/vdrstreamdevservervuplu.png this is mplayer http://ip_of_vuplus_duo:3000/PES/S13.0E-318-12400-8516.vdr : (FTA italian channel) http://img803.imageshack.us/img803/5571/streamrainewsvuplusduo.png Now, my question: it's possible to use some plugin (i.e. dvbhddevice) to display the video output and the OSD output via HDMI on STB? -- alez

How about a small UK/Ireland S28.2E VDR community forum?
by Henning Pingel 08 May '11

08 May '11

Hello, [This email has been sitting in my drafts folder for a few weeks. Today I had the courage to send it.] I was wondering if it would make sense to offer a place for VDR users using the sky_uk/freesat/S28.2E/freeview platforms to communicate with each other. The intention is that people can discuss their special needs like freesat EPG, red button stuff, channel lists, channel logos and all other things and test new inventions (like the red button extension) together. Being a frequent user of freesat channels myself and being a member of the developers behind the yaVDR distribution (www.yavdr.org), I would like to offer to you to open up an English language community forum on our yaVDR board located at forum.yavdr.com [1]. This board is currently mostly used by our development team for internal discussions, so there is not much to see there for external visitors yet. Please don't get me wrong: I don't want to drag away developer discussions from this mailing list, it's more a forum where developers and users who share the same topics (freesat/freeview/SKY_UK) can communicate and solve problems related to VDR together. And knowledge could be made more accessible for new VDR users. Maybe this could also be a good starting point for building up an English language VDR user community forum - starting off with UK/Ireland users. I always thought an English language community was missing next to the German language VDR portal (www.vdr-portal.de [2]). If some of you guys here are interested in such a place, please give me a short reply. It only takes me a couple of minutes to set up a new area on the forum. Or is there already a forum in place? Regards, Henning Links: ------ [1] http://forum.yavdr.com [2] http://www.vdr-portal.de

xineliboutput: no sound with radio plugin (concerning StillPicture function)
by Newsy Paper 06 May '11

06 May '11

Hi! I want to mention a bug in xineliboutput plugin concerning the StillPicture function used by the radio and music plugin. If radio plugin calls these function StillPicture will be shown but sound goes away immediately. With xine-plugin there's no such problem, it is a bug of xineliboutput. Unfortunately I wasn't able to find where in the StillPicture function and its called subfunctions like Play_MPEG2_ES the bug is. What I found out: By disabling those Play_MPEG2_ES calls the sound still disappears unless you comment out the ForEach(m_clients, &cXinelibThread::Clear); kind regards Newsy

UK Channel Logos
by Dominic Evans 05 May '11

05 May '11

I spent some time earlier in Illustrator, sourcing vector images of various UK channel logos from promotional PDFs issued by Freeview, Freesat and Sky and dumped them into individual SVG files for each channel. I've placed them here for now: https://github.com/oldmanuk/uk-channel-logos Ideally these could be used to build a decent set of images for use with VDR (e.g., PearlHD skin), EPG (yaepghd?) and web interface (live). If anyone has any missing channel logos in vector form that they'd like to contribute, feel free. Cheers, Dom

Sky UK Channels.conf - Channel Numbering & Categories
by Dominic Evans 05 May '11

05 May '11

Hi, I had been interested in generating a channels.conf that contained the channels grouped by the Sky UK genre categories, whilst also using the same channel numbering. I found a script on yavdr forums that did something similar, and I modified it to do what I wanted and include the numbering. However, I'm guessing that the attached channels.conf won't actually do what I want.... I haven't tried it out on my system yet, but vdr's manpages state that "The given number must be larger than the number of any previous channel (otherwise it is silently ignored)." so I assume the channels number 971+ in the first 'Entertainment' category are probably going cause all the following lower numbers in the next categories to be ignored? Any possible workaround? Is this a feature request? Cheers, Dom

Hi, The reason might be that the SVDR port is wrong in the EPGsearch's configuration (the timers are created with SVDR, so if the port is wrong, nothing gets done). The port was changed some time ago, and I've run into this problem a couple of times. You can change it from the plugin's setup menu. For me, the reason for the problem was that I set the vdr port manually to the earlier one for various reasons, so it might be that this won't solve your problem... Cheers, Timo

vdr + epgsearch = no timers
by VDR 03 May '11

03 May '11

Hi! I have strange problem. After installing (again) whole vdr system from scratch, epgsearch plugin don't add any timers anymore. At vdradmin-am I can see all those "EPG Search"'s and if I execute one of those, it' find what it should find. But even I click "Force Update" nothing comes to Timers. Yes, I have set at settings "Re-create timers after delete" and I have done reinstallation with "apt-get purge vdr-plugin-epgsearch" (that removes all config files). -- JJussi
