Re: [vdr] Weird recording problem

Hi, It's the same problem I had in France with the channel TNT "France 4". I proposed this dirty patch in May 2010, without understanding why : --- remux.c 2010-05-04 14:55:50.000000000 +0200 +++ remux.c.orig 2010-05-04 21:57:38.000000000 +0200 @@ -960,6 +960,7 @@ return Processed; // flush everything before this new frame newFrame = true; independentFrame = ((Data[i + 2] >> 3) & 0x07) == 1; // I-Frame + if (((Data[i + 2] >> 3) & 0x07) == 0) { independentFrame = 1;} if (synced) { if (framesPerPayloadUnit <= 1) scanning = false; I use it since without problem.

vdr bug with InitialChannel?
by Lars Bläser 06 Jun '11

06 Jun '11

hi, may be a feature but from usability point its a bug if you choose to have a special starting channel and insert or delete a channel before that channel its not the right channel anymore when starting vdr the next time reason is that only the number of the channel in the channels.conf is saved to setup.conf (InitialChannel =) it should be the method as it is used in timers.conf, that way it should always start with the channel originally selected in setup as start channel PS: with vdr 1.7.18

TT Premium S2-6400
by Richard Scobie 05 Jun '11

Looking at the data sheet for the new TT Premium S2-6400 hardware decoder card, it mentions a "Video Breakout Cable for analog audio/video". Can anyone tell me if this includes YUV/RGB out, or just composite? Thanks, Richard

adding an analog source to a working vdr installation
by Arturo Martinez 03 Jun '11

Hi, I have a working vdr 1.7.16 installation with a satellite dvb-s2 card working fine. Now I have a separate receiver which I would like to integrate with vdr I have a supported bt878 card (item number 23 in the list) http://linuxtv.org/hg/v4l-dvb/file/tip/linux/Documentation/video4linux/CARD… Besides a scart to rca cable to connect the receiver to the bt878 card what else will I need to do so vdr works with it? The sky plugin? (I am not interested in Sky, just want to have analog video input from my third party receiver into my vdr box) or some other analog tv plugin?
