howto ignore lines in channels.conf
by cedric.dewijs＠telfort.nl 16 Jan '12

16 Jan '12

Hi All, I would like to add some comments to channels.conf, and remove some channels I never watch. I have tried adding lines beginning with #, but this does not work, I still see those channels when I choose "channels" in VDR. What charakter can i add in front of a line to let the line be ignored? Best regards, Cedric

digitenne, howto watch pin-protected channels?
by cedric.dewijs＠telfort.nl 15 Jan '12

15 Jan '12

Hi all, I use vdr, oscam and sc to watch digitenne. I can see all the free to air, and scrambled channels without any problems. The only channel I can't watch is an adult channel. This channel is protected by a PIN code. When I use the origional digitenne receiver from the KPN, I can enter the pin code, and watch the channel. Could you please tell me where I can enter this pin code in VDR / oscam or the sc plugin? Best regards, Cedric

diseqc.con question
by Arturo Martinez 14 Jan '12

14 Jan '12

Hello, I have added a second dvb-s2 card to my vdr 1.7.21 box (for a total of 2 dvb-s2 cards, and nothing else) The first card (adapter0) is connected to a motor and diseqc.conf reflects this: 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 S5.0E 11700 V 9750 t v W15 [E0 31 6B 05] W25 [E0 31 6B 05] W15 t S5.0E 99999 V 10600 t v W15 [E0 31 6B 05] W25 [E0 31 6B 05] W15 T S5.0E 11700 H 9750 t V W15 [E0 31 6B 05] W25 [E0 31 6B 05] W15 t S5.0E 99999 H 10600 t V W15 [E0 31 6B 05] W25 [E0 31 6B 05] W15 T Now the second card is connected to a diseqc 1.0 switch with 2 feeds (S5.0E and S0.8W) How can I modify diseqc.cond so that vdr is aware that only the second card can get 0.8W and S5.0E can be accessed by both cards?

Re: [vdr] shouldn't a vdr recording pause during status 3 flag?
by Lou 14 Jan '12

14 Jan '12

Turns out ZDF releases new event ids for each event instead of status 3 flagging, but they are all using the same pdc time (09:55). @Klaus: Are you aware, that recording only the 2nd event (12:05-03:55) is impossible in this case? vdr will automatically remove timers with the same pdc time, only one timer is kept, and vdr will start recording immediately, if you're already in the first event's timeframe (09:55-12:00). Shouldn't different event id make sure this doesn't happen?

shouldn't a vdr recording pause during status 3 flag?
by Lou 14 Jan '12

14 Jan '12

I noticed one of my local broadcasters does actually flag a commercial break's starts and endings: Nov 3 16:48:37 channel 17 (TSR1) event Thu 03.11.2011 16:45-17:26 (VPS: 03.11 16:45) 'Hawaii Five-0' status 4 Nov 3 17:13:38 channel 17 (TSR1) event Thu 03.11.2011 16:45-17:26 (VPS: 03.11 16:45) 'Hawaii Five-0' status 3 Nov 3 17:16:08 channel 17 (TSR1) event Thu 03.11.2011 16:45-17:26 (VPS: 03.11 16:45) 'Hawaii Five-0' status 4 Nov 3 17:32:20 channel 17 (TSR1) event Thu 03.11.2011 17:26-17:35 '(null)' status 4 Nov 3 17:32:20 timer 8 (17 1645-1726 VPS 'Hawaii Five-0~Po'ipu') stop This looks legit to me, start and endings are always trimmed fine - so the question remains, why the recording does not pause during the commercial break? I'd love to avoid manual editing if possible.

Patch: Eliminate duplicate events when using xmltv2vdr
by Timo Eskola 12 Jan '12

12 Jan '12

Hi, I started to use xmltv2vdr for some channels with poor EPG data. I do not want to use xmltv2vdr for all channels so I modified xmltv2vdr.pl script to clear only the channels which will be grabbed with xmltv. The result was multiple EPG events for some programs. I found 2 issues in VDR code that caused this. 1. CLRE for a channel does not always clear all events. I compared CLRE for clearing all channels and noticed that it also clears events in timers. The patch will add this to CLRE for a channel. 2. Second problem was that for some reason there are small differences in events times in EPG and xmltv. The patch find events close to the current event during EPG scan. Now I have proper program data from EPG and xmltv. http://www.tolleri.net/vdr/vdr/vdr-1.7.21-clre-epgscan.patch Maybe Klaus can have a look if the changes can be implemented in VDR. Regards, Timo

digitenne disturbance, poor reception or mistake in descrambling?
by cedric.dewijs＠telfort.nl 12 Jan '12

12 Jan '12

Hi All, I have setup vdr to receive and decode digitenne. I have used the following manuals: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/VDR https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Digitenne Sometimes i see some disturbance in the received image. I wonder if this is due to poor reception, or by a problem of the decoding of the scrambled channels. Does vdr keep statistics of the reception quality? Is there any way I can get diagnostics of the sc plugin? Best regards, Cedric

vdr-sxfe: no reaction to enter key, external keyboard works fine
by cedric.dewijs＠telfort.nl 12 Jan '12

12 Jan '12

Hi All, I have installed vdr on 2 laptops and a desktop. On my laptop and the desktop it works OK, but on the laptop of my girlfriend vdr-sxfe does not respond to the enter key. When we connect an external keyboard to the laptop, the enter key works as expected. What can I do to investigate this? Best regards, Cedric

vdr-sxfe only starts every other time
by cedric.dewijs＠telfort.nl 12 Jan '12

Hi All, I have just finished installing my new vdr server. I have followed the following instructions: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/VDR https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Digitenne When I start vdr-sxfe the first time, it hangs. When I then kill it, and then restart it, it works fine. When I then exit it, and start it again, it hangs. then I kill it again, and start it again. Then it works fine again. In short, only attemps 2,4,6 and so on are successfull, 1,3,5,7 hangs On a failed run I see this in the console: [cedric@myhost ~]$ vdr-sxfe 127.0.0.1 vdr-sxfe 1.0.90-cvs (build with xine-lib 1.2.0, using xine-lib 1.2.0) VDR Server: 127.0.0.1 WARNING: MRL does not start with 'xvdr:' (127.0.0.1) vo_vdpau: Can't create vdp device : No vdpau implementation. libva: VA-API version 0.32.0 Xlib: extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":0". libva: va_getDriverName() returns 0 libva: Trying to open /usr/lib/dri/nvidia_drv_video.so libva: va_openDriver() returns -1 ^C On a successfull run I see this: [cedric@myhost ~]$ vdr-sxfe 127.0.0.1 vdr-sxfe 1.0.90-cvs (build with xine-lib 1.2.0, using xine-lib 1.2.0) VDR Server: 127.0.0.1 WARNING: MRL does not start with 'xvdr:' (127.0.0.1) vo_vdpau: Can't create vdp device : No vdpau implementation. libva: VA-API version 0.32.0 Xlib: extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":0". libva: va_getDriverName() returns 0 libva: Trying to open /usr/lib/dri/nvidia_drv_video.so libva: va_openDriver() returns -1 ^C [cedric@myhost ~]$ vdr-sxfe 127.0.0.1 vdr-sxfe 1.0.90-cvs (build with xine-lib 1.2.0, using xine-lib 1.2.0) VDR Server: 127.0.0.1 WARNING: MRL does not start with 'xvdr:' (127.0.0.1) vo_vdpau: Can't create vdp device : No vdpau implementation.
