Convert recording
by Marx 09 May '12

09 May '12

Hello It's probably common use but I didn't find good info how to do that: I record movie. It needs to be cutted (advertisment etc) and than compressed from mpeg2 to divx (because this format is smaller and playable on almost everything). Then movie is moved to library which scans IMDB or similair services to download meta information. The goal is how to do that as most automatically as possible. For now it's rather long way: I convert .ts stream into mpeg2 (I forgot the name but it's software which allows cut file altogether, hovewer it's not user friendly becauses of small preview window), then convert it with some software (VirtualDub, Handbrake or ffmpeg), then rename and load into XBMC library. I know it's rather lously connected with VDR, hovewer I have idea of using VDR as main tool in this toolchain. First it knows from EPG metadata the name of movie, so it can find it in IMDB (in fact both web interfaces can do that now). Next it allows to cut recordings (hovewer I prefer doing it with keyboard) and sometimes automate ads removing. The last piece is converting which also is available via some external scripts. The problem is I would prefer doing it via web interface, because keyboard & mouse is more productive than remote. I hoverwer didn't find possibility to start converting via web interface. What do you think about it? Marx

[PATCH] vdr-plugin-ttxtsubs - Sync subtitles using PTS
by Matti Horila 08 May '12

08 May '12

Hi! After i upgraded my vdr to 1.7.27 and fetched latest sources for plugins, i got serious subtitle timing issues. When viewing live tv the delay needed was about 2500ms and with recordings delay was almost 9000ms. I have no idea what causes that difference. Previously subtitles have been pretty well synced in both live and recordings. Attached patch removes PES and TS delay settings and uses PTS to sync subtitles. It works pretty well with my system using xinelibouput + vdpau. Patch has two side effects: 1. when replay of recording is started it sometimes takes 5 to 10 seconds until first subtitles appear. This is caused by wrong (live) PTS values got from xineliboutput since actual replaying hasn't started yet when first subtitles are parsed from stream. 2. when stopping replaying vdr is sometimes unresponsive for a few seconds if the needed delays are large like in my system. I think the delay sleep in cTtxtSubsDisplay::TtxtData() needs some tweaking to get rid of this side effect. Regards, Matti

probs with new ZDF HDchannels
by Harald Milz 06 May '12

06 May '12

Hi guys, I just added the new ZDF HD channels (ZDF, KIKA, ZDF neo, kultur and info) and I get strange effects like the ones described in http://www.heise.de/newsticker/meldung/Neue-HDTV-Sender-Ruckler-auf-bestimm…. It looks as if the color pallette switched every 0.7 s. This didn't happen with the old ZDF HD channel. My setup is unchanged. Other HD channels are not affected. Did anyone else observe this, and what can we do to fix this? -- Sitzt einer in der Wüste und läßt Sand durch die Finger gleiten, dabei sagt er immer: "Boooaaar". Kommt ein Kameltreiber daher und fragt: "Warum sitzt du denn im Sand und sagst immer 'Boooaaar'?" "Ja, Mensch, Boooaaar, kama hier viel Sand klauen!"

POLL: epg behavior when guide data is missing
by VDR User 02 May '12

02 May '12

Hi ML. I had noticed that several of my channels were missing from the epg list. It turns out this is because VDR will exclude any channels from epg list that don't have epg data. It made more sense to me that rather than excluding those channels, they be listed with "No data available" so the channels are at least still accessible from the epg list. Otherwise the user has to exit the epg, navigate to the channels list and find them there. Since it's probably safe to assume most users spend most of their time in the epg list when in the osd, doesn't it also make sense that the full channel list should be available there as a matter of convenience? Klaus recommended I pose this to the ML and if see if others agreed. If so, he'll adopt the idea. So in consideration of the above, do you think the epg list should display _all_ channels, including those without any guide data, giving those channels "No data available". Or, do you think the epg list should exclude channels without guide data and leave those channels only accessible elsewhere? Thanks for your input

dtt.me.uk
by Dominic Evans 02 May '12

Somebody used to run a site back in 2009 at http://dtt.me.uk/ that generated a very handy table showing resolution and average bitrate information for all the DVB-T channels in the UK. It is still available, just frozen in time. Anyone any idea who it was and/or how one might go about generating a similar table?

vdr-1.7.x + TT S2-6400 + mkv
by Karim Afifi 01 May '12

01 May '12

Hi, I dug up this old post ... I am still looking for a solution to view mkv files from vdr-1.7.x and Technotrend S2-6400. AFAIK, there is no evolution for mplayer at this time, and no vdr-plugin either :-( (I suppose that most of people are using Xineliboutpout and its own player). Do you know about a solution for Technotrend S2-6400 ? Dis I missed something ? Thanks.

(MPlayer doesn't work here). Any hint please would be greatly > appreciated ! As already mentioned. Such a thing does not exist. Your best bet would be to translate the mkv to ts and convert it to a recording. Then it MIGHT be possible to watch. But there is no media player which can output to your device. _______________________________________________ vdr mailing list vdr(a)linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
