playing two audio streams at the same time
by Peter Münster 28 Aug '12

28 Aug '12

Hello, Is it possible today with vdr, to send one audio channel to the headphones and the other audio channel to the speakers (or another headphones)? (it wasn't possible about 4 years ago) Example: we watch a film recorded from Arte, and my wife wants to listen to the French, and I want to listen to the German audio channel. If it's possible, what version do I need at least and what must be configured? If not, what would be the effort for a VDR developer to implement such a feature (in hours, $, € or whatever)? Or do you know other free software for watching and recording TV, with such a feature? TIA for any hints! -- Peter

ring buffer overflows
by Marx 28 Aug '12

28 Aug '12

Because of many problems with three different TV cards I had prevoiusly - I bought one which claims full linux support - Qbox II by TBS. After a few hours I have card working, hovewer I have a problem too. When I'm recording it seems ok, but when I'm watching through streamdev + VLC, there are errors about buffer overflow. Often it causes viewing to stop after a minute or so. I suspect there is need to set some larger buffers but I don't know where.

Hello, I recently change vdr-1.7.23 to vdr-1.7.29 Now, dvb subtitle are badly display Jerky, faster speeds, and the display remains on the last sentence until a new dialogue happens. (clearly visible in a scene change) It's available for dvb-t and dvb-s (almost TV5 Monde Europe on astra) It's seem that is "improving handling subtitles of BBC channels" from vdr-1.7.24 that make the bug with the delete of "page->regions.Clear(); in dvbsubtitle.c|| with this patch that work fine again |diff -ur vdr-1.7.29--clean/dvbsubtitle.c vdr-1.7.29/dvbsubtitle.c --- vdr-1.7.29--clean/dvbsubtitle.c 2012-05-08 10:17:17.000000000 +0200 +++ vdr-1.7.29/dvbsubtitle.c 2012-08-10 15:30:55.797708056 +0200 @@ -1043,6 +1043,7 @@ page->SetVersion(pageVersion); page->SetTimeout(pageTimeout); page->SetState(bs.GetBits(2)); + page->regions.Clear(); bs.SkipBits(2); // reserved dbgpages("Update page id %d version %d pts %"PRId64" timeout %d state %d\n", pageId, page->Version(), page->Pts(), page->Timeout(), page->State()); while (!bs.IsEOF()) {| see you

vdr-sxfe OSD transparency
by Scott Waye 13 Aug '12

13 Aug '12

Hi, Upgraded a bunch of stuff (vdr -> 1.7.28, xinelib -> latest from hg) and I've lost my transparent OSD (ST:TNG) when using vdr-sxfe. What is it that controls the transparency of the OSD? Does vdr overlay the OSD onto the video, or is it sent as a separate layer somehow to the output device and the output device decides how to merge? I would like to know if I need to concentrate on vdr config or xine config. vdr command: vdr -v /data/video -c /var/lib/vdr --lib=/usr/lib/vdr/plugins -r /usr/lib/vdr/vdr-recordingaction -s /usr/lib/vdr/vdr-shutdown-message -E /var/cache/vdr/epg.data -u vdr -g /tmp --port 2001 --lirc -P \"streamdev-server -r /usr/bin/externremux.sh\" -P \"xineliboutput --local=none --primary\" -P vnsiserver --vfat -w 60" vdr-sxfe: /usr/bin/vdr-sxfe xvdr+tcp://192.168.2.33 --video=xv --post=tvtime:method=Greedy2Frame,enabled=1 --fullscreen --syslog --verbose --reconnect Thanks, Scott

Quiet times...

It's been rather quiet on the VDR mailing list lately, but I guess everybody (like myself) is enjoying the summer and engaged in outdoor activities... Klaus
