[ANNOUNCE] VDR developer version 1.7.36
by Klaus Schmidinger 19 Feb '13

19 Feb '13

VDR developer version 1.7.36 is now available at ftp://ftp.tvdr.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-1.7.36.tar.bz2 A 'diff' against the previous version is available at ftp://ftp.tvdr.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-1.7.35-1.7.36.diff MD5 checksums: e514f72a2a8c44f39e47b540d6ad325f vdr-1.7.36.tar.bz2 9312a0d10bcda87d3c3c7e6dfbebcd05 vdr-1.7.35-1.7.36.diff WARNING: ======== This is a *developer* version. Even though *I* use it in my productive environment. I strongly recommend that you only use it under controlled conditions and for testing and debugging. The changes since version 1.7.35: - Added maximum SNR value for PCTV Systems nanoStick T2 290e (thanks to Antti Hartikainen). - Added a remark indicating that the coordinates of Rect in a call to cDevice::CanScaleVideo() are in the range of the width and height returned by GetOsdSize() (suggested by Reinhard Nissl). - Modified the Makefiles (thanks to Christopher Reimer). By default VDR is now built according to the FHS ("File system Hierarchy Standard"), and a plain "make" in the VDR source directory just builds everything, but doesn't copy it to ./PLUGINS/lib and ./locale any more. You can use a Make.config file (copied from Make.config.template) and set the parameter LCLBLD=1 to have everything built and installed under the VDR source tree (as was the default in previous versions). If you already have your own Make.config file, you may want to copy the new Make.config.template and adapt it to your needs. If you don't want VDR's data files to be spread around your system according to the FHS, you can set the parameter ONEDIR=1 (using Make.config) to have all files in one /video directory as before. - Fixed the example for cReceiver in PLUGINS.html. - Fixed sorting recordings in case two folders have the same name, but one of them ends in an additional digit, as in "abc" and "abc2" (reported by Andreas Mair). - Added "repeat" function when using the keyboard to control VDR (thanks to Reinhard Nissl). - The SVDRP command LSTR now knows the additional parameter "path", which can be given to get the actual file name of a recording's directory (suggested by Stefan Stolz). - Fixed multiple occurrences of the same directory in the recordings list in case there are directories that only differ in non-alphanumeric characters (reported by Andreas Mair). - Absolute jumps when replaying a recording (via the Red key) are now only performed if an actual value has been entered (suggested by Ulf Kiener). - The last replayed recording is now stored in setup.conf, which allows the blue "Resume" key in the main menu to work even after a restart of VDR. - The SVDRP command NEWT no longer checks whether a timer with the given data already exists (suggested by Malte Forkel). - Implemented scaling of SPU bitmaps (thanks to Johann Friedrichs). - Improved cutting MPEG-2 video (thanks to Sören Moch). - Reduced the number of retries in cTransfer::Receive() to avoid blocking recordings in case the primary device can't handle the current live signal. Have fun! Klaus

XBMC meets VDR UI
by Marx 28 Jan '13

28 Jan '13

Hello Maybe most of you heard about it, but for those who didn't here is thread about deeper integration of XBMC and VDR http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=147354 As author has written: "This is for administration and setup of VDR. It's quite hard to setup VDR and all of its plugins without a GUI. VDR provides.e.g. menus for the various plugins to adjust parameters. I already added a parameter for VNSI, setup for timeshift will follow." Author welcomes feedback. Marx

by Marx 25 Jan '13

25 Jan '13

Hello I use e-tobi repository for VDR: deb http://e-tobi.net/vdr-experimental wheezy base addons vdr-multipatch Softhddevice pugin don't want to work with vdr-multipatch with error: "Restarting Linux Video Disk Recorder: vdr Searching for plugins (VDR 1.7.28/1.7.28) (cache miss): streamdev-server epgsearch quickepgsearch epgsearchonly markad conflictcheckonly vnsiserver live noepg WARNING: The following plugins have been left out due to really binary incompatibility: softhddevice." Also, if I may suggest, it would be nice to add some newer vnsiserver plugin, because that from repository is quiate old and doesn't work with Frodo Marx

VDR, IPTV Plugin and basic authentification
by DaaJees Ka 21 Jan '13

21 Jan '13

hi, currently the iptv plugin doesn't support basic http authentification. i do have some streams where i have to put username:pass before the streaming link (http://user:pass@ip). i've done some "experiments" (i'm not a dev.) with the avilable source code putting directly the b64 encoded string for the user/log combination into the http request and was able to connect and to receive the video. is there any chance to get the support for such case of streams from the authors? thank you miro

VDR scraper
by Marx 15 Jan '13

15 Jan '13

Hello Using XBMC with VNSI plugins it's possible to see recordings from VDR. Title and plot is given from EPG of recordings. Same can be achived with vdrnfofs plugin. I would like hovewer to see description etc from IMDB or other scraper, with posters etc. How to do it? I see a few possibilities from allowing XBMC to scrape recordings, through extending nfofs plugin giving him scraping abilities, to adding plugin scraper to VDR. I can also somewhat script move&rename VDR recordings to allow XBMC use his scraper. Any ideas? Marx

epgsearch alternate channels?
by Teemu Suikki 15 Jan '13

15 Jan '13

Hi! I'm using Yavdr 0.5, with vdr 1.7.27. I have a system with DVB-S and DVB-T tuners. DVB-S (Canal Digital) offers better bitrate versions for most of the Finnish dvb-t channels, and also even HD version of MTV3. So, I'd like to prefer DVB-S and HD, obviously! In MTV3's case, the priority order would be MTV3 HD (DVB-S), MTV3 (DVB-S), MTV3 (DVB-T). They all show the same channel, but with different quality. However, I often get timer conflicts because I only have two DVB-S tuners. I usually just check epgsearch's timer conflict list, and modify the timers to different channel.. But couldn't this be automatic somehow? This problem has been discussed before, but there hasn't been very good solution.. I know there is "Alternative channels"-patch for the VDR, but it seems overly complex. To me it looks like this could be done inside a plugin, either in epgsearch or even some separate plugin that scans the timers and modifies the channels if needed.. Even a separate script (cron job) would work, just scan timers.conf and modify the channels when necessary? -- Teemu Suikki http://www.z-power.fi/

Hi, I'm the author of the plugin. You have to use a true color capable output device (i 'm using softhddevice, but it should also work with xine, or xineliboutput with HUD enabled) to run the plugin.

Hi guys, I'd like to know if anyone has had some success lately using Viaccess CAM with VDR. I'm having error messages in /var/log/messages and nothing is working. I've only tried a Smit Viaccess CAM but if you know of any working Viaccess CAM i'd really appreciate the info. Thanks a lot. Hederic

Tuning timeouts blocks the other adapter
by Mariusz Bialonczyk 13 Jan '13

13 Jan '13

Hi guys! My system is currently based on two dvb cards: - Prof 7301 PCI - Prof 8000 PCIe Both of them is using stv090x frontend. I am using VDR 1.7.31 and i have the following problem: When one adapter has a problem with tuning in epg-scan mode, (eg: frontend 1/0 timed out while tuning to channel...), then the vdr freeze for a while. I can see this while watching tv on the second one (busy) adapter: the xvdr plugin stops feeding xbmc with stream causing buffering and/or artifacts. Another example is that both adapters are in epg-scan mode and i am watching a recording, then every time when i've got "timed out while tuning" in the log, the replay of the recording stops (resulting in a buffering) for a while. When i start vdr with -D0 or -D1 then i've got no problems (but also no 2nd adapter ;) Is it possible that it is caused by some global lock or mutexes in VDR? regards, -- Mariusz Białończyk jabber/e-mail: manio(a)skyboo.net https://github.com/manio
