Audio only output device?
by Teemu Suikki 13 Mar '13

13 Mar '13

Hi! Is there any simple audio output device? I have two sound cards in my system. I would like to use one to play audio of one tv channel, while the other is used normally with softhddevice. I can probably hack it with streamdev and some mp3 player, but perhaps some easier solution is available? Why I need this? Formula1 starts next weekend. I can get HD picture from one channel and Finnish audio on other..

SVDRP - Bug or feature
by Michael Frank 13 Mar '13

13 Mar '13

Hello, I'm not sure whether this is a bug or an intended feature: When using an SVDRP command the result displayed always lacks the hyphen in the last line, e.g. lstc returns 250-2609 Canvas (MPEG4);TV Vlaanderen:12722:HC56M2S0:S19.2E:22000:502+8190=27:76=dut@3:43:1817,1818,1819,100,500:12802:53:1119:0 250 2610 DAYSTAR TV;TSA:11067:VC56M2S0:S19.2E:22000:2026=2:3026=@3:0:0:31307:1:1040:0 221 HD-vdr closing connection The example was taken from vdr-1.7.27 from the yavdr distribution 0.5 This is also true for lstr, lste etc. Kind regards Michael

[ANNOUNCE] vdr-rotorng-0.3
by Morfsta 12 Mar '13

12 Mar '13

Hi, The third version of my plugin rotorng has been released here: - http://projects.vdr-developer.org/projects/plg-rotor-ng/files This plugin allows you to steer a disecq 1.1 rotor, find satellites with a signal meter and to store them at given positions. It also has a rudimentary channel scanner which works with both DVB-S and S2. Much of this code has been merged together from the existing actuator and rotor plugins, so thanks to the developers of those for their work. Please see the README file, there are a number of functions within the user interface that aren't fully implemented or working but the main functions are there. Changes since previous version: - 2012-10-11: Version 0.2 - updated sat card store value in config, always resetting - fixed issue with change implemented in 1.7.23 (thanks to Ihanisch) 2012-10-21: Version 0.3 - Added patch for vdr-1.7.27 onwards, old patch for VDR still exists also. - Fixed problem with cStatusMonitor::ChannelSwitch call introduced in VDR 1.7.26 so dish moves on channel change Good luck!

by Klaus Schmidinger 11 Mar '13

11 Mar '13

VDR developer version 1.7.40 is now available at ftp://ftp.tvdr.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-1.7.40.tar.bz2 A 'diff' against the previous version is available at ftp://ftp.tvdr.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-1.7.39-1.7.40.diff MD5 checksums: f59a7ac199248a870e157c66a6ffc24d vdr-1.7.40.tar.bz2 acff088cc27296cb2c5b794ad4b2e0a8 vdr-1.7.39-1.7.40.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. Approaching version 2.0.0: ========================== If there are no more serious bug reports, the final version 2.0.0 of VDR shall be released on March 31, 2013. So please test this developer version intensely and report any problems you might encounter as soon as possible. The changes since version 1.7.39: - The "Recording info" page of the skins that come with VDR now displays the name of the channel (if available) from which this recording was taken. - Updated the Catalan OSD texts (thanks to Luca Olivetti). - Updated the Spanish OSD texts (thanks to Luca Olivetti). - Added a note about the new default sort order of recordings to the release notes of version 1.7.29 and the UPDATE-2.0.0 file (pointed out by Wolfgang Rohdewald). - Fixed a faulty UTF-8 character in cs_CZ.po. - Added the system's character set to the page header in the epg2html script (pointed out by Dimitar Petrovski). - Updated the Slovenian OSD texts (thanks to Matjaz Thaler). - The new option "Setup/OSD/Always sort folders first" can be used to control whether folders will be always at the top of the Recordings menu, or will be interspersed with plain recordings when sorted alphabetically. - Updated the Swedish OSD texts (thanks to Richard Lithvall). - Updated the Chinese OSD texts (thanks to Nan Feng). - Updated the Slovak OSD texts (thanks to Milan Hrala). - Updated the Macedonian OSD texts (thanks to Dimitar Petrovski). - Updated the Dutch OSD texts (thanks to Cedric Dewijs). - Updated the Czech OSD texts (thanks to Ales Jurik). - Updated the Ukrainian OSD texts (thanks to Yarema Aka Knedlyk). - Updated the Estonian OSD texts (thanks to Arthur Konovalov). - Updated the Italian OSD texts (thanks to Diego Pierotto). - Updated the French OSD texts (thanks to Dominique Plu). - Updated the Finnish OSD texts (thanks to Matti Lehtimäki). - Updated the Arabic OSD texts (thanks to Osama Alrawab). - Updated the Romanian OSD texts (thanks to Lucian Muresan). - Renamed the "plp id" to a more general "stream id" and added support for DVB-S2 "Input Stream Identifier" (ISI) (based on a patch from Rolf Ahrenberg). With this VDR now supports "multi streaming" on DVB-S2 and DVB-T2 transponders. - Fixed a possible deadlock when changing the audio track while replaying a recording. - Fixed resuming replay of PES recordings (reported by Oliver Endriss). - Limited the Goto() call in cDvbPlayer::SetAudioTrack() to the main thread, in order to avoid a crash when the track is automatically set from the player thread. - The LCARS skin now calls SetAntiAliasGranularity(20, 16) in order to reserve enough fixed colors on 8bpp displays with anti-aliasing. - Changed the default values for the OSD size back to those before version 1.7.29, to avoid problems with SD-FF cards in case the user switches to the "ST:TNG" or "Classic" skin. Have fun! Klaus

VDR List not ok?
by Manfred Schmidt-Voigt 11 Mar '13

11 Mar '13

Hi, just want to ask, if everything is ok with the VDR list or if there is some Spam Filtering going on to filter out important anouncements. I did not receive the last "official" anounctments from Klaus about 1.7.39 and 1.7.40 via this list. I only saw it in VDR-Portal. But I've get the replies for these anouncements on this list. Strange or well known? greets Manfred -- ------- Manfred Schmidt-Voigt ------- ----- www.mannitec.de ----- ------- mailto:manfred.schmidt-voigt@mannitec.de -------

Final call for translations for VDR version 2.0.0
by Klaus Schmidinger 11 Mar '13

11 Mar '13

The release of VDR version 2.0.0 is imminent, but there are still several untranslated internationalized texts. This is the final call for translations for version 2.0.0. Please don't rely on the original translators to complete these files, some of them may not have time or are no longer interested in VDR. So I would appreciate if anybody who speaks one of these languages could please find the time to translate these texts. Here's a list of the language files that still need some work, together with the number of untranslated texts in each of them: da_DK.po: 134 el_GR.po: 197 hr_HR.po: 134 hu_HU.po: 1 lt_LT.po: 1 nn_NO.po: 262 pl_PL.po: 1 pt_PT.po: 28 ru_RU.po: 1 sl_SI.po: 1 sr_SR.po: 80 tr_TR.po: 134 Please base your work on the latest version of these files in VDR 1.7.40 and send me proper patches (or the complete *.po file). Thanks Klaus

Re: [vdr] small patch for vdr.c: continue even with read-only video directory
by fnu 11 Mar '13

11 Mar '13

> and it's important for me, that vdr cannot write anything to the video directory. Since this is important for you personaly, you want to change VDR for all users, are you serious? >From my personal point of view a read only video directory with an video disk recorder doesn't make much sense. But I wouldn't deny the need, because obviously there a single user out there who does need it, strange enough ... But to change it in a global way like this is IMHO not a way to go. The correct solution would be that any user needing it, must decide and configure something. So, a kind of a switch like an OSD option or even a better way, VDR does check existence of a file in this video directory, e.g. ".vdrro", something similar to ".nodelete" ... === Kind regards fnu

small patch for vdr.c: continue even with read-only video directory
by Peter Münster 10 Mar '13

10 Mar '13

Hi Klaus, Could you please delete line 577 from vdr.c or do something similar to let vdr continue even with read-only video directory? vdr runs fine with this patch on my system, and it's important for me, that vdr cannot write anything to the video directory. (see also http://pmrb.free.fr/vdr/) Here a small patch: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- --- vdr.c.orig 2013-03-09 21:13:57.846826771 +0100 +++ vdr.c 2013-03-09 21:16:33.503521762 +0100 @@ -574,7 +574,6 @@ if (!DirectoryOk(VideoDirectory, true)) { fprintf(stderr, "vdr: can't access video directory %s\n", VideoDirectory); - return 2; } // Daemon mode: --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- If you prefer, I can write a better patch: stop if not readable, warn if not writable. TIA, -- Peter
