I don't know if anyone else still uses the xmltv2vdr.pl perl script
for piping XMLTV data into VDR's epg, but I've been keeping a version
of it updated with some additional function here:
https://github.com/oldmanuk/xmltv2vdr
These are the changes since the last version (1.0.9) was released on
the mailing list
- Add support for XMLTV episode-num. Currently gets added as EPG entry
'sub-title', if no existing subtitle has been found, in the form
sXXeXX (e.g., Bones~s01e01).
- Change …
[View More]default SVDRP port number to 6419.
- Better support for ATSC/PVRINPUT EPG sources.
- Allow multiple channels to have the same XMLTV channel id, useful for
multi input (e.g., DVB-T, DVB-S) systems where you want to feed VDR
the same info. Previously only a 1:1 mapping was permitted.
I've also received a pull request from someone who rewrote the whole
script to be a lot more readable and to use full XML parsing (rather
than just line-by-line scraping), but I still need to investigate what
the performance penalty is before accepting that in.

Hi,
I wrote a patch to Steve Toth hvr3000 repository, so my FlyDVB Trio can use
multiple frontend.
So I get:
/dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0
/dev/dvb/adapter0/demux1
/dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr0
/dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr1
/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0
/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend1
/dev/dvb/adapter0/net0
/dev/dvb/adapter0/net1
The bus of the two frontend is shared, isn't possible to get access to both
frontend simultaneously, so I get an -EBUSY error by trying accessing
frontend1 if frontend0 is …
[View More]in use.
VDR doesn't support yet the second frontend, and it try to get exclusive
access on both frontend on start, so the second frontend is inusabile.
Vdr should probe for multiple frontend at start, and access frontend only on
channel change.
Please can someone give me an help to wrote a patch for this issue?
Best Regards,
Eddi

Hi list,
I'm planning to update my infrastructure according to the follow scheme:
http://filter-failure.eu/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/vdr-new-backend.png
The red texts are things where I'm unsure about. Especially the usage
of vdr-sxfe on the RPI. I made this chart before finding out that there
is rpihddevice and a recommended streamdev-usage.
This shows that I have a need for streamdev and xineliboutput (as
others on this list).
Is there problem with running the xineliboutput and …
[View More]streamdev-server
plugins at the same time on a vdr-host?
When will we start facing problems using the xineliboutput-plugin with
VDR? What is most likely to break first in this case?
Thanks for any comments,

Hi all,
I wanna start vdr as root with -P'softhddevice -d :0.0 -f -v vdpau -a hw:0,7 -D' at openbox startup.
How I can do that properly please ?
Thank you
Hi,
I am currently using xineliboutput, and I'm using it with "--local=none"
everywhere so I can attach and detach from anywhere in the LAN, even
from the PC VDR is running on. It's working quite nicely this way.
Upside: No local configuration on any PC, no concurrency issues with
timers, channel updates etc.. just call "vdr-sxfe <host>" and you're in
the game.
Downside: Multiple connected clients at the same time get the same
programme, OSD, etc. [skippy/hanging video for adapting …
[View More]to the different
client speeds, OSD sizing issues for different client resolutions]
Is there an equivalent solution which I read to be a more recent/better
supported alternative? AFAIK softhddevice is similar to xineliboutput
but lacks remote features, behaves like xineliboutput with
"--local=sxfe --noremote", but I could be wrong. This doesn't look like
a viable alternative to my current network architecture.
While streamdev and VNSI/XVDR solve some of the issues, most notably the
multi-client dependency, they create new ones. No native OSD with
VNSI/XVDR, VDR configuration synchronization hassle with streamdev.
Is there any other thin-client streaming solution with native VDR OSD
available?
Any other suggestions?
Thanks,
- Matthias

Hi,
how to make vdr save epg data ?
I use xmltv2vdr to retrieve epg database, so is need about 5 minutes to
put in to vdr. Should always run xmltv2vdr after restarting vdr ?
the epg.data is configured to be stored in /home/.config/vdr/ with
right permission, but no file created :(
Here cmd line:
/usr/bin/vdr -v /home/Video -c /home/.config/vdr -L /usr/lib/vdr
-r /usr/lib/vdr/vdr-recordingaction -s -E /home/.config/vdr/epg.data ...
there may be a setup that I ignored ?
Thanks.

Hi,
I just switched to softhddevice, it works great on SD channels but I can't watch HD ones.
On HD channels, I'm hearing the sound but the picture is buggy and only shows the last SD channel's frame.
I start softhddevice with : -P'softhddevice -d :0.0 -v vdpau'
The syslog shows the following error 'video/vdpau: decoder rendering failed: An invalid handle value was provided.'
How can I fix that pls ?
Another thing, there is too much options in softhddevice OSD plugin configuration. Is there a …
[View More]good beginner tutorial I can read for these options pls ?
