VDR ISDB-T support
by Christian Rodriguez 14 Sep '18

14 Sep '18

Hello everyone! I'm from Argentina, and up to last month I've been using VDR 1.7.262 with an ISDB-T USB adapter. It works really good, but the last week I've been trying to upgrade to VDR 2.2 and I've found a problem with ISDB-T cards: they are not supported. As I'm really interested in using VDR, I was digging inside the code and found a partial solution for this problem: as ISDBT is the same as DVBT, I've changed the way delivery system is queried. My changes are applied in a cloned repo at github: https://github.com/chrodriguez/vdr/commit/dadbca57c2dc55c1c53b4fa8f68b56728… That's the only change I've made. Now I can enjoy my fresh upgraded VDR installation!! I think a better refactor should be made, but for now it's working perfectly deployed as a docker container: https://registry.hub.docker.com/u/chrodriguez/vdr Thanks for this wonderfull project! -- Lic.

Using a rasberry pi as vdr client
by Damien Bally 01 Feb '16

01 Feb '16

Hi I want to use raspberry pi as if it were a graphic card : I mean the dvb devices on a PC style server, IR receiver preferably on the server too (rpi and server in the same room) I don't know how to configure it, there is apparently 2 ways of doing it (from what I understood) + xineliboutput with vdr-fbfe (rpi plugin is closed source ? the one here : http://www.vdr-portal.de/board18-vdr-hardware/board98-arm-co/118588-rasperr…) + streamdev and rpihddevice (which additional plugins ?) The second way seems to be more complicated to configure, and I'm not sure it suits my project, but the rpihddevice is well maintained though. The first solution is perhaps much straightforward and includes a media player (?) Could you tell me more please ? Damien

Which DVB-S / DVB-S2 cards are recommended?
by Christian Rodriguez 02 Oct '15

02 Oct '15

Hello! I'm new to satellite systems, so I would like to buy a cheap card, considering decrypting streams. The question is about which hardware is recommended to run with VDR, that can decode encrypted traffic Thanks in advance! -- Lic. Christian A. Rodriguez @car_unlp

Reception of 27.5W
by Luboš Doležel 16 Aug '15

16 Aug '15

Hi, I'm trying to receive BBC-SATBACK from 27.5W. I surely won't go into any decryption details here. I can play *all* of the channels in the transponder in VLC via the "TS" stream from vdr-streamdev. In case of "PES" streams, however, I can only play the SD channels (MPEG-2 audio & video), but none HD channels (H.264 video and AAC audio). No data come in. A similar problem happens with vdr-xvdr: SD channels work, HD channels don't. This is what appears in the log: Aug 16 14:22:50 [vdr] [11075] cAudioRepacker(0xC0): skipped 230 bytes while syncing on next audio frame Aug 16 14:23:06 [vdr] [11075] ERROR: no useful data seen within 10501304 byte of video stream Could you guys please point me at what could cause this? Decryption is apparently working given that TS streams work... Thanks! -- Luboš Doležel

xmltv2vdr.pl
by Dominic Evans 14 Aug '15

14 Aug '15

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 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.

vdr on arch linux, and on debian wiki
by cedric.dewijs＠telfort.nl 07 Aug '15

07 Aug '15

Hi All, I have started 2 articles about VDR, one on the arch linux wiki, and one on the debian wiki. on the arch linux wiki, there are a lot of people who edit the article, but on debian i am the ony one. I don't understand why. Could it be that vdr is a sensitive subject for debian? What are your thoughts about this? https://wiki.debian.org/VDR?action=info https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php?title=Digitenne&action=history Kind regards, Cedric
