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 … [View More]

I am trying to use the upnp plugin, but I can’t find documentation. Do you know the format of the config file directories.conf ? Or how I can add a multimedia directory? Jose Alberto

Scrambling timeout issue
by glenvt18 26 Sep '16

26 Sep '16

Hi folks, The code in cDevice::Action() (device.c:1588) which checks whether a stream can be descrambled by a particular CAM relies on the hard-coded TS_SCRAMBLING_TIMEOUT value which is 3 seconds. That can be too low not only for dvbapi, but for some 'real' CAMs as well. When a CAM is unable to start descrabmling in 3 seconds, recordings and streamdev don't work, and VNSI plugin has for years been using hacks and workarounds to cope with it. We need a more flexible solution here. It can be a … [View More]

Can anyone who uses the skinflatplus plugin please tell me what the filename format for channel logo icons is? I currently have them named the same as the channel name from channels.conf, but they do not display. Thanks, Richard

"TS packets to determine frame type"

Hi Klaus, I'm 99% of the way to finishing my H264 ffmpeg transcoding script, I'm just getting 2 of these warnings when reindexing transcoded files May 30 21:08:09 ha-server vdr: [31785] WARNING: required 5 video TS packets to determine frame type May 30 21:08:09 ha-server vdr: [31785] WARNING: required 5 video TS packets to determine frame type Sometimes the number is 4. Fortunately not over 6 yet. Is this a functional problem ? (files play in everything I need them to). I reduced the I-… [View More]

Help debugging a segfault cause
by VDR User 08 Sep '16

08 Sep '16

Hi, I recently had to update packages on a Debian testing box. Afterwards I recompiled fresh VDR + plugins. Now when I start VDR, it crashes with a segfault. I know the versions of everything are fine as I'm running the same versions on other VDR boxes. Does this look like a linkage problem? Any ideas/help is appreciated! ===== Thread 1 (Thread 0xb71df700 (LWP 25684)): #0 0x00000000 in ??

VDR 2.3.1 dvbhddevice plugin
by Richard Scobie 07 Sep '16

07 Sep '16

Does anyone have a vdr 2.3.1 modified version of the dvbhddevice plugin (or a patch against 2.2.0), that they can let me have? I am not at all a coder, but with the help of the changes in the 2.3.1 Release notes and looking at another plugin that had been updated to 2.3.1, I made a few changes to the 2.2.0 plugin and got it to compile and it seems to work fine until I go to delete a recording, at which point vdr crashes. This is vanilla vdr 2.3.1 and only my (probably incomplete) … [View More]

vdr-convert released
by Richard F 04 Sep '16

04 Sep '16

I'd like to announce the release of vdr-convert at https://projects.vdr-developer.org/projects/vdr-convert One of two people asked me to release it when ready, and after converting / testing most of my 4TB archive with it, I think it's about ready for the VDR community to use. What is it? A shell script with associated tools to transcode the content of VDR1.x and VDR2.x recordings as accurately as possible, including all streams, audio, AD, subtitles, and metadata into more compressed format,… [View More]
