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]

VDR locking up
by VDR User 29 Dec '17

29 Dec '17

Occasionally my signal drops out (haven't looked into it yet), and it causes VDR to completely freeze and become defunct/zombie. That locks up the drivers and the only way to resolve it is by rebooting. No core file gets created. Does anyone know how to prevent the lock-up in the first place? Could it be some kind of leak from the looping (see log clip below)? Here's a clip of the log when it happens. You can see how the log gets filled with the same repeating lines until it crashes. 2016.Oct.… [View More]28|12:08:55 video: slow down video, duping frame 2016.Oct.28|12:08:55 video: decoder buffer

[PATCH] Fix building against musl C library
by glenvt18 19 Feb '17

19 Feb '17

This was tested with Alpine Linux 3.5/musl-1.1.15/gcc-6.2.1/vdr-2.3.2. While building for Alpine, add -lintl to LIBS: echo 'LIBS += -lintl' >> Make.config Some notes: 1. __attribute__((__format_arg__(n))) is supported since gcc-2.8 (1998). 2. freopen() can be reworked to work with musl if it really matters. 3. Musl doesn't define __MUSL__ or whatever. Checking __GLIBC__ is definitely not perfect, but VDR build system can't run tests for the moment. --- i18n.h | 2 +… [View More]- osd.c | 2 +- thread.c | 4 +++- tools.c | 2 +- tools.h | 12 +++++++++++- vdr.c | 6 ++++++ 6 files changed, 23 insertions(+), 5 deletions(-) diff --git a/i18n.h b/i18n.h index f8ad9de..b002bbf 100644 --- a/i18n.h +++ b/i18n.h @@ -46,7 +46,7 @@ const cStringList *I18nLanguages(void); ///< have an actual locale installed.

I upgrade to fedora 25, and now vaapi with xineliboutput don't work for h264 channels. Works well with softhddevice. Attached is a log from vdr-sxfe. Any hint? Jose Alberto

VDR without PrimaryDVB but with xineliboutput ?
by Harald Milz 19 Jan '17

19 Jan '17

Hi all, I would like to run my headless VDR without a primary DVB (or suspended output) but keep xineliboutput running. I can't figure out how. My VDR has 4 receivers (2x Astra, 2x Hotbird) without MPEG decoder. It runs vnsiserver (for my Kodi client), streamdev-server (for some browser / VLC clients) and xineliboutput (because it's sometimes useful to have access to the VDR console via remote). Alas, xineliboutput will always be the primary DVB device and block a receiver, which is nasty … [View More]

Create repeated remote key-press events until the remote key is released
by Patrick Maier 08 Jan '17

08 Jan '17

Hi, I'm using the Sony PS3 Bluetooth remote for controlling VDR. Everything works except for the repeating of key presses while holding down the key on the remote. I'm using the --lirc option for VDR to get the events from eventlircd. I managed to generate an event for the key-down. e.g.: KEY_ENTER and also for the key-up event: KEY_ENTER_rel Here only a suffix is appended to the key name (_rel). Is there a way to generate repeated key presses until the key-up appears? That would be great. … [View More]
