Trouble with DVB-T2 on frontend 1
by Marko Mäkelä 03 Jan '22

03 Jan '22

Hi all, I recently got a USB adapter "Astrometa DVB-T2" that I would like to use with VDR. It comprises two frontends: /dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0: Realtek RTL2832 (DVB-T) /dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend1: Panasonic MN88473 (DVB-T2 and DVB-C) I guess it is similar to this one; just a slightly different plastic case with some more ventilation holes: http://blog.palosaari.fi/2014/09/naked-hardware-18-astrometa-amdvb-t2-v2.ht… The hardware appears to work fine, once I copied the /lib/firmware/… [View More]

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 not cleaning .del directories
by Teemu Suikki 21 Jan '18

21 Jan '18

Hi, I just experienced weird problem. My hard drive became 100% full. But I noticed that there are tons of .del directories, some dating from months ago.. VDR hasn't removed them! What could cause this? I see entries in log: low disk space while recording, trying to remove a deleted recording... Jan 16 08:23:06 puucee vdr: [30504] removing recording xxx.del And these recordings ARE removed really. But the normal background cleaning does not happen. This is somehow related to the fact that … [View More]

Semantics of OsdItem and OsdCurrentItem
by Malte Forkel 14 Jan '18

14 Jan '18

Hi, I'm struggling a bit with the semantics of OsdItem and OsdCurrentItem in VDR 2.2.0. My initial assumption was that all items in a menu would first be announced by OsdItem and later calls to OsdCurrentItem would then identify the current selection or change its text. This is true for VDR's main menu and the Settings submenu. When I open Settings -> OSD, OsdItem is not called anymore. Rather, I get multiple calls to OsdCurrentItem. The argument of some of the calls are not even valid … [View More]

technotrend S2-3200 symbol rates below 5Msymbol/s not supported/working
by Jody Gugelhupf 07 Jan '18

07 Jan '18

hey folks, i'm having some trouble with technotrend s2-3200 dvb-s card [ https://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/TechnoTrend_TT-budget_S2-3200 ] Card is being recognized:05:04.0 Multimedia controller: Philips Semiconductors SAA7146 (rev 01) Subsystem: Technotrend Systemtechnik GmbH S2-3200 Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 32, IRQ 20 Memory at fdcfe000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=512] Kernel driver in use: budget_ci dvb Kernel … [View More]modules: budget_ciMy Kernel: 4.14.11-1-ARCH.It works fine with w_scan or tvheadend I can watch many stations on multiple satelites without any problems, however when trying to tune anything with a symbol rate lower then 5000 (5 Msymbols/s) the driver does not seem to support it, see below messages from w_scan when trying. This makes me miss many stations I'd like to receive. However, the manufacturer clearly indicates the card supports symbol rates starting as low as 2000 (2 Msymbols/s), [ http://www.tt-downloads.de/Update/engl/techspec_tt-budget_s2-3200_en.pdf ] so the driver needs to be adjusted I guess? How can I make it work or adjust the driver for this?trying 'S2 f = 12138 kHz H SR = 14580 2/3 0,AUTO 8PSK (0:0:0)' (time: 02:59.734) trying 'S f = 12515 kHz H SR = 8888 3/4 0,35 QPSK (0:0:0)' (time: 03:02.894) trying 'S f = 12525 kHz V SR = 30000 5/6 0,35 QPSK (0:0:0)' (time: 03:05.424) trying 'S f = 12544 kHz H SR = 24000 5/6 0,35 QPSK (0:0:0)' (time: 03:09.274) trying 'S f = 12562 kHz V SR = 25000 5/6 0,35 QPSK (0:0:0)' (time: 03:12.394) trying 'S f = 12571 kHz H SR = 2800 3/4 0,35 QPSK (0:0:0)' (time: 03:15.933) skipped: (srate 2800000 unsupported by driver) initial_tune:2813: Setting frontend failed S f = 12571 kHz H SR = 2800 3/4 0,35 QPSK (0:0:0) trying 'S f = 12577 kHz H SR = 2590 5/6 0,35 QPSK (0:0:0)' (time: 03:16.447) skipped: (srate 2590000 unsupported by driver) initial_tune:2813: Setting frontend failed S f = 12577 kHz H SR = 2590 5/6 0,35 QPSK (0:0:0) trying 'S f = 12588 kHz V SR = 2260 5/6 0,35 QPSK (0:0:0)' (time: 03:17.660) skipped: (srate 2260000 unsupported by driver) initial_tune:2813: Setting frontend failed S f = 12588 kHz V SR = 2260 5/6 0,35 QPSK (0:0:0) trying 'S f = 12592 kHz H SR = 8888 3/4 0,35 QPSK (0:0:0)' (time: 03:18.893) trying 'S f = 12592 kHz V SR = 2220 5/6 0,35 QPSK (0:0:0)' (time: 03:23.487) skipped: (srate 2220000 unsupported by driver) initial_tune:2813: Setting frontend failed S f = 12592 kHz V SR = 2220 5/6 0,35 QPSK (0:0:0) trying 'S f = 12596 kHz V SR = 3700 5/6 0,35 QPSK (0:0:0)' (time: 03:24.003) skipped: (srate 3700000 unsupported by driver) initial_tune:2813: Setting frontend failed S f = 12596 kHz V SR = 3700 5/6 0,35 QPSK (0:0:0) trying 'S f = 12601 kHz H SR = 4400 3/4 0,35 QPSK (0:0:0)' (time: 03:25.993) skipped: (srate 4400000 unsupported by driver)thanks in advance!
