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]

French DVB-T Channel IDs vs. EIT Channel IDs
by Patrick Boettcher 25 Jan '20

25 Jan '20

Hi list, since some time (1-2 years) I noticed that the DVB-T channels do not show EPG anymore. I'm not sure what is the root-cause: either it was the migration of French DVB-T to HD (in 2016) or an update of VDR. Anyway, this morning I took the time to figure out what is wrong and here is what I found. In short, the channel-ID generated from the one received in the EIT does not correspond to a known channel-ID from the channel list, and VDR drops the whole section: In cEIT::cEIT (from eit.… [View More]

I faced same situation when my old good nvidia ion platform cannot handle hd channels properly. I tested different plugings with intel HD graphics (integrated in dell laptop via vaapi) but did not get any of those working as old systems.

Since dumping Nvidia I haven't kept up with what their current cards capabilities are so I can't advise on an Nvidia card that does HEVC/h265. My NUC handles it great though! ;) > I didn't … [View More]

> I plan to upgrade my VDR box, with these two important features : > - reading mkv files => I am using xineliboutput and vdpau. MKV is just a container for data streams and support is wide-spread. Any half-decent player supports mkv. It's also unrelated to xineliboutput and VDPAU so I assume what you actually mean by mkv is being able to play back HD or greater content using VDPAU for decoding and xineliboutput to get the decoded frames to your tv. VDPAU is EOL. Nvidia currently has … [View More]

Advice for best hardware and plugins to play MKV files and receive 4K channels
by Karim AFIFI 29 Oct '18

29 Oct '18

Hello, I plan to upgrade my VDR box, with these two important features : - reading mkv files => I am using xineliboutput and vdpau. - receiving 4K channels => for HD, I am using old PCI/PCIE motherboard + TBS6928 (with CI). Could you share best hardware cpu/video/card,motherboard/..., & best plugin/driver/... you advice at the moment? Thanks for ther feedback. Karim
