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]dvb-demod-mn88473-01.fw from somewhere. The firmware
upload has failed at least once on the Raspberry Pi 2 (using Linux
4.9.59), but never on another machine that runs a 4.13.0 kernel.
I did not yet get the infrared remote control to produce anything in
evtest.
With dvbv5-zap (after running dvbv5-scan), I can tune into DVB-T2
channels like this:
dvbv5-zap -a 0 -f 1 -c dvb_channel.conf 'Yle TV1 HD' -r
After this, I can play the video and audio stream on the Raspberry Pi 2:
omxplayer /dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr0
Unless I explicitly specify the options -a 0 -f 1, then dvbv5-zap will
fail to find any DVB-T2 senders, because it apparently defaults to
frontend0, which is DVB-T only.
In VDR 2.3.8, I have only been able to view DVB-T from the first
frontend.
When I did a trick and renamed /dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend1 to frontend0
before starting VDR, VDR no longer complained that the DVB-T2 channels
(which I converted from the dvb_channel.conf to channels.conf with
dvb-format-convert) not being available, but it did not seem to receive
anything from these channels either.
Also, after using dvbv5-scan or dvbv5-zap, I sometimes have to invoke
w_scan to "reset" the hardware so that VDR can receive DVB-T channels.
I would like to receive and record DVB-T and DVB-T2 on this setup. I am
willing to try patches or do some programming myself, but I would
appreciate some hints to get started.

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]c) we see
tChannelID channelID(Source, getOriginalNetworkId(), getTransportStreamId(), getServiceId());
cChannel *Channel = Channels->GetByChannelID(channelID, true);
and channel is NULL in my case.
I added some debug prints to GetByChannelID() in the search loop:
printf("sid: %d == %d, %s, %s %d\n",
Channel->Sid(),
sid,
(const char *)ChannelID.ToString(),
(const char *)Channel->GetChannelID().ToString(),
Channel->GetChannelID() == ChannelID);
And here is an example of what I get:
sid: 517 == 517, T-8442-2-517, T-0-506-517 0
The internal channel ID of vdr reads T-0-506-517. 517 is the SID, 506
is the radio-channel frequency in MHz. This is the right internal
channel for this EIT-section.
The EIT-channel-ID is telling me that 8442 is the original network ID
and 2 might be the radio-channel ID.
I tweaked the operator==() of ChannelID to make it work, but not in a
contributable manner.
How should this be fixed correctly?
Is this a regression introduced somewhere?
Can it be solved by configuration?
Thanks for any help.
best regards,

I was looking at some da_DK files and it seems like danish translation
for these and properly others contain very little or no translation:
vdr-epgsearch.mo
vdr-live.mo
vdr-skinenigmang.mo
I looked at a few other languages and they seemed to be empty some of them.
I suggest removing empty translations.
The da_DK translation for VDR (http://www.tvdr.de/download.htm) is
translationed like 60% so keep that but i would like the filename
changed from "da_DK.po" to "da.po".
This change will also …
[View More]make it match the "Language: da\n" line inside the
file.
Maybe you want to change it for the other languages to so the Language:
line matches the file names of all the translations.
Are there a page or something so i can check all translations in one place?
I would like danish translations to only use "da" and not "da_DK" so i
try to make software use the same style so the distribution only have
one folder called "da" with all the translations into of both "da" and
"da_DK" folders.

When I start vdr and using the skinflatplus plugin, I see many log entries:
Nov 18 11:23:06 vdr vdr[1639]: [1639] imageloader LoadLogo:
/mnt/storage/video/plugins/skinflatplus/logos//kuwait radio 1
obsolete.png could not be loaded
Nov 18 11:23:06 vdr vdr[1639]: [1639] imageloader LoadLogo:
/mnt/storage/video/plugins/skinflatplus/logos//kuwait - radio quran
obsolete.png could not be loaded
I see a reference to an image cache and I assume it is trying to load
logos that no longer reside in …
[View More]the logos directory.
How can I clear the cache, (and where is it located)?
Thanks,
Richard

Hi all,
does someone know:
...are there any plans to implement a native client/server functionality direct
into a future VDR code, with a kind of streamdev client/server usability?
Thanks

I do not know a best one but....
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. Facing problems with instability, splitted
pictures, …
[View More]out of syck, and "jumping" fast forward modes (I look a lot of
movies/series in 2-4 times speed up as in here we have subtitles).
Shortly to say i did not manage to archive proper system with any of vdr
plugins.
Now im trying using VNSI & kodi in android tv and it still look
promising. Just testing it currently inside on older laptop. Other great
thing there is that i can move my server (including dvb sick) away from
living room to garage and use only small and better looking device in
living room.
