by Klaus Schmidinger 02 Sep '11

02 Sep '11

There have been some reports about recording problems with VDR 1.7.20 on some HD channels. This patch should fix this.

Bug in VDR which calls MsgOsdClear too often
by Michael Eiler 02 Sep '11

02 Sep '11

Hi Klaus, i just realized that if you open an event osd MsgOsdClear is called too often. Example: * Open Main-OSD * Select Schedule * Select an Item Now vdr at first calls OsdCurrentItem(const char *Text) and some other items and then calls MsgOsdClear and then calls OsdTextItem(const char *Text, bool Scroll) . If I now want to save the information of this methods calls and forward it to the http-request in my restfulapi-plugin that the event-Title information is misssing because MsgOsdClear shouldn't have been called. I had a look into the vdr source and I thought the code should be in cMenuEvent but I couldn't find a call to MsgOsdClear. It would be really helpful if you have a look at this. Looking forward to your answer. nice regards Michael

Possible to add custom EPG data?
by John Klimek 02 Sep '11

02 Sep '11

How difficult is it to add custom (additional) data to the epg.data file? For example, my satellite network broadcasts additional fields such as "original air date" and "repeat episode?", etc. Additional, how hard would this be to add to VDR Live (and epgsearch?)

Re: [vdr] Diseqc problems with VDR1.7.19
by Hawes, Mark 01 Sep '11

01 Sep '11

Just looked at the trace I sent in my initial post and realised that I had selected a Diseqc command that I had modified while trying to diagnose the situation so my annotations < > were a bit misleading. The following should be less confusing: Diseqc command list found = t v [E0 10 38 F4] W500 [E0 31 6B 04] W250 [E1 31 6B 04] W15 T Diseqc action = 1 Diseqc action = 3 Diseqc action = 7 Sending Diseqc command: E1 31 6B 04 < Wrong, should be E0 10 38 F4 > Diseqc action = 7 Sending Diseqc command: E1 31 6B 04 < Wrong, should be E0 31 6B 04 > Diseqc action = 7 Sending Diseqc command: E1 31 6B 04 Diseqc action = 2 Again, the final Diseqc command has been sent three times, not the three commands in the sequence they appear in the command list. Apologies for the confusion. Mark.

xine 1.2 vaapi
by Stuart Morris 30 Aug '11

30 Aug '11

Does anyone know how one can enable vaapi in xine 1.2? I've got an AMD HD4200 motherboard graphics system working ok with MPlayer-vaapi. I have built FFMPEG with VAAPI but I don't know how to test if that works. I would like to watch UK FreeviewHD using Xineliboutput or Xine plugins. Thanks

VDR 1.7.20 - Incorrect Progress Bar Times for Radio Programmes
by Chris Mayo 27 Aug '11

27 Aug '11

Progress bar display shows excessive times for radio programmes (no video). A recording of about 5 minutes starts at 5:22:13 and ends at 27404:47:54. The actual recording is fine. Recording is from BBC Radio 3 using DVB-T. ffmpeg -i shows: Input #0, mpegts, from '00001.ts': Duration: 00:05:06.12, start: 38666.622211, bitrate: 225 kb/s Program 132 Stream #0.0[0x1b6](eng): Audio: mp2, 48000 Hz, stereo, s16, 192 kb/s I see the same playing with dvbhddevice or xineliboutput. Recordings made with previous versions of vdr (including 1.7.19 with suggested reversion to 1.7.18 recording code) display correct times playing with 1.7.20. Chris

May it be possible to use a fullfeature cards as output device only ?
by Dieter Bloms 26 Aug '11

26 Aug '11

Hi, the tuner part of my fullfeatured card ist broken, so I want to buy a nova card and use this fullfeatured card as output device only. At the moment vdr tries to use this card also as receiver. So may it be possible to tell vdr it should use this card only for output ? -- Best regards Dieter -- I do not get viruses because I do not use MS software. If you use Outlook then please do not put my email address in your address-book so that WHEN you get a virus it won't use my address in the >From field.

[feature request] recording length computation and storage
by Steffen Barszus 23 Aug '11

23 Aug '11

Hi ! After having seen that there are several plug-ins computing the recording length on their own and that being a very expensive task (in respect of io and cpu) and also the same implementation needs to be copied over and over again, i would like to request, that vdr is storing the length of a recording and make it accessible to the plug-ins. I would imagine, that some logic to store it in the info file after/while generating/writing the index would be a good way. Plug-ins which possibly could make use of that are: * live * extrecmenu * restfulapi I'm sure there are more of it. Has someone allready thought of this ? Are there any plans to have that or someone allready using a patch for this ? Thanks ! Steffen

Trying to understand MPEG-TS (PMT, PES etc)
by Chris Rankin 23 Aug '11

23 Aug '11

Hi, I am digging into DVB streams and TS demuxing, and I was wondering: is the PMT the *only* (reasonable) way to determine which codec a given PES is using, please? The TS demuxing code that I am reading (*cough* xine's) seems to have the idea that if it receives an audio or video PES with a PID that it hasn't seen before then it can "autodetect" the stream (somehow?!). But if it has to wait for the next PMT anyway to determine which codec to use then I'm not sure that I understand the point. Can anyone advise, please? My research into MPEG-TS has only revealed the following, with regards to PMTs: "Each elementary stream is labeled with a stream_type value." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MPEG_transport_stream#PMT Thanks, Chris

Wiki update
by Johannes Stezenbach 22 Aug '11

22 Aug '11

So it seemes like MediaWiki-1.14.1 is somewhat broken with PHP-5.3.3 and there have been issues with both the VDR and V4L-DVB Wikis. Thus I've updated MediaWiki to 1.16.5, and full functionality seems to be restored. Please let me know if there are still any issues. Johannes
