How can I add custom information to the EPG?
by John Klimek 16 Jun '11

16 Jun '11

My provider sends EEPG information containing information such as "Original Air Date" and "Episode ID". I think I can add the neccessary DVB descriptors the code but where should I add this in the epg.data file? Does anybody have any information or advice on this? My goal is to use the epgsearch plugin with this extra data to record "new" episodes (ie. never before aired), etc.

cppcheck: VDR 1.7.18: [timers.c:53]: (error) snprintf size is out of bounds
by Paul Menzel 15 Jun '11

15 Jun '11

Dear VDR folks, Cppcheck 1.49 [1] reports the following error when run against VDR 1.7.18. [timers.c:53]: (error) snprintf size is out of bounds Looking at `timers.c` in `CTimer` `*file = 0` and afterward written to if I am not mistaken. […] cTimer::cTimer(bool Instant, bool Pause, cChannel *Channel) { startTime = stopTime = 0; lastSetEvent = 0; recording = pending = inVpsMargin = false; flags = tfNone; if (Instant) SetFlags(tfActive | tfInstant); channel = Channel ? Channel : Channels.GetByNumber(cDevice::CurrentChannel()); time_t t = time(NULL); struct tm tm_r; struct tm *now = localtime_r(&t, &tm_r); day = SetTime(t, 0); weekdays = 0; start = now->tm_hour * 100 + now->tm_min; stop = now->tm_hour * 60 + now->tm_min + Setup.InstantRecordTime; stop = (stop / 60) * 100 + (stop % 60); if (stop >= 2400) stop -= 2400; priority = Pause ? Setup.PausePriority : Setup.DefaultPriority; lifetime = Pause ? Setup.PauseLifetime : Setup.DefaultLifetime; *file = 0; aux = NULL; event = NULL; if (Instant && channel) snprintf(file, sizeof(file), "%s%s", Setup.MarkInstantRecord ? "@" : "", *Setup.NameInstantRecord ? Setup.NameInstantRecord : channel->Name()); […] Unfortunately I do not know C++ well enough to judge this error message.

cppcheck: VDR 1.7.18: [recording.c:1130]: (error) Allocation with UpdateFileName, TouchFile doesn't release it.
by Paul Menzel 15 Jun '11

15 Jun '11

Dear VDR folks, using Cppcheck 1.49 [1] to check VDR 1.7.18 the above error is shown. Unfortunately I do not know how to fix this. The following methods are the following (from two files). void cRecordings::TouchUpdate(void) { bool needsUpdate = NeedsUpdate(); TouchFile(UpdateFileName()); if (!needsUpdate) lastUpdate = time(NULL); // make sure we don't tigger ourselves } const char *cRecordings::UpdateFileName(void) { if (!updateFileName) updateFileName = strdup(AddDirectory(VideoDirectory, ".update")); return updateFileName; } void TouchFile(const char *FileName) { if (utime(FileName, NULL) == -1 && errno != ENOENT) LOG_ERROR_STR(FileName); } Thanks, Paul [1] http://cppcheck.sourceforge.net/

How to add new sattelite?
by Artem Makhutov 12 Jun '11

12 Jun '11

Hello, I would like to receive one more sattelite using VDR. I have added one more LNB to my sat dish pointing to AMOS S4.0W. I have manually added some channels to channels.conf and vdr has pick them up and has updated channels.conf, but a lot of channels are missed there. It looks like the NIT table is incorrect on Amos and VDR does not find all channels. What is the best way to perform a full scan on vdr, or just to add the missing transponders? Thanks, Artem

It will only become false again during runtime, if vdr calls the pvrinput- function SetChannelDevice() and determines the needed settings. And this is your problem. There are no debug messages from pvrinput's SetChannelDevice() or ProvidesChannel(), so vdr never calls these pvrinput functions - although a channel switch for a pvrinput device is requested. But why? I have no idea. It works for you with vomp. It worked for me with streamdev when I tested this last year. But I had only streamdev-server running and used vlc to switch channels. Maybe a streamdev developer reads this and has an idea or can explain possible interactions between streamdev-client, vdr and a receiving device.

If both my tuners are busy then it will lock to channel 5 on my backend if I test it with xineliboutput. Not lock to channel 6. I had a look at the http::// streamdev playlist settings and it sees different channel pids. Streamdev to vlc would work as it breaks the streamdev connection when you change channel. But streamdev-server to streamdev-client doesn't seem to break the connection, just request a second channel as it releases the first.

I think Rob's version of pvrinput has already the code for calling the externchannelswitch-script in "case eTelevision" and not only in "case eExternalInput". (Otherwise it wouldn't work at startup). The code in ProvidesChannel() and SetChannelDevice checks not only for the same frequency, but also for the channel number: if ((Channel->Number() == CurrentChannel.Number()) && (CurrentFrequency == Channel->Frequency()) && (CurrentInput == input) && (CurrentNorm == norm)) When Rob switches to another channel number, pvrinput should return needsDetachReceivers = true in ProvidesChannel(). It should also get a call for SetChannelDevice(). The problem is that both functions are never called - but obviously only in combination with running streamdev.
