[ANNOUNCE] remotetimers-0.1.4
by Frank Schmirler 01 Mar '11

01 Mar '11

Hi, I just released a new version of the remotetimers plugin on http://vdr.schmirler.de The new version includes some minor bugfixes plus the following new features: * By renaming a recording, it may now also be moved to a different filesystem by a background task. You can limit the bandwidth used for copying in the plugin setup. * The plugin offers several service calls to other plugins which are already used by "yaepghd-0.0.3-ce" (http://vdrportal.de/board/thread.php?postid=949924#post949924) Changelog: - Improved German translations - Updated Italian translations (thanks to Diego Pierotto) - Default server port is now 0, i.e. taken from svdrpservice - Fixed missing timer markers when opening the Schedule for the first time - Implemented moving recording to a different filesystem with optional bandwidth throttle - Cutting from menu failed for PES recordings since VDR 1.7.3 due to missing parameters to cMarks::Load - Moving recordings into folders named ' ' failed or caused unexpected results as VDR's text input control strips trailing whitespace. Now folder ' ' is assumed when renaming a recording and the name ends with the folder delimiter character - Don't rename a recording if the user completely wiped out the name - Added service interface for operating on timers - Updated MainMenuHooks patch to v1.0.1 Have fun!

Handling independent CI devices
by Issa Gorissen 01 Mar '11

01 Mar '11

Hello, Support for the CI on Digital Devices under linux is put on hold because no solution has been aggreed on as of 17/01/2001. This is about independent CI devices handling. www.mail-archive.com/linux-media@vger.kernel.org/msg22196.html www.mail-archive.com/linuxtv-commits@linuxtv.org/msg09640.html As the needed changes will have an impact on softwares like MythtTV/VDR/TVHeadend, I would like to know your opinions/views about how you see this implemented and what are your expectations. Thx -- Issa

vdr-sxfe not working
by Tony Houghton 27 Feb '11

27 Feb '11

vdr-sxfe isn't working for me at the moment. I'm using 1.0.6+cvs20110213.0131-1 from Tobias Grimm's repository. I've tried it on two different PCs, both running Debian unstable amd64; neither of them are the same PC VDR is running on. I can't check it on my VDR box at the moment, but it did work a couple of days ago and I don't think it's been upgraded since. It prints: vdr-sxfe 1.0.90-cvs (build with xine-lib 1.1.19, using xine-lib 1.1.19) VDR server not given, searching ... Found VDR server: host 192.168.1.68, port 37890 [5697] [vdr-fe] GNOME screensaver disabled [5697] [xine-vo ] wire_video_driver() FAILED (vo_driver != vos_driver) [5697] [vdr-fe] wire_video_driver() for osdscaler failed [5697] [xine-vo ] wire_video_driver() FAILED (vo_driver != vos_driver) [5697] [vdr-fe] wire_video_driver() for osdreorder failed Segmentation fault I can't get a useful backtrace, because it's stripped.

TT S2 3200 and tuning timeout
by Davide Chiarini 27 Feb '11

27 Feb '11

Hi all I'm having some troubles with my two DVB-S2 "TechnoTrend TT-budget S2-3200" cards. At first I thought about driver issues but now I think the problem could lie within vdr. Up until a couple of weeks ago I was running vdr 1.7.12 on debian lenny with stock kernel 2.6.26, and everything worked fine. Then my provider changed the SR of the DVB-S2 channels from 27500 to 29900. I could still watch regular channels, but HD channels where garbled. So I updated the kernel with debian backports (2.6.32). Nothing changed. Then I updated the dvb drivers (latest checkout I tried is the one from 25/02). With this update, DVB-S2 channels work perfectly, however, when I try to tune to SD channels in vdr I get " frontend 1/0 timed out while tuning to channel...." errors. I tried watching those channels with kaffeine, and it works fine. Also, If I tune to a SD channel with szap prior to starting vdr, I get a FE_HAS_LOCK. If I then start vdr on that channel, all the channels from that transponder are visible. But If I try to change channel to anything not HD i get the timeout error. I tried all combination of drivers above with vdr 1.7.12 and vdr 1.7.16, the results are identical. any pointers? I'm running out of ideas... thanks davide

some records not shown in menu
by zupermen＠gmx.de 27 Feb '11

27 Feb '11

Hallo, there is a small bug in VDR 1.7.16 at the recording menu. In some situations VDR shows that a sub-folder (at recordings) holds 2 recordings. If you open the folder only 1 recording is shown. After deleting this record the other one is shown. To reproduce the behavior you can record the same show on e.g. ARD and ARD-HD or switch of an active timer and switch it on later. Cheers Marcus

VDR 1.7.16 FF card crashes
by - - 23 Feb '11

23 Feb '11

Hello! I upgraded my VDr system from 1.6.0 to 1.7.16. After upgrade, I found that my FF card (fujitsu-siemens dvb-c) crashes almost every time when I exit from a recording playback. It won't tune anymore. Usually OSD still works but sometimes it also crashes. Only way to recover is to restart VDR and reload kernel module. I'm using latest fw for ff card. Ps. For some reason sc plugin doesn't work either with ff card even I have forced to transfer mode from sc plugin menu and started it with -B switches. Maybe it is related to this crash?

Re: [vdr] AvetTV a761

To the original poster: I guess ????????? ?????? is not your real name. It would be nice if you would use at least a nickname. Try "v4l2-ctl -D -d /dev/video0" while vdr is not running. Does this work or does it crash also?
