The subtitles were shown automatically and couldn't find any problems, but one. The stream has CA descriptor present and you'll have to patch the VDR with "vdr-1.7.15-disable_ca_updates.patch" in order to get rid of "Channel not available" messages. Test was made with the latest development version of the plugin, but there shouldn't be any significant modifications against the public release. BR, -- rofa

(ar_??) > - Is the rest of the menus english or translated ? Hi, The VDR menu in yavdr0.2 does not support Arabic i.e There is no Arabic option to set. Where is the Locale Option? All I did was editing the /etc/default/vdr and ADDING this line: VDR_CHARSET_OVERRIDE="ISO-8859-6" ,,, The "ISO-8859-6" is the Arabic ISO The result now Arabic lettrs per se are recognized(they were appearing squares before) but as I said they are set to be read from left to right and the letters are seperated from each other. I used XBMC LIve TV and the TV guide is displayed fine. So I think something has to be changed in VDR code perhaps. I hope Klaus help us in this issue. Regards Sami

patch for crypted teletext pids
by michael_kaplan＠inode.at 10 Sep '10

10 Sep '10

Hi! I have had a problem watching the teletext on the crypted channels "ORF1 HD" and "ORF2 HD" ... after doing some research on the web, i found out that these two channels not only crypt their audio and video streams, but also the teletext. (as far as I know, not even Sky/Premiere crypt their teletext) So I had a look into the vdr code, and found out, that in ci.c in the function AddChannels(), only video and audio pids are added to the cam device. I made a small patch (which is included in this mail), which also adds the teletext pid in case there was a tpid detected before, and now I can watch the teletext in the ORF HD channels. Other channels, which do only crypt audio+video, but not the teletext, should not be affected by this patch, because the CAM module should be intelligent enough to detect whether a ts packet is crypted or not (via the two scrambling control bits in the ts packet header) I wanted to ask, if it would be possible and reasonable to add this patch to the vanilla-vdr. Kind regards, Michael Kaplan

Arabic language EPG is inappropriately displayed
by semsem85 sami 09 Sep '10

09 Sep '10

Hi, I am using Yavdr 0.2 with VDR 1.7.15 and the EPG or EIT for arabic language is inappropriately displayed in VDR. Using the arabic ISO-8859-6 in etc/default/vdr now the letters are shown correctly but they appear disjointed and are read from from left to right[whereas normally Arabic is read from right to left and the letters should be connected to each other to give a word and these words give a sentence ]. Is there any way to make the EPG readable in Arabic? Thanks alot. Regards Sami

Last time I checked the mplayer it didn't support DVBsubs, but I had to hack the support by myself (google: mplayer-dvbsubs-svn-20091207.patch.gz).

vdr-iptv-plugin DVB subtitles problems
by Fake Name 08 Sep '10

Hi I cant' display DVB subtitles on VDR. I'm using: VDR 1.7.15 xine 0.9.3 source: iptv-plugin 0.4.2 (http://www.saunalahti.fi/rahrenbe/vdr/iptv/) (yaVDR 0.2) on Asrock ION 330 HT DVB Subutitles are enabled under System/Setup/DVB and Language chosen is Slovenski (Slovenian-SLV). The iptv plugin detects the subtitles pid in question (System/Plugins/iptv/Info but no matter what I do, the channel in question returns "No subtitles available" The plugin passes mpeg2/4 stream directly to VDR and it does it superbly (HDTV great, EPG great, Channel switching fast, Stable, Teletext...) My IPTV (T-2, Slovenia) provider uses udp multicast and I can watch all the programs in VLC, with subtitles, ttx... This is the m3u playlist for VLC: http://www.rula.net/t2/t2tv.m3u This is the line in VLC playlist for HBO: #EXTINF:0,8 - HBO udp://@239.1.1.151:5000 This is Codec Information from VLC: Stream 0 Type: Video Codec: MPEG-1/2 Video (mpgv) Resolution: 640x576 Frame rate: 50 --------------- Stream 1 Type: Audio Original ID: 802 Codec: MPEG Audio layer 1/2/3 (mpga) Language: slovenščina Channels: Stereo Sample rate: 48000 Hz Bitrate: 192 kb/s --------------- Stream 2 Type: Audio Original ID: 1204 Codec: A52 Audio (aka AC3) (a52 ) --------------- Stream 3 Type: Subtitle Original ID: 7302 Codec: DVB Subtitles (dvbs) Language: slovenščina Description: DVB subtitles Those are lines from channels.conf, I started experimenting with HBO and tried a lot of variations(realy alot :). I still think I'm messing something up wit the syntax. HBO;IPTV:110:S=0|P=0|F=UDP|U=239.1.1.151|A=5000:I:0:810=2:802=@4:7302:0:222:0:0:0 HBO2;IPTV:120:S=1|P=1|F=UDP|U=239.1.1.151|A=5000:I:0:810=2:802=@4:0;102=Slo:0:222:0:0:0 HBO3;IPTV:130:S=1|P=0|F=UDP|U=239.1.1.151|A=5000:I:0:810=2:802=@4:7302:0:222:0:0:0 HBO4;IPTV:140:S=0|P=1|F=UDP|U=239.1.1.151|A=5000:I:0:810=2:802=@4:7302:0:222:0:0:0 HBO5;IPTV:150:S=0|P=0|F=UDP|U=239.1.1.151|A=5000:I:0:810=2:802=@4:0:0:222:0:0:0 HBO6;IPTV:160:S=0|P=0|F=UDP|U=239.1.1.151|A=5000:I:0:810:802:0:0:1:0:0:0 HBO7;IPTV:170:S=1|P=1|F=UDP|U=239.1.1.151|A=5000:I:0:810:802:0:0:1:0:0:0 If I record the video with VDR and run dvbsnoop |grep 7302 (subtitles id) I get no results (dvbsnoop can't analyze live iptv streams).

But because this is the first time I ran dvbsnoop and even after reading dvbsnoops man pages, I'm not sure if I did everything right. I'm also not very good with mplayer, so i ran with -alang, maybe I'm doing something wrong? Another problem is, that if I mess with DVB update channels (update pid, pid and names, names only, transponder...) I sometimes lock the HBO channel (no a/v and OSD "Channel Locked). Also when checking dvbsnoop I noticed some lines with CA (i think it stands for Conditional Access) in them. But recently I can't reproduce that behaviour no matter what I do. But I'm paying for HBO and I can watch it in VLC and (most of the times) in VDR. Running iptv-plugin with "EXT" and using VLC in VDR does not work (A/V OK, but again no subtitles). Also it seems a bit "crashy", so I would rather get it working this way. So far I read the man pages for VDR, VDR wiki in english, some pages in german and IPTV plugin readme. I searched the net, vdr-portal.de and this mailig list for subtitles, untertitel, dvb subtitles problems, etc, but I could not find the answer. I posted this question on vdr-portal: http://www.vdr-portal.de/board/thread.php?threadid=99300 and spent some time in the vdr irc channel (thank you again nox), but no matter what I do, I can't get those pesky DVB subtitles to display. I tried hts tvheadend, mythtv and even media portal but they are all flawed in one way, or the other. But because VDR is in a league of its own, I'm bothering all of you. VDR has no problems with 1080i/p channels, fast channel switching and even I can't crash it. Also yaVDR 0.2 is realy practical. Because this is the first time I came into contact with DVB, IPTV, SID's, PID's, etc, I'm probably doing something wrong and any help is deply appreciated. Some more info: my setup.conf http://pastebin.com/7jMjB0pb one of my channels.conf: http://pastebin.com/yX4NwBvs Thanks for reading all of my problems, and I hope someone can help. Tvich

vdr conference streaming
by martinez＠embl.de 07 Sep '10

07 Sep '10

Hi there, I am a happy vdr user (vdr 1.7.15 with a DVB-S2 card) I also happen to be member of an organization that promotes Open Source (so we should set an example) and we want to stream a conference we are organizing. I thought perhaps setting up vdr with a webcam and perhaps vdr-xine or streamdev would do the job? The idea is that multiple clients across the country would be able to see more or less in real time what is going on. The video does not have to be HD or otherwise impresive (the audio should be clear) Is it possible to do this with vdr and could somebody give me a few pointers and/or a link to a howto? Many thanks A Martinez

Trouble with picture Lost lock/regained lock
by Scott Waye 06 Sep '10

06 Sep '10

I've recently started having problems with my picture (breaks up/stops altogether). In trying to diagnose the problem I see this from vdr (1.7.15) when starting vdr-sxfe (remote) from xineliboutput (cvs from 4/9/10): Sep 5 21:23:29 giradot vdr-sxfe[10886]: [10903] [demux_vdr] PMT changed, resetting demuxer Sep 5 21:23:29 giradot vdr: [10370] frontend 0/0 lost lock on channel 6, tp 110773 Sep 5 21:23:30 giradot vdr-sxfe[10886]: [10903] [demux_vdr] ts2es: no payload, size 184 Sep 5 21:23:30 giradot vdr: [10370] frontend 0/0 regained lock on channel 6, tp 110773 Sep 5 21:23:30 giradot vdr-sxfe[10886]: [10903] [demux_vdr] ts2es: transport error Sep 5 21:23:30 giradot vdr-sxfe[10886]: [10903] [demux_vdr] ts2es: transport error Sep 5 21:23:30 giradot vdr-sxfe[10886]: [10903] [demux_vdr] ts2es: no payload, size 120 Sep 5 21:23:31 giradot vdr-sxfe[10886]: [10903] [demux_vdr] ts2es: no payload, size 131 Sep 5 21:23:31 giradot vdr-sxfe[10886]: [10903] [demux_vdr] ts2es: transport error Sep 5 21:23:31 giradot vdr-sxfe[10886]: [10903] [demux_vdr] ts2es: no payload, size 68 Sep 5 21:23:31 giradot vdr-sxfe[10886]: [10903] [demux_vdr] ts2es: transport error Sep 5 21:23:31 giradot vdr-sxfe[10886]: [10903] [demux_vdr] ts2es: transport error Sep 5 21:23:31 giradot vdr-sxfe[10886]: [10903] [demux_vdr] ts2es: no payload, size 37 Sep 5 21:23:31 giradot vdr-sxfe[10886]: [10903] [demux_vdr] ts2es: no payload, size 40 Sep 5 21:23:31 giradot vdr-sxfe[10886]: [10903] [demux_vdr] ts2es: no payload, size 184 In particular the "lost lock"/"regained lock" looks strange. Searching through the archives suggests this could be due to a weak signal. I ran femon and got this: FE: Conexant CX24116/CX24118 (DVBS) status SCVYL | signal d840 | snr d800 | ber 00000000 | unc 00000000 | FE_HAS_LOCK status SCVYL | signal d8c0 | snr d999 | ber 00000000 | unc 00000000 | FE_HAS_LOCK status SCVYL | signal d840 | snr d666 | ber 00000000 | unc 00000000 | FE_HAS_LOCK status SCVYL | signal d840 | snr d999 | ber 00003e71 | unc 000000a6 | FE_HAS_LOCK status SCVYL | signal d840 | snr d999 | ber 00003e71 | unc 000000a6 | FE_HAS_LOCK status SCVYL | signal d8c0 | snr db33 | ber 00003e71 | unc 000000a6 | FE_HAS_LOCK status SCVYL | signal d8c0 | snr d800 | ber 00000081 | unc 00000000 | FE_HAS_LOCK status SCVYL | signal d840 | snr db33 | ber 00000000 | unc 00000000 | FE_HAS_LOCK Which looks ok, the snr value seems high enough, so any other reason why the lock would be lost. I also see this in my dmesg which looks odd: DVB: adapter 0 frontend 0 frequency 89399000 out of range (950000..2150000) DVB: adapter 0 frontend 0 frequency 89399000 out of range (950000..2150000) DVB: adapter 0 frontend 0 frequency 89399000 out of range (950000..2150000) DVB: adapter 0 frontend 0 frequency 89399000 out of range (950000..2150000) -- Scott
