EPG information kpn digitenne vdr 1.7.8
by william＠cobradevil.org 24 Aug '09

24 Aug '09

Hello all I have a question about the epg information in vdr. digitenne does a good job with epg info. They deliver two weeks epg but i have one problem. They probably don't send genre information. I use xbmc svn tree pvr-testing. This is still work in progress but it works great. The pvr client does patch streamdev for stuff like teletext which works ok. The problem i have is when showing the epg guide which fetches the info from the epg.data file from vdr. The epg.data file contains the folowing: == E 70 1251180000 600 50 10 T NOS Journaal met gebarentolk S Serie. e == XBMC can show genre in colors and probably in the future you can select a specific genre but now the genre information is not available(probably not in the stream). So i thought using xmltv2vdr which can extend the already known data. The xml file i get contains the folowing == <programme start="20090823110500 +0200" stop="20090823120000 +0200" channel="25" > <title lang="nl">True life</title> <desc lang="nl">Reportageserie met opmerkelijke real-life verhalen over jonge mensen en de subculturen waartoe zij behoren.</desc> <category>Educational</category> </programme> == What for me is important is the peace category which contains the genre information. So i tried to import that data with the xmltv2vdr script which you can download from the vdr site. When i run the script with the modified channels.conf and the xml file it puts the new data in the epg data file but not the genre information. So i tried to do it manualy with telnet and added the genre info like this: telnet localhost 2001 PUTE C T-8720-2212-25 Animal Planet;Digitenne E 10140 1251016200 1800 0 T Wildlife SOS D Reportageserie Geen detailgegevens beschikbaar. G Sports (Genre) e c . = But i get an error 451 Error while processing EPG data Is there a possibility to add the G parameter or is it something else? I'm not a real programmer but i'm familiar with linux for about ten years so thats not a problem. Can someone shed some light? I'm out of ideas ;( Will try the latest version also tomorrow. With kind regards William

[ANNOUNCE] VDR developer version 1.7.9
by Klaus Schmidinger 23 Aug '09

23 Aug '09

VDR developer version 1.7.9 is now available at ftp://ftp.cadsoft.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-1.7.9.tar.bz2 A 'diff' against the previous version is available at ftp://ftp.cadsoft.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-1.7.8-1.7.9.diff WARNING: ======== This is a *developer* version. Even though *I* use it in my productive environment. I strongly recommend that you only use it under controlled conditions and for testing and debugging. The changes since version 1.7.8: - Fixed storing the current OSD size in case the device has changed it in its setup menu (reported by Reinhard Nissl). - Fixed cDevice::PlayTsVideo() and cDevice::PlayTsAudio() in case only part of the buffer has been accepted by the device (reported by Udo Richter). - Changed the EIT filter setup to save a few handles on devices that do hardware filtering. - Fixed deleting expired timers if they have the VPS flag set, but the event they are assigned to doesn't have a VPS tag. - Fixed handling file name length on VFAT systems in case they contain UTF-8 characters (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - Fixed generating CaPmts in case audio and video are encrypted using different ECM pids. - Updated vdr.1 to use the new file names in recording directories. - Fixed cRecordings::DelByName() to avoid compilation errors with gcc 4.4 (thanks to Matthias Schwarzott). - Increased the value of MAXFRAMESIZE to better suit HD recordings (thanks to Reinhard Nissl). - Implemented full handling of subtitling descriptors (thanks to Mikko Tuumanen). Have fun! Klaus

vdr-1.6.0 SVDRP EPG processing problems
by Simon Baxter 22 Aug '09

22 Aug '09

Hi I use xmltv2vdr to process .xml EPG listings and populate VDR. VDR seems to be processing the EPG (via SVDRP) into and across two channels. There's no error in the xmltv2vdr - seems to be a VDR problem. Example: here's a snippet from "./xmltv2vdr.pl -x listings-sky.xml -c test.channels.vibe -s >>output" C C-182-5-504 Vibe;T E 8270 1250904000 3000 0 T Smallville D Clark is amazed when a pesticide magnate somehow convinces Jonathan to sell the family farm to make way for a new plant. e E 8320 1250907000 2700 0 T Smallville D When Clark rescues his classmate from harm during an electrical storm, they are both struck by lightning - resulting in all of Clark's superpowers being transferred. Lex confronts Clark about his powers. e c C C-182-2-212 Prime TV;T E 8300 1250905800 1800 0 T Chequered Flag D Czech Moto GP Highlights - Moto GP returns after its summer break with the Czech GP at Brno and Valentino Rossi holding a slim lead over rivals Jorge Lorenzo and Casey Stoner. e ....but when I do a "LSTE at 1250905800" The "Chequered Flag" program is appearing in Prime and Vibe: 215-C C-182-5-504 Vibe 215-E 8300 1250905800 1800 0 FF 215-T Chequered Flag 215-D Czech Moto GP Highlights - Moto GP returns after its summer break with the Czech GP at Brno and Valentino Rossi holding a slim lead over rivals Jorge Lorenzo and Casey Stoner. 215-e 215-C C-182-10-1004 Prime TV 215-E 8300 1250905800 1800 0 FF 215-T Chequered Flag 215-D Czech Moto GP Highlights - Moto GP returns after its summer break with the Czech GP at Brno and Valentino Rossi holding a slim lead over rivals Jorge Lorenzo and Casey Stoner. 215-e 215-c Any ideas why this is happening??? -Simon

Weird problem with lirc and vdr-sxfe
by Kartsa 21 Aug '09

21 Aug '09

I have ubuntu installed and all vdr stuff comes from repo. It has worked well but suddenly the remote started to act weird. Most of the time all works well but sometimes it seems like vdr-sxfe or lirc starts to buffer keypresses so that first nothing happens when I push a button on the remote but on the next button push vdr reacts on the first push. So it is like one push behind. I can fix this by restarting lirc. Most of the times it will not come back on the same night but it may. I do not recall any installation at the time the problems started. I even tried to do all updates what ubuntu suggested but it had no impact. Has anyone had similar problems ever? What should I check first? Could not find anything on the logs. Could I use lirc with vdr (no lirc=/dev/null) instead of vdr-sxfe (without --lirc). I have tried but seems like I can not get vdr to respond to remote. Can it be done this way? BR \\Kartsa

vdr-text2skin: token {ChannelSource} and VDR segmentation fault.
by Александр 18 Aug '09

18 Aug '09

Thomas, i am not sure what this is a bug, but if to write in the section "channelInfo" (of *.skin) something like <text x1="100" x2="350" y1="-254" y2="-234" color="DB_DarkGreen" align="left" font="Sml">{ChannelSource}</text> and try to switch the channel using list separators (with keys left/right) then VDR crashes with "segmentation fault". At the same time if i change the channels from main list then token {ChannelSource} works, but displays the satellite name from sources.conf instead signal source "S36.0E" as it's written in the reference.txt. I think the point is that VDR can't simultaneously display token {ChannelSource} if using sheet list separators. I don't know what i need to write in this case (not...??? condition =...???). Casually remarked that if i write token {ChannelID} instead {ChannelSource} that everything is OK and I see "S36.0E-878-10100-7" (or "0-0-0-0" if i choose list separators).

HD output - your current favourites
by Gavin Hamill 18 Aug '09

18 Aug '09

My current vdr-1.4.7 (compiled 2 years ago as of tomorrow!) is still serving me well.. I have a Technotrend FF DVB-C doing all the heavy lifting, but as time moves on and HD content becomes more prevalent, I'm thinking of moving up. Right now I have an EPIA 800MHz quiet PC with the Technotrend giving me lovely SCART RGB out... if I got a nice LCD TV, what setup would be ideal for driving the HDMI input? Most of the content is still SD, and I am a real pedant about smooth video / interlaced output for scrolling text / live sports. Any time that I've played with vdr-xine or xineliboutput over my years with VDR, it's always been a bit juddery due to VGA timing not matching up with the TV.. is that improved any in the world of HD / HDMI? Just interested in hearing your thoughts, since I'm sure there are a dozen different ways to approach this! I can't possibly afford a reelbox at £1100, so if I'm going to do it, I'll have to roll my own :) Cheers, Gavin

No audio with recordings, XBMC frontend, LATM AAC
by Alex Fazzari 13 Aug '09

13 Aug '09

Hi, I'm setting up VDR using xbmc as a frontend as described here: http://xbmc.org/forum/showthread.php?t=45314&highlight=audio I've got live streaming working well but have an issue with recordings where no audio comes through. I am using mirak's VDR 1.7.7 from the repository here: https://launchpad.net/~mirak-mirak/+ppa-packages Could this have something to to do with the audio used for NZ tv which broadcasts in LATM encapsulated AAC? I'm not sure why the streamed live tv would work fine and the recordings don't though. Any pointers much appreciated. Thanks, Alex
