Subtitling descriptor in ts recordings
by Mikko Tuumanen 03 Aug '09

03 Aug '09

Hello. VLC 1.0 doesn't even try to show subtitles from ts recordings, because vdr sets subtitling type to zero in remux.c If you want to watch dvb-subtitled ts recordings with vlc, try this patch: http://users.utu.fi/mijutu/digitv/vdr/vdr-1.7.8-subtitling_descriptor_for_v…

Dolby Audio not used
by Falk Spitzberg 02 Aug '09

02 Aug '09

Hello, i am using VDR-1.7.0 with one TT FF Card, one TT-S2 3600 and a Reel eHD. The entire system runs fairly stable, with one little problem: Although i've selected "Use Dolby Digital", VDR does not automatically select the DD audio track on "Das Erste". On all other stations that transmit DD 2.0 permanently (ZDF, RTL, SAT1, PRO7) VDR automatically selects the DD audio, no matter if DD 2.0 or DD 5.1 is active. I can manually select DD audio and that works. When i switch to a different station and then back to "Das Erste" VDR falls back to the "stereo" audio. Any idea what i am missing? Thanks Falk

SKY and VDR
by Alex Fazzari 31 Jul '09

31 Jul '09

Hi everyone, I'm building a HTPC using xbmc and planning to use VDR to record and stream TV. I'd like to use VDR to record from SKY using an existing subscription. I'm based in NZ if that makes a difference. Is it possible to do this without encoding the source using an analogue encoder? What I'd like to do is get the stream straight to disk, preferably including HD streams. Can I do this using a DVB-S card and a dragon (or similar) cam with VDR? If not, can someone clarify what the sky-plugin does? I'm not sure if it works with a tv-card re-encodes the stream or if it just copies the stream directly to disk. Any thoughts on what hardware or software I'd need to make this happen (if it's even possible) would be much appreciated. Thanks, Alex

Hello Mika > > Closing of vdr-sxfe (by mouse clicking the close icon in dialog title bar) > has some problem.

"killall vdr-sxfe" without -9 will not work. > This is bugging me as well with the same software setup - if you "killall-it" *TWICE* you won't need SIGKILL to close the empty window. I changed my sxfe script to get along with this at the moment: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #!/bin/bash sxfe_start="/usr/bin/vdr-sxfe --hotkeys --daemon --silent --video=xv -- audio=alsa:hw:1,3 xvdr://localhost" if [ "$(pidof vdr-sxfe)" ]; then while [ "$(pidof vdr-sxfe)" ]; do killall -q -e vdr-sxfe sleep 1 done else $sxfe_start ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Usually the while loop runs twice and the sxfe window closes with SIGTERM. Greetings Mr. Tux

vdr-sxfe cvs version segfault with vdr 1.7.8
by Mika Laitio 25 Jul '09

I tried today use vdr-1.7.8 with the latest cvs version of xineliboutput but the client is segfaulting for me once it has found the vdr server. Is the same happening also for others or is there some known xineliboutput revision that works with 1.7.8? (mplayer + streamdev server seemed to work for me with 1.7.8) I pasted the gdb strace below: [lamikr@tinka vdr-1.7.8]$ gdb vdr-sxfe GNU gdb 6.8-6mdv2009.1 (Mandriva Linux release 2009.1) Copyright (C) 2008 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

femon - stream information
by Torgeir Veimo 24 Jul '09

24 Jul '09

Would it be hard to enhance the femon plugin to show some stream information, eg progressive v interlaced and stream resolution, eg 480p, 576p, 1080i etc? It already does some stream parsing as is, to determine mpeg2 vs h.264? -- -Tor

VDR corrupts terminal, if started in background
by Manuel Reimer 23 Jul '09

23 Jul '09

Hello, while installing my VDR, I noticed, that I always get a "staircase effect" on the terminal, supplied via "-t" switch, as soon as VDR is killed for the first time. I'm using "runvdr-extreme": http://www.udo-richter.de/vdr/scripts.html In runvdr-extreme, the VDR itself is started in background. This, in detail, causes the following (All line numbers for VDR 1.7.8): - As a background process doesn't have a STDIN, the line, which should store the terminal settings to "savedTm" (Line 171 in vdr.c), just does nothing, but sets "HasStdin" to "false". - If a terminal device is supplied using "-t" switch, then STDIN, STDOUT and STDERR are connected to it (Line 506 in vdr.c) and "HasStdin" is set to "true". - Before exit, VDR checks the state of the variable "HasStdin" and resets the terminal status to "savedTm" (Line 1314 in vdr.c), saved on start (which is undefined, now!) Suggested fix could be something like this (untested!): --- vdr.c.org 2009-07-23 15:50:42.217445637 +0200 +++ vdr.c 2009-07-23 15:50:44.545594171 +0200 @@ -503,12 +503,13 @@ int main(int argc, char *argv[]) } else if (Terminal) { // Claim new controlling terminal stdin = freopen(Terminal, "r", stdin); stdout = freopen(Terminal, "w", stdout); stderr = freopen(Terminal, "w", stderr); + tcgetattr(STDIN_FILENO, &savedTm); HasStdin = true; } A working workaround seems to be to execute VDR in the following way: vdr -t "$TERMINAL" < "$TERMINAL" & CU Manuel Reimer -- () ascii ribbon campaign - against html mail /\ - gegen HTML-Mail answers as html mail will be deleted automatically!
