[OT] NVidia ION mini-ITX arriving

The ION-ITX-A has its own DC converter onboard, and is supplied with a 90W AC Adapter." Nice silent drop-in replacement for any mini-ITX / micro-ATX mobo. -- NH

It does the vdpau deinterlacing without problems and so far the video decoding has not exceeded 1% cpu load for ANY 1080p clip I've tried. This is the best VDR frontend/XBMC machine I've ever tried. I don't know why, but it works better than my Intel E7200/Nvidia 9400 uATX board. For those interested it uses 34W from 220V with the hdd still attached. I don't know if it's using any power though, since I've disabled SATA in the bios because I boot it off the network. Anyone who knows how to open this wonderful little thing? /Magnus H

Only 2 colors transparent OSD with xineliboutput on CLE266
by Nicolas Huillard 16 May '09

16 May '09

Hi, I'm having OSD problems when upgrading. The OSD is normally transparent, using all 4 or 5 colors, on EPIA ML6000 / CLE266 graphics. When upgrading kernel + xine + xorg + a few other things, all colors except yellow are displayed as black, leaving a yellow + black + transparent OSD... Everything else seems to be OK (except xvmc_bob_deinterlacing, which seems to be replaced by one_field). I can't find anything related to this in /var/lib/vdr/.xine/config_xineliboutput (but I'm not sure how this file is handled : when is it created, changed, updated with new versions, etc.) I use Debian sid + e-tobi packages. Working versions : libxine1 1.1.16.1-1 libxine1-xvdr 1.0.3-2 libxineliboutput-sxfe 1.0.3-2 vdr 1.6.0-8ctvdr1 vdr-plugin-skinsoppalusikka 1.6.2-1 vdr-plugin-xineliboutput 1.0.3-2 xserver-xorg 1:7.3+18 xserver-xorg-core 2:1.4.2-10 xserver-xorg-video-openchrome 1:0.2.902+svn579-4 Failing versions : libxine1 1.1.16.3-1+b2 libxine1-xvdr 1.0.4+cvs20090425.1834-2 libxineliboutput-sxfe 1.0.4+cvs20090425.1834-2 vdr 1.6.0-8ctvdr5 vdr-plugin-skinsoppalusikka 1.6.4-2 vdr-plugin-xineliboutput 1.0.4+cvs20090425.1834-2 xserver-xorg 1:7.4+1 xserver-xorg-core 2:1.6.1.901-2 xserver-xorg-video-openchrome 1:0.2.903+svn741-1+b1 -- NH

VFAT/Samba case-sensitive problem
by Fabian Wolter 16 May '09

16 May '09

Hi, I encountered a problem with playing back a particular recording on Windows over a samba share: ProSieben has a series which they call "Switch Reloaded", but today they decided to call it "Switch reloaded". (notice the small "r") As a result, VDR created a second folder with the same name, but different "R"/"r"s. W2K/XP/Vista are able to view both folders, but they have the same content (both show the content of the folder with the small "r" in the name). So, one folder content is not accessible. (BTW: Vista introduced a funny bug, it shows the folder with the small "r" twice in the tree, but both different folders in the flat view.) This happened with --vfat as command line parameter with VDR 1.7.2. Well, I don't really know if this is a VDR, Samba or Windows problem... Regards, Fabian P.S.: I set "case sensitive = yes" in smb.conf. Now Windows can access both folders in the flat file view on the right with the right content, but not in the folder tree on the left (folders have still the same content).

VDR shutdown problem(?)
by VDR User 16 May '09

16 May '09

What's the best way to shut down VDR without the process exiting prematurely? By that I mean before it has performed all of it's cleanup tasks (like saving setup.conf, channels.conf, etc). I was told that the method that comes with runvdr ("/usr/bin/killall -q -TERM") kills it instantly and it doesn't have time to do cleanup. Also, can an svdrp command be added to perform a VDR shutdown? I notice the svdrp command "QUIT" described as "Exit VDR" but after testing this command, nothing happened. Cheers, Derek

Hi all, after i updated Mplayer and FFMPEG i can't hear the audio of video files downloaded from YouTube using webvideo. I can see the video but the audio is not present. If i check the codecs i can see mplayer found them. Any of you had this kinda problem in past? Thanks, Diego Pierotto -- Member of the Italian VDR Wiki http://vdr.spaghettilinux.org/

ERROR (dvbdevice.c,762): Bad file descriptor

Hello, I upgraded VDR from 1.6.0 to 1.7.7 (including DVB drivers). The VDR is running and working correctly as I can say this after 30 minutes of testing. But I get this strange error message each second after startup of VDR: ERROR (dvbdevice.c,762): Bad file descriptor syslog output: May 5 20:02:08 lacus vdr: [21229] VDR version 1.7.7 started May 5 20:02:08 lacus vdr: [21229] codeset is 'UTF-8' - known May 5 20:02:08 lacus vdr: [21229] found 0 locales in ./locale May 5 20:02:08 lacus vdr: [21229] no locale for language code 'deu,ger' May 5 20:02:08 lacus vdr: [21229] no locale for language code 'slv,slo' May 5 20:02:08 lacus vdr: [21229] no locale for language code 'ita' May 5 20:02:08 lacus vdr: [21229] no locale for language code 'dut,nla,nld' May 5 20:02:08 lacus vdr: [21229] no locale for language code 'por' May 5 20:02:08 lacus vdr: [21229] no locale for language code 'fra,fre' May 5 20:02:08 lacus vdr: [21229] no locale for language code 'nor' May 5 20:02:08 lacus vdr: [21229] no locale for language code 'fin,suo' May 5 20:02:08 lacus vdr: [21229] no locale for language code 'pol' May 5 20:02:08 lacus vdr: [21229] no locale for language code 'esl,spa' May 5 20:02:08 lacus vdr: [21229] no locale for language code 'ell,gre' May 5 20:02:08 lacus vdr: [21229] no locale for language code 'sve,swe' May 5 20:02:08 lacus vdr: [21229] no locale for language code 'rom,rum' May 5 20:02:08 lacus vdr: [21229] no locale for language code 'hun' May 5 20:02:08 lacus vdr: [21229] no locale for language code 'cat,cln' May 5 20:02:08 lacus vdr: [21229] no locale for language code 'rus' May 5 20:02:08 lacus vdr: [21229] no locale for language code 'hrv' May 5 20:02:08 lacus vdr: [21229] no locale for language code 'est' May 5 20:02:08 lacus vdr: [21229] no locale for language code 'dan' May 5 20:02:08 lacus vdr: [21229] no locale for language code 'cze,ces' May 5 20:02:08 lacus vdr: [21229] no locale for language code 'tur' May 5 20:02:08 lacus vdr: [21229] no locale for language code 'ukr' May 5 20:02:08 lacus vdr: [21229] loading /video/setup.conf May 5 20:02:08 lacus vdr: [21229] loading /video/sources.conf May 5 20:02:08 lacus vdr: [21229] loading /video/diseqc.conf May 5 20:02:08 lacus vdr: [21229] loading /video/channels.conf May 5 20:02:08 lacus vdr: [21229] loading /video/svdrphosts.conf May 5 20:02:08 lacus vdr: [21229] loading /video/keymacros.conf May 5 20:02:08 lacus vdr: [21230] video directory scanner thread started (pid=21229, tid=21230) May 5 20:02:08 lacus vdr: [21231] video directory scanner thread started (pid=21229, tid=21231) May 5 20:02:08 lacus vdr: [21231] video directory scanner thread ended (pid=21229, tid=21231) May 5 20:02:08 lacus vdr: [21229] reading EPG data from /video/epg.data May 5 20:02:08 lacus vdr: [21230] video directory scanner thread ended (pid=21229, tid=21230) May 5 20:02:08 lacus vdr: [21229] probing /dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0 May 5 20:02:08 lacus vdr: [21229] device 1 provides DVB-S ("Conexant CX24123/CX24109") May 5 20:02:08 lacus vdr: [21233] tuner on device 1 thread started (pid=21229, tid=21233) May 5 20:02:08 lacus vdr: [21234] section handler thread started (pid=21229, tid=21234) May 5 20:02:08 lacus vdr: [21229] found 1 video device May 5 20:02:08 lacus vdr: [21229] setting primary device to 1 May 5 20:02:08 lacus vdr: [21229] device 1 has no MPEG decoder May 5 20:02:08 lacus vdr: [21229] assuming manual start of VDR May 5 20:02:08 lacus vdr: [21229] SVDRP listening on port 2001 May 5 20:02:08 lacus vdr: [21229] setting current skin to "sttng" May 5 20:02:08 lacus vdr: [21229] loading /video/themes/sttng-default.theme May 5 20:02:08 lacus vdr: [21235] KBD remote control thread started (pid=21229, tid=21235) May 5 20:02:08 lacus vdr: [21229] remote control KBD - learning keys May 5 20:02:08 lacus vdr: [21229] ERROR: no OSD provider available - using dummy OSD!

DVB-H
by Theunis Potgieter 15 May '09

Hi, is dvb-h a subset of dvb-t? our country decided to switch on dvb-t, we receive dvb-t and dvb-h with h.264. w_scan doesn't produce a channels.conf for what appears to be dvb-h Any hints?
