Adding decoding of content descriptor would be nice. It would allow recording of all soaps or football matches or whatever without close watching of EPG. patching of VDRADMIND might be needed. Cheers....

Hi, I'm sorry about this confusion, it was my fault. For future Versions I will rename the define or separate these extensions from Liemikuutio. Thanks to Jörg for sending me a fix, and sorry again Rolf, such was not my intention.

[Announce] remotetimers-0.1.1
by Frank Schmirler 23 Feb '09

23 Feb '09

Hi, I uploaded a new remotetimers release to http://vdr.schmirler.de which brings mostly bugfixes for the previous release 0.1.0. The remotetimers-plugin is a perfect add-on for streamdev-clients to add/edit/delete timers on the server VDR. Additional features: - multiuser support by assigning user IDs - modify name, priority and lifetime of recordings - serverside cutting of recordings - VDR patch for serverside instant recordings (REC / Pause keys) - progress bars for EPG menu - possibility to swap key bindings of "Ok" / "Blue" in the "What's on" menus - refresh recordings list after mount/unmount of video directory and even if server directory is mounted as a subdirectory of the local video directory Changelog of 0.1.1 - New setup option for swapping the key bindings of "Ok" and "Blue" in the "What's on now/next" menus (suggested by HolgerR@vdrportal) - Update recordings list after mount/unmount of video directory - Fixed remote cutting which didn't work if local video directory is equal to the server's video directory (reported by kris@vdrportal) - Fixed compile error in remote_instant_recordings-patch (reported by kris@vdrportal) - Fixed incompatibility with switchtimer-patch (reported by Andreas Schott) - Updated Italian translations (thanks to Diego Pierotto) Enjoy, Frank

cStatus::OsdClear
by Jörg Wendel 22 Feb '09

22 Feb '09

Hello, i using the status interface in a plugin. No I wonder why cStatus::OsdClear() and therefore also ::OsdItem() and ::OsdCurrentItem() is called every second, even if i don't touch any key. This behavior is not in all menus, most notably in the main menu. In other menus only ::OsdCurrentItem() is called if i scroll in the menu. My VDR version is 1.4.7, i can't say since which version it is like this, but I'm almost sure some versions ago it was different. Regards Jörg

Use FF Card only as output device
by Patrick Maier 21 Feb '09

21 Feb '09

Hi, my DVB-S FF card broke down those days. I think it's the tuner of the card, because it can't lock to a frequency: ----- Output of femon ----- using '/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0' FE: Philips TDA8083 DVB-S (SAT) status 01 | signal 6363 | snr 1919 | ber 080484c0 | unc bfc2d9f8 | ----- End of output ----- Additional I've a DVB-S budget card in the system. So is it possible to use the Tuner of the buget card and use the broken FF card only as display device and tell the system not to use the broken tuner? Thanks and greets Patrick

But this would not help you in case of the buffer overflow, since the pid remains but the connection to vdr gets broken.

Re: [vdr] vdr-sxfe from background script
by Stefan Ellenberger 21 Feb '09

21 Feb '09

I do have a similar solution to the one Ville used in KDE - set up a shell script - issue a killall -q -9 vdr-sxfe command first (if there is no vdr-sxfe task running this will be ignored) - call vdr-sxfe again Looks like this: #!/bin/sh /usr/bin/killall -q -9 vdr-sxfe /usr/bin/vdr-sxfe --fullscreen --post volnorm --reconnect xvdr://localhost I do have to use sigterm (-9) paramter, because I do get tcp buffer overflows quite often. So the connection to vdr gets lost but the task itself keeps running and can't be terminated cleanly by sighub or sth similar. In addition to ~/.config/autostart I do place a softlink to this script in K-Menu > Favorites and assign a HOTKEY. So if I press this hotkey on my wireless keyboard the script gets restarted. Maybe there is a way to get kde-lirc working with this script as well so you have it on your remote? Might be tricky when you already have a lirc session assigned to vdr. I'd be interested in a solution to that. I'm pretty sure you can assign hotkeys in gnome as well, might be worth trying. _________________________________________________________________ Die neue Generation der Windows Live Services - jetzt downloaden! http://download.live.com

It appears that the component output breakout cable still uses the tvencoder chip.. I was able to avoid tearing finally (!) by disabling the composite extension. Section "Extensions" Option "Composite" "Disable" EndSection I then got pixel perfect component pal output without overscan. But now i'm left with.. judder !!! Watching live sports i get judder, it almost looks like it's dropping every even or odd field.. It might be that it's just that field parity is not observed, but it's a bit hard to make out. Am beginning to think that nvidia hardware is useless for 50Hz pal output.. -- Torgeir Veimo torgeir(a)pobox.com

Running script
by JJussi 18 Feb '09

18 Feb '09

Hi! This is maybe "too simple" question.. I have remote, and one of it's button is connected (in lircd.conf) to word 'AppExit'. How I can connect shell script to that? What I want to do is run script what kills vdr-sxfe and start it again... I know how to connect vdr-pluging to it.. But script? NO! -- JJussi

But I am using vdr-1.7.0 and there is possible to watch HDTV channels (for example astra 23.5E Nova HD, Eurosport HD). One problem is random SIGSEGV on vdr with streamdev-server and sc plugin, but it can be solved with never-end while loop :) It happens while switching channels - clients are VLC or popcornhour. So bug is probably on the vdr side. Big problem is randoming popcornhour freezing while watching stream - it needs turn popcornhour off and on again. But I have solved long buffering times on popcornhour - i have created custom html page and in hyperlinks must be with VOD attribute: <A href="..." VOD>...</A> Regards Tomas -- Tomáš Skočdopole Manager IT Mobil: +420 606 554 676
