Re: [vdr] Tuning failures for transponder-locked tuners (VDR 1.4.7)
by Richard F 29 Oct '08

Teemu, I had a similar problem with budget Freecom / WT-220U USB stick tuners. I usually had to swap multiplex/transponder to get them to re-tune reliably. I observed that if they lost tuning, vdr made them re-try (which I saw in the log) but eventually would bomb out if it couldn't tune, which is maybe what you're seeing? Originally I logged it as a DVB driver bug, but the maintainer said it was an application bug. I found the following, which requires you to patch/rebuild vdr from source. Basically it just adds a small delay to the tuning process, and it works 100% for me. I had to do this on 1.4.7 and carried it over in 1.6.0 also - so no, vanilla 1.6 won't help you. It would be good if something equivalent was in vanilla VDR but I suppose it slows some systems by a fraction of a second when tuning. Perhaps a "budget card" option? http://www.vdr-portal.de/board/thread.php?postid=639048 The actual patch is at http://tafe.unkelhaeusser.de/vdr/dvbdevice.c.patch HTH

Tuning failures for transponder-locked tuners (VDR 1.4.7)
by Teemu Suikki 29 Oct '08

29 Oct '08

I have a VDR box with three DVB-T tuners.. All cards are saa7146+tda10045 -based budget cards. I have forced the cards to specific transponders in channels.conf. Basicly VDR never has to switch transponders, all channels are always tuned. However, sometimes one of the cards looses sync and doesn't re-tune.. It's not always the same card, can be any of the three. The problem is that VDR doesn't recover from this. If there is a timed recording going on that "jammed" tuner, VDR keeps on restarting over and over again, which effectively ruins recordings on all other channels as well. VDR restarting doesn't solve the problem, the card still doesn't tune. I have tried killing VDR when the tuner is jammed, and then try tuning with tzap.. Tuning fails for the "already tuned" channel, but if I simply tune to another transponder and then back, it tunes fine. So apparently the problem is that VDR doesn't even try re-tuning because the tuners are "locked" to specific transponders in channels.conf.. I'm actually using VDR 1.4.7, I know it's old but otherwise it's working fine. Has there been any changes in this area in recent versions? So is it likely to fix my problem if I upgrade to latest developer version for example? -- Teemu Suikki http://www.z-power.fi/

What ever happened to...

I running vdr & streamdev for years now. First with 2* t\t 1500 ci (default dvb) and now with 2* tt 3200ci (multiproto). Only some judder and I think it?s a remux problem. For the Windows clients (my self and the children) you can use vdr zapper (choose TS transport in application settings) and for example media player classic or vlc. Personal like media player classic (older version) with powerdvd video decoder and for HDTV CoreAVC (is 42? screen and gives me a very good picture. Why windows? Laptop/desktop for playing games(windows), listen music, internet, and watching tv. So what is the problem? Regards Jean-Paul

Xine-lib 1.2 now includes the patches for Xine-Lib so that you connect to a VDR system which is using the vdr-xine plugin. > Goga > Regards, Niels Wagenaar

Problems building xine-lib on openSUSE 11.0 w/ gcc 4.3.1

Hi, this seems to be a famous one, possibly a GCC bug according to some fora.

What ever happened to...
by VDR User 27 Oct '08

27 Oct '08

The idea of adding the DVB support in form of plugins instead of including it in the core code? Before I left on vacation there was some talk about how this is a better solution these days but not sure if anything ever came out of that...? Thanks.

Hello, the S2API is included in kernel 2.6.28-rc1. Will the S2API patches be integrated in VDR 1.7.2? Thanks, Artem

VDR and multicast streaming
by Artem Makhutov 25 Oct '08

25 Oct '08

Hello, do you know an solution to make VDR (maybe with the use of the sreamdev-plugin) to stream using multicast? I have an IPTV Settop Box, which I would like to use for wathing TV, but it only works with IP-Multicast... Thanks, Artem

[PATCH] epg2timers TVTV access
by Manfred Schmidt-Voigt 24 Oct '08

24 Oct '08

Hi all, I don't know, how many are using this script but I still like it. But TVTV is not that reliable as in former times before the facelift of the site. Sometimes the server is not reachable, sometimes the content is not available or only for the next days. But if you can get the information it realy good. But in the last days I couldn't get my "Merkliste" from the TVTV Server. The reason seems to bee that they have changed again something in there webserver directory structure. I have now created a small patch (see attachement) to the epg2timer_1.5.2a which reflects theses changes. Maybe it could help out also other frustrated users. regards Manfred ... it's only VDR (But I like it) (Stones???) ... -- ------- Manfred Schmidt-Voigt ------- ----- www.mannitec.de ----- ------- mailto:manfred.schmidt-voigt@mannitec.de -------
