CCID smart card interface support for sc?
by Mika Laitio 07 Oct '08

07 Oct '08

I was planning to use my digi tv viewing card with VDR by installing the sc-plugin. My understanding this is legal as I would still need to use my real viewing card. The card reader I have seems to support the CCID interface, therefore I found the tools needed for communication from http://pcsclite.alioth.debian.org/ccid.html I installed the pcscd daemon that in my understanding uses libusb for communincating with the smart card. After that the pcsc_scan was able to printout correct info from my card. I though that it would mean that I could connect the card to VDR by using the sc plugin, but I was wrong as sc plugin seems to only support smart cards that has serial port or serial port over usb support, like phoenix card readers. So I think there would be 3 options 1) Install newcs daemon (as it can read also CCID cards. I want however avoid this as there is no sources available for it. 2) Create virtual serial port driver over CCID library 3) Modify smartcard.c from sc plugin to support also the CCID cards. Has anybody worked with items 2 or 3 earlier? Mika

Freeview+ aka TV-Anytime Patch (updated)
by Dave P 07 Oct '08

07 Oct '08

A few months ago I posted a VDR patch to implement support for Freeview+, the cut-down version of TV-Anytime (ETSI TS 102 323) broadcast in the UK. I've prepared a new version against VDR 1.6.0-2, and included a simple Perl script which automatically creates timers for all of the programmes in a series. Run it overnight as a cron job and never miss your favourite series again! The patch is at http://www.pickles.me.uk/vdrtva-0.0.3.tar.gz -- Dave

How to use subtitle with VDR's reccordings ?
by Gregoire Favre 07 Oct '08

07 Oct '08

Hello, I have just reccorded the history of Mathematics on BBC Four which went very well :-) (If you missed it tonight, don't miss the following parts on next mondays...). Now I try to use it... I demuxed all using projectx, which gave me some files, namely : -rw-r--r-- 1 greg greg 107M 2008-10-06 23:19 PX-02.mp2 -rw-r--r-- 1 greg greg 7.9K 2008-10-06 23:19 PX_log.txt -rw-r--r-- 1 greg greg 1.4G 2008-10-06 23:19 PX.m2v -rw-r--r-- 1 greg greg 107M 2008-10-06 23:19 PX.mp2 -rw-r--r-- 1 greg greg 3.2M 2008-10-06 23:19 PX.sup -rw-r--r-- 1 greg greg 12K 2008-10-06 23:19 PX.sup.IFO Now, the little problem for me is how to use the "sup" files... the best I found is from http://www.mail-archive.com/linux-dvb@linuxtv.org/msg18211.html which seems to work using ifoedit under wine. Is there another way, to transcode those sup files to other formats easyer suitable for a linux environment ? I haden't reccorded anything with VDR for quiete a long time, I used vdrsync.pl and projectx in the past years, but maybe now there are other tools ? Thank for all info :-) A really happy VDR user tonight !!! -- Grégoire FAVRE http://gregoire.favre.googlepages.com http://www.gnupg.org http://picasaweb.google.com/Gregoire.Favre

Re: [vdr] [PATCH] S2API for vdr-1.7.1 vanilla and extensions patch 64 ( 071020008 )

I understand this completely. Even besides the fact that the card (still?) has locking problems with multiproto, I hope that the current drivers in multiproto and/or mantis will be be ported to S2API soon. I have high hopes that this will be the case in a short time. It's been two weeks after the S2API announcement and they announced that in 4 weeks after the announcement the TT-3200 should be included in S2API. So have hope! :) > So as long as these cards are not > supported, VDR will not go anywhere near S2API (and I certainly will > not support two DVB APIs in parallel). > The reason why I started (read: continued Igor's patch ;) with the S2API patch, is because S2API has been voted to be the next enhancement in the v4l drivers and I wanted to test S2API. Since I have a WinTV-NOVA-HD-S2, I didn't had much difficulty to test S2API in combination with VDR (since it's supported since the beginning, ghe). The plus of this all is, is that people can use VDR *now* with their S2API supported DVB-cards for DVB-T, DVB-S, DVB-S2 and possibly DVB-C. But other can use VDR as well, as soon when it becomes a part of v4l and/or part of the next kernel release :) Currently only Kaffeine (untested, but it should be working) and VDR 1.7.x have support for S2API. So VDR is atleast ahead of MythTV on this point (I haven't seen any S2API patches floating around for MythTV). And I'll be making patches for S2API-support, as long as long as you can't test/support it :) > Klaus > Regards, Niels Wagenaar

Also, QPSK/8PSK modulation with DVB-S2 should be fixed (no need for the NBC_QPSK hack). Since I'm at work, I'm not able to do anything (I can program but I cannot test). As soon as I'm home, I'll make the patch for 1.7.0 and make sure that everything works correctly with DVB-T, DVB-S and DVB-S2. > cu > > Edgar (gimli) Hucek Regards, Niels Wagenaar

mplayer plugin doesn work when vdr run from inittab
by Torgeir Veimo 06 Oct '08

06 Oct '08

The mplayer plugin doesn't work when I start vdr from inittab. It works ok if vdr is started from the console. I've seen hints that $USER and $HOME need to be set, but setting these in my startup script doesn't change anything.. Anyone got any idea what's missing? Also, it would be an idea to be able to get the log output from the mplayer plugin somehow. -- Torgeir Veimo torgeir(a)pobox.com

Black Screen with vdr 1.7.1
by Fabio Bordin 06 Oct '08

06 Oct '08

Hi, in these days I tried new version of vdr 1.7.1 with the lastest version of S2API. I have an ss2 and a HVR-4000 card in my system. I compiled and I installed correctly the lasted driver version (s2-mfe first, then i tried s2 tree) but when I start vdr 1.7.1, it remains in black screen even if I can see the osd. I applied every patch posted in this ml. I also tried vdr 1.7.0 patched and this version work. Why vdr 1.7.1 remain black while vdr 1.7.0 works? This is a summary of my system: Debian Etch Core 2 Duo E6750 Skystar 2 HVR-4000 vdr with softdevice and femon
