vdr on PS3
by Clemens Kirchgatterer 20 Sep '08

20 Sep '08

i can see many of us are seeking for the right hardware for vdr, so i am. i want to start some discussion about the upcoming Sony PS3 as an vdr client on steroids. as it will support linux out of the box, it seams logical to, at least, think about it. i came to the following pro/contra list: pro: it supports HD (and Blue-Ray), is small and living room ready, comes with linux, has powerful CPU, you get a gameconsole for free ;-) contra: gets hot, likly DRM locked in some regards, it's a sony the last point may be even not so bad, as sony loses money on each selled device. so what do others think about this idea? anything i have not thought about that makes it even impossible to run vdr (or some other softdevice client) on the PS3? best regards ... clemens

Xineliboutput CVS and AVC (h264)
by Todd Luliak 20 Sep '08

20 Sep '08

I've got my box setup running Debian Etch 2.6.24-rc4, vdr 1.6.2 with Reinhard's patches, the latest xine-lib compiled with the latest external ffmpeg, and vdr-xine. With that configuration I can watch SD and HD in mpeg2 and mpeg4/h264 to 1080p resolutions. I installed the latest CVS of xineliboutput, installed and configured xcompmgr, and gave the gorgeous HUD OSD a spin. Very, very nice. I was, however, a bit disappointed to tune to an h264 channel only to see: "video_decoder: no plugin available to handle 'Advanced Video Coding (H264)'" Is this something I did wrong or is it just the state of affairs with the current xineliboutput? Does xineliboutput use the decoders and plugins as compiled from xine-lib and therefore use external ffmpeg if xine-lib was so configured? If so, what am I missing? Thanks! Todd

VDR not starting if a plugin fails to start?
by Petri Helin 19 Sep '08

19 Sep '08

Hi, I have been running VDR as a daemon started via init script for some years now. I am currently using version 1.6.0-2. The problem is, that every now and then VDR doesn't start when I boot the server. The culprit seems to be lcdproc plugins, which for some reason cannot always connect to the LCDd daemon. In VDR's log it shows up like this: OK: Sep 18 16:31:49 vdrkone2 vdr: [4890] starting plugin: lcdproc Sep 18 16:31:49 vdrkone2 vdr: connection to LCDd at localhost:13666 established. Sep 18 16:31:49 vdrkone2 vdr: LCD output thread started (pid=4890), display size: 2x16 NOT OK: Sep 18 19:05:45 vdrkone2 vdr: [4876] starting plugin: lcdproc Sep 18 19:05:45 vdrkone2 vdr: [4876] stopping plugin: femon Sep 18 19:05:45 vdrkone2 vdr: [4876] stopping plugin: burn Now, the question is, does this really cause VDR to shut down? And if so, should VDR behave in some other way in such a case? Or is it just lcdproc plugin that causes such a behaviour? Is it possible for VDR to retry starting plugin which failed to start? -Petri

Getting old dvb_ttpci running with new driver and VDR1.7.1
by Matthias Fechner 19 Sep '08

19 Sep '08

Hi Community, I tried these days to migrate to the new driver structure and VDR 1.7 (to later get the HVR4000 running). The driver I used is: http://liplianindvb.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/hgwebdir.cgi/liplianindvb/ To compile the driver I copied compiler.h from the kernel source to the driver and compiled it (I think was necessary to compile VDR against the driver). When compiling VDR I changed the path for the DVB driver to the dir where I compiled the new driver (in Make.config). But if I start VDR 1.7.1 I only get a black screen (OSD is working fine) and a message that it cannot tune to channel. Switch back to VDR 1.6 and the old driver solved the problem. Was anyone successfull to get that driver with VDR 1.7.1 with the old TT card (Rev 1.3) running?

You need this before you can compile VDR 1.7.0. And concerning the eHD/reelbox plugin. Best thing is, to setup the plugin through VDR (Menu -> Setup -> Plugins -> Reelbox). I do this to, and I never had any problems what so ever.

Since there's no S2API patch for VDR 1.7.x, you can still use multiproto with these versions. It works (I use a Hauppauge WinTV NOVA-HD-S2 myself using the liplianindvb repo) beautifully on my configuration. And I watch HDTV/DVB-S2 channels using the eHD without any problems. My current VDR uptime is now 13 days with this configuration. Before that it was 35 days, but I had to shutdown my HTPC so that I could move my audio/video furniture to a different location :/ > Josce Regards, Niels Wagenaar

reelbox plugin - help compiling
by Josce 19 Sep '08

19 Sep '08

I have now been working far too long on installing the eHD card. Without this: http://www.vdr-wiki.de/wiki/index.php/OpenSUSE_VDR_DVB-S2_-_Teil2.1:_eHD I would have given up long ago ... My system: Fedora 9 latest updates and kernel 2.6.26.3-29.fc9.i686 vdr 1.6.0 with the h.264 vdr-1.5.18-h264-syncearly-framespersec-audioindexer-fielddetection-speedup.diff Reelbox svn from today Everything up to now installed exactly like in the http link above. Now my last hurdle - I hope - is to get the reelbox plugin compiled. It now stops with this error: In file included from HdTrueColorOsd.c:34: fontsml-iso8859-15.c:1: error: 'tPixelData' in class 'cFont' does not name a type HdTrueColorOsd.c: In member function 'int Reel::HdTrueColorOsd::CacheFont(const cFont&)': HdTrueColorOsd.c:147: error: 'FontSml_iso8859_15' was not declared in this scope HdTrueColorOsd.c:182: error: 'NUMCHARS' is not a member of 'cFont' HdTrueColorOsd.c:208: error: 'tCharData' is not a member of 'cFont' HdTrueColorOsd.c:208: error: 'charData' was not declared in this scope HdTrueColorOsd.c:209: error: 'NUMCHARS' is not a member of 'cFont' What is wrong here?

Problem with v1.6.0 and two DBS-S cards
by Stefan-W. Hahn 17 Sep '08

17 Sep '08

Hello, yesterday I switched my VDR from v1.4.1 to v1.6.0 on a debian system. I'm running two DVB-S cards (Nexus FF and Nova). The update was without any problem. But today I found a problem: When recording on one program I can view at the same time just the channels of the same bouquet but no other ones (two cards!!). But recording simultaniously on two different bouquets works. With v1.4.1 there was no problem in recording one channel and switching to all other channels. I didn't find any hint on the mailinglist or vdr-portal about this problem. Is there any other having the same problem? Are there any hints how to solve this problem? Stefan -- Stefan-W.
