sound problem with recordings
by serge pecher 02 Sep '08

02 Sep '08

Hello, I have a strange problem with a specific recording I did record some time ago (end 2007). It seems that, after some time (5 to 10 min) I loose the sync between the video and the sound. After an other +/-1 minute the sound becomes choppy. I had a look on the cpu usage : +/- 25% or lower The recording is on a IDE HDD in the same machine. When I try a recording made a few days before or later, no problem at all. cpu usage is the same as above. I am running vdr 1.5.13 on a Xeon, 2.4 Ghz, kubuntu 8.04, with a FF card. It is possible that the recording was made with an other version of vdr, because I am changing from time to time. Live TV and every other recording I did try are working well. Any idea ? Thanks, Serge

It uses the same driverset as the HVR-4000 and it is also known as the HVR-4000 Lite. Unlike the HVR-4000, it only has DVB-S and DVB-S2 reception and it lacks the Analog and DVB-T input (which I don't need anyway since I allready had a working USB DVB-T adapter in Linux/VDR). I run this on a VDR 1.7.0 with h264 patch in combination with the Reel eHD plugins/patches. > regards > > Pierre Regards, Niels Wagenaar

Configuration for FullFeatured with defect tuner needed
by M.Fiegert 01 Sep '08

01 Sep '08

Hello, after about 7 years in use with vdr a thunderstorm killed the tuner of my FF :-(. There is one budget card in the system. With CAID parameter in channels conf set to two for all channels I managed to keep vdr operational. Question: If I now by a second budget card (slot available), is there any way that vdr would use those two budgets but not the tuner of the FF-card? Extra question: Does the reel eHD have an fbas output? I think of buying a reel eHD, but dont really have the time for such a big change, especially if that would also need new wiring. @Klaus: Thanks again for that great piece of software

Hi, I am using the iptv plugin to view NASA TV. I now have a good picture, but the audio is broken. All I get is a series of squeals and pops, nothing listenable. Anyone have any Ideas?

Guys, I don't like the way you do this. ;-( Why didn't you propose this API when we reviewed multiproto? Meanwhile there are applications (vdr, others?) which implement the multiproto API. As I am not willing to spend a single minute of my time with API wars, I will ack this API only if the multiproto developer and the users agree with this approach.

vdr-restarts after upgrade
by Oliver Joa 30 Aug '08

30 Aug '08

Hi, i recently upgraded my vdr to version 1.6.0. Now my vdr restarts every some minutes when recording: Aug 4 12:17:21 video1 vdr: [3688] frontend 1 timed out while tuning to channel 1, tp 111836 Aug 4 12:17:43 video1 vdr: [3694] ERROR: video data stream broken Sometimes it is working, and sometimes it restartes every minute. A friend of me had the same problem when recording ARD. He upgraded his kernel to 2.6.26 and now it works for him. I also tried 2.6.25.9 and 2.6.26.1, but it does not work. I don't think that it is a problem of temperature, because it also happens suddenly after cold startup. The system is running now for some years, with regular software-upgrades. I use Debian-Etch. Any Idea? Olli

You can either run xine from gdb or attach to an already-running process: Running xine from gdb: $ gdb xine (gdb) handle SIG32 noprint nostop (gdb) run Attaching to a running xine process: $ gdb xine `pidof xine`

[ANNOUNCE] vdr-sudoku-0.3.1
by Thomas Günther 30 Aug '08

30 Aug '08

Hi! There is a new version of the Sudoku plug-in. Download: http://toms-cafe.de/vdr/sudoku/vdr-sudoku-0.3.1.tgz Changes since version 0.3.0: - Corrected English language texts: Great font/digits -> Large font/digits (thanks to Ville Skyttä for reporting this). - Updated Finnish language texts (thanks to Ville Skyttä). - Updated Italian language texts (thanks to Diego Pierotto). This plug-in generates Number Place puzzles, so called Sudokus, and let you solve it. A Sudoku puzzle consists of 9 x 9 cells subdivided into 9 regions with 3 x 3 cells. The rules are simple. There have to be the numbers from 1 to 9 in every row, column and region. In the beginning some numbers are given. These cells are painted with cyan background color. The aim of the puzzle is to find the missing numbers. There is only one solution of a Sudoku puzzle. See the project's homepage for details: http://toms-cafe.de/vdr/sudoku/ Tom
