EPGSearch time-based blacklisting
by Mike Lampard 30 May '08

30 May '08

Hi All, I have a channel with identical EPG info for the same program, regardless of episode. Often the program I want to record is repeated every six hours or so, but depending on the day it may be every 12 hours or more (its somewhat random) with a new episode sometime after midnight. Using EpgSearch, is there a way to force a single recording in a search within a specified period, without knowing the exact time that the 1st episode is recorded _successfully_? i.e: allowing a maximum number of successful (non-conflicting) timers/day per search? I know that I can set a timer to record from (say) 12am to 12pm, but it would be great if there is a way to guarantee a single recording regardless of whether other timers take precedence or EPG similarity, when multiple opportunities for a successful record exist in a day, without ending up with 2-4 copies of the same episode if no conflicts exist. Like a 'One-Shot' timer that resets itself at midnight (or other settable period) instead of deleting itself. Many thanks to Klaus for VDR and all those people who've taken the time to write and support plugins and patches, especially EPGSearch by Mike Constabel and GraphLCD by Andreas Regel, who succeeded in making me a TV junkie when so many others (including myself) have failed.... :) Regards Mike

CAM menu umlauts broken?
by Hanno Zulla 27 May '08

27 May '08

Hi, on my e-tobi based 1.6 setup, the CAM menu umlauts are broken, while all the other menu items (that I checked so far) use the correct encoding. Is there a recoding missing between the CAM and the vdr OSD? Thanks, Hanno

Re: [vdr] xmltv2vdr - where's the data?
by Geoff Horn 27 May '08

27 May '08

I've just had success in getting xmltv2vdr-1.0.7 to send program data to vdr-1.6. I generated my channels.conf using the Kaffeine satellite data file from JoshyFun. The command line was "scan -a 1 -o vdr -p -x 0 Kaffeine_Astra_2A_2B_2D-28.2e > channels.conf". Yesterday I had this line in my channels.conf: BSkyB - BBC 2 England:10773:h:S28.2E:22000:5100:5101,5102:5103:0:6302:0:0:0 Today after booting up I have this one instead: BBC 2 England;BSkyB:10773:hC56:S28.2E:22000:5100:5101=eng,5102=NAR:5103:0:6302:2:2045:0 Now all lines in my channels.conf are changed too. The result is that I can now update the epg with xmltv2vdr-1.0.7. My questions are "what has caused this change, and how can I force this to happen?" Perhaps this change isn't what made things work but I'd like to know for next time!

DVB-card or vdr stops receiving?
by Josce 27 May '08

27 May '08

I had a similar problem with vdr not responding after it had been "idle" for some time. Since I have the PC on all the time this was usually in the mornings. This happened very infrequently between 1 day and 60 days. Checked the log and every time the last vdr entry was something like "Starting EPG scan" so I changed "EPGScanTimeout = 0" and haven't had that problem since then.

vdr plugins with softdevice and xineliboutput
by Halim Sahin 27 May '08

27 May '08

Hi, I.am testing combinations of softdevices with some vdr plugins like mp3 cdda, and last.fm. Unfortunately some of these don't work as expected: Last.fm doesn't work stable with xineliboutput. It stopps every 20 sec the playback and takes about 1 or 2 sec to replay anything. I noticed one more problem in cdda plugin and xineliboutput. Xine skips the first 2/4 sec of the (first) replayed audiotrack. Selecting other tracks after playback start works. Mp3 plugin has some problems when I try to stop the playback. The first two problems are xineliboutput related. The third one can be reproduced with softdevice as well. Perhaps someone can help to fix one or more problems here???? With regards Halim

xmltv2vdr - where's the data?
by Geoff Horn 26 May '08

26 May '08

I've got xmltv2vdr 1.7 almost working on my Ubuntu Hardy box and it even seems to be transferring the data. The problem is that it never ends up in the epg. The file epg.data only ever contains the now/next data that it acquired from the tv transmissions. During the xmltv2vdr update I get lines like this: 110 event(s) sent for BBC FOUR But where did it go? Any hints gratefully accepted

DVB-card or vdr stops receiving?
by Markku Tavasti 26 May '08

26 May '08

I have newly istalled Ubuntu 8.04 with ubuntu packaged vdr 1.6.0. Output is with libxineoutput-plugin. System works fine, but after some time (many hours, don't know how many) system stops receiving. Setting 'Min. User inactivity' is set to zero, so system won't say anything about shutting down. It just stops receiving, and selcting channel doesn't show any program. If there is some timer for recording, on timer system does restart, and most likely reloads DVB card drivers, and everything works. Also doing restart from menu salvages system. System has two DVB cards, one for DVB-C (Terratec Cynergy 1200C) (not in use now, but used in final destination) and one DVB-T (Technisat SkyStar2) for testing in my place. Any idea what might be reason for this? How to solve problem? -- M. Tavasti / tavasti(a)tavastisolutions.com / +358-40-5078254

VDR-xine + ffmpeg? (h.264 problems)
by Jelle De Loecker 25 May '08

25 May '08

Hello everyone, I followed a german tutorial on how to install VDR with xine. It had some patches for better h.264 playback, but when I tune to BBC HD, it's still painfully slow, and the image is quite bad, too! I compiled xine with the ffmpeg option (external ffmpeg or something) but I never installed ffmpeg nor are there any instructions on how to do so. I mean, I could compile ffmpeg eventually, I just need to know if I need to apply any more patches or so ... I installed ffmpeg from the repository, but it doesn't seem to have any effect. Thank you for your time, Jelle De Loecker
