Has anyone tried one of these new cards with VDR? http://www.dvbshop.net/product_info.php/info/p149_SATELCO-EasyWatch-PCI-DVB… Or any other DVB-C card supporting CI/CAM and MPEG-4 ?

Hi I'm start to test my system - dvb-s2 card hvr4000 (with latest multiproto_plus + hvr4000 patch from Gregoire Favre) + VDR 1.7.0 + xine-plugin 0.8.2 + xine-lib-1.2 from HG + xine-ui from CVS + ffmpeg from SVN (I didn't test dvb-s2 yet, but it seems to me - the dvb-s works well) But if I disconnect from the card the antenna I will have this problem goga@goga:/usr/src/VDR$ ./vdr -c /etc/vdr -P "xine -r" ------------------------- MakePrimaryDevice: 1 ========================= SetVideoFormat: 0 SetVolumeDevice: 255 SetAudioChannelDevice: 0 SetDigitalAudioDevice: 0 SetAudioChannelDevice: 0 SetVolumeDevice: 255 SetPlayMode: 1 frame: (0, 0)-(-1, -1), zoom: (1.00, 1.00) vdr-xine: Client connecting ... vdr-xine: Client connected!

hi, i have a vdr system with the following layout: - asus p5b-e board (3 pci slots) - reel hd-e - 2 tt s2-3200 (dvb-s2) / astra 19.2 - cam module alphacrypt classic 3.14 - vdr 1.7.0 with extension patch 59 and h.264 patch - multiproto driver of today (46df93f7bcee tip) and i have the following issue: - i cannot tune to transponder 11953 (ZDF) on frontend 1, but works on frontend 2 - i (often) cannot tune to transponder 11836 (ARD) on frontend 1, but works on frontend 2 channels.conf lines: Das Erste;ARD:11836:hC34M2O0S0:S19.2E:27500:101:102=deu,103=2ch;106=dd:104:0:28106:1:1101:0 ZDF;ZDFvision:11953:hC34M2O0S0:S19.2E:27500:110:120=deu,121=2ch;125=dd:130:0:28006:1:1079:0 what i already did: - the problem occured a while ago after updating vdr to 1.5.13 or 1.5.14 (don't know this exactly) and updating multiproto to version 7208 - i updated the following components to the current available versions: - mainboard bios to 1802 - vdr to 1.7.0, including all plugins i use - multiproto to 46df93f7bcee - alphacrypt to 3.14 -> still didn't work - i switched the antenna cables -> problem persists - i switched the pci slots of the cards -> problem persists - i tested every card alone with both antenna connections -> each card worked fine - i disconnected the ci -> after that both cards worked seemless - i removed the smartcard -> problem persists - i removed the cam -> problem persists - i tested using one card and connected the ci to this card, removed the second card -> problem persists - i did the same the with the other card -> worked - i added the second card to the system -> problem persists results: - the problem only occurs on the two transponders - the two budget cards work fine - no hardware problem - the antenna cables work fine - has nothing to do with the pci slot i use since i swapped them around - the problem seems to occur in conjunction with the ci interface with or without cam so my question is: is there a known issue with the tt-s2-3200 and a ci interface which prevents the tuner to tune to specific transponders? any ideas out there? suggestions would be very appreciated. frank.

external EPG data & broken encoding (epg4vdr)
by Soeren Sonnenburg 27 Apr '08

27 Apr '08

Dear List, I am desperately trying to get the german umlauts going for both vdr receiving EPG information (out of the air directly from the channels...) and via epg4vdr 0.5 http://www.wontorra.net/article.php?story=20050429181815661 I've noticed that standard EPG has the correct encoding, but only the one from epg4vdr has not. However the pulled .xml files still have the right (i.e. utf-8) encoding. Only when this information is transferred to vdr (I guess via SVDRP) umlauts and everything is distorted. Also then the dumped epgdata file contains wrongly encoded parts... Any ideas what I could do about this? Soeren

I have a GIGABYTE GA-MA78GM-S2H with the AMD 780G chipset on it. The onboard graphics has a MPEG decoder on it. Am I able to use this as a output device in VDR ?

transponder hopping made easy?

Hello ARD swaps some transponders 2nd June. Eins Extra, Eins Festival, Eins Plus, Phoenix, Arte, Radio Bremen TV,BR-alpha Astra 1KR Transponder 51 (10.744 MHz, horizontal, Symbolrate 22.000 kBd) Radio Bremen TV,BR-alpha Astra 1H Transponder 101 resp.93 Bayerisches Fernsehen Transponder 71 MDR FERNSEHEN / NDR Fernsehen With VDR that seems to be a great pain, or? Sample: ARD is at say "Channel 5" and the new ARD Channels are detected at "1200" ff... (autodetection is a nice feature) VDR allows to mark "Channel 1200" and move it 1204 lines back wards via cursor. (Channel table does no "wrapp", there are 1700 channel entries totally so the other way arround would be "only" 500 lines)) OK, Channel lists can be sorted by transponder owners. That way old and new ARD channels are nearby. But in that mode "move" does not work anymore... OK, so lets moven 1204 lines so the new channel will become "Channel 6" Now simply "delete channel 5". Oops, does not work as there an active "timers" OK, lets go the timers. No way to sort them by Channels, and not really "attractive" to change every timer manually. I can't imagine that this is realy the "intended" way if a transponders swaps. Please tell me what i made wrong? Why is there no "exchange" or "direct renumber"? BTW: The new ARD channels will be on "lo"-Band AFAIK. A further reason to make the "single LNB patch" part of VDR... Other "Single Wire" Solutionmay have problems too.

vdr-mosaic seg faults on Gentoo
by Rob Davis 26 Apr '08

26 Apr '08

I decided to try vdr-mosiac from the vdr-testing portage overlay. It compiles fine but appears to segfault when run. I noticed that I have language files in french, spanish and german but not in english, which is what I run. Is this likely to be the reason? I am using vdr 1.6.0 on gentoo. -- Latest news on http://www.streetcredo.org.uk/rob Rob Davis

Controlling VDR with Asterisk PABX
by Mike Parker 25 Apr '08

25 Apr '08

I feed my VDR picture throughout the house via a modulator, but wanted to be able to alter the channels while in other rooms. The web interface (vdradmin) works well with a wireless tablet but it is not practical to carry around all the time. The solution was to use my PABX (Asterisk), which runs on the VDR server. Now I can pick up any phone and dial extension 837 (vdr). The PABX gives a beep and I then use the keys on the phone to navigate. By pressing 0 on the phone that takes me into number mode and after 2 seconds the system reverts back to navigation mode. If anyone else is using Asterisk, then this may be a handy dial string (which I wrote) to include in extensions_custom.conf. exten => 837,1,Answer() exten => 837,n(start),Read(APCODE,beep,1) exten => 837,n,GotoIf($[${APCODE} = 0]?vdr-numb,1:vdr-navi,1) exten => vdr-numb,1,Read(APCODE,number,1,,,2) exten => vdr-numb,n,GotoIf($[${APCODE} < 0]:?837,start) exten => vdr-numb,n,System(/usr/local/bin/svdrpsend.pl HITK "${APCODE}") exten => vdr-numb,n,Goto(vdr-numb,1) exten => vdr-navi,1,Set(APCODE=${IF($[${APCODE} = 1]?Green:${APCODE})}) exten => vdr-navi,n,Set(APCODE=${IF($[${APCODE} = 2]?Up:${APCODE})}) exten => vdr-navi,n,Set(APCODE=${IF($[${APCODE} = 3]?Yellow:${APCODE})}) exten => vdr-navi,n,Set(APCODE=${IF($[${APCODE} = 4]?Left:${APCODE})}) exten => vdr-navi,n,Set(APCODE=${IF($[${APCODE} = 5]?Ok:${APCODE})}) exten => vdr-navi,n,Set(APCODE=${IF($[${APCODE} = 6]?Right:${APCODE})}) exten => vdr-navi,n,Set(APCODE=${IF($[${APCODE} = 7]?Menu:${APCODE})}) exten => vdr-navi,n,Set(APCODE=${IF($[${APCODE} = 8]?Down:${APCODE})}) exten => vdr-navi,n,Set(APCODE=${IF($[${APCODE} = 9]?Back:${APCODE})}) exten => vdr-navi,n,System(/usr/local/bin/svdrpsend.pl HITK "${APCODE}") exten => vdr-navi,n,Goto(837,start) Now I can use my cordless phones (connected to a PAP2 box) to control the VDR completely. Hope that helps someone :-)
