[ANNOUNCE] vdr-sudoku-0.2.1
by Thomas Günther 06 Apr '08

06 Apr '08

Hi! There is a new version of the Sudoku plug-in. Download: http://toms-cafe.de/vdr/sudoku/vdr-sudoku-0.2.1.tgz Changes since version 0.2.0: - Fixed crash after exit command (thanks to Ville Skyttä for reporting this). - Updated Finnish language texts (thanks to Ville Skyttä). - Updated Italian language texts (thanks to Diego Pierotto). - Set default values for "Show possible numbers as pattern/digits" to No, because of problems with DXR3 (thanks to Ville Skyttä for reporting this). This plugin 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

Problems playing ongoing recordings?
by Artur Skawina 03 Apr '08

03 Apr '08

Is anyone seeing some kind of problem when playing back files, but only when the recording has not yet finished? Possibly just when replaying a file that is currently being extended, maybe by another VDR and/or over NFS. [i had a problem like that many months ago, attempted to fix it, but it seems i was too successful ;) - the problem went away, but i didn't verify that the change actually helped. By now i don't remember exactly what the symptoms were, and what the vdr setup looked like at the time; hence i can't easily reproduce it. I'm planning on basing another feature on top of the fix and wondering how to handle that...] artur

DXR3 and subtitles in 1.5.x
by Sami Sundell 02 Apr '08

02 Apr '08

Hi, E-tobi's experimental VDR branch moved to 1.5.x series, so I did too, but I'm running into some problems. Specifically, this one: Mar 4 21:05:22 dvd vdr: [17719] dxr3: colormanager: bummer, too many sections (14), reusing last one I digged archives and found out the reason apparently is that DXR3 doesn't completely support 8-bit OSD but claims to do so. Result is OSD that's made illegible by tearing white lines etc. Ok, so the solution for OSD (and default themes?) seems to be to turn off the anti-aliasing, which then reduces number of colors enough to make it work. However, there's still the problem of (DVB) subtitles: similar tearing makes the subtitles unusable. On top of that, opening an OSD when there are subtitles seems to make VDR crash and burn. Has anyone had the same problem and possibly even come up with the solution? -- Sami Sundell sami.sundell(a)kotikone.fi

ac3 handling in cutted vdr recordings
by Halim Sahin 02 Apr '08

02 Apr '08

Hello, I have experienced a strange problem with vdr recordings after cutting them in vdr. My recording has e. G. two mpeg audio, 1 mpeg video and one ac3 audiotrack. Then I have tried to burn a dvd-video using replex |dvdauthor && growisofs Problem: The ac3 audiotrack was not recognized by replex at the first time. Adjusting the first cuttingmark changed this behaviour. The problem does not exist any more if the first cuttingmark in vdr was placed at another position (using 4/6 on my remote). My question: Whats wrong here? I don't want to use another utility to cut vdr recordings to get a valid file for replex!!! Thanks have a nice day. Halim

[ANNOUNCE] DVB-S2 + H.264 support for VDR-1.5.18
by Reinhard Nissl 01 Apr '08

01 Apr '08

Hi, attached you'll find updated patches for VDR-1.5.18. The patch named *-dvbs2-* additionally adds DVB-S2 support to VDR (based on VDR-1.5.14) and requires to use the DVB drivers from the multi-proto tree (see URL below for further details). The other patch is without DVB-S2 support and therefore most suitable for DVB-C users. VDR-1.5.14 reported changes to transponder data incorrectly. The attached dvbs2 patch contains a fix for this issue by introducing TransponderDataToString(). The patch includes now the formerly addon patch which fixed building after recent multiproto changes. Have a look at this page for more instructions on this concern: http://www.vdr-wiki.de/wiki/index.php/OpenSUSE_VDR_DVB-S2_-_xine Bye. -- Dipl.-Inform. (FH) Reinhard Nissl mailto:rnissl@gmx.de

Deinterlace / Motion Compensation
by Boguslaw Juza 31 Mar '08

31 Mar '08

Hi! I have a quesion to LCD TV owners. Most of the new LCD TVs have a "motion compensation" feature. Is it deinterlacing the picture? I'm going to buy Sony40", to connect to PC via DVI/HDMI with 720p or 1080p and run VDR with vdr-xine. Now Im using nvidia xxmc and the deinterlace is ugly. With LCD TV it'll be visible much more, so I need better deinterlacing - so I'm wondering if TV hw motion compensation will do it... Boguslaw Juza

HELP, no text in OSD anymore
by C.Scheeder 31 Mar '08

31 Mar '08

HI, i have a BIG Problem since this morning. ithought before i install vdr-1.6 it would be wise to update my debian-sid to the aktual packages. But thta was a BAD Idea, after it all texts in VDR's OSD vanished. the OSD is displayed correct, if you know what is in the higlighted line you can use the commands, but all texts are missing. No errormessages, no compiletime errors, nothing in syslog. NADA can anyone give me a hint where i should look for? tried the old 1.5.18 and 1.6.0, no matter which version, the symptoms are the same. the machine has a ff-card and a budget-card, TV connected to Videoout of ff-card.

silly question
by Tony Grant 31 Mar '08

This must be a FAQ but it is new for me: - how do I stop VDR adding channels to channels.conf? It started doing this when I installed 1.5.13 Cheers Tony --

Hmm, it seems that I've not understood something... I assumed that if I don't say anything about deinterlacing, then the (s-video) output would be interlaced. This apparently isn't true, they do something (strange) to the video, because putting deinterlacing on (bob-deinterlacing) produces quite nice results! (well, 40-50% CPU usage, and a little-bit of jerking, 1/s, but the ticker is very sharp now). But shouldn't the device be able to send completely non-deinterlaced stuff to the tv-out? Maybe the unichrome chip does something, but can that something be turned off? Anyway, thanks for the info, it led me to a bit more tolerable results :-) -- Best Regards, Timo ------------ timo.laitinen(a)utu.fi FABRICATI DIEM, PVNK.
