[Announce] vdr-fritzbox-0.0.12
by Joachim Wilke 03 Mar '08

03 Mar '08

Dear Fritz!Box- and VDR-Users, a new version of the Fritz!Box Plugin is available at http://joachim-wilke.de/index.htm?alias=vdr-fritz - - - The Fritz!Box Plugin connects to your Fritz!Box to inform you about incoming calls. The plugin can automatically mute or pause VDR when a call comes in. Via VDR's main menu you can browse your Fritz!Box phone book, the call lists and initiate calls out of all lists. - - - The last changes are: 2008-03-02: Version 0.0.12 - reading country- and regioncode from Fritz!Box already at startup to avoid lookup delays on incoming calls - modified cTcpClient and cHttpClient to call "recv" non-blocking. This fixes a possible segfault when stopping vdr (reported and fix tested by Frodo [23]) - fixed handling unknown messages in cFritzListener that caused an SIGABRT - fixed reading country- and regioncode from Fritz!Box - changed normalizing numbers ("+" -> "00") This should fix das-oertliche reverse lookup without further modifications. - added italian translation (provided by Diego [24]) - removed compatibility for old VDR versions (i18n-handling, UTF8-handling) This is in preparation for a stable plugin release 1.0.0 for VDR 1.6. Please report release-critical bugs as soon as possible. Further, translation contributions (.po-files) are appreciated. - - - Regards, Joachim.

VDR on OpenWRT / embedded system
by Artem Makhutov 03 Mar '08

03 Mar '08

Hi, has anybody thought of running VDR on OpenWRT? The Asus WL-500g Premium is an wlan access point with two USB 2.0 Ports. It has a 266 MHz Broadcom BCM94704 MIPS CPU and is running linux. http://wiki.openwrt.org/OpenWrtDocs/Hardware/Asus/WL500GP It is possible to connect a harddrive and some USB DVB-S cards via USB to the access point. So VDR has to be compiled for the MIPS architecture. The benefit of an access point is that it makes absolutly no noice, is quite inexpensive and takes less electricity. It would be great if the access point could record videos on its harddisk and share them over network via samba or stream it... Is this possible? Any ideas? Thanks, Artem -- Artem Makhutov Unterort Str. 36 D-65760 Eschborn

HDHomeRun need IPTV plugin?
by Timothy D. Lenz 02 Mar '08

02 Mar '08

Has anyone got the HDHomeRun to work with VDR? It's one of the dual ATSC tuners I'm looking into for adding ATSC to my system. I'm thinking maybe with the IPTV plugin it might work? Also wondering how good it's tuning is compaired to tuners using the LG DT3303 which seems to be the bench mark to aim for. The HDHomeRun has been shiped with 2 different tuners according to the admin at their forum: Rev 1.x uses the Oren CAS220 chipset. Rev 2.x uses the latest generation Micronas DRXJ chipset.

I built a VDR box a year ago; it worked; For some reasons, I changed the motherboard and software. Now dvbscan fails : I suspect the fact that the LNB is not powered. My configuration Fedora 8 x64_86 up to date Hauppauge Nexus dvb-s rev 2.3 There is signal, since the decoder works ok. dvbscan fails, kaffeine too. Thank you for your help

[ANNOUNCE] runvdr extreme 0.3
by Udo Richter 02 Mar '08

02 Mar '08

Hi list, I've updated the runvdr extreme script to version 0.3. The new version adds some distribution-like comfort to plugin management, by managing whole directories of configuration files. A new script, runvdr-conf.d, can be used to manage symbolic links in /etc/runvdr/conf.d/ for different plugins. This allows to manage plugins with enable and disable sub-commands of runvdr-conf.d. To bring this 'to the extreme', the script can make use of the osdserver plugin and allows interactive enabling/disabling of plugins in the VDR OSD. To round things up, the new version also supports the latest VDR command line options, and comes with a sample init.d script for Debian-like distributions. Get it at: http://www.udo-richter.de/vdr/scripts.en.html#runvdr-extreme http://www.udo-richter.de/vdr/scripts.html#runvdr-extreme Cheers, Udo

Or maybe to create a skin plugin that can displays the icons. Martin

vdr 1.5.16 - minor problem in font.c
by Tobi 01 Mar '08

01 Mar '08

Hello, DrawText() in font.c uses the method Glyph() which may return a null pointer, but doesn't check the returned pointer. I came across this bug, when checking a bug report from Sven Mueller: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=467512 When info.vdr contains an invalid character (like in the above example a 0xA0 - a Latin-1 NO-BREAK SPACE), Glyph() returns null, which then causes a segfault when dereferencing the null-pointer. The easiest way to fix this, would probably be to ignore such invalid characters, which is, what the attached two-line-patch will do. But maybe it's better to replace such characters with a default character - maybe a space or a '?'. bye, Tobias #! /bin/sh /usr/share/dpatch/dpatch-run ## 99_invalid-char-fix.dpatch by Tobias Grimm <tg(a)e-tobi.net> ## ## All lines beginning with `## DP:' are a description of the patch. ## DP: No description. @DPATCH@ diff -urNad vdr-1.5.16~/font.c vdr-1.5.16/font.c --- vdr-1.5.16~/font.c 2008-02-09 12:52:25.000000000 +0100 +++ vdr-1.5.16/font.c 2008-02-29 00:50:55.000000000 +0100 @@ -258,6 +258,8 @@ uint sym = Utf8CharGet(s, sl); s += sl; cGlyph *g = Glyph(sym, AntiAliased); + if (!g) + continue; int kerning = Kerning(g, prevSym); prevSym = sym; uchar *buffer = g->Bitmap();
