[ANNOUNCE] VDR developer version 2.1.7
by Klaus Schmidinger 18 Jan '15

18 Jan '15

VDR developer version 2.1.7 is now available at ftp://ftp.tvdr.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-2.1.7.tar.bz2 A 'diff' against the previous version is available at ftp://ftp.tvdr.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-2.1.6-2.1.7.diff MD5 checksums: 1c954bad31ce74cd1cbd7987e62d2a98 vdr-2.1.7.tar.bz2 88a90327a75833b7723942d3bd25f954 vdr-2.1.6-2.1.7.diff WARNING: ======== This is a *developer* version. Even though *I* use it in my productive environment, I strongly recommend that you only use it under controlled conditions and for testing and debugging. The changes since version 2.1.6: - No longer logging an error message in DirSizeMB() if the given directory doesn't exist. This avoids lots of log entries in case several VDRs use the same video directory and one of them has already physically removed a recording directory, while the others still have it in their list of deleted recordings. - Updated the Italian OSD texts (thanks to Diego Pierotto). - A cCamSlot that has WantsTsData set to true in its constructor now also gets the CAT and EMM PIDs data. - Fixed a possible division by zero in frame rate detection. - VDR now reads command line options from *.conf files in /etc/vdr/conf.d (thanks to Lars Hanisch). See vdr.1 and vdr.5 for details. - Fixed a possible crash in the LCARS skin (thanks to Thomas Reufer). - Updated the dvbhddevice plugin source. - Fixed a bug in the Makefile when installing plugins with LCLBLD=1 (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt). - The pid of the PMT in which the CA descriptors of a given channel are broadcast is now stored together with the CA descriptors and can be retrieved by calling GetPmtPid() (this information is only required to receive encrypted channels with the OctopusNet receiver via the 'satip' plugin). - Channels that are not listed in the SDT are now only marked as OBSOLETE if "Setup/DVB/Update channels" is set to a value other than "no" or "PIDs only". - Fixed multiple OBSOLETE marks in channels that are not listed in the SDT in case "Setup/Miscellaneous/Show channel names with source" is set to "yes". - The new function cOsd::DrawScaledBitmap() is now used for drawing subtitles. This function can be reimplemented by high level OSDs which may be able to do the scaling in hardware or otherwise more efficiently (thanks to Thomas Reufer). - Fixed detaching receivers from devices in case a CAM needs to receive the TS (reported by Dietmar Spingler). - Fixed resetting the receiver for EMM pids for CAMs that need to receive the TS (reported by Dietmar Spingler). - Fixed (well, actually worked around) a problem with subtitles not being displayed because the broadcaster doesn't set the data's version numbers as required by the DVB standard (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - Fixed support for systemd (thanks to Christopher Reimer). - Added a missing backslash to the help text of the SVDRP command MOVR (thanks to Lars Hanisch). - Added subsystem id support for DVB devices connected via USB (thanks to Jose Alberto Reguero). - Added the functions IndexOf(), InsertUnique(), AppendUnique() and RemoveElement() to the cVector class (thanks to Stefan Schallenberg). - Fixed a possible out-of-bounds access in cVector::Remove(). - Added functions to set and retrieve the priority of a cReceiver (suggested by Frank Schmirler). - Added the new parameters "Setup/Miscellaneous/Volume steps" and ".../Volume linearize" (thanks to Claus Muus). See the MANUAL for details. - Fixed jumping to an absolute position via the Red key in case replay was paused (reported by Dieter Ferdinand). - Changed the German weekday names from "MonDieMitDonFreSamSon" to "Mo.Di.Mi.Do.Fr.Sa.So." (thanks to Stefan Blochberger). - Now handling CAT sections that consist of more than one TS packet. - Added handling for DTS audio tracks to cPatPmtParser::ParsePmt() (thanks to Thomas Reufer). - Added support for PGS subtitles (thanks to Thomas Reufer). - Use of the function cOsd::GetBitmap() outside of derived classes is now deprecated, and it may be made 'protected' in a future version, since it doesn't work with TrueColor OSDs. Plugin authors may want to modify their code so that it works without this function. - Modified the descriptions of several threads, so that the important information (like device or frontend numbers) is within the first 15 characters of the string, because only these are displayed in thread listings. Plugin authors may want to do the same. - Added the channel name to log messages that reference a channel (suggested by Dietmar Spingler). - Modified the CAM API so that it is possible to implement CAMs that can be freely assigned to any devices (thanks to Jasmin Jessich). - Plugins can now implement the function SetMenuSortMode() in their skin objects derived from cSkinDisplayMenu, to get informed about the currently used sort mode, if applicable (suggested by Martin Schirrmacher). - Added cOsdProvider::OsdSizeChanged(), which plugins that implement an output device can call to signal a change in the OSD that requires a redraw of the currently displayed object (thanks to Thomas Reufer). - Added a comment to cRecorder::Activate() about the need to call Detach() in the destructor (suggested by Eike Sauer). - Now returning from removing deleted recordings after at most 10 seconds, or if the user presses a remote control key, to keep the system from getting unresponsive when removing a huge number of files (reported by Dieter Ferdinand). - Fixed generating the index file of an existing recording in case at the of a TS file there is less data in the buffer than needed by the frame detector. In such a case it was possible that frames were missed, and there was most likely a distortion when replaying that part of a recording. This is mostly a problem for recordings that consist of more than one *.ts file. Single file recordings could only lose some frames at their very end, which probably doesn't matter. At any rate, if you have generated an index file with VDR version 2.0.6, 2.1.5 or 2.1.6, you may want to do so again with this version to make sure the index is OK. - Added the new command line option --updindex, which can be used to update an incomplete index of a recording (based on a patch from Helmut Auer). Have fun! Klaus

Re: [vdr] Freesat patch
by Richard F 31 Dec '14

31 Dec '14

Klaus / Mario - thanks for the feedback / info about filters. I will probably stay with the filters in 2.0.6 for DVB-T and DVB-T2 as it gives me good functionality. The Freeview HD EPG is quick in this config - a few minutes to get the full EPG. A couple more questions... a) In later versions, the conditional if (Setup.SetSystemTime && Setup.TimeTransponder) was removed for the TDT PID filter. What was the reason for that? b) With more recent kernels (3.4 and 3.12, I think anything higher than 3.0) I'm seeing regular dmesg events like so usb 1-1.2: dtv_property_legacy_params_sync: doesn't know how to handle a DVBv3 call to delivery system 0 I'm not sure what causes this (no other errors), but it's related to the older DVB-T receivers. VDR is built with the same kernel/DVB as the machine it runs on. Is this just a driver issue, or is there a test VDR could/should do based on API to avoid making the unhandled DVBv3 call ? The receiver functions well for TV reception as far as I can tell, and though I can filter the messages going to syslog, all these dmesg events lose the bootup info.

still image with iptv without eating up all cpu
by Peter Münster 28 Dec '14

Hi, How can I display a still image with iptv + ffmpeg without eating up all CPU power? This my ffmpeg command, that uses 100% of CPU time: ffmpeg -analyzeduration 0 -loop 1 -i "${IMAGE}" -f mpegts -r 25 \ -vcodec mpeg2video -b 4000k -s 664x540 -an \ "udp://127.0.0.1:${PORT}?pkt_size=16356" TIA for any hints, -- Peter

Mandatory elements in channels.conf?
by Pasi Juppo 28 Dec '14

28 Dec '14

Can anyone tell me if there are mandatory elements (mandatory according to DVB standard) in channels.conf that needs to be provided by the broadcasting company? There are some issues currently with Digita (DVB-T/T2). They are not providing sufficient amount of information but cannot say for fact whether the information shall be provided or not. Digita is not currently interested in correcting these elements thus they have to be manually fixed. This means also that I cannot use automatic channel update at all (any elements). If there are mandatory elements is there other body in EU whom is certifying or something similar Digita and other broadcast companies - or is this just a wild west; follow standard if you like? TIA, Pasi

Freesat patch
by Richard F 27 Dec '14

27 Dec '14

The Freesat patch at http://www.vdr-wiki.de/wiki/index.php/Freesat-patch adds the following PID filters in eit.c - cEitFilter::cEitFilter Set(3842, 0x4E, 0xFE); // event info, actual(0x4E)/other(0x4F) TS, present/following Set(3842, 0x50, 0xF0); // event info, actual TS, schedule(0x50)/schedule for future days(0x5X) Set(3842, 0x60, 0xF0); // event info, other TS, schedule(0x60)/schedule for future days(0x6X) Which eats up hardware PID filters on my older USB DVB-T receivers (Freeview SD), and stops them working on most transponders. I removed them to test, because Klaus had removed these similar ones as long ago as 1.7.9 which was very helpful: Set(0x12, 0x50, 0xF0); // event info, actual TS, schedule(0x50)/schedule for future days(0x5X) Set(0x12, 0x60, 0xF0); // event info, other TS, schedule(0x60)/schedule for future days(0x6X) And I still receive the full 8 day EPG on Freeview, including HD channels, with just the PID filters defined in vanilla 2.0.6 - everything else appears OK, including DVB subtitles, audio description etc... Does anyone know if these extra PID's are definitely required? Maybe only for DVB-S/2 ? Thanks and merry Xmas Richard

IPTV Plugin - having trouble configuring
by Norm Dressler 23 Dec '14

23 Dec '14

Hi all, I've began playing with the IPTV plugin and just can't figure out some things. I have VDR configured with a headless server running streamdev. Works great with ATSC channels and the like. I've installed IPTV plugin and added a vlc2iptv channel to my channels.conf and added the URL into the appropriate file. The channel is Sky News. I run VDR as root on my headless box. I'm not getting any errors to indicate there is something wrong so I'm guessing its the 'can't run vlc as root' issue I'm encountering since the batch file vlc2iptv is launching it directly. How can I get this to work? Is there a better way to play streams then using vlc2iptv? Perhaps someone can sure their free TV iptv channels.conf that don't use vlc2iptv so I can at least see if it works with streamdev properly? The documentation on this plugin is sparse - not much available especially about the file format of the .conf file used by vlc2iptv, which I've had to guess at. Hoping to get more info! Thanks Norm Dressler

Raspberry Pi, Streamdev + rpihddevice
by Norm Dressler 21 Dec '14

21 Dec '14

Hi all, I just set up a couple of RPI's with the configuration of a Raspberry Pi, rpihddevice and streamdev-client. Works great but a couple of questions. When I'm watching TV with one of the RPI's and want to move to the other RPI, I cannot change the channel from what the first RPI was viewing. I am not sure how to tell streamdev to stop streaming so that I can watch TV on the other RPI? I hope I've been clear with that - it does sound a bit confusing. I know there is a mainmenu entry that says suspend server, but it didn't seem to do anything, unless its done in the background. In relation to this, the RPI doesn't have a power switch so shutting it down is a pain because when you do the halt -p it doesn't actually power off and in order to restart it you must cycle the power to the unit. I'm interested to know what others have been able to accomplish with this configuration to make it work better for them. I've added a number of plugins to improve the viewing pleasure and everything has been fast and clear. In regards to the rpihddevice I am seeing some tearing or 'flutter' when there is high motion with 1080 HD. Its not so bad that it isn't usable - it most certainly works 99% of the time just fine. The one feature I miss with the rpihddevice that softhddevice had was the automatic zoom - hoping that gets added to the wish list at some point. Thanks Norm

Trying to install ttextsubs plugin into vdr 2.0.0
by Jari Fredrisson 19 Dec '14

19 Dec '14

1. I downloaded the plugin using got clone. 2. I patched vdr, that went OK and compiled. But compiling the plugin does not go fine. 3. It complaints about #include <vdr/xxxx.h> directives. Fine: I created a symlink /usr/include/vdr pointing to my vdr src dir. 4. Then something that I could not figure out: # make g++ -g -O3 -Wall -Werror=overloaded-virtual -Wno-parentheses -fPIC -D_GNU_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_LARGEFILE64_SOURCE -c -DPLUGIN_NAME_I18N='"ttxtsubs"' -o ttxtsubsdisplayer.o ttxtsubsdisplayer.c ttxtsubsdisplayer.c: In member function ‘virtual void cTtxtSubsPlayer::PES_data(uchar*, int, bool, const tTeletextSubtitlePage*, int)’: ttxtsubsdisplayer.c:116:57: error: invalid use of incomplete type ‘struct tTeletextSubtitlePage’ ttxtsubsdisplayer.h:46:84: error: forward declaration of ‘struct tTeletextSubtitlePage’ ttxtsubsdisplayer.c:116:58: error: invalid use of incomplete type ‘const struct tTeletextSubtitlePage’ ttxtsubsdisplayer.h:46:84: error: forward declaration of ‘const struct tTeletextSubtitlePage’ ttxtsubsdisplayer.c:121:49: error: invalid use of incomplete type ‘struct tTeletextSubtitlePage’ ttxtsubsdisplayer.h:46:84: error: forward declaration of ‘struct tTeletextSubtitlePage’ ttxtsubsdisplayer.c:121:50: error: invalid use of incomplete type ‘const struct tTeletextSubtitlePage’ ttxtsubsdisplayer.h:46:84: error: forward declaration of ‘const struct tTeletextSubtitlePage’ ttxtsubsdisplayer.c:121:88: error: invalid use of incomplete type ‘struct tTeletextSubtitlePage’ ttxtsubsdisplayer.h:46:84: error: forward declaration of ‘struct tTeletextSubtitlePage’ ttxtsubsdisplayer.c:121:89: error: invalid use of incomplete type ‘const struct tTeletextSubtitlePage’ ttxtsubsdisplayer.h:46:84: error: forward declaration of ‘const struct tTeletextSubtitlePage’ ttxtsubsdisplayer.c:122:35: error: invalid use of incomplete type ‘struct tTeletextSubtitlePage’ ttxtsubsdisplayer.h:46:84: error: forward declaration of ‘struct tTeletextSubtitlePage’ ttxtsubsdisplayer.c:122:36: error: invalid use of incomplete type ‘const struct tTeletextSubtitlePage’ ttxtsubsdisplayer.h:46:84: error: forward declaration of ‘const struct tTeletextSubtitlePage’ ttxtsubsdisplayer.c:122:81: error: invalid use of incomplete type ‘struct tTeletextSubtitlePage’ ttxtsubsdisplayer.h:46:84: error: forward declaration of ‘struct tTeletextSubtitlePage’ ttxtsubsdisplayer.c:122:82: error: invalid use of incomplete type ‘const struct tTeletextSubtitlePage’ ttxtsubsdisplayer.h:46:84: error: forward declaration of ‘const struct tTeletextSubtitlePage’ Makefile:65: recipe for target 'ttxtsubsdisplayer.o' failed make: *** [ttxtsubsdisplayer.o] Error 1 Well. tTeletextSubtitlePage is defined in vdr/channels.h. That was not included the ttxtsubsdisplayer.h... I tried to add it into it, but does not work. Somehow the error is still the same. I tried and copied the struct definition alone from channels.h into that, and it worked a bit better, but I could not understand why! The the same class came haunting back in some other .c file compilation... Went back to the clean setup, nothing is edited now by me. Googled with the gcc error messages, and found talk about circular refences and includes. I don't know... What next? br. jarif
