streamdev-client multiple servers
by Pjotr Kourzanov 15 Jan '08

15 Jan '08

Hi all, Having finally found some time for a major upgrade to my VDR setup I stumbled upon this issue, which has probably come up already, but googling and a search in an archive of this ML did not yield a quick solution... Is there a patch for allowing streamdev-client to connect (using VTP) to multiple streamdev-server's? Current code AFAIK only handles one IP for the VTP server. What I actually want is to have streamdev-client support for querying a list of servers (in some order) for a given channel, and then connecting to a suitable one if several were found. If not, would you guys say its feasible/desirable? Regards, Pjotr P.S. Yes, I know I could probably do it serially, but that is not an option from the scalability point of view due to latency for forwarding VTP streams... P.P.S. Cloning streamdev-client multiple times is also not that practical I guess... Can plugins be instantiated multiple times?

vdr with DVB-S2 patch and TT3200
by Christian Tramnitz 14 Jan '08

14 Jan '08

Hi all, first of all thanks a lot to Klaus Schmidinger for his great work but also to Manu Abraham, Marco Schlüßler and Reinhard Nissl for taking up the DVB-S2 challenge! I have a DVB-S based vdr running as server for recordings and streamdev-server for remote live-view. Now I was playing around with the latest multiproto drivers from Manu to tune some DVB-S2 channelson my TT3200. This is working with (Manu's) szap, but unfortunately not with vdr. I applied the latest version of Reinhards DVB-S2 + h264 patch, but I can't record or stream any DVB-S2 channels (no matter if they are h264 or mpeg2). h264 on DVB-S works fine (i.e. BBC HD) and I also haven't got any rejects from the patch or errors during compile. Here what happens if I tune to ProSieben HD: ProSieben HD;ProSiebenSat.1:12722:hC23M5S1Z35:S19.2E:22000:10255+255:0;259=deu:0:0:10200:1:1119:0 Jan 14 22:14:37 vdr dvb_frontend_ioctl: DVBFE_GET_INFO Jan 14 22:14:37 vdr dvb_frontend_ioctl: FESTATE_RETUNE: fepriv->state=2 Jan 14 22:14:37 vdr vdr: [11966] set DVB-S2 Jan 14 22:14:46 vdr vdr: [11966] frontend 2 timed out while tuning to channel 3142, tp 112722 Jan 14 22:14:46 vdr vdr: [11966] set DVB-S2 Jan 14 22:14:46 vdr dvb_frontend_ioctl: DVBFE_GET_INFO Jan 14 22:14:46 vdr dvb_frontend_ioctl: FESTATE_RETUNE: fepriv->state=2 Jan 14 22:14:52 vdr vdr: [11966] set DVB-S Jan 14 22:14:52 vdr dvb_frontend_ioctl: DVBFE_GET_INFO Jan 14 22:14:52 vdr dvb_frontend_ioctl: FESTATE_RETUNE: fepriv->state=2 Any ideas what could be wrong?

Plugin request: remote control
by Pasi Juppo 14 Jan '08

14 Jan '08

Hi, If someone has talent, will and free time then it would be really nice to have a plugin that could show remote control in graphical format (skins). From each used button there is a thin line and a label describing the meaning of the button. The plugin should be possible to call from VDR itself naturally but also from any plugin. Lines and labels are naturally updated according to the plugin. Hopefully someone else finds this kind of feature important i.e. I'm not the only one who don't remember the meaning of the buttons (mainly numbers) in different context (VDR's record editing, DVD plugin, mplayer plugin etc. etc.). Br, Pasi

Fwd: xineliboutput and WSS aspect ratio
by Raphael Coeffic 14 Jan '08

14 Jan '08

Hello Gentlemen, i sent sent following email Petri Hintukainen and then found this mailing list, which looks like it could be a better forum for my questions. Cheers, Raphael. ---------- Forwarded Message ---------- Subject: xineliboutput and WSS aspect ratio Date: Monday 14 January 2008 09:38 From: Raphael Coeffic <rco(a)iptel.org> To: Petri Hintukainen <phintuka(a)users.sourceforge.net> Hi Petri, i'm using at home VDR with your xineliboutput plugin for a few month, which is really a good software in my opinion. The TV card i'm using is a Hauppauge PVR 250 (analog with hardware encoder, no decoder). As the card is able to embed VBI data (Teletext, WSS, etc...), i am wondering if i could use that information to set the correct cropping / aspect ratio. The story begun as i noticed that the autocrop post plugin included with xineliboutput had a pretty hard time detecting letterbox 16:9 format on my host. During 16:9 broadcasts, it does most of the time just nothing. Then, maybe once every 10s, it would enable cropping during 1s and immediatly switch back to 4:3 format. That's why i thought, i could use the Wide Screen Signal (WSS) to detect 16:9 letterbox without using the autodetection feature included in the autocrop plugin (which would save some CPU time, and surely work better at my place). Concerning the VBI data, i will embed them into the MPEG TS, as specified by EN 301 775 (done in "pvrinput" VDR plugin). Then, i could decode those VBI data in xineliboutput. Now, this is where your help would be very usefull for me: i have no idea how to go further from there. Do you have some suggestions, how i could set the correct cropping parameters from within the xine frontend? Thanks Raphael. ------------------------------------------------------- -- Dipl. Inf.

error compiling vdr-xine
by serge pecher 14 Jan '08

14 Jan '08

Hello, I did install ffmpeg, xine-lib 1.2, and xine-ui to get vdr-xine working. After searching a bit I achieve to compile the 3 first one, but I have an error with make plugins. Input_vdr.h is missing. I can't find that file on my system. The make process tell me to patch xine-lib, but in the INSTALL file of the plugin it is written that you don't need to patch if using xine-lib 1.2 Any idea ? My system is a kubuntu 7;04 Thanks, serge

Multiproto problem tuning some channels
by Ales Jurik 13 Jan '08

13 Jan '08

Hi, there is very difficult (or practically impossible) to tune some stations with nominal values in channels.conf. But if increasing SR it is possible. It was reported by another user in cssf.cz forum, too. Example: No possible: City TV;Telenor:12169:hC78M2S0Z0:S1.0W:28000:512:640:0:0:1901:70:19:0 Possible: City TV;Telenor:12169:hC78M2S0Z0:S1.0W:28005:512:640:0:0:1901:70:19:0 In all reported cases it was used TT S2-3200.

Hy. Afther aplyng the patch from you stil cant compile i get the following error: menu.c:304: error: no matching function for call to 'cChannel::SetSatTransponderData(int, int&, char&, int&, fe_code_rate)' ../../..//include/vdr/channels.h:231: note: candidates are: bool cChannel::SetSatTransponderData(int, int, char, int, int, int, int, int) menu.c:316: error: no matching function for call to 'cChannel::SetSatTransponderData(int, int&, char&, int&, fe_code_rate)' ../../..//include/vdr/channels.h:231: note: candidates are: bool cChannel::SetSatTransponderData(int, int, char, int, int, int, int, int) I use vdr-1.5.12 patched with dvb-s2 suppor. It seams in vdr/channels.h at line 231 this function: bool SetSatTransponderData(int Source, int Frequency, char Polarization, int Srate, int CoderateH, int Modulation, int ModulationSystem, int RollOff); it is changed afther patch with function above and in menu.c at line 304 is expecting another function like this: SChannel->cChannel::SetSatTransponderData(RotorPos->R_Code(),Frequenz,Pol,Symbolrate,FEC_AUTO); so i modified this line in menu.c like this: SChannel->cChannel::SetSatTransponderData(RotorPos->R_Code(),Frequenz,Pol,Symbolrate,Symbolrate,Symbolrate,Symbolrate,Symbolrate); it compile but is not working because functios is not ok, i dont know any coding and i think is because of dvb-s2 api. Could somebody telme right functions. ____________________________________________________________________________________ Looking for last minute shopping deals? Find them fast with Yahoo!

[ANNOUNCE] VDR developer version 1.5.13
by Klaus Schmidinger 13 Jan '08

13 Jan '08

VDR developer version 1.5.13 is now available at ftp://ftp.cadsoft.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-1.5.13.tar.bz2 A 'diff' against the previous developer version is available at ftp://ftp.cadsoft.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-1.5.12-1.5.13.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 1.5.12: - Fixed the declaration of cSubtitleObject::Decode8BppCodeString() (thanks to Gregoire Favre). - The new setup option "Miscellaneous/Emergency exit" can be used to turn off the automatic restart of VDR in case a recording fails for some reason. - The kInfo key is now propagated to any open menu, so that it can react to it in a context sensitive manner (suggested by Andreas Brugger). If there is no menu open it will show the info of the current broadcast or replay. - cTimeMs now uses the monotonic clock, if available (thanks to Petri Hintukainen). - Fixed cVector::Clear() and cStringList::Clear(). - Added cString::Truncate(). - Fixed the "i18n:" target in the "newplugin" script, so that it can create the initial *.pot file. - Fixed handling the '-l' option. - Fixed error handling in cCuttingThread::Action() (thanks to Udo Richter). - Fixed a loss of the date display in the "classic" skin's main menu (reported by Andreas Brugger). - Added a missing setting of lastFreeMB in cMenuMain::Update() (reported by Andreas Brugger). - Added '-Wno-parentheses' to the compiler options in order to avoid silly compiler warnings for expessions like 'a || b && c', where GCC 4.3 wants to force the programmer to write 'a || (b && c)', while everybody knows that '&&' links stronger than '||' (reported by Tobias Grimm). - Updated the Hungarian language texts (thanks to István Füley). - Fixed displaying weekday names in the Schedule menu if the system uses UTF-8 (reported by Jiri Dobry). - The new plugin "pictures" implements a simple picture viewer. See PLUGINS/src/pictures/README for details. - The automatic shutdown is now suppressed if the remote control is currently disabled (suggested by Helmut Auer, implemented by Udo Richter). - Added a section about "Logging" to PLUGINS.html (suggested by Torsten Kunkel). - Enhanced the SVDRP command CLRE to allow clearing the EPG data of a particular channel (thanks to Benjamin Hess). *When reporting problems, please don't reply to this message!* Create a new thread instead, using a descriptive subject! Have fun! Klaus
