[ANNOUNCE] VDR-1.5.12: some "micro" speed improvements
by Reinhard Nissl 28 Dec '07

28 Dec '07

Hi, the attached patches speed up starting and stopping VDR on slow machines with huge channels.conf files, by avoiding some n / 2 * (n + 1) loops. Please test them and report bugs here. Bye. -- Dipl.-Inform. (FH) Reinhard Nissl mailto:rnissl@gmx.de

bad hardware combo EPIA SP1300 & TT-2300 FF?
by Simon Baxter 26 Dec '07

26 Dec '07

Hi I've been building a new fanless VDR box. Would like to provide some feedback, and perhaps attract some comments and suggestions :) Hardware: EPIA SP-1300 mounted in a low profile heatsink Serener GA-L01 case, 120G 2.5" laptop drive (plus NFS share to central VDR 'recorder'), 1G DDR400 RAM and a TT-2300-C FF card + CI/CAM Software: Fedora Core 8 (2.6.23.9-85.fc8), vdr-1.5.12, plugins:mplayer/mp3, remote, vdr-xine, dvd, epgsearch Comments: -Really quiet, which was the main purpose of this build. -would have liked to take advantage of the motherboard MPEG2/4 features but am still having problems with xvmc/xxmc with vdr-xine - keep getting kernel "vmalloc" ERRORS -no problems with vdr itself or the other plugins at this stage -Mplayer playing via "mpegpes" has to run with the "slow cpu" switch in mplayer.sh.conf - even then some 900x700 XVID .avi files need 85% cpu. So quality is not that flash -not sure if I can use motherboard MPEG4 acceleration with output on the TT-2300 FF composite video out to improve cpu/heat usage? -this combination of local VDR box in the lounge with remote 'recorder' isn't ideal - as all the timers are only available via the 'remote' menu Cheers - and hope everyone had a great xmas!

Conax CAM refuses to tune
by Jan Ekholm 25 Dec '07

25 Dec '07

Hi, After almost a year without TV (the old VDR box died completely and we didn't bother to rebuild it) it's time to watch some Christmas specials and I've tried to resurrect VDR. I have it all working ok for our FTA cable channels and VDR works as it should there. For the few subscription channels we have a Hauppauge CI and a Conax CAM and a normal "subscription card". This setup worked well for years before the crash to I assume it should work ok now too. During startup I see: CAM 4: module ready CAM 4: Conax 4.00e, 01, 0B00, 04B1 CAM 4: doesn't reply to QUERY - only a single channel can be decrypted Which looks ok to me. Then I also see a few of these pairs: CAM 4: module reset CAM 4: module present Looking into the Setup->CAM menu shows that "CAM 4" is present and is a Conax 4.00. Sometimes I can open the menu for the CAM but usually it fails. When it happens to open and I choose anything from the five entries there nothing ever happens, for some options I see some "Please wait" text and then after a while the menu is closed. So, something isn't right there. After fiddling with the CA descriptor in channels.conf (this isn't really that much documented) I manage to get this: CAM 4: unassigned skipped channels 15..19 The channels 15 to 19 are the encrypted channels. The initial channels.conf I got from "scan" had "1" for the CA field, but reading this: http://www.mail-archive.com/vdr%40linuxtv.org/msg01409.html I see the quote: "Please set the CA parameter of these channels to 0 (FTA) and tune to them again. VDR should automatically insert the correct CA values then." So I set them to "0" and restarted VDR. Now I see that VDR has changed the entries to: SVT1;SVT:146000:C0M128:C:6900:1019:1018;1017:1004:B00:1010:0:1:0 SVT2;SVT:146000:C0M128:C:6900:1029:1028;1027:1004:B00:5030:0:1:0 ie "B00". Could be ok as this seems to be the id of the CAM. Hardcoding "4" there has no effect, and "1" at least makes VDR take a bit longer to decide that "Channel not available". I am not trying to record multiple channels or do anything fancy, just get VDR limping along so that we can watch some live TV the next few days. The setup is: * 2 Hauppauge DVB-c FF cards * Hauppauge CI * Conax 4.x CAM * vdr-1.5.9 (unpatched) I'll do a test with 1.4.7 too, just to make sure. Hang on! Nah, same thing with 1.4.7. Any ideas what could cause this? Best regards and a Merry Christmas, Jan Ekholm -- "You can't trample infidels when you're a tortoise.

FF 2300-C card need audio via sound card

Hi. I'm trying to get VDR to send DVB-C audio via the sound card rather than via the FF (mono) port. I've tried: ./vdr -a 'a52dec' ./vdr -a 'a52dec -o oss' ./vdr -a 'a52dec -o ossdolby' but get nothing "a52dec -h" gives me: a52dec-0.7.4 - by Michel Lespinasse <walken(a)zoy.org> and Aaron Holtzman a52dec: invalid option -- h usage: a52dec [-o <mode>] [-s [<track>]] [-t <pid>] [-c] [-r] [-a] \ [-g <gain>] <file> -s use program stream demultiplexer, track 0-7 or 0x80-0x87 -t use transport stream demultiplexer, pid 0x10-0x1ffe -c use c implementation, disables all accelerations -r disable dynamic range compression -a disable level adjustment based on output mode -g add specified gain in decibels, -96.0 to +96.0 -o audio output mode oss ossdolby oss4 oss6 wav wavdolby aif aifdolby peak peakdolby null null4 null6 float And I can get mplayer to work with: mplayer -ao oss Any helpful hints??

Multiproto / VDR with S2 Patch and DVB-T
by Morfsta 22 Dec '07

22 Dec '07

Hi, I have been trying VDR with the multiproto DVB kernel source and the DVB-S2/H264 patch. Has anyone managed to get any DVB-T cards working with this? It doesn't show any output with my NOVA-T 500 and NOVA-T cards. I think it will be something quite simple, but can't find where the problem might be. Regards, Morfsta

mp3 plug-in (or other) play WMA?
by Simon Baxter 21 Dec '07

21 Dec '07

Hi I've been hunting through the archives, and can't see anything positive on this. Looks like libsndfile supports Windows Media format (not that I've tried). Has anyone got this format working under the mp3-plugin?
