[ANNOUNCE] VDR developer version 1.5.12
by Klaus Schmidinger 18 Nov '07

18 Nov '07

VDR developer version 1.5.12 is now available at ftp://ftp.cadsoft.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-1.5.12.tar.bz2 A 'diff' against the previous developer version is available at ftp://ftp.cadsoft.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-1.5.11-1.5.12.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 1.5.11: - Fixed assembling PS1 packets in cTS2PES::instant_repack() (thanks to Reinhard Nissl). - Updated the Russian OSD texts (thanks to Oleg Roitburd). - Fixed handling small PES packets that caused subtitles to be displayed late in live mode (based on a patch from Reinhard Nissl). - Fixed stopping live subtitles when a player is attached to the device. - Fixed suddenly stopping subtitles in live mode. *When reporting problems, please don't reply to this message!* Create a new thread instead, using a descriptive subject! Have fun! Klaus

adding a budget card to my VDR
by aironet＠tigercomp.ro 16 Nov '07

16 Nov '07

Hello, I have a couple of questions about my future upgrading. My VDR is running fine with a single Nexus-S for a couple of years. Beside the VDR box I have another sat receiver, and I'm thinking about integrating it in my VDR box via a budget (skystar2?) card. My goal is: 1. - to have the advantage of 2 cards (concurent recording and live tv from different TP-s). Is it possible, for example to record a channel with the nexus and watch live tv with the budget on the nexus' tv output? 2. - to use my two motorized (Diseqc 1.2) dishes - is it possible to configure in diseqc.conf 2 independent dishes for the 2 cards? 3. - to avoid using X - I prefer a solid and stable system, no xinelib, softdevice, etc. (This is my biggest problem with the HDTV side of the VDR: I don't like software decoding. As FF-HDTV card will not exist in the near future, I'll continue to watch SDTV and that's fine for me at the moment.) I ask for suggestions to my future FF + budget system. Thanks, István -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Please try the attached patch on a vanilla VDR-1.5.11. It should write the subtitle TS and PES packets to separate files at /video. The additionally recorded timestamps of your system time and the primary device's STC should allow us to determine whether the packets arrive in time and get properly remuxed. Once you've seen enough anomalies, please provide us (a link to) the files. BTW: the patch is almost untested as there are currently no subtitles running. Bye. -- Dipl.-Inform.

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: 2007-11-11: Version 0.0.9 - added cHttpClient for handling HTTP requests; removing end of file detection in caller classes - improved cCallList parser to work around lines starting with '#' (as found in current Fritz!Box Labor Firmware version) - call list now works with Fritz!Box Beta-Firmware 29.04.44-9163 (reported by Ryker [20]) - this may fix problems with firmware CH/A FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN 7140 Version 39.04.43 too (reported by Joe [19]) - Fritz!Box phonebook supports new Fritz!Box Beta-Firmware 29.04.44-9163 (only one number per name is supported for now) - all communication to the Fritz!Box Webinterface is now protected with a mutex to avoid conflicts of concurrent request from different threads - retry delay on communication failures is now increased up to one hour to avoid flooding the syslog - added missing translation in i18n.c to support still-popular old versions of vdr (reported by Torsten [17]) - some firmware version do not sort the telephone book, the plugin now sorts the entries itself - removing '!' prefix when displaying Fritz!Box telephonebook VIP-entries (suggested by Oliver [18]) - supporting multiple phone numbers per entry in newest Fritz!Box firmware versions > added new column in phonebook view, marking (H)ome, (M)obile and (W)ork > on incoming calls this type is shown as well > this is ignored for older firmware versions - fixed a segfault when accessing the plugins main menu with no telephonebook selected (reported by Thomas [16]) - the call details menu now issues a reverse lookup if the name of the caller is not known yet - - - Regards, Joachim.

Hi, I've bought a tt s-2300 card. At the moment I have an NTSC monitor attached to the video composite output. There is a way to get dvb stream transcoded from PAL to NTSC and injected into the DVB card again? Regards Eddi

But after a while (5-10 minutes) > subtitles disappear. You'll have to provide some more information. Do you use subtitles with a FF card? Can you reproduce the issue in a recording? Did you apply all the posted fixes? Attached you'll find a single patch against vanilla VDR-1.5.11. It contains the remuxer fix and the ringbuffer extension, but also reverts some changes from 1.5.10 to 1.5.11 which should be addressed by the other two parts. I've just watched subtitles now for almost 2 hours on ZDF (ASTRA 19.2E) with vdr-xine without any issues. But vdr-xine works different (transfer mode) and may not see issues which happen with FF cards. Bye. -- Dipl.-Inform. (FH) Reinhard Nissl mailto:rnissl@gmx.de

Progressbar support in skins classic and st:tng
by Christian Wieninger 12 Nov '07

12 Nov '07

Hi, many skins (like text2skin, enigmang, soppalusikka, ... ) support displaying a graphical progressbar when a text like "[||| ]" appears in a menu item. Since runtime patching a font is not possible anymore I was wondering if also the skins classic and st:tng could support this. Here's a small patch (based on the sources of enigmang), that adds this functionality. Would be nice to have this in VDR core ;) Regards, Christian
