Re: [vdr] Commercial detection and automatic cutting

Hello, perhaps a bit off topic but did you have a look at using rpihddevice for your frontends? I am not aware about your usage ie. if you're using a lot of other media (non-vdr recordings) but if you're mostly watching VDR recordings perhaps changing the frontend might be a try. A link for having a look is: http://www.vdr-wiki.de/wiki/index.php/Raspberry_Pi There the rpihddevice is mentioned. You need to compile some sources. I am not aware about actual distributions perhaps handling this easier. But that's well documented and you may copy your SD card afterwards. This would be a good combination of having noad set your marks and then skipping them within the vdr clients. Having a sensor for your remote connected is also really simple. You may combine these frontends with the matching plugins being able to remotely set your timers from your frontends... have a nice day, Ingo Am 24.09.2014 20:30, schrieb Norm Dressler: > Noad looks to be working - BUT since I don't use VDR currently to play > back, the app doesn't recognize the cut marks. > > I've tried to configure remotetimer plugin but I keep getting errors > that remote timers and remote recordings aren't available.

Commercial detection and automatic cutting
by Norm Dressler 24 Sep '14

24 Sep '14

Are there any scripts out there to perform commercial detection and automatic cutting? I run VDR headless on a server, with 2 RPI devices as my frontends. All recording is done on the headless VDR. I use VDRADMINd to set my timers. I have a "Scanner' configured in my Plex Media Server to scan the recording directory of the VDR headless system and automatically add it to my Plex media server for later viewing by one of the many Plex viewers. With this in mind, are there any scripts or plugins that can automatically detect and cut out commercials? I know we can run a post-recording script which would likely be the best way? Thanks Norm

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 I think I will modify my shutdown script. I thought VDR could care of this. However such a daily wakeup only makes sense, when epgsearch's searchtimer is used. Without epgsearch such a wakeup is useless. How can I compare the wakeup times in a bash script? A "0" is given when no timer is present? - -- gpg-id: ccdbc2cf https://www.setho.org/people -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQI7BAEBCgAlBQJUGdaMHhxUaG9tYXMgTWFhw58gPG1hc2VAc2V0aG8ub3JnPgAK CRBfHs4XzNvCzxgzEACkEFNDAojUZ9G12blIEqyPi6wAErYqUd+WQkjwzprPMSRG z8cH9xtwrCI4h+neXJAYAdNcU0/AfgYghOV2rNVJfPNkZPXJ2JO7mmG/X/JUIohX iTnFxD9t65RN8YkpujDEAgudevamlMJGH58DwmKXHh0pG72wc+AjRIy1lJNIzWa8 xWKrB77SyUU9+qcn4BxKwvJyBxixl6PJpBVLumsSd0Qmm/qNGjzs1bom5tt0ladT SmfunlVcWp0xIULfVfDIko8+Kjeu8/rVvbmmRfKkbxB667vp/P6hcbwubn3GzqhJ RZssldLyRAFSvHKusWfqXJZKky5YbBWIy7e/noKSPoIq9h5B83ebJATACIlF1mTc DSNu2x15j0yLvIjVvzkPJmbZnRMNSEutifKbikYpMbS0rleBAoTaee5tntrdVWpe wYKEUnK/q5ll3lAq0DCQcZUh/V+8yHJsspewyMzgPuws/kM5p8ZDCs9gdrNIKI9s AvJyDtCbRGa2nMrvD07VoDrlAQEWrScUyuCpY0IAtu6wwdo7o6DlY/uDMt9kthql LTb0JO/iBuH2ORWDwiPjeU/xxjnxRI/ueiXCmG9l4Eg/p3ShTVHFs6t8KG/m5WQ0 rQJKGECnsiIRnOEeA6r4hwo63/6sHfLKQGGZhVME7EclvenhChyldYHQA1hqeg== =KQep -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

delete recordings instead of renaming to .del?
by cedric.dewijs＠telfort.nl 17 Sep '14

17 Sep '14

Hi All, After I have watched a show, I delete it within VDR. VDR immediately shows me there's now more free space on the disk. In reality, VDR has renamed the .rec directory to .del. Therefore the recording is not really gone, and still takes up space on my hard drive. After some time VDR removes all .del directories. Then the space is freed on the hard drive. Is it possible to let VDR immediately remove the recording from the hard drive? How does VDR decide it's time to remove all the .del directories? Kind regards, Cedric

Forced boot once a day
by Thomas Maaß 15 Sep '14

15 Sep '14

Hi! I use epgsearch's searchtimer to record my favorite series. But there could be a problem when using automatic shutdown and wakeup. When there is no event in the current epg, the searchtimer will not be updated any more. The shutdown script will get no wakeup time, because there is no timer. The VDR will do no wakeup, and no more searchtimer records will be done. Maybe an option could be added to VDR to force a boot once a day. When the next timer is later than a specific time, set the wakeup time to this time. So you could make sure, that VDR is booted once a day, and the searchtimer could be updated. No searchtimer recording would be lost. Thomas -- gpg-id: ccdbc2cf https://www.setho.org/people

Problem with subtitles: not showing in HD channels
by Pasi Juppo 27 Aug '14

27 Aug '14

Hi, VDR 2.06 (yavdr 0.50 distro) does not show subtitles in HD channels (Yle channels in Finland). In SD version of the same channels subtitles are working fine. TV shows subtitles fine. I've tried HD softdevice and normally using xineliboutput. Various different settings but none have had any effect in this. The card is TBS6285 and according to manufacturer's support this should not be a driver issue. Any ideas what could be the problem and more importantly how to solve this? Br, Pasi

cedarX on allwinnerA20, vdr-sxfe uses more CPU than mplayer
by cedric.dewijs＠telfort.nl 13 Aug '14

13 Aug '14

Hi All, I have an olimex AllwinnerA20 board. I have used the following guide to enable cedarx: https://www.olimex.com/forum/index.php?topic=3560.0 This works fine, I can now watch big bugs bunny and the sintel trailer in 1080p. Next, I have played the same mpeg2 SD recording by both mplayer and vdr-sxfe. vdr-sxfe uses a lot more CPU than mplayer. (about 70% vs 14% @600MHz) When I look at the messages by vdr-sxfe, it see vdr-sxfe does use vdpau: $ vdr-sxfe -f vdr-sxfe 1.0.90-cvs (build with xine-lib 1.2.1, using xine-lib 1.2.2) Fullscreen mode VDR server not given, searching ...

Debian, howto get the latest and greatest VDR (source) packages?
