2 DVB-T cards == can't record
by Jan Exner 24 Oct '07

24 Oct '07

Hi all! I have a problem with my VDR setup (c't VDR 6): I currently use a DVB-S TT 2.3 card as output device (no dish/LNB attached) and a DVB-T Nova-T as input device for UK freeview channels. That works just fine. Now I want to add a second Nova-T so I can record and watch something else at the same time. But as soon as the second DVB-T card is inside the machine, I cannot record anything anymore. I think there's two problems: 1. I am trying to use the antenna out on one Nova-T to pass the signal through to the second. That does not seem to work and the second card does not find any signal when using channelscan. This is something I need to figure out myself. But 2. even if I am watching a channel and a timer starts on that very channel, VDR goes into the endless restart loop. I'm guessing it is trying to tune into the channel on the other card, but why? I guess the ultimate question is: once I've sorted the antenna out (I guess I'll buy a splitter or something), will it just work?

Hi! I have my vdr with DVB-C cards at livingroom and now I build other vdr (without cards) to bedroom and use NFS to connect to video directory. When I try to play recordings, everything except SOUND is fine.. I get following error: ffmpeg_audio_dec: increasing buffer to 98304 to avoid overflow. ffmpeg_audio_dec: trying to open null codec audio_decoder: no plugin available to handle 'MPEG layer 2/3' What libs (or something) I miss? -- JJussi

However when ffmpeg is compiled libpostproc is built and installed but no libpostproc.pc is made or installed anywhere. There are no errors during compilation or installation either and the other libraries in ffmpeg make the corresponding *.pc file. Help!

Reel Extension HD PCI
by Jeremy Jones 23 Oct '07

23 Oct '07

Does anyone have one of these cards ? The online shop says delivery time is 1-3 business days so it seems they are actually available for purchase now. I'm thinking about getting one of these but was hoping that someone could answer a few questions about these cards: - Can I use this card in my own vdr box (with code from the Reelbox vdr tree) or will it only work in a Reelbox ? - How mature is the software for these cards (stability/image quality/features) ? Thank You, Jeremy

Fast replay pauses playback for awhile
by Marko Myllymaa 23 Oct '07

23 Oct '07

Hi, I have problem that when I do fast forward or rewind and return to normal speed by releasing the FF button, vdr pauses the replay for awhile. This pause lasts from 2 seconds up to 15 seconds. It's very very annoying, especially when I'm trying to edit recordings. Jumping with green and yellow buttons work ok. I'm using vdr-1.4.7, xineliboutput-1.0.0rc2, osdteletext-0.5.1, epgsearch-0.9.21, remote-0.3.9 and subtitles-0.5.0. And I have one technotrend C 1500 DVB-C budget card. Any help is appreciated. Marko

frontend 0 timed out while tuning to channel
by Oliver Joa 21 Oct '07

21 Oct '07

Hi, I have a vdr with the plugins streamdev and xineliboutput running. I use the vdr-sxfe client on one computer to also get the menu and vlc as another client on a second computer. I have 2 DVB Cards, so I can see different things on the computers. Everything is working, but one Channel does not. I can see it with the vdr-sxfe client, but not with vlc. With vlc I get the following Error: Oct 10 22:58:09 video4 vdr: [4257] Streamdev: Accepted new client (HTTP) 192.168.10.3:42635 Oct 10 22:58:09 video4 vdr: [4331] streamdev-writer thread started (pid=3820, tid=4331) Oct 10 22:58:09 video4 vdr: [4332] streamdev-livestreaming thread started (pid=3820, tid=4332) Oct 10 22:58:09 video4 vdr: [4333] receiver on device 1 thread started (pid=3820, tid=4333) Oct 10 22:58:09 video4 vdr: [4334] TS buffer on device 1 thread started (pid=3820, tid=4334) Oct 10 22:58:18 video4 vdr: [4250] frontend 0 timed out while tuning to channel 15, tp 210949 If the vdr-sxfe Client is running I can not get this Channel with vlc, I get every other Channel, but not this. Strange!

Transcoding video on-the-fly ?
by jussi salmi 20 Oct '07

20 Oct '07

Hi gurus I'm newbie with VDR (version 1.5.10/1.5.10) and I have a few question about it. I need to record one channel 24/7/364 and I would like to record and transcode on-the-file videos using one-file-per-show basis. Because the channel is scrambled I need vdr to handle the CONAX in this case. So my idea is that writing a perl script, it would be able to 1. read the epg-data 2. make a recording list 3. start recording at the time show will start 4. hand over the video for transcoding by mencoder or ffmpeg (for exsample: vdr | ffmpeg -i - -b 500 -vcodec xvid MULHOLLAND_DRIVE.m4v) So, is't possible to use any transcoding program by vdr ? Please, any help would be higly appriciate -Jussi

VDR 1.5.10 and vdr-xine 0.7.12
by Tony Grant 20 Oct '07

20 Oct '07

Hi, I thought I would try this First a question asked on the Forum that did not get a reply: - PCM volume is being turned down to 0 which is very annoying Where do I change these settings? SetDigitalAudioDevice: 0 SetAudioChannelDevice: 0 The new versions of VDR and xine plugin: - xine CPU usage is up 10% from 35% to 45% on my Epia M10000. I am using xine-lib 1.1.8 and the CVS version of xine-ui (I could not log into CVS this morning to get xine-lib) - when it works it seem very fluid and zapping seems faster - any attempt at using the xine configuration dialog results in a lock up - vdradmin 3.6.0 am has problems staying connected to VDR This is what I saw in about 15 minutes of use. Cheers Tony --
