Re: [vdr] Raspberry Pi, Streamdev + rpihddevice

Especially for devices like Raspberry Pi it would be very nice to have kind of a "standby" function in VDR, which detaches active receivers and call an appropriate function on the primary device to suspend and blank the output. Then resuming VDR would only take a fraction of a second... > In regards to the rpihddevice I am seeing some tearing or 'flutter' when > there is high motion with 1080 HD.

I'm afraid this might take a while, since accessing the decoded image is not that easy, however possible. But rpihddevice supports the ScaleVideo() method, so in principle it's possible to do it manually. Regards, Thomas

TBS6285 slow onscreen menu
by Milos Kapoun 25 Jun '14

25 Jun '14

Hi, I have problem witch TBS6285 card (http://www.buydvb.net/dvbt2-tv-tuner-pcie-c-12/tbs6285-dvbt2tc-quad-tv-tune…), it was difficult to get it work. TBS drivers replace all media tree in the kernel. After compilation I have problem with IR remote on the current Hauppage Nova–T card. I decided to use only drivers for new card with original kernel media build and it is impossible. Then I changed IR receivers and connect it to the TBS6285. TBS have different 3V IR receivers. And the end, VDR onscreen menu is unusable slow. 30s between key presses. CPE load is more than 2, replay is OK, less than 0.2. Menu parts, for example settings are good too. I think it caused by function witch reading information from card. Do you have any experience with this card or advice? Thank you Miloš TBS driver : v140425 VDR: vdr-2.1.1 Kernel : Linux VDR2 3.12.20 #7 SMP PREEMPT Thu May 29 20:18:02 CEST 2014 i686 GNU/Linux PS: Years ago I read in the mailing list, that VDR is not plug and play, it is learning how computer works. I can confirm it and adding: “VDR is my destiny or my curse” .

I have a double LNB. I have a stb without diseqc capabilities and I want to use it with the default diseqc port A, and I want to use vdr with the diseqc port B. It is that possible? Jose Alberto

Max days of EPG stored/shown in VDR
by René 21 Jun '14

21 Jun '14

Hi, Does VDR have some sort of limit on how many EPG-days are shown/stored VDR? I use xmltv to pull more complete epg-info, and i feed it to vdr with the xmltv2vdr-plugin. For some reason i get only epg shown up in vdr for the last 6,5 days, even if xmltv pulls more days like 14days or more.. :-( René

AllwinnerA20: vdr-sxfe dies after switching to radio station TV stations OK
by cedric.dewijs＠telfort.nl 17 Jun '14

17 Jun '14

Hi All, I have installed VDR 1.7.28 on my olimex allwinner A20 using the following procedure: https://wiki.debian.org/VDR This works great for TV channels, but when I switch to a radio channel, vdr-sxfe dies. When I restart vdr-sxfe, it dies again, but I hear about a tenth of a second of music. I also have installed vdr-live. I can use the web interface to change the channel to a TV station. Then I can start vdr-sxfe, and I can watch TV without problem. The messages from vdr-sxfe when it dies [24167] [input_vdr] wait_stream_sync: discard_index 522650152 != curpos 522642632 ! (diff 7520) received X error event: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes) X Error of failed request: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes) Major opcode of failed request: 132 (XVideo) Minor opcode of failed request: 17 () Serial number of failed request: 2124 Current serial number in output stream: 2124 Next attempt: received X error event: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes) X Error of failed request: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes) Major opcode of failed request: 132 (XVideo) Minor opcode of failed request: 17 () Serial number of failed request: 147 Current serial number in output stream: 147 olimex@a20-OLinuXino:~$ Kind regards, Cedric

SNR bar depends from UNC [vdr-2.1.6]
by Arthur Konovalov 15 Jun '14

15 Jun '14

I've noticed strange effect with the SNR bar. Every time when UNC counter increased SNR bar becomes more and more red. In the same time hex and percent values are fine. Combined screenshot from femon plugin: http://www.pictureshack.ru/images/95487_unc.jpg It's not plugin depended. The same behavior can be observed on standard VDR's channel LCARS skin info bar. Why UNC occurred, it's a different story. Currently I can't explain why viewing some (not all!) HD channels lead to the UNC (disturbance are visible too). Is it bitrate or something else, I don't know. It seems only 1080i suffer, not 720p and BER stays always on zero. If somebody have any method to debug and find reason of this, I will be thankful for sharing. My configuration: DD Cine S2 v6.5 (endriss media_buid), kernel 3.12.17, vdr-2.1.6, last softhddevice and GeForce GT520 HDMI for output. -- br, Arthur

vdr on allwinner A20
by cedric.dewijs＠telfort.nl 14 Jun '14

14 Jun '14

The video driver is a weak point. It's strong enough to play my SD content with VLC, but not when I enable deinterlacing or postprocessing. It's not at the top of my list to solve, because it's enough for the SD digitenne recordings I have. I think the drivers will improve in the future, so I just have to be patient. The CPU / USB / SATA is impressive, It's fast enough to record 7 SD streams from 2 different DVB-T receivers, and watch an 8th stream. But this will only work if the storage directory is on a SATA drive, the internal micro SD slot is extremely slow. An apt-get install cycle takes a very long time, even with a class 10 uSD card.
