How to identify timers
by Bernd Juraschek 23 Aug '07

23 Aug '07

Hello list, I want to do some kind of offline modifying vdr timers, but I don't know how to identify timers. If I use the timer id to change or delete VDR timers, then this will go wrong if VDR has deleted some timers since the remote site has retrieved the timer list. Using timer properties is not a solution because the user can change timers also locally using OSD. Is there another way to distinguish timers (or channels, recordings, ...)? I think it would be useful to assign some UUID to VDR objects. This ID must not be changed while modifying the object. Is there any chance to insert somewhat like this in future VDR versions - specially without breaking current plugins and applications using the SVDRP interface? Greetings, Bernd -- !!!

[PATCH] jumpplay patch for vdr-1.5.7
by Thomas Günther 23 Aug '07

23 Aug '07

Hi! The jumpplay patch for vdr-1.5.7 is available: http://toms-cafe.de/vdr/download/vdr-jumpplay-0.9-1.5.7.diff (also applicable to vdr-1.5.8) Translators! There are currently only English and German texts in the patch. Further language texts are welcome. This patch changes the replay behaviour for recordings that contain editing marks. It allows to immediately continue the replay after jumping forward to the next mark, and to automatically jump over the commercial break to the next "start" mark, if an "end" mark is reached. The features of this patch can be turned on or off in the replay setup. See README.jumpplay included in the patch for details, history and contributors. Tom

Anybody working on AVC (Automatic Volume Control)?
by Harald Milz 20 Aug '07

20 Aug '07

Hi, some commercial products (LCD TV sets, mostly) now start to offer a feature named AVC that is meant to prevent ad blocks from being significantly louder than the rest of the programme. While it's clear that this requires on-line detecting advertising (as opposed to off-line processing with noad), is anybody working on such a feature? The bad news is that there's no easy way of turning ad volume down when using AC3 or PCM over SPDIF by some way... softdevice could do something about it because it needs to demux the MPEG stream anyway. Any idea? (German readers: Sharp just announced a TV set with AVC for the Internationale Funkausstellung in Berlin - http://www.spiegel.de/netzwelt/tech/0,1518,498663,00.html) -- Time is nature's way of making sure that everything doesn't happen at once.

How to get dvb-type of a device
by Matthias Schwarzott 20 Aug '07

20 Aug '07

Hi there! getting some segfaults using newer reelchannelscan led me to some deeper look into the code. Reelchannelscan loops over all devices, and tries to check the dvb-type of each. If it can find the type it adds it to list of devices. device->ProvidesSource(cSource::stTerr) device->ProvidesSource(cSource::stCable) device->ProvidesSource(cSource::stSat) Now the check fails for me as I use DVB-s + sourcecaps patch, and sourcecaps interpretes cSource:stSat as S0.0E. Is there a better way to check dvb-type, or is it clearly a bug of sourcecaps. The crash itself is caused as reelchannelscan uses a cMenuEditStraItem to select from the 0 found devices. Should cMenuEditStraItem be patched to not segfault in these cases? Matthias -- Matthias Schwarzott (zzam)

How to "reset" filesystem cache
by JJussi 20 Aug '07

20 Aug '07

Hi! I have system where there is "epgsearch" rule what records ALL news from tv-channels. Then I have crontab entry what deletes all news files what are older than 5 hours. When I go into list of "recorded" programs I can still see those deleted files (but of course length of program is unknown).. To get "reset" filesystem cache, I need to go (f.ex.) Plugins - xineliboutput - Audio and press there "Enter". Is there a way to do that "reset" for filesystem cache easier? -- JJussi
