I vote for a configurable solution. Softdevice has such a mode (not realized for all messages but ..) which allows some kind of messages to be turned off (info, debug and trace). Messages can be written to stdout/stderr or to a configureable file with optionally current PID appended. > > In my opinion, it is a benefit to redirect different log levels to > different files for normal operation.

EPG - info - length
by JJussi 12 Aug '07

12 Aug '07

Hi! Have anybody noticed, but atleast here in Finland, EPG information (the text what tells f.ex. what tells about movie) is so long that it's "cut short" from middle of world, most of time. Is because the string in VDR what holds that information is too short or...? -- JJussi

[ANNOUNCE] proxy-plugin 0.1.3
by Udo Richter 12 Aug '07

12 Aug '07

Hi list, For all the version junkies out there, here is proxy plugin version 0.1.3, with full support for VDR 1.5.7 and its new i18n system. Also fixed: Proxify the WakeupTime() call of VDR 1.5.1. This version is fully backwards compatible, though it requires gettext support to compile on all VDR versions. (duplicated i18n system, will be fixed in next version) Download: http://www.udo-richter.de/vdr/proxy.html http://www.udo-richter.de/vdr/proxy.en.html Cheers, Udo

[ANNOUNCE] vdr-actuator-1.0.5 plugin
by Luca Olivetti 12 Aug '07

12 Aug '07

Hello, I'm releasing version 1.0.5 of the "actuator" plugin available at http://www.ventoso.org/luca/vdr/ This plugin controls a linear actuator (or an horizon to horizon one) through the parallel port with a simple circuit. CHANGES: - Updated russian translation from Vladimir Monchenko <bob at globall ru> - Compatibility defines in module.c and remove patches I'm releasing it before the necessary conversion of the translations for vdr-1.5.7, so I think this is the last release supporting stable vdr (1.4.x). Bye -- Luca

[PATCH] Small change to correctly query the systems charset
by Matthias Schwarzott 12 Aug '07

12 Aug '07

Hi there! This patch just changes charset querying to not only look at environment variable LANG, but respect all in correct order. So now I can overwrite charset setting with LC_CTYPE and LC_ALL. Greetings Matthias -- Matthias Schwarzott (zzam)

FRQ: VDR core support for online help
by Christian Wieninger 12 Aug '07

12 Aug '07

Hi, today many TV equipment offers online help, even my remote does ;) VDR currently only gives help by manuals or WIKI, but this is far away every time you need it, i.e. if you whatch TV. So I was wondering if it would be interesting to add online help for VDR with the following requirements: - a dedicated key should give help in any situations (-> kHelp) - help may be available per OSD item, or - if not present - per OSD menu (e.g. some setup values could give an extra explanation) - help may be available for all player controls (e.g. I'll never keep in mind the keys for the dvd-plugin ;) ) - the implementation should also work for plugins What do you (especially Klaus) think about an online help? I've added a quick and dirty patch, that adds the basics for an online help. With the patch the implemenation of an online help works like this: To add help to an OSD item, simply replace for example Add(new cMenuEditItem(tr("an osd item"), &data.value)); with cOsdItem* item = new cMenuEditItem(tr("an osd item"), &data.value); Add(item); item->SetOnlineHelp(tr("Help for item")); To add help for an OSD menu add the following line to the contructor: SetOnlineHelp(tr("Help for this menu")); The same for an object derived from cControl. Whenever the user presses the 'Help' key he gets a simple text menu with the online help. I've already added online help to epgsearch's setup previously, but I think it would be better if there was core support in VDR for this and a common implementation. The patch really needs some refinement (especially the part in vdr.c), but it should only serve as a starting point for a discussion. BR, Christian

no ci.c QUERY messages???
by Simon Baxter 12 Aug '07

12 Aug '07

Hi I have an Irdeto CAM in a TechnoTrend budget DVB-C card. vdr doesn't seem to even attempt QUERY to decrypt more than one stream in the TS. If I record one stream and try and watch another in the same boquet, I just get "channel not available". This is my channels.conf: Sky 1;T:594000:M64:C:XXXX:529:530:0:606:201:182:2:0 Juice 2;T:594000:M64:C:XXXX:577:578:0:606:204:182:2:0 These are my logs: Jul 22 07:23:51 media1 vdr: [5764] info: Recording started Jul 22 07:24:01 media1 vdr: [5764] switching to channel 1 Jul 22 07:24:01 media1 vdr: [5764] info: Channel not available! Jul 22 07:24:03 media1 vdr: [5764] switching to channel 2 looking at ci.c, I thought I should be getting "CAM 1: replies to QUERY....." etc?? 715: case AOT_CA_PMT_REPLY: { dbgprotocol("Slot %d: <== Ca Pmt Reply (%d)", Tc()->CamSlot()->SlotNumber(), SessionId()); if (!repliesToQuery) { dsyslog("CAM %d: replies to QUERY - multi channel decryption possible", Tc()->CamSlot()->SlotNumber()); and 784: else if (state == 3 && timer.TimedOut()) { dsyslog("CAM %d: doesn't reply to QUERY - only a single channel can be decrypted", Tc()->CamSlot()->SlotNumber()); state = 4; // normal operation } any ideas?

Is there any way to simultaneously run 2x MPEG devices at once? Like the output on an FF card, plus a vdr-xine device??

New shutdown procedure not working as expected
by Petri Helin 10 Aug '07

10 Aug '07

Hi, It seems that the new shutdown procedure introduced for versions 1.5.x is (at least for me) not working as expected. The problem is that it does not recognize correctly whether VDR was started manually or not. In fact it thinks every time that it has been started manually. I traced the problem to the SystemExec call in cShutdownHandler::CallShutdownCommand where Setup.NextWakeupTime is updated only if the SystemExec call returns 0. i changed it to accept all values greater or equal to 0 and now Setup.NextWakeupTime gets updated properly. Can some explain me why 0 is expected? Here is the patch that I came up with: --- shutdown.c.orig 2007-08-02 00:14:49.000000000 +0300 +++ shutdown.c 2007-08-02 00:15:10.000000000 +0300 @@ -126,7 +126,7 @@ time_t Delta = WakeupTime ? WakeupTime - time(NULL) : 0; cString cmd = cString::sprintf("%s %ld %ld %d \"%s\" %d", shutdownCommand, WakeupTime, Delta, Channel, *strescape(File, "\"$"), UserShutdown); isyslog("executing '%s'", *cmd); - if (SystemExec(cmd, true) == 0) + if (SystemExec(cmd, true) >= 0) Setup.NextWakeupTime = WakeupTime; // Remember this wakeup time for comparison on reboot } -Petri
