audio skips on NFS recording playback
by Simon Baxter 07 Aug '07

07 Aug '07

I have a remote VDR box which holds a bunch of recordings. I attach from the local VDR box via an NFS share. Every 2-5 minutes I get a 1/2 second slip in audio, but no logs are written in /var/logs/messages, kernel messages or on the VDR console. There are also no reported errors on eth0. I don't get these audio slips playing locally recorded files. Can anyone suggest any more detailed logs I can look at? I had suspected when the playback moved between files (001.vdr 002.vdr etc) perhaps there was a slip - but I can't see what file the player is up to. Is there any logs I can run to show the audio stream being played? Thanks Simon vdr-1.4.6 locally vdr-1.5.2 remote recorder

[ANNOUNCE] Frontend for VDR/mplayer on Nokia 770/800
by Gavin Hamill 06 Aug '07

06 Aug '07

Just some Python I knocked together - don't expect the world. It reads a channel list via SVDRP, shows the list, and launches mplayer with the appropriate arguments. Requires python and mplayer on the Nokia, VDR with streamdev-server and a machine (perhaps the VDR machine) with a CGI-capable webserver (I use thttpd) to transcode from MPEG2 -> low bitrate MPEG4 so the 770 can play it. There's no easy .deb to install - just a tarball, I dunno how to make packages for Maemo yet. Good luck. http://bum.net/vdrview.tar.gz Cheers, Gavin.

[ANNOUNCE] Hard link cutter patch 0.1.4
by Udo Richter 04 Aug '07

04 Aug '07

Hi list, The original hard link cutter patch has received a few bug fixes and an enhancement, so its time to release an updated version. Quick info: The hard link cutter patch changes the recording editing algorithms of VDR to use file system hard links to 'copy' recording files whenever possible to speed up editing recordings noticeably. The new feature of this release is dynamic increase of recording file size before VDR runs out of xxx.vdr files. That way, for example, VDR will use 30Mb for 001.vdr - 206.vdr and 2000Mb for 207.vdr - 255.vdr. For a complete list of changes, see web page. Don't miss the README-HLCUTTER included in the patch. http://www.udo-richter.de/vdr/patches.html#hlcutter http://www.udo-richter.de/vdr/patches.en.html#hlcutter Cheers, Udo

1.4.7 and xineliboutput issues
by mike lewis 03 Aug '07

03 Aug '07

Hi Team. Just would like to start this post with a big thankyou to everyone who contributes to VDR. It's a great piece of software and I have really enjoyed toying with it over the past 6 months or so. I've recently started using xinelibout plugin. I have a vanilla vdr 1.4.7 apprat from the xinelibout plugin. I've recently found that sometimes when watching a stream that is currently recording, not sure why (could be load, disk speed etc) I will see some on-screen stutering. The scenario that happened last night was as follows. Recording a 2.5hr show / stream. The recording was about 1hr 20 or so mins through. I had been watching the stream for about 30 minutes but was up to about 40minutes in the stream, when I saw some "digital" noise on the screen. Like when you have a mild scratch on a dvd. blocking etc. I happened maybe twice or three times over about 10 to 15 seconds and then went away.. Then, when I got to about 1hr20 minutes through watching the stream; I get the "no signal" screen. I tried "stopping" playback (so go back to live tv) and no signal doesn't get replaced by the live tv. I then tried to watch some other recordings.. and the same thing happens (that is, nothing.. the display shows like it's watching a show, but the clock is stoped and ff/ww/jump don't change the clock value..). So.. What can I do to debug whats going on and why?? Regards, Mick

Hi Have anybody tried xine-lib 1.1.7 with xine-vdr plugin and xxmc video engine? When I have done it, picture was flashing while deinterlace was enabled. I'm affraid, that support for bob deinterlace in xinelib 1.1.7 in xxmc module was changed and now is a little underdone... Boguslaw Juza

Building debain plugin packages
by UseNet-Posting-Nospam-74308-＠zocki.toppoint.de 31 Jul '07

31 Jul '07

Hello Tobias made real help pages at e-tobi.net. Thanks a lot. Really very helpful! Now i am trying to make my next VDR using "debian packaging". I can't use precompiled vdr because i need the "lnbsharing patch". But when i apply that patch, all binary plugins are rejected. That's OK. Building vdr it self works so far, but. But: How should a compile all these tons of plugins? Is there somewhere a list (like patches) or script or have i to download each plugin, complie it, install it and than do the next as shown in the script? Is that the intended way to go? Any hints? The script debian/vdraptrefresh seems to be something but it ia actually not... Currenty i use these steps to "make" a debian package according to http://www.e-tobi.net/blog/articles/2004/09/21/das-vdr-quelltextpaket vdr:~# cd /usr/src/vdr vdr:/usr/src/vdr# cat ../vdrgetsources #!/bin/sh # last version.

Configuring vdr-sxfe to use a single vdr backend for recordings/dvb cards
by Andrew Herron 31 Jul '07

31 Jul '07

Hi again, Can someone give me some guidance on how to confgure the following; I have a central machine running vdr 1.4.6 (has all the recording storage and dvb cards) I have several networked vdr machines that i want to use to connect back to the 'server' vdr machine. The networked vdr machines will have no dvb cards (they will all be located at the vdr server). How do i configure my vdr client machines to connect back to the server vdr machine and use its dvb cards/recording storage etc? Can anyone give some guidance on this type of setup or point me at a url where I can find out about such a config? Thanks in advance. Andrew
