Breaking sound at playback
by JJussi 22 Jul '07

22 Jul '07

Hi! This question is directed more to Finnish DBV/VDR gurus... I have problem with YLE recordings. When watching "live" proadcast, sound is just right but when watch same program as recoded, sound is breaking, picture is fine, but sound have short gaps.. Like when there is not enougth CPU power to decode it. IF I play that file directly with xine sound is fine.. No problem. During watching, when sound start breaking, if I "jump" few second backward sound is fine for a while, but then start breaking again. So this problem is only with YLE recordings, other channels are fine always. I have tried to change almost everyhting at xineliboutput and replay settings, nothing helps. This is not version related (atleast not vdr version). -- JJussi

VDR BUG: Cannot display named channels on a transponder with other unnamed channels present
by Morfsta 21 Jul '07

21 Jul '07

Hi, I am running VDR 1.4.6-1 and I think there is a bug in its tuning of certain channels. On the Astra 28.2E package at 11604V there are two unnamed channels which are Sky Anytime A and Sky Anytime B (http://www.lyngsat.com/packages/skyuk.html). Using dvbscan these show up as channels [0f36] and [0f37] respectively and have VPIDS 518 and 519. It is poosible to display these channels, but it is now not possible to receive the other channels on this transponder (VPIDS 512 to 517). I had no problems receiving these channels before the appearance of these additional channels. I have checked the channel settings for the other channels and they are all correct, so I can only guess that there is a bug in VDR that prevents these channels from being displayed. The problem exists without any additional plugins in use. Regards, Morfsta

[ANNOUNCE] vdr-osdserver 0.0.2
by Udo Richter 21 Jul '07

21 Jul '07

Hi, I've published version 0.0.2 of the OSDServer plugin. OSDServer is a plugin that allows external programs to use the OSD and the menu system of VDR. Access is done via TCP/IP and a simple script language that is primarily designed to be handled by perl programs and shell scripts. Until now, interactive VDR extensions were only available to C++ coders, but with this plugin, script coders can use the OSD too. Version 0.0.2 provides a first, solid set of commands for menus and configuration dialogs, and should be useful for first applications. Feedback on problems and improvement suggestions are welcome. Download and sample: http://www.udo-richter.de/vdr/osdserver.html http://www.udo-richter.de/vdr/osdserver.en.html Cheers, Udo

by Leo Márquez 20 Jul '07

20 Jul '07

Hi, After a lot of tests I have reached that I can't burn any vdr recordings with vdr-burn plugin if I choose do a 'dvd with menus'. In dvd.log I see: dvdauthor -x dvd.xml .... segmentation fault If I run this command in shell I get same result, segmentation fault again. I'm using vdr 1.4.3 and also tested with vdr-1.4.6 burn plugin is http://linux.kompiliert.net/contrib/vdr-burn-0.1.0-pre21.tgz and dvdauthor is the recommended in readme: dvdauthor - http://dvdauthor.sourceforge.net ** Tested with 0.6.10 ** recommended: 0.6.12-alpha-2992-GfD-5 from ** http://www.videohelp.com/~gfd/edcounter.php?file=download/dvdauthor-0.6.12-… ** if you want to create discs with titles longer than 10000 seconds I also have tested compiling dvdauthor 0.6.14. Anyone has experimented the same problem? And know how to solve this? Thanks.

VDR shutdown question
by Norbert Goebel 19 Jul '07

19 Jul '07

Hi, does vdr (especially version 1.4.7 as I am using this right now) tell the shutdownscript in any way what caused the shutdown-request (pressing the poweroff button on fb or the idle timer)? I am asking this cause I switched from 24/7 to nvram-wakeup and it (in the form it is implemented today) failed the waf-test. My wife (and somehow me too) does not like the behaviour of VDR that there is no way to choose a timeperiod where the idletimer is inactive. Let's say you like the comfort of 24/7 but nevertheless want to save some energy. Normally vdr is not used between 0:00 and 8:00, so it could be off at these times (but only if no recordings are to be done). During 8:01 - 23:59 we don't want vdr to idle-shutdown (but manual shutdowns should still work). For this it would be nice to have a) a direct vdr feature (like no idletimer from x to y (and maybe more than one range)) or b) a way to distinguish between manual shutdown and idletimer shutdown in the shutdownscript. Today we can choose between a) a long idletimeout (but that also leads to long unused uptimes in the middle of the night after a recording) b) short idletimeout (which is annoying cause you always have to tell vdr to keep alive) c) a shutdown-hook that disables shutdowns from 8-24 (which a) still can't stop the annoying message to appear on screen and b) will stop manual shutdowns from working too) So somehow I see a missing feature here ;) Many thanks for your answers, Norbert

Why does vdr-1.5.x poweroff my computer at boot ?
by Gregoire Favre 17 Jul '07

17 Jul '07

Hello, I use Min. event timeout/user inactivity of 60 minutes but when my computer poweron vdr only seems to wait for about 5 minutes before shuting down my computer if a timer isn't programmed which is quiete bad if I power it by hand and don't come after it directly. Of couse I could add a simple svdrp command at boot time to prevent this bug, but certainly they are better way to handle this. Any clue about it ? Thank you very much, -- Grégoire FAVRE http://gregoire.favre.googlepages.com http://www.gnupg.org http://picasaweb.google.com/Gregoire.Favre

EPG: Events with same <event id> on different channels?
by Friedhelm Büscher 16 Jul '07

16 Jul '07

Hi everybody. I wonder, if <event id> (according to vdr.5) must be uniq among *all* events known to vdr or only among the events of the current channel? Is it valid to have a <event id> of 4711 for "ard" and a <event id> of 4711 for "zdf"? Or will these both events clash? regards, Friedhelm.
