Hi There. I've trying to get xmltv2vdr working. It's a script that dumps an xmltv file into vdr's schedule. I have found that the vdr is causing a problem. It won't let you "PUTE" anything. Not sure what this means, but xmltv2vdr issues the following commands: --- mick@ubuntu:~$ /build/xmltv2vdr-1.0.7/xmltv2vdr.pl -s -v -x /home/mick/TV.xml -c /build/xmltv2vdr-1.0.7/channels.conf CLRE ...

Strange CPU usage cycling after user inactivity
by Brendon Higgins 03 Jul '07

03 Jul '07

Hi there, I'm looking for help solving a strange issue I'm having with my vdr system. It's an AMD64 Debian box, kernel 2.6.18, running vdr 1.4.7, input from a DViCO FusionHDTV DVB-T Plus card, output through a dxr3 card (actually a Hollywood+). When I'm watching TV everything is fine. After I stop watching and leave vdr on its own for a while, weird things start to happen. After a while (I suspect it's when vdr thinks the user inactivity period has expired) vdr starts into some weird cycle. For a minute or two vdr runs using ~1/4 of my CPU, apparently busy with IO. After that it returns to normal, using usually a few percent of the CPU. But then after a few more minutes it peaks up to 25% again, and the cycle continues. I've narrowed it down to the following messages in syslog. This first message appears at the same time as the weird CPU usage starts: Jun 30 21:12:46 phi kernel: cx88[0]/2: cx8802_timeout Jun 30 21:12:55 phi vdr: [3452] frontend 0 timed out while tuning to channel 0, tp 536 Jun 30 21:13:16 phi vdr: [3452] frontend 0 timed out while tuning to channel 0, tp 543 Jun 30 21:13:37 phi vdr: [3452] frontend 0 timed out while tuning to channel 0, tp 564 Jun 30 21:13:58 phi vdr: [3452] frontend 0 timed out while tuning to channel 0, tp 571 On (or not long after) the fourth vdr message (always comes in fours) things settle back to normal, until the next cx8802_timeout, two minutes later (accurate to within a few seconds, actually). Now, this needs to be an always-on machine, and I want it to use as least power (electricity, and thus, CPU) as possible, so it's annoying me that it seems to be doing this IO processing seemingly unnecessarily. It's been doing this a while, probably a few months. I think it started some minor revision ago, but I can't be certain. I'm a bit confused that it's trying to access channel 0, since AFAICT there is *no* channel 0. Help? Thanks, Brendon

FIX request for sysinfo plugin & vdr-1.5.x
by VDR User 02 Jul '07

02 Jul '07

I have discovered that the sysinfo plugin written by Kikko forces VDR-1.5.x to use the default font rather then the user-defined setting. I emailed the author and he responded by saying he won't fix his plugin until Klaus releases a final version of 1.5, which could be quite a long time. I don't understand the logic behind his decision but nonetheless it's his to make so ... I don't think the problem is that hard to fix but I don't have enough knowledge of C to do it myself so I'm asking publically if anyone can have a look and come up with a possible fix/patch for the problem. The newest version of sysinfo is 0.1.0a, which is what I'm using. The plugin can be found at: http://kikko77.altervista.org/index.php?mod=Download Any help with this is greatly appreciated.

changing default font
by Stone 02 Jul '07

02 Jul '07

When I select a different default font for vdr to use (other than San Serif), and save it to setup.conf, vdr does not use the newly selected default font upon startup. It seems vdr keeps defaulting back to the original default font. Has anyone noticed this too? Best Regards.

[PATCH] xineliboutput-1.0.0rc2 - Gnome Screensaver support in vdr-sxfe
by Alex Stansfield 02 Jul '07

02 Jul '07

Hi, Please find attached my second attempt at this patch that will disable the gnome screensaver when vdr-sxfe starts and enable it when it quits. The first version was originally posted to the xineliboutput mailing list, this version of the patch has more intelligent Makefile that checks for dbus dev libraries and gets the paths for the dbus includes. Most of the code is taken from this patch for mplayer: http://codebrowse.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-dev/mplayer/ubuntu-feisty/bundle/na… from what I could gather on the mplayer mailing list this patch was originally done by Piotr Kaczuba (pepe(a)attika.ath.cx) so most credit should go to him. The gnome_screensaver.c file is pretty much entirely his with some changes to make it work with the vdr-sxfe logging so if it's used please be sure to credit him. Any feedback appreciated. Cheers, Alex

Problem with multiple audio channels and DVB subtitles in recordings (YLE Teema)
by Ville Aakko 01 Jul '07

01 Jul '07

Hi! I've had problems with two episodes of a documentary series about drugs and the human brain running on Finnish YLE Teema (originally a French documentary by ARTE France NOVAPROD OWL). The audio channels are labeled wrongly in the recordings (there is the original French commentary / dubbed interviews and one with Finnish commentary / original interviews), but more importantly, subtitles are not replayed in the recordings! I've had no problems with DVB subtitles on other recordings I've made. Wathing the program in real-time has no problems, there I can see the subtitles without problems. Only the recordings have problems. Is this problem only on my setup? I haven't checked into this in more detail yet, but those who are interested (btw. the series is really interesting) and also live in Finland, please check if you can record this correctly. There is a rerun today of the 3rd episode: YLE Teema: 18.00 Huumetta aivoille And, since this is a 5-episode series, there'll be opportunities (2x2) to debug this one. The series runs on thursdays (21.00 EEST), and re-runs on saturdays (18.00 EEST). I'm watching in the Oulu region via DVB-C (OPOY/3KTV). I'm using Gentoo, and vdr 1.4.6, with bigpatch, and subtitles 0.4.0. The newest vdr is not in Gentoo yet (we -- -- Ville Aakko - ville.aakko(a)gmail.com

vdr-1.5.5: red/green/yellow/blue doesn't work anymore
by Torgeir Veimo 01 Jul '07

01 Jul '07

I just upgraded to vdr 1.5.5 and now the colour buttons on the remote doesn't work anymore when there's no OSD. If I press the menu button first they work. Is there a new setting that can have this effect? -- Torgeir Veimo torgeir(a)pobox.com

Buffer overflow in initializing character table
by Klaus Schmidinger 01 Jul '07

01 Jul '07

Marco Schlüßler has sent me the attached patch that fixes a buffer overflow in initializing VDR's character table. Since I'll be away from home for another two weeks and this might be a problem for others, too, I'm posting it here before the next official developer version. Klaus

setting tv standard in /dev/video0
by Stone 01 Jul '07

01 Jul '07

Hi, I am currently using VDR with a Nexus-S FF card in an NTSC environment. For a long time, I could never get the correct tv standard (NTSC) while trying to watch television via VDRAdmin. I recently noticed that once I stream VDR using VLC and its v4l interface, something in /dev/video0 gets set to NTSC, because from then on, the video is correctly set to NTSC mode and I can watch television via the VDRAdmin television interface. Here is the VLC command I'm using: vlc -vvv v4l:/dev/video0:adev=/dev/dsp:audio=1:norm=ntsc:size=352x240 --sout '#transcode{vcodec=DIV3,vb=64,acodec=mp3,ab=48,deinterlace}:std{access=http,mux=asf,dst=:6789}' Notice how VLC is directly interacting with the video from /dev/video0 (this method only works with FF cards). Somehow, the v4l interface from VLC is setting the tv standard properly for /dev/video0 and fixing VDRAdmin for NTSC. Anyone have an idea whats going on? The firmware is set to NTSC as soon as the card tunes to a NTSC channel. Why would /dev/video0 not be set to NTSC until I stream it with VLC? Best Regards.
