Serious bug? VDR v1.4.4 deletes recordings
by Pasi Juppo 04 Jun '07

04 Jun '07

Hi, For some reason VDR has decided to remove recordings. I've been suspecting this for some time but now I'm sure. I've been recording Tomi Traktori (a serie for kids) and there used to way more recordings that single page. Now only single page and all recordings in 2007 have been deleted. There is no indication in log files that VDR had removed these recordings (although I'm not 100% whether there was log entry because logs data back only to 13th of May). What could be the reason for this and how to prevent this? There have been over 40h of free space on the disk so that is not the reason. Br, Pasi

Sky Freesat and VDR
by Alasdair Campbell 04 Jun '07

04 Jun '07

As I've just been told that the scaffolding currently surrounding the communal aerial in my neighbourhood will be up for months, I'm looking at purchasing a DVB-S card. The terrestrial analogue reception is just terrible, so much that my dvb-t cards keep choking and dying. As I'm in the UK, and have a shared satellite dish I've been interested in using the Sky Freesat service. I've read on avforums that people have managed to get their freesat and even paytv cards working with TT T3200S cards + CI card + CAM. Unfortunately they're all using Windows MCE and the information is heavily windows specific. As I've no interest in HDTV (or windows), I was hoping to go for a cheaper card. Does anyone using VDR in the UK currently have this setup working? Would you care to mention the hardware you have? I'd only be looking for the full freesat channel line-up, specifically all the freeview channels I currently can't see! :-) I won't be subscribing to Sky Tv. One major issue is I don't have an extra coax cable heading to my vdr server. I was planning on installing the dvb-s card in my client and using another vdr server working in conjunction with the 'master'. Installing another cable will mean digging up 25m of earth and shifting some paving slabs :-/ Principally I'd like the whole setup to seem transparent in that I can record from the 2 dvb-t cards or the dvb-s card using the same epg, and shared recordings folders etc. Is this feasible? This is secondary to just getting a proper digital tv service working in our living room. -- A l a s d a i r C a m p b e l l r a g a w u @ g m a i l . c o m

what are section filters?
by Clemens Kirchgatterer 02 Jun '07

02 Jun '07

hi. since i get many lines of read incomplete section - len = 1127, r = 334 when my machine is recording and under heavy CPU load, i was curios what this means. i had a look at the vdr source and saw that there is nearly no code to recover from short reads from the corresponding filedescriptor. my guess is, that this data is not important enougth to be handled more carfully. but what is it for? i searched the web for EIT DVB section filters a.s.o. but couldn't find any useful information. can anybody give me some hints or point me in the right direction regarding section filters? thanx ... clemens

Can I hide default main entries (Schedule, Channels, Timers)?
by Stephan Loescher 02 Jun '07

02 Jun '07

Hi! Is there a way to hide some of the default main menu entries of VDR? I have made a replay-only-client, which has no DVB-device, thus no channels and no timers. This client needs only "Recordings" and "Setup". I'd like to hide the main menu entries "Schedule", "Channels" and "Timers".

Hi Klaus, Could you tell me, please, are you planning to add support of MPEG4 to VDR? It's good front-end for HTPC but era of HDTV is coming. So, people need it. Thanks in advance. -- Best regards, Michael Stepanov, www.stepanoff.org

analogtv, pvrinput & PVR 250 VBI support
by Raphael Coeffic 30 May '07

30 May '07

Hi! i have a vdr installation with a PVR 250 analog tv card and xineliboutput as output device. On the input side, i tried pvrinput and analogtv. I could get both to work. However, there is still an issue with VBI support. Using pvrinput, teletext support only works if patched as shown on the german wiki page (http://www.vdr-wiki.de/wiki/index.php/Pvrinput-plugin). But then, the tv output is not working anymore: i get about 1 picture / 2 seconds, and the sound is very very choppy. Using analogtv, i could not get the teletext support to work. If both cases (analogtv, and unpatched pvrinput), the files written by the osdteletext plugin to the cache directory have very strange page numbers and are full of garbage. Has anybody any experience with a "PVR250-only" VDR install? I'd be happy about any comments on the issue i encounter. Thanks Raphael. -- GMX FreeMail: 1 GB Postfach, 5 E-Mail-Adressen, 10 Free SMS.
