Help with channels.conf for analogtv + xine
by Toufeeq Hussain 05 May '07

05 May '07

Hi all, I'm using vdr with the analogtv and xine plugins to receive input from a VCR and trying to display it on my PC. The installation of the software and the plugins went well and vdr also seems to be working with y TV-tuner card. However when I use xine(with the vdr plugin) to try and connect to the vdr stream it says that there is 'NO SIGNAL'. I've tried different settings in my channels.conf but nothing seems to get me the output on xine. So, I'm guessing the problem is with the way I've configured my analogtv plugin and my channels.conf entry. Here is what my channels.conf reads like : Television:591250:B0C0D0:C:0:160:160:0:A0:65003:0:0:0 591250 : The frequency at which the VCR is displaying the "channel". B0 : PAL VCR C0 : /dev/video0 which is my TV-tuner card D0 : television Source : As per README , I've this fixed as 'C' Srate : Again as per README , this is '0' VPID : Picked this up from the VDR wiki which says it should be 160 for analogtv APID : Picked this up from the VDR wiki which says it should be 160 for analogtv TPID : Picked from README which shows it to be '0' CA : From wiki, I've fixed this as 'A0' SID : '65003' from the readme NID , TID, RID : All '0' I think the problem is with the SID which I've set as 65003, Since the input here is television I don't know what should be the value of SID as there is none corresponding to TV in the ChannelMap.h file. Please tell me what is a good value for SID for normal TV. Thanks, Toufeeq -- blog @ http://www.toufeeq.net

Question for you. When you FF/REW etc, the .xpm file for the FF etc (i.e. plugins/skinenigmang/icons/replay/fastForward1.xpm) is overlaid on a white/blue icon that looks kind of like a video tape. Where is the xpm for this blue/white thing? I'd like to edit it Thanks

recording directory changes after timer resume
by Christian Wieninger 03 May '07

03 May '07

Hi, I noticed a problem with the recording directory of the following timer 9:S19.2E-1-1092-10100:M------:2000:2200:50:99:Musik~DELUXE: in a situation where the recording gets interrupted by any other recording due to higher priority (with vdr-1.4.6): > Mar 19 20:00:00 Kanotix vdr: [4293] timer 1 (44 2000-2200 'Musik~DELUXE') start > Mar 19 20:00:04 Kanotix vdr: [4293] record /video0/Musik/DELUXE/_/2007-03-19.20.00.50.99.rec > Mar 19 20:00:05 Kanotix vdr: [4299] channel 44 (DELUXE MUSIC) event Mon 19.03.2007 19:52-20:11 '(null)' s > tatus 4 > Mar 19 21:03:00 Kanotix vdr: [4293] stopping recording on DVB device 1 due to higher priority > Mar 19 21:03:01 Kanotix vdr: [4293] timer 1 (44 2000-2200 'Musik~DELUXE') stop > Mar 19 21:03:03 Kanotix vdr: [4293] timer 1 (44 2000-2200 'Musik~DELUXE') start > Mar 19 21:03:03 Kanotix vdr: [4293] executing 'noad before "/video0/Musik/DELUXE/Den_Song_für_Ihr_Privata > rchiv_kaufen_Si/2007-03-19.20.00.50.99.rec"' > Mar 19 21:03:03 Kanotix noad[4502]: noad arg[0]: noad > Mar 19 21:03:03 Kanotix noad[4502]: noad arg[1]: before > Mar 19 21:03:03 Kanotix noad[4502]: noad arg[2]: /video0/Musik/DELUXE/Den_Song_für_Ihr_Privatarchiv_kaufe > n_Si/2007-03-19.20.00.50.99.rec > Mar 19 21:03:03 Kanotix noad[4502]: noad args done > Mar 19 21:03:03 Kanotix noad[4502]: noad called with 'before' and online=1 and liverecording is no > Mar 19 21:03:03 Kanotix noad[4502]: nothing to do yet > Mar 19 21:03:03 Kanotix vdr: [4293] record /video0/Musik/DELUXE/Den_Song_für_Ihr_Privatarchiv_kaufen_Si/2 > 007-03-19.20.00.50.99.rec as you can see the timers recording directory changes from empty ('_' ) to 'Den_Song_für_Ihr_Privatarchiv_kaufen_Si' when the recording is resumed on device 2, resulting in 2 single recordings. Background: the timer is responsible for a recording on DeluxeMusic. DeluxeMusic delivers their EPG for the current and the next track. So its permanently changing. When the recording is finished it will be processed with the deluxe-plugin to extract mp3's. But this only works with one consistent recording. The reason for VDRs behaviour is probably that at the beginning of the recording there's no EPG at all, while after the resume there is one. Any ideas how to avoid the two recordings? BR, Christian

TT-1500 & Irdeto CAM working anyone??
by Simon Baxter 03 May '07

03 May '07

Does anyone have a TT-1500 DVB-C card working with an Irdeto CAM? Or in that case, any other CAM? If so, what kernel are you running? What v4l-dvb snapshot?? I'm lost! Thanks Simon

AnalogTV plugin help with saa7134
by Toufeeq Hussain 02 May '07

02 May '07

Hi, I'm currently using a Pinnacle PCTV 50e TV-tuner card and trying to get it to work with vdr and facing some problems. Does the analogtv plugin work with the saa7134 set of TV-tuner cards. If someone has got these cards to work well with analogtv I would like to know what are the steps which are required to make it work. I have analogtv compiled with vdr 1.4.X and this is the output of vdr once I start it with 'vdr -Panalogtv' 20:30:12 analogTV version 1.0.00 starting up ... 20:30:12 20:30:12 Copyright (c) 2003 .. 2006 by Andreas Kool (akool(a)gmx.de) 20:30:12 20:30:12 The analogTV plugin is the work of many people; 20:30:12 for at least a partial list see CREDITS. 20:30:12 20:30:12 analogTV comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details see COPYING. 20:30:12 This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it 20:30:12 under certain conditions; see COPYING for details. 20:30:12 20:30:12 Detected Linux version 2.6.18-4-686 20:30:12 Detected VDR version 1.4.5 20:30:12 Detected plain-vanilla VDR (hopefully :-) 20:30:12 cSchedules created 20:30:12 Using 4:3 video format 20:30:12 Detected ConfigDirectory()="/video/plugins" 20:30:12 CPU , family 0, model 0, stepping 2 20:30:12 CPU measured at 648.054MHz 20:30:12 Using MMX optimized memcpy() At this point it just stops and nothing seems to be happening. I tried using softdevice with "xv:" but it just exited without displaying anything. Any help w.r.t this problem would be much appreciated. Thanks, Toufeeq -- blog @ http://www.toufeeq.net

en50221_tl_poll: CAWrite failed
by Simon Baxter 02 May '07

02 May '07

Thought I'd try a new thread with this problem as I'm getting no where - and not sure what else to try. I've just added a Irdeto CAM to my TT-1500 Budget DVB-C card and I'm getting write errors with VDR and with gnutv: [root@media1 gnutv]# dmesg | grep DVB DVB: registering new adapter (TT-Budget-C-CI PCI). DVB: registering frontend 0 (ST STV0297 DVB-C)... dvb_ca adapter 0: DVB CAM detected and initialised successfully dvb_ca adapter 0: DVB CAM detected and initialised successfully [root@media1 gnutv]# ./gnutv -cammenu en50221_tl_poll: CAWrite failed en50221_stdcam_llci_poll: Error reported by stack:-2 and In /var/log/messages: Apr 30 19:31:26 media1 vdr: [2774] CAM 1: module present Apr 30 19:31:28 media1 kernel: dvb_ca adapter 0: DVB CAM detected and initialised successfully Apr 30 19:31:28 media1 vdr: [2774] CAM 1: module ready Apr 30 19:31:29 media1 vdr: [2774] ERROR: can't write to CI adapter on device 0: Input/output error In dmesg: dvb_ca adapter 0: DVB CAM detected and initialised successfully dvb_ca adapter 0: DVB CAM detected and initialised successfully dvb_ca adapter 0: DVB CAM detected and initialised successfully I'm running the latest hg v4l-dvb. Can anyone suggest anything? Does this look like faulty hardware??? It does it in 2 different machines. Thanks Simon

Which is the best way for DVD audio (2.0)?
by Kartsa 01 May '07

01 May '07

I have vdr-1.4.5 and dvd-cvs plugin. What would be the correct way to get the dvd audio out? I have two different sets, one with FF card and one with DXR3. I've tried to use -a a52dec with different modes but have not been able to get audio out from FF/DXR3 (analog). Ofcourse there is AC3 on the dvd why else use a52dec. Anyway I can get the audio out through separate audio card but the dvd audio is slightly delayd. Any hints why? \\Kartsa
