Epgsearch does not create timers
by Stuart Morris 07 Feb '07

07 Feb '07

I am having difficulty getting Epgsearch plugin to create any timers. This is the procedure I am going through that I believe should cause Epgsearch plugin to create timers: Menu Program Guide Highlight a scheduled program that I wish to create search parameters for e.g. 'Space 1999' Press 0 Press red button 'Commands' 4 Create search Use as search timer: yes Enter to save the search Press the back button Press 0 Press blue button 'search' Select the search just created Executing the search finds 'Space 1999' in the epg ok Press the back button Press blue button 'Actions' 3 Trigger search timer update Confirm with enter button Press blue button 'Actions' 5 Show timers created The display shows '0 Timers' Exit by pressing menu button Menu Timers No timers set by epgsearch I am using epgsearch version 0.9.20. My epg is received from UK "Freeview" DVB-t. VDR is running as root. There are no patches to vdr. The only other plugin running at the same time is -Pskincurses because the VDR system is headless. I am using VDR version 1.4.4. Am I doing something wrong here or is this a bug? --------------------------------- Inbox full of unwanted email?

vdr 1.4.3 with burn-0.1.0-pre21 fails in growisofs with the following error. This has me stumped. What am I doing wrong?

There were also some changes to glcdgraphics library that were needed for skinning implementation.

[ANNOUNCE] ExtRecMenu-plugin 0.13
by Martin Prochnow 04 Feb '07

04 Feb '07

Hi folks, here a new release of my ExtRecMenu-plugin. What is new? - added two setup option to adjust the plugin behaviour to whose of VDR's recording menu (jumping to last replayed recording, call plugin after replay ends) - only editing of cutting recordings is prevented now - moving recordings between filesystems is now possible; includes: * check for enough free disk space on target filesystem * switch to limit bandwith (a.t.m. 2MBytes/sec) * prevent editing of recordings that are moved * marker for recordings, that are moved - added marker for cutting and moving recording entries - added marker to title bar for cutting and moving recordings - recording info menu shows additional informations (name, path, channel, size, lifetime, priority) - added setup option to select between plugin's and VDR's recording info menu - dvd.vdr is ignored, as long as a 001.vdr is present - fixed following issue (again): if there are more then one recording with the same name, only one of it is shown if all recording details are hidden What is the ExtRecMenu-plugin? The EXTended RECordings MENU plugin provides a recordings menu with additional functions to VDR's recordings menu: - renaming recordings and directories - moving recordings and directories, also between different filesystems - functionality of the DVDArchiv-patch - adjustable display of recording's length, date and size - directories are always shown on top of the list - reworked layout using icons for showing the status of list entries (directory, new recording, moving recording, cutting recording, dvd archiv entry) - sorting by name or date, adjustable for each directory - ascending/descending sorting - extends VDR's '-r'-option commands with 'move' and 'rename' - extended recordings info menu, shows name, path, channel, size, lifetime and priority of the recording - protects recordings in co-work with the PIN-plugin Have fun with it!

[ANNOUNCE]: graphlcd-0.2.0-pre1
by Andreas Regel 04 Feb '07

04 Feb '07

Hi, this is the first alpha release of the GraphLCD base package and plugin for VDR which finally introduces skinning support. There is still much functionality missing but it is basically working (Take a look into TODO file). There is no documentation yet. The skin format is based on text2skin's format with some simplifications and useful extensions like - global font definitions - variables (numbers and strings), evaluated while loading the skin - arithmetic functions - font functions to query font height, string width, ... - image functions to query image width and height Take a look at the supplied default skin for an example. Installation is as usual: copy the graphlcd subfolder to your VDR config/plugin directory. Start VDR with following example parameters: -P'graphlcd -d <your display> -s default'. The new parameter -s specifies the skin to use. The default skin shoudl look OK on both 128x64 and 240x128 displays. You can download the packages from the berlios project's file page: http://developer.berlios.de/project/showfiles.php?group_id=356 Regards, Andreas

Sky+ Series Link
by Rob Davis 04 Feb '07

04 Feb '07

I was playing with a Sky+ box over Christmas and was quite impressed mainly with Series Link. What would be involved to get this implemented on VDR? I understand the likelihood of reading the Sky UK epg streams is small - however I am downloading a week or so worth of epg listings off xmltv. Is it possible to do a quick search on the epg if a "record series" link is requested? -- Latest news on http://www.streetcredo.org.uk/rob Rob Davis

[PATCH] Fix EPG for UPC direct
by Thiemo Gehrke 03 Feb '07

03 Feb '07

UPC is a provider for middle european countries (Czechia, Hungary and Poland). They use iso6937-2 for encoding their EPG data so this looks quite strange in the vdr. The applied patch does a "remapping" to iso8859-2 so that characters are displayed correct. (Currently only tested with Czech and Hungarian, but should also work for Polish) While testing this with the help of an hungarian user, i also found out that the the codepage for Hungary must be 8859-2, not -1. The patch is work by Helmut Auer. cheers, Tim
