FF card A/V sync suggestion
by C.Y.M 02 Feb '07

02 Feb '07

Since it has been several years now and I have never been able to solve the a/v desync issues with my Nexus-S FF card when playing back recordings, I was thinking about what could be done. As of now, I have been using xine with my FF card to fix the problem. But, if I use xine, then even live tv is played back over software. The problem was never with live tv, only playing back recordings. What if the mplayer plugin was modified to replace the default vdr playback for recordings. It currently works as is, but it has problems with split files (ie; 001.vdr, 002.vdr, etc.). Also, it would be nice if there was an option to replace the default playback in vdr for recordings (so we wouldnt have to select the mplayer plugin first every time). Just a suggestion, but using mplayer over mpegpes would definitely be a better solution for fixing the a/v desync instead of having to use xine for everything (since there never was a problem with live tv). Best Regards.

FF card AV sync problems, possible fix to VDR
by Ville Rannikko 01 Feb '07

01 Feb '07

Hi! The newest firmware for FF cards did not completely fix the AV desync problems for me. According to information from Werner the problem happens when small video frames fill the decoder buffer with over 2 seconds of data. So I made this patch for dvbplayer.c to stop it from uploading more PES frames to decoder when STC/PTS difference is more than 2 seconds. This seems to fix the remaining problems for me, but I have not tested it much. The PTS/STC-code has been mostly taken from the dvb-subtitles plugin.

DVD plugin - sound jerky??
by Simon Baxter 31 Jan '07

31 Jan '07

I've had this problem for ages and never found any resolution to it as it's really only a problem with DVDs that have a lot of chapters. When it get towards the end of a chapter, the sound disappears. The video is still fine, but the sound stops. Are there any debugs I can run to get more info out of dvd-plugin?

SetPlayMode() on radio channels
by Thiemo 31 Jan '07

31 Jan '07

Hi, is there a special reason that SetPlayMode() is always called with "pmAudioVideo" even on radio channels instead of pmAudioOnly or pmAudioOnlyBlack? It would make things much easier if it would do so (for displaying a background image). Can you give me a hint where I could change this? cheers, Tim

VDR-on-Mac patches
by Tero Siironen 31 Jan '07

31 Jan '07

I've made patches for VDR 1.4.5 and few plugins (Subtitles, streamdev and xineliboutput, softdevice) to run them on Mac OS X (10.4.8 Intel tested) Notice, VDR can only be run as client for another VDR system as there's no support for DVB devices. Server-VDR needs a streamdev-server or xineliboutput plugin which can stream the reception to the client. Patches and short instrucions can be found from here: http://kotisivu.suomi.net/izero/vdr-darwin/vdr-darwin.html -- Tero

vdr-1.5.0: PrimaryLimit ?
by s.huelswitt＠gmx.de 30 Jan '07

30 Jan '07

Hi, I'm playing around with 1.5.0 Initialy I wasn't able to tune to any channel. Even for FTA vdr kept saying "not available". It took me nearly an hour to find the reason for that: I had set PrimaryLimit=20 I have this setting since ages, but cannot say why anymore. I found that vdr runs with PrimaryLimit=0 only. So my question is: what is the meaning of PrimaryLimit if there is exactly one setting which makes vdr operable? FYI: I think the change is in cDevice::SetChannel(), line 674. In the GetDevice() call the priority was Setup.PrimaryLimit, now is 0. Regards. -- Stefan Huelswitt s.huelswitt(a)gmx.de | http://www.muempf.de/

[Announce] epgsearch-0.9.20
by Christian Wieninger 30 Jan '07

30 Jan '07

Hi, here's the next release of epgsearch. Description and download: http://people.freenet.de/cwieninger/html/vdr-epg-search__english_.html wget: http://people.freenet.de/cwieninger/vdr-epgsearch-0.9.20.tgz 2006-01-30: Version 0.9.20 new: - support for vdr-1.5.0. Note: the CA support in the timer conflict check is highly experimental because I have no CAMs to test it! - epgsearch can now also modify manual timers according to EPG changes. When using epgsearch's own timer edit menu you can select between * no check * by event ID * by channel/time Please refer to the README (1.4.4 Setup/Timer Programming/Default timer check method) for further notes. - the timespan used in the favorites menu can now be adjusted via setup. Default is 24h. - Event announcements: If the user presses one of the keys 'Ok', '0', ... '9' while the announcement of an event is displayed, he will be asked if further announcements of this event should be disabled for ever (user hit '0' or 'Ok') or for the next 'x' days (user hit '1' to '9'). After pressing 'Ok' again, this setting will be stored. - With the new setup option "No announcements when replaying" you can now suppress any announcements of broadcasts when you currently replay anything. Suggested by Andreas Mair. - Besides the done file for recordings there is now a done file for timers (timersdone.conf). This allows deleting timers without getting them again with the next search timer update. With the new menu 'Show timers created' in Search/Actions one can edit this list. The whole feature can be disabled in the search timers setup. Note: the done list is only populated with timers that were newly created with this release. - new addon plugin 'quickepgsearch': it creates a main menu entry 'Quick search' and can be used to search for any event in the EPG. Include it with '-Pquickepgsearch' , suggested by SurfaceCleanerZ@vdrportal. - new setup option "Limit channels from 1 to" to speed up epgsearchs call. If the current channel is above the limit, all channels will be displayed. Suggested by Uwe@vdrportal. - new SVDRP commands: * 'LSRD' returns a list of all recording directories used in existing recordings, timers, search timers or as specified in epgsearchdirs.conf * 'LSTT [ID]' to list all search templates, or the one with the passed ID (format is the same as epgsearch.conf) * 'NEWT <settings>' to add a new search template REMARK: the value of element ID is ignored. epgsearch will always assign the next free ID * 'DELT <ID>' to delete the search template with ID * 'EDIT <settings>' to modify an existing search template * 'DEFT [ID]' returns the ID of the default search template. When passing an ID it activates the corresponding template as default. - you can now also use sendmail for mail delivery besides the script sendemail.pl (-> setup), suggested by Patrick Cernko - new variables: * '%timespan%' to be used in menus or mails. It will be replaced with the timespan from now to the begin of an event (e.g. 'in 15m'). It is now used in the default menu template of the favorites menu, where the date field was removed. * '%length%' for the length of a broadcast in seconds. - thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg for finnish translation update fixes: - manually created timers are now neither deleted nor modified by any search timers. - the addon conflictcheckonly was compiled even if WITHOUT_CONFLICTCHECKONLY was defined in the Makefile, thanks to Ronny Kornexl for reporting. - search term and directory support now the characters 'ß' (only for language german) and '@'. - 'avoid repeats' had a bug (in some special cases) that created a timer for any later repeat instead of the first event. - a search with "Use day of week" AND "Use time" where "Start before" is after midnight now also matches events on the next day til "Start before". E.g. "Start after 22:00" and "Start before 03:00" on monday will also match an event at 01:00 at tuesday. - already recording timers are now modified only, if the timers stop time has changed (e.g. by an EPG update), thanks to Mike Constabel for reporting. - fixed a bug in evaluation of user variables, thanks to Mike Constabel for reporting and remote debugging - fixed a bug in conflict mail notification concerning timers without assigned events Have fun!
