Problems receiving couple of german channels DVB-S
by Peer Oliver Schmidt 30 Jan '07

30 Jan '07

Hi, I have problems receiving some channels (ARD, ZDF,N3, DMAX) in good quality. Receiving other channels (SAT.1, RTL, Pro7, Das Vierte) works just fine. I have three budget TT cards connected to a multiswitch in my attic, just a few meters cable away from my dish. Each DVB-S card is running on a different IRQ. Is it possible, I just miswired the multiswitch? Any idea on how to fix this problem would be greatly appreciated. -- Best regards Peer Oliver Schmidt PGP Key ID: 0x83E1C2EA

Bug in selecting audio channel over digital out
by Patrick Mackin 29 Jan '07

29 Jan '07

Today I noticed that when I select left or right audio channel, this only takes effect on the analog audio out, not the digital out of my Nexus card. From my Nexus, I have video (yellow), audio right (red), and audio left (white) run to my television. I have the digital audio out (black) run to my stereo system in another room. When I switch to a radio station with different broadcasts on the left and right channels, I can select either left or right on my remote. The audio plays fine on the TV, but I still have the garbled mix of both channels on the digital output. I don't know if this is a bug in vdr or the Nexus drivers or firmware. Nexus 2.3, 1ghz Athlon XP, 1gb RAM, VDRLive CD installed to harddrive

frontend tuning timeouts break DD AC3 stream
by Thomas Bartschies 29 Jan '07

29 Jan '07

Hi, I'm experiencing the usual DD A3 stream breaks here. Now I have discovered that the epg scan seems to trigger them, by tuning to some channels. vdr logs frontend tuning timeouts synchronously to the stream breaks my AV Receiver displays. They can only be caused by a background job like the epg scan. Also the timeouts occur on the primary card, which seem to be sometimes used to make scans. I'm not sure if the tuning timeouts were caused because the channels are encrypted, or by invalid data in the channels.conf. But that should have no meaning here. The timeouts can be caused by the firmware or driver, or in vdr by tuner thread locking issues. I need help to sort this out. I have a three FF card system. Why does vdr use the Primary Card for scans anyway? Shouldn't all of this occur on a non-primary card all of the time? How can I force vdr to not use the primary device for PID,EPG and all other scans? At least for further testing. Best Regards, Thomas

silly Question - new wide screen
by Linux TV homemaillist 29 Jan '07

29 Jan '07

I've just connected my VDR box to my Sony Bravia 32" LCD. I'm running the vdr-xine plugin. When I play recordings the screen zooms right up to the 16:9. But when I'm just viewing the OSD (no DVB card working yet) it's only displaying in 4:3. If I view a movie from "xine --fullscreen movie.avi" it zooms to the full screen. I'm sure this is "idiot error". any takers?

Problem with compiling plugins
by Kartsa 28 Jan '07

28 Jan '07

I have trouble with two plugins, burn and mplayer. I've tried to fiend answer all possible places I can think of I now I just have to ask all of you :( I've got vdr-1.4.4, burn-0.0.5 and mp3-0.9.15. I also have femon-1.1.1 and subtitles0.4.0 which compiles fine together with the default plugins that come with vdr. I have this output when executing make plugins ..... Plugin burn: make[1]: Entering directory `/root/Lataukset/vdr-1.4.4/PLUGINS/src/burn-0.0.5' g++ -g -Wall -Woverloaded-virtual -c -DPLUGIN_NAME_I18N='"burn"' -D_GNU_SOURCE -DDVDDEV='"/dev/dvd"' -DISODIR=NULL -I../../../include -I../../../../DVB/include -o burn.o burn.c burn.c:32: error: conflicting return type specified for â ../../../include/vdr/plugin.h:43: error: overriding â burn.c: In member function â: burn.c:58: warning: converting to non-pointer type â from NULL make[1]: *** [burn.o] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/root/Lataukset/vdr-1.4.4/PLUGINS/src/burn-0.0.5' .....

I've used to install my vdr by using ready-made packages by "yum install packagename". Now that I had the problem with stuttering I was to make a small change in dvbplayer.c (#define PLAYERBUFSIZE MEGABYTE(64)) I was forced to do compiling. Well the test is now underway but I dont have those two plugins in use. Any hints/advice would be appreciated. All requirements should be fullfilled. \\Kartsa

diseqc problem with Edision switch
by Ilariu Raducan 28 Jan '07

28 Jan '07

Hi all, Could somebody help me with this one? I Got 2 Edision switches and 4 quad LNBs to use it with 3 receivers (I still have the old switch). With the old switch (not Edision) everything works OK. With Edision switches no channel locks, the signal is not stable. I presume the problem is with diseqc.conf. I used the following 2 files that work with the old switch but not with the new ones: diseq-ab.conf # port 1 S5.0E 11700 V 9750 t v W15 [E0 10 23] W15 [E0 10 22] W15 t S5.0E 99999 V 10600 t v W15 [E0 10 23] W15 [E0 10 22] W15 T S5.0E 11700 H 9750 t V W15 [E0 10 23] W15 [E0 10 22] W15 t S5.0E 99999 H 10600 t V W15 [E0 10 23] W15 [E0 10 22] W15 T # port 2 S13.0E 11700 V 9750 t v W15 [E0 10 23] W15 [E0 10 26] W15 t S13.0E 99999 V 10600 t v W15 [E0 10 23] W15 [E0 10 26] W15 T S13.0E 11700 H 9750 t V W15 [E0 10 23] W15 [E0 10 26] W15 t S13.0E 99999 H 10600 t V W15 [E0 10 23] W15 [E0 10 26] W15 T # port 3 S16.0E 11700 V 9750 t v W15 [E0 10 27] W15 [E0 10 22] W15 t S16.0E 99999 V 10600 t v W15 [E0 10 27] W15 [E0 10 22] W15 T S16.0E 11700 H 9750 t V W15 [E0 10 27] W15 [E0 10 22] W15 t S16.0E 99999 H 10600 t V W15 [E0 10 27] W15 [E0 10 22] W15 T # port 4 S19.2E 11700 V 9750 t v W15 [E0 10 27] W15 [E0 10 26] W15 t S19.2E 99999 V 10600 t v W15 [E0 10 27] W15 [E0 10 26] W15 T S19.2E 11700 H 9750 t V W15 [E0 10 27] W15 [E0 10 26] W15 t S19.2E 99999 H 10600 t V W15 [E0 10 27] W15 [E0 10 26] W15 T diseq-full.conf S5.0E 11700 V 9750 t v W15 [E0 10 38 F0] W15 t S5.0E 99999 V 10600 t v W15 [E0 10 38 F1] W15 T S5.0E 11700 H 9750 t V W15 [E0 10 38 F2] W15 t S5.0E 99999 H 10600 t V W15 [E0 10 38 F3] W15 T S13E 11700 V 9750 t v W15 [E0 10 38 F4] W15 t S13E 99999 V 10600 t v W15 [E0 10 38 F5] W15 T S13E 11700 H 9750 t V W15 [E0 10 38 F6] W15 t S13E 99999 H 10600 t V W15 [E0 10 38 F7] W15 T S16.0E 11700 V 9750 t v W15 [E0 10 38 F8] W15 t S16.0E 99999 V 10600 t v W15 [E0 10 38 F9] W15 T S16.0E 11700 H 9750 t V W15 [E0 10 38 FA] W15 t S16.0E 99999 H 10600 t V W15 [E0 10 38 FB] W15 T S19.2E 11700 V 9750 t v W15 [E0 10 38 FC] W15 t S19.2E 99999 V 10600 t v W15 [E0 10 38 FD] W15 T S19.2E 11700 H 9750 t V W15 [E0 10 38 FE] W15 t S19.2E 99999 H 10600 t V W15 [E0 10 38 FF] W15 T Please help !!
