VDR and ComHem in Sweden?
by Reiner Bühl 21 Feb '14

21 Feb '14

Hi, I would be interested to know if somebody uses VDR with ComHem cable TV in Sweden. Is it possible to use the CAM and SmartCard with VDR if you have a subscription? If so, what DVB cards and CIs are recommended? NOTE: I am NOT asking how to crack it! I just want to use VDR instead of the receiver part of my TV. Best regards, Reiner

softhddevice and alsa dmixer
by Poubelle 13 Feb '14

I would use the same xbmc softhddevice time . It works with the command: svdrsend PLUG softhdevice ATTA But I have a problem with the sound output. Softhddevice only supports ALSA therefore no possibility of using PULSEAUDIO . I would like to share my SPDIF between XBMC and Softhddevice . I run vdr with the following command line : vdr -P'sofhddevice -v vdpau -v -a plughw : 0,1 ' My .asoundrc file : pcm.dmixer { type dmix ipc_key 2048 slave { pcm "hw:0,1" # Always use pure hw. dmix will reformat/resample audio. period_size 512 # If you get stuttering/or non-working audio, fiddle around with these buffer_size 4096 rate 48000 # HDMI, I'll assume 48kHz format S16_LE # Should be default for pretty much any soundcard. } bindings { 0 0 1 1 } } pcm.!default { type plug slave.pcm dmixer } My aplay -l output : **** Liste des Périphériques Matériels PLAYBACK **** carte 0: NVidia [HDA NVidia], périphérique 0: ALC1200 Analog [ALC1200 Analog] Sous-périphériques: 1/1 Sous-périphérique #0: subdevice #0 carte 0: NVidia [HDA NVidia], périphérique 1: ALC1200 Digital [ALC1200 Digital] Sous-périphériques: 1/1 Sous-périphérique #0: subdevice #0 carte 0: NVidia [HDA NVidia], périphérique 3: HDMI 0 [HDMI 0] Sous-périphériques: 1/1 Sous-périphérique #0: subdevice #0 The options are tested: XBMC SPDIF solfthddevice with -a plughw : 0.1 => XBMC OK, VDR no sound XBMC Default , solfthddevice with -a plughw : 0,1 => XBMC no sound, VDR OK XBMC Default ; solfthddevice with -a dmix => XBMC no sound, VDR OK The only solution that works is : XBMC SPDIF solfthddevice with -a plughw : 0,3 (HDMI) : OK XBMC , VDR OK but the HDMI sound on my TV is bad, this is why I like to have everything on the SPDIF.

How is this useful and how do I make it stop? Keeping UpdateChannels at 3 has been my non-solution for some years now but it's getting annoying when channels seem to change their settings so infuriatingly often.

Re: [vdr] aufs instead of mhddfs with vdr 2.1.2
by Jukka Pirinen 03 Feb '14

The situation happens when the files / dirs are spread under separate branches, for example when viewing recording and it creates resume file on different branch. Maybe that could avoided with creating policies? For a workaround, I made a simple reccmds script to rename the dir with mv command. It handles the situation where same dir exists in both branches by doing copyup. Maybe some checking should be added that dir really exists. #!/bin/bash echo Renaming $1 mv $1 ${1%.rec}.del echo touch .update touch /video/.update echo done

Streaming DVD contents from VDR?
by Marko Mäkelä 02 Feb '14

02 Feb '14

Hi, I have a minimal setup consisting of an old PC sitting in a different room, and a Samsung SmartTV in the living room. We rarely watch any DVDs in my family, so we do not have any dedicated DVD player. I used to use a DVD player plugin when the VDR PC was in the living room, attached to a TV, but I would prefer to have a mostly-headless setup (the VDR PC is only hooked to a VGA monitor, no sound output at the moment). I checked both the Streamdev plugin and the SmartTV plugin, but neither seem to support DVDs at the moment: http://projects.vdr-developer.org/projects/plg-streamdev/ http://projects.vdr-developer.org/projects/plg-smarttvweb/ I wonder if there is any easy solution to stream the contents of a disk in the DVD drive of the VDR PC over the local CAT5e cabling. I guess that an alternative solution could be to transcode the DVD into MPEG PS files, which could presumably be viewed on or streamed from VDR. Best regards, Marko

VDR test series about frame detector
by Eike 28 Jan '14

28 Jan '14

Hello! I need some help from VDR users - for variety reasons especially from those not in Germany. There's a glitch in the frame detection of VDR. It sometimes misses the first possibility to record a stream. It looks on frames of at least 5 * 188 bytes, and depending on the stream, sometimes 6 frames are needed. Trouble is, I'm not sure if 6 is enough for everybody. Thus I need your tests. You need ot be able to compile a VDR to help. First, in the VDR directory, you do a: > make Then you compile the attached C++ file (unziped, of course): > g++ -c framedetectortest.cpp Then you're linking it: g++ -o framedetectortest framedetectortest.o remux.o ringbuffer.o thread.o tools.o i18n.o sections.o channels.o device.o audio.o ci.o receiver.o transfer.o player.o osdbase.o status.o skins.o osd.o config.o font.o sources.o menu.o recording.o videodir.o timers.o epg.o dvbplayer.o menuitems.o remote.o keys.o interface.o plugin.o cutter.o themes.o svdrp.o eit.o eitscan.o shutdown.o filter.o sourceparams.o dvbsubtitle.o pat.o sdt.o nit.o dvbdevice.o diseqc.o recorder.o dvbci.o libsi/libsi.a -lfontconfig -lfreetype -lpthread -ldl - ljpeg Now you've got an application called framedetectortest, which you can feed your vdr recordings (*.ts files) to: > ./framedetectortest 00002.ts The output looks about like this: Checking file at offset 0 Without frame limit... Found I frame after 99452 bytes With frame limit 5... Found I frame after 220336 bytes With frame limit 6... Found I frame after 99452 bytes TS package frame size needed for this video block: 6 Maximum TS package frame size needed for this video recording: 6 I need reports which number your stream resulted in (the "Maximum TS package frame size") and what you've tested (Cable? Satellite? Terrestrical? HD, SD? Your country?). The result is interesting even if it is 5 or 6. Thanks in advance, Eike

[ANNOUNCE] VDR developer version 2.1.4
by Klaus Schmidinger 26 Jan '14

26 Jan '14

VDR developer version 2.1.4 is now available at ftp://ftp.tvdr.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-2.1.4.tar.bz2 A 'diff' against the previous version is available at ftp://ftp.tvdr.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-2.1.3-2.1.4.diff MD5 checksums: e1018c13dc257c986e0e30494913b415 vdr-2.1.4.tar.bz2 870f6f03f4697d136c886358c3be4277 vdr-2.1.3-2.1.4.diff WARNING: ======== This is a *developer* version. Even though *I* use it in my productive environment, I strongly recommend that you only use it under controlled conditions and for testing and debugging. The changes since version 2.1.3: - Updated 'sources.conf' (thanks to Antti Hartikainen). - cFont::CreateFont() now returns a dummy font in case there are no fonts installed. This prevents a crash with the LCARS skin on a system that has no fonts. - Improved locking for CAM slots and made the pure functions of cCiAdapter have default implementations, to fix a possible crash with CI adapters and CAM slots that are implemented in a plugin. - Added logging the supported system ids of a CAM. - Increased MIN_TS_PACKETS_FOR_FRAME_DETECTOR to 10 in order to be able to record channels that need more than 5 TS packets for detecting frame borders (reported by Eike Sauer). - Fixed deleting the source recording after moving it to a different volume (reported by Christoph Haubrich). - Now waiting explicitly until all CAM slots are ready before switching to the initial channel when VDR is started. This is necessary in case CI adapters are used that are not physically connected to a dedicated device. The respective checks in cDvbDevice have been removed to avoid redundancy. - Fixed detecting frame borders in MPEG-2 streams that have "bottom fields" or varying GOP structures (reported by Christian Paulick, with help from Helmut Auer). - Now unassigning CAMs from their devices when they are no longer used. - Now making sure the primary device goes into transfer mode for live viewing if the CAM wants to receive the TS data. - Fixed a wrong alignment in cCiDateTime::SendDateTime(). - Since the new cRecordingsHandler that was introduced in version 2.1.2 not only handles "cutting", but also "moving" and "copying" recordings, the German word "Schnitt" has been replaced with the more generic "Bearbeitung", which covers all three variations of "editing" a recording (suggested by Christoph Haubrich). Maintainers of translations for other languages may want to change their *.po files accordingly. - The new function cStatus::ChannelChange() can be implemented by plugins to be informed about changes to the parameters of a channel that may require a retune. This may, for instance, be useful for plugins that implement live streaming, so that they can react on changes to a channel's PIDs or CA descriptors (problem reported by Mariusz Bialonczyk). - Fixed a superfluous call to the skin's SetRecording() function after renaming a recording (reported by Christoph Haubrich). Have fun! Klaus
