[ANNOUNCE] VDR maintenance patch 1.4.4-2
by Klaus Schmidinger 03 Dec '06

03 Dec '06

VDR maintenance patch 1.4.4-2 is now available at ftp://ftp.cadsoft.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-1.4.4-2.diff This is a 'diff' against version 1.4.4-1 (which is the official version 1.4.4, patched with ftp://ftp.cadsoft.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-1.4.4-1.diff). Small fixes to the officially released VDR versions will be first made available as "maintenance patches" in the Developer directory, so that they can be reviewed and tested before a new official release is published. So please apply the above patch and report whether it works (or if it causes any new problems). Since the removal of the 'uint64' typedef has caused some turmoil amoung the plugin users/authors, this quick patch introduces a define that makes 'uint64' available again This patch also uses the previous naming scheme again, which I had messed up in the 1.4.4-1 patch. The changes since version 1.4.4-1: - Added '#include <stdint.h>' to font.h (reported by Peter Pinnau). - Added a compatibility define for 'uint64' to tools.h, so that existing plugins don't need to be modified immediately (reported by Suur Karu). This will be removed in version 1.5. Have fun! Klaus

[ANNOUNCE] Remote Control Plugin 0.3.9
by Oliver Endriss 03 Dec '06

03 Dec '06

Hi, there is an update for the remote control plugin. History: -------- 2006-12-03: Version 0.3.9 - Added Russian language texts (thanks to Waldemar Nikel). - Replaced uint64 by uint64_t for APIVERSION >= 1.4.5. It can be downloaded from http://www.escape-edv.de/endriss/vdr/ See README for details. Short description: ------------------ This plugin extends the remote control capabilities of vdr. The following remote control devices are supported: (a) linux input device driver ('/dev/input/eventX', X=0,1,2,...) - built-in remote control port of the av711x-based DVB cards (aka full-featured cards), e.g. DVB-S Nexus [1] - remote control port of some budget cards, e.g. Nova-CI [2] - other input devices (not tested, please report success!) See file FAQ for a list of cards which have been reported to work. (b) keyboard (tty driver): /dev/console, /dev/ttyX (c) TCP connection (telnet) (d) LIRC Notes: [1] supported by DVB and dvb-kernel [2] supported by dvb-kernel only Summary of command line options: -------------------------------- -i dev, --input=dev select device which supports the /dev/input protocol -l dev, --lirc=dev select LIRC device -t dev, --tty=dev select terminal device -T dev, --TTY=dev select terminal device with 'OSD' -p tcp:n, --port=tcp:n select connection on tcp port <n> Examples: --------- vdr -Premote vdr -P"remote -i autodetect" Try to autodetect device '/dev/input/eventX' (X = 0,1,2,...). If no device can be identified, '-i /dev/input/event0' is used. vdr -P"remote -i /dev/input/event2" use specified input device '/dev/input/event2' vdr -P"remote -l /dev/lircd" select LIRC remote control vdr -P"remote -p tcp:3333" wait for a telnet connection on tcp port 3333 (use 'telnet vdr 3333' to access this port) vdr -P"remote -t /dev/tty10" use terminal device without 'OSD' vdr -P"remote -T /dev/tty10" use terminal device with 'OSD' vdr -P"remote -i autodetect -p tcp:3333 -t /dev/tty10" use multiple devices Have fun, Oliver -- -------------------------------------------------------- VDR Remote Plugin 0.3.9 available at http://www.escape-edv.de/endriss/vdr/ --------------------------------------------------------

Problem with vdr-1.4.4-1 and extrecmenu
by Peter Pinnau 03 Dec '06

03 Dec '06

I just applied the vdr-1.4.4-1 maintainance patch and some plugins failed to compile. I could fix all problems within the plugins except for extrecmenu. I got the following error: In file included from patchfont.c:5: ../../../include/vdr/font.h:35: error: ISO C++ forbids declaration of `uint32_t ' with no type ../../../include/vdr/font.h:35: error: Syntaxfehler before `;' token and so on... I found out that on my Debian-system uint32_t is declared in /usr/include/stdint.h. After including that file in include/vdr/font.h extrecmenu compiled again. Regards Peter

recording 2 channels, D-D, A-A, D-A
by Csillag Kristof 02 Dec '06

02 Dec '06

Hi there! I would like to ask your advice about some video capture cards. I would like to set up a linux box which can simultaneously record two channels; in the following three combinations: - Both channels are DVB-T - Both channels are analogue TV - One channel is DVB-T, the other is analogue. * * * Question 1: I have found the following card on the internet: "Pinnacle PCTV Dual Hybrid Pro PCIe". This card seems to be able to to this (not 100% sure, the specification is somewhat vague), but I could not find any information about linux support. Does anybody have any information about this card? Is it supported by any linux driver? (Or is it going to be?) If it's not supported, could someone please recommend me a similar (but supported) card? * * * Question 2: If currently no such card is available, then I must switch to plan B. That is to achieve the same using two input cards. (Of course this would cost more, and because of the necessary antenna splitting, there would be a penalty in signal quality, too.) In this case, I can imagine two combinations: B.1 A dual analogue card (like Hauppauge PVR-500) + A dual DVB-T card (like Hauppauge Nova-T 500) B.2 Two hybrid cards (like Hauppauge HVR-1100 or HVR-1300 or even HVR-3000) Which of the above two solution would you consider better? And which cards should I buy to implement it? If I go with B.1, I would (theoretically) be able to simultaneously record two analogue and two digital streams. Is this really possible? If yes, how strong hardware do I need to do this? Thank you for your help! Kristof -- Csillag Kristof <fenwick(a)freemail.hu>

Problem to get vdr-to-vdr streaming working...
by Juha Pahkala 30 Nov '06

30 Nov '06

I've been trying to get vdr-to-vdr (both version 1.4.4) streaming working with streamdev (cvs from last sunday) for the past couple of days. I've tweaked the different settings but can't get the streaming to work. As a side note, http streaming is working without problems, so there's something I've done correctly. Anyhow, when trying to stream vdr-to-vdr, this is what I get on the server side: Nov 21 18:04:08 remote vdr: [7517] Streamdev: Accepted new client (VTP) 192.168.0.119:37794 Nov 21 18:04:19 remote vdr: [7517] Streamdev: Setting data connection to 192.168.0.119:44312 And this is on the client side: Nov 21 18:04:06 localhost vdr: [5870] VDR version 1.4.4 started Nov 21 18:04:06 localhost vdr: [5870] loading plugin: ./PLUGINS/lib/libvdr-softdevice.so.1.4.4 Nov 21 18:04:07 localhost vdr: [5870] loading plugin: ./PLUGINS/lib/libvdr-streamdev-client.so.1.4.4 Nov 21 18:04:07 localhost vdr: [5870] loading /home/user/.vdr/video/setup.conf Nov 21 18:04:07 localhost vdr: [5870] ERROR: unknown config parameter: softdevice.Postprocess Method = 0 Nov 21 18:04:07 localhost vdr: [5870] ERROR: unknown config parameter: softdevice.Postprocess Quality = 0 Nov 21 18:04:07 localhost vdr: [5870] loading /home/user/.vdr/video/sources.conf Nov 21 18:04:07 localhost vdr: [5870] loading /home/user/.vdr/video/channels.conf Nov 21 18:04:07 localhost vdr: [5870] loading /home/user/.vdr/video/remote.conf Nov 21 18:04:07 localhost vdr: [5870] reading EPG data from /home/user/.vdr/video/epg.data Nov 21 18:04:07 localhost vdr: [5871] video directory scanner thread started (pid=5870, tid=5871) Nov 21 18:04:07 localhost vdr: [5872] video directory scanner thread started (pid=5870, tid=5872) Nov 21 18:04:07 localhost vdr: [5871] video directory scanner thread ended (pid=5870, tid=5871) Nov 21 18:04:07 localhost vdr: [5872] video directory scanner thread ended (pid=5870, tid=5872) Nov 21 18:04:07 localhost vdr: [5870] no DVB device found Nov 21 18:04:07 localhost vdr: [5870] initializing plugin: softdevice (0.3.1): A software emulated MPEG2 device Nov 21 18:04:07 localhost vdr: [5870] [XvVideoOut]: patch version (2006-11-05) Nov 21 18:04:07 localhost vdr: [5870] [XvVideoOut]: Initialize XShmCreateImage Successful (0xb65bbcd0) Nov 21 18:04:07 localhost vdr: [5870] [XvVideoOut]: Initialize shmget Successful (2949120 bytes) Nov 21 18:04:07 localhost vdr: [5870] [XvVideoOut]: Initialize shmat Successful Nov 21 18:04:08 localhost vdr: [5870] [softdevice-xscreensaver]: xscreensaver not running Nov 21 18:04:08 localhost vdr: [5870] [XvVideoOut]: initialized OK Nov 21 18:04:08 localhost vdr: [5870] [XvVideoOut]: Intel(R) Video Overlay: available ports 73 - 73 Nov 21 18:04:08 localhost vdr: [5870] [XvVideoOut]: grabbed port 73 Nov 21 18:04:08 localhost vdr: [5870] [XvVideoOut]: max area size 1920 x 1080 Nov 21 18:04:08 localhost vdr: [5870] [XvVideoOut]: using area size 736 x 576 Nov 21 18:04:08 localhost vdr: [5870] [XvVideoOut]: XV_COLORKEY XvGettable XvSettable ( 0 [0x00000000] - 16777215 [0x00ffffff]) ( 66046 [0x000101fe] Nov 21 18:04:08 localhost vdr: [5870] [XvVideoOut]: XV_BRIGHTNESS XvGettable XvSettable ( -128 [0xffffff80] - 127 [0x0000007f]) ( 0 [0x00000000] Nov 21 18:04:08 localhost vdr: [5870] [XvVideoOut]: XV_CONTRAST XvGettable XvSettable ( 0 [0x00000000] - 255 [0x000000ff]) ( 64 [0x00000040] Nov 21 18:04:08 localhost vdr: [5870] [XvVideoOut]: XV_DOUBLE_BUFFER XvGettable XvSettable ( 0 [0x00000000] - 1 [0x00000001]) ( 1 [0x00000001] Nov 21 18:04:08 localhost vdr: [5870] [XvVideoOut]: XV_GAMMA0 XvGettable XvSettable ( 0 [0x00000000] - 16777215 [0x00ffffff]) ( 526344 [0x00080808] Nov 21 18:04:08 localhost vdr: [5870] [XvVideoOut]: XV_GAMMA1 XvGettable XvSettable ( 0 [0x00000000] - 16777215 [0x00ffffff]) ( 1052688 [0x00101010] Nov 21 18:04:08 localhost vdr: [5870] [XvVideoOut]: XV_GAMMA2 XvGettable XvSettable ( 0 [0x00000000] - 16777215 [0x00ffffff]) ( 2105376 [0x00202020] Nov 21 18:04:08 localhost vdr: [5870] [XvVideoOut]: XV_GAMMA3 XvGettable XvSettable ( 0 [0x00000000] - 16777215 [0x00ffffff]) ( 4210752 [0x00404040] Nov 21 18:04:08 localhost vdr: [5870] [XvVideoOut]: XV_GAMMA4 XvGettable XvSettable ( 0 [0x00000000] - 16777215 [0x00ffffff]) ( 8421504 [0x00808080] Nov 21 18:04:08 localhost vdr: [5870] [XvVideoOut]: XV_GAMMA5 XvGettable XvSettable ( 0 [0x00000000] - 16777215 [0x00ffffff]) (12632256 [0x00c0c0c0] Nov 21 18:04:08 localhost vdr: [5870] [XvVideoOut]: XvShmCreateImage Successful (0xb65bc5a8) Nov 21 18:04:08 localhost vdr: [5870] [XvVideoOut]: shmget Successful (0 bytes) Nov 21 18:04:08 localhost vdr: [5870] [XvVideoOut]: shmat Successful Nov 21 18:04:08 localhost vdr: [5870] [XvVideoOut]: XShmAttach rc = 1 (should be OK) Nov 21 18:04:08 localhost vdr: [5870] [softdevice] videoOut OK !

Freecom DVB-T stick - can't open filter handle on demux0
by Gavin Hamill 27 Nov '06

27 Nov '06

Just a bit of a nudge - I thought I'd try this again with a newer kernel and VDR (2.6.17 in Ubuntu edgy and VDR 1.4.4) in case something small and subtle had been fixed. Alas no, the original problem still stands as-is: http://www.linuxtv.org/pipermail/vdr/2006-July/010115.html I've made an even more rudimentary setup of vanilla VDR + skincurses plugin. No FF card, no output devices.. just a curses console and I still regularly get Nov 27 22:26:26 plip vdr: [10131] ERROR: can't open filter handle on '/dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0' on channel changes - `lsof -n | grep demux` still shows only 8 or 9 file descriptors open :( A shame, I'd love to have VDR working with this device - does anyone have any advice, since it works just great in Kaffeine! Cheers, Gavin.
