[Patch] Cannot delete last char in insert mode
by Udo Richter 30 Jul '06

30 Jul '06

Hi list, I've fixed a small editing bug: For menu string edit items, when in insert mode, its impossible to delete the last character of the string. Steps to reproduce: - Go into some edit field: [A]BCDEF - Switch to insert mode : []ABCDEF - Move into the string : ABC[]DEF - Press yellow key : ABC[]EF - Press yellow key : ABC[]F - Press yellow key : ABC[]F - nothing happens. This doesn't happen if you move the cursor to the end once, as this will insert a blind space: ABCDEF[]_ The attached patch fixes this in one possible way: It deletes the last char, but keeps the cursor position by inserting a whitespace: ABC[]F -> ABC[]_ Without the whitespace, the cursor would have to move in an ugly way: ABC[]F -> AB[]C -> A[]B -> []A -> []_ The implementation requires another quirk: To do the delete-towards-left at the end of the string, just as the overwrite mode does, the delete key behaves differently if it deletes a final whitespace: Instead of deleting the whitespace, the second last char is deleted: ABC[]F -> ABC[]_ -> AB[]_ -> A[]_ -> []_ Cheers, Udo --- vdr-1.4.1-2-orig/menuitems.c 2006-07-24 00:24:25.176897944 +0200 +++ vdr-1.4.1/menuitems.c 2006-07-24 01:19:52.383818056 +0200 @@ -395,6 +399,16 @@ if (strlen(value) > 1) { if (!insert || pos < int(strlen(value)) - 1) memmove(value + pos, value + pos + 1, strlen(value) - pos); + else if (insert && pos == int(strlen(value)) - 1) { + // in insert mode, deleting the last char replaces it with whitespace to keep cursor pos + if (value[pos] != ' ' || pos < 1) + value[pos] = ' '; + else { + // unless the last char is already a whitespace + value[pos-1] = ' '; + value[pos] = 0; + } + } // reduce position, if we removed the last character if (pos == int(strlen(value))) pos--;

More flexibility with fonts
by daliman 27 Jul '06

27 Jul '06

Hi, i describe my question in german. I hope somebody can help me. Ich möchte die Fontgröße in den OSD-Menüs und z.B. der Programminfo separat einstellen können. Dazu müsste ich wissen wie man abfragen kann ob man sich in Menüs oder z.B. der Programmliste, Channelliste etc. befindet. So könnte ich einen vierten Font erstellen den man dann separat für Menüs auswählen kann. Gruß, DaLiMan

Writing a VDR frontend
by CR 27 Jul '06

27 Jul '06

Hi, I'm considering writing a frontend for VDR that talks to it via SVDRP. How does : 1. One grab the OSD data ? 2. Grab the (demuxed?) audio/video stream? For the OSD data I've looked in osd.h but wasn't sure how a client application hooks VDR's OSD. Any documents or code examples would be appreciate. Thanks. CR. P.S. Maybe I'm a fool taking this on, who knows...

Compile error with VDR and latest drivers
by Stone 27 Jul '06

27 Jul '06

Hi, I was rebuilding my kernel to 2.6.17.7 and decided to update the dvb drivers (from the latest HG repository) at the same time. After that, I cant seem to build vdr-1.4.1-2 any longer. Has anyone seen this? dvbdevice.c: In member function `virtual uchar* cDvbDevice::GrabImage(int&, bool, int, int, int)': dvbdevice.c:553: error: aggregate `video_mbuf mbuf' has incomplete type and cannot be defined dvbdevice.c:554: error: `VIDIOCGMBUF' was not declared in this scope dvbdevice.c:559: error: aggregate `video_capability vc' has incomplete type and cannot be defined dvbdevice.c:560: error: `VIDIOCGCAP' was not declared in this scope dvbdevice.c:561: error: aggregate `video_mmap vm' has incomplete type and cannot be defined dvbdevice.c:572: error: `VIDEO_PALETTE_RGB24' was not declared in this scope dvbdevice.c:573: error: `VIDIOCMCAPTURE' was not declared in this scope dvbdevice.c:573: error: `VIDIOCSYNC' was not declared in this scope dvbdevice.c:573: warning: unused variable 'VIDIOCMCAPTURE' dvbdevice.c:573: warning: unused variable 'VIDIOCSYNC' dvbdevice.c:572: warning: unused variable 'VIDEO_PALETTE_RGB24' dvbdevice.c:560: warning: unused variable 'VIDIOCGCAP' dvbdevice.c:554: warning: unused variable 'VIDIOCGMBUF' make: *** [dvbdevice.o] Error 1 Best Regards,

adjusting LIRC key repeats
by Simon Baxter 26 Jul '06

26 Jul '06

Hi, I've just switched to an LIRC based remote to control VDR, but find the key repeat time annoying for scrolling down long menus or tracking through a video clip. The key repeat is too long! I've had a suggestion that I should adjust the 'repeat' value in the .lircc file - but I don't have one of these! I found a link talking about using lirc to control linux applications: "The configuration is done with the ~/.lircrc file: begin remote = <your remote> button = <your button> prog = irexec repeat = 0 config = /usr/local/bin/mozilla -mail end"but this doesn't apply to VDR well.Can I use lircc to adjust my repeat time??

channels.conf by channel number NOT position
by Simon Baxter 26 Jul '06

26 Jul '06

Is there any way to select the channel NUMBER rather than it's position in channels.conf? For instance, I want to select channels 55 and 99, but not channels.conf descriptors 55 and 99. While we're on the subject, can you also suppress the 'position' number in channels.conf? My OSD looks like this: 15 99 CBUT I'd much rather just hit '99' and get CBUT. Not have to scroll between channel entries. Any ideas?

[ANNOUNCE] New plugin epgsync-0.0.1
by Frank Schmirler 25 Jul '06

25 Jul '06

This new plugin allow you to import the EPG of an other VDR. It has been developed with pure VDR-to-VDR streaming clients in mind, in case you cannot (or don't want to) mount the server epg.data on the client. However there might be other cases where it is useful. Features: - Separate thread - works in the background - Triggered when plugin starts and/or by main menu entry - Works with SVDRP and VTP - Two sync modes. The slow mode allows sharing the SVDRP connection with other local plugins. Epgsync requires the svdrpservice plugin in its current version (0.0.2). Epgsearch and svdrpservice are both available at http://vdr.schmirler.de. Enjoy, Frank

SVDRP ignores EOF (clientside close)
by Frank Schmirler 25 Jul '06

25 Jul '06

Hi, I would like to raise an issue with SVDRP. When the client doesn't send QUIT but simply closes the connection, VDR happily ignores the EOF returned by read. The socket will remain in state CLOSE_WAIT until it's finally closed due to the SVDRP timeout. In the meantime the SVDRP port remains blocked for other clients. I think the way it was implemented until vdr-1.2.1 was correct. Then a broken pipe problem was reported (http://linvdr.org/mailinglists/vdr/2003/07/msg00254.html) and the implementation of cSVDRP::Process was modified to the way which is still used in 1.4.1. The way it is implemented now is IMHO broken. So I would suggest to return to the way it was initially implemented or - if someone has an idea where broken pipes might come from - find a better way to fix it. Maybe the broken pipes at that time even had a totally different cause? Code <= 1.2.1: while (file.Ready(false)) { unsigned char c; int r = safe_read(file, &c, 1); if (r > 0) { ... } else if (r <= 0) { isyslog("lost connection to SVDRP client"); Close(); } } Code >= 1.2.4 while (file.Ready(false)) { unsigned char c; int r = safe_read(file, &c, 1); if (r > 0) { ... } else if (r < 0) { isyslog("lost connection to SVDRP client"); Close(); } else break; } Cheers, Frank

Proccess kdvb-fe-1 eats all my cpu resources

Hi, Since about two years I use my vdr system with an epia-m board with 600MHz CPUand an old Technotrend Rev. 1.3 full feature card.
