Explaining VPS
by Suur Karu 17 Jun '06

17 Jun '06

Hi, all! Please explain me how VPS works in VDR? I reside in GMT+2 (+3h in summertime) timezone and when watching for example ZDF EPG shows correct time, but VPS reports +1h. Is it transmitted in localtime? Example: EPG: 06.06.2006 21:15-22:00 (45 min) VPS: 06.06 20:14 and as result +1:01 Is it correct? Regards, SK

False "video data stream broken"
by Darren Salt 17 Jun '06

17 Jun '06

Situation: an incomplete recording of a programme on BBC Three. The recording was started just before the changeover between CBBC and BBC3, and I use a recording margin of three minutes; the recording was started at 18:57. I should mention that these two channels share the same VPID and APIDs, and here is a short interval in which nothing is being broadcast on those PIDs. I also have the channel update set for names only (altering this setting is not an option). This usually does not cause a problem. This time, however... The "video data stream broken" timeout was reached, resulting in an emergency exit. Of course, vdr can't be restarted immediately, and runvdr (mine) decided to sleep for five minutes because of too many restart attempts in too short a time... whoops, there go the first few minutes of the programme which I wanted to record... Maybe I should put in a short delay in runvdr.c to make this less likely. Or I could increase MAXBROKENTIMEOUT. Or perhaps VDR should be fixed so as not to assume that no data == broken stream if it can receive *any* other data from the same multiplex, or maybe channels could be individually protected against updates...? -- | Darren Salt | linux or ds at | nr.

Hi, does anybody had a problem to compile vdr-1.4.0/1.4.1 with next error make[1]: *** No rule to make target `sys/capability.h', needed by `vdr.o'. Stop. a quick check gives next locate capability.h /usr/include/linux/capability.h if I modify vdr.c to look for linux/capability.h instead sys/capability.h I am getting next error g++ -g -O2 -Wall -Woverloaded-virtual -c -DREMOTE_KBD -DLIRC_DEVICE=\"/dev/lircd\" -DRCU_DEVICE=\"/dev/ttyS1\" -D_GNU_SOURCE -DVIDEODIR=\"/video\" -DPLUGINDIR=\"./PLUGINS/lib\" vdr.c vdr.c: In function 'bool SetCapSysTime()': vdr.c:116: error: 'cap_t' was not declared in this scope vdr.c:116: error: expected `;' before 'caps' vdr.c:117: error: 'caps' was not declared in this scope vdr.c:121: error: 'caps' was not declared in this scope vdr.c:121: error: 'cap_set_proc' was not declared in this scope vdr.c:123: error: 'cap_free' was not declared in this scope vdr.c:126: error: 'caps' was not declared in this scope vdr.c:126: error: 'cap_free' was not declared in this scope make[1]: *** [vdr.o] Error 1 System: OS: Mandriva 2006 (tried Mandriva 2005 with same error) Kernel: 2.6.12-12mdk DVB card: Nexus-S CPU: Athlon 1200 It looks like vdr-1.4.0/1.4.1 doesn't like my capability.h and I can not find what could be a solution. Is there requirements for newer version of kernel? Thanks, Andy

streamdev-server for 1.4.1
by Gavin Hamill 16 Jun '06

16 Jun '06

Sorry to bore you all with this old topic, but is there anyone who has a working tarball of vdr-1.4.1/PLUGINS/src/streamdev they could send me? I've spent the last 20 minutes with Google trying to pick my way through German wiki/forum posts without success :( If it contains support for the 'Extern' URL form to pipe the TS through /root/externremux.sh, that'd be perfect! :) Cheers, Gavin.

Mailing List Etiquette
by Clemens Kirchgatterer 15 Jun '06

15 Jun '06

This is the 'official' and updated vdr-mailing-list-etiquette-reminder. Please take this as a serious advice. Take the time to read it, especially if you are new to mailinglists in general. E-mail formatting ================= Mailing list email should fit the following criteria: DO == * Trim quoted material to the minimum needed to clarify what you're talking about. * Add a blank line _before_ and _after_ each quote for better readability. * Make sure you are attributing material to the correct person (i.e. make sure the "On 19/07/2002, Joe Bloggs said:" is correct) * Write your responses _after_ the quoted text, not before. If your mail client makes it difficult to do this, get a new one. * Make sure lines are wrapped at maximum 76 characters (to fit an 80 character wide screen), even if the text had been quotet several times. * Use the correct number of ">" characters at the start of each quoted line. * Set your mail client to "english headers" to avoid subjects like: "AW: Antwort: Re: AW: AW: AW: Re: Some Topic allready trunkated" If you see one, don't just add another "Re:" but remove all "AW:" and other chained "Re:". * Use a descriptive subject! A message titled "A small wish" doesn't tell what it is about. Better use something like "should do xyz" or "crashes when doing xyz". * If the topic of the thread changed/degrades meanwhile, change the subject too. That means: Before you start to answer, have a look into the subject your are going to reply to. For example use: New topic [WAS] old topic * Always write one separate message per topic. some people (especially those who matter) might not read mixed-up and lengthy threads. * Start a new thread when posting a new subject. * Make emails as short as possible whilst keeping them comprehensible. Don't ===== * Don't post in either HTML-only or in Text and HTML. If your mail client doesn't support this, change it. * Don't top post. * Don't give a one line answer having quoted the whole post. * Don't use a too long signature. Approx. 4 lines should always be enought. * Don't reply where you should have started a new thread. This means, make sure that you're not responding to an existing posting. Just changing the subject header and deleting any quoted text is NOT enough, because the message's header will still contain references to other messages. * Don't break threads by sending a new mail, where you should have replied. * Don't test post. Send your test posts to "echo(a)fu-berlin.de" or similar reply machines. * Don't use lengthly disclaimers. If not possible, use a freemail account. * Don't quote disclaimers and other footers. General Etiquette ================= This can really be summed up in one phrase - 'be polite'. Allways use your 'Real Name' when posting to mailinglists or newsgroups. If you think something is off-topic, don't reply to the list although you may want to send a short and *polite* note to the person privately telling them which list would be more appropriate; don't just say - "that is OT here". Before asking a question, please Have a look at the mailing list archives at http://www.linuxtv.org/pipermail/vdr/ If someone flames or trolls the list, don't reply - it wastes everyones bandwidth and time. Don't reply to spam which gets through to the list - just ignore it when it does. Resources ========= * The ultimate guide to most matters to do with email etiquette is RFC-2822 which can be found at: ftp://ftp.isi.edu/in-notes/rfc2822.txt * A german site set up by some usenet-people, who take it even more serious with netiquette. http://learn.to/quote

Grab image failed

Maybe not thr right place to ask for but I do not get the GRAB command working with latest mercurial drivers. I have a Nexus-S FF-card. GRAB works with drivers from kernel 2.6.16. Latest drivers from mercurial repository do not work. To update the repository I did the following root@fontina:/usr/src/v4l-dvb# hg pull root@fontina:/usr/src/v4l-dvb# hg update root@fontina:/usr/src/v4l-dvb# make root@fontina:/usr/src/v4l-dvb# make install modules under /lib/modules/2.6.16 are updated and after rebooting GRAB does not work anymore ;) Best regards Peter
