SVDRP Messages to OSD
by Mlists 09 Apr '06

09 Apr '06

I'm trying to write a little program that sends caller id from another box to my vdr box. I can send messages through svdrp with no problems but how do I make the message multiple lines? I tried the typical \n and that doesn't do anything. Also, can I change the font size via svdrp? Thanks Norm

[ANNOUNCE] VDR developer version 1.3.46
by Klaus Schmidinger 09 Apr '06

09 Apr '06

VDR developer version 1.3.46 is now available at ftp://ftp.cadsoft.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-1.3.46.tar.bz2 A 'diff' against the previous version is available at ftp://ftp.cadsoft.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-1.3.45-46.diff I hope I have now fixed all remaining problems with VPS timers. VDR will now retune to the transponder needed for a VPS timer in case the user switches it away. It should also work if more than one VPS timer hits its VPS margin (it then uses different devices for the individual timers). So please keep an eye on VPS recordings and report any irregularities you might observe. Please make sure you provide a proper log excerpt, with logging set to --log=3 (the default) for maximum information. You also may want to make sure that all of VDR's log messages go into *one* file (on some systems log messages are spread into several files, which makes it hard to use the data in order to track down a bug). The final step remaining, before I'll call it version 1.4, is the automatic audio track selection during replay. I hope to get this done over the next weekend... The changes since version 1.3.45 - Fixed handling broken PMT records (thanks to Marcel Wiesweg for pointing out how to detect these). - Added a missing "Button$" for the Timer button and "Key$" in skinclassic.c (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - Fixed broken entry 'A111.1W' in sources.conf (reported by Luca Olivetti). - Replaced the obsolete entry 'S21.5E' in the default 'diseqc.conf' with 'S13.0E' (reported by Ville Skyttä). - Fixed learning keys when VDR is already running (thanks to Jurij Retzlaff). - Fixed handling the system time transponder setting in the Setup/EPG menu, which was broken by the min/max fix in cMenuEditIntItem. - VPS timers now record only events that have exactly the given start time. This fix also implements recording several subsequent events that have the same VPS time (like a sports event with intermittent news breaks). - When checking for timers that have entered the "VPS margin", any free devices are now used to switch to the needed transponder. This improves cases where more than one VPS timer is about to start. - Fixed handling the VPS margin in case the event's duration is shorter than the margin. - Fixed handling VPS timers in case the primary device needs to switch to the timer's transponder. - Now avoiding the 'actual' device when starting a recording, so that a Transfer Mode for live tv isn't interrupted. - Fixed a typo in skins.h (thanks to Alexander Rieger). - cSkins::QueueMessage() called from a background thread with an empty message now clears all messages that have been previously queued by that thread and have not yet beed displayed (thanks to Alexander Rieger). - Fixed handling the color button texts when switching from the 'Schedule' menu of a channel without EPG info to the 'What's on now' menu (reported by Rolf Ahrenberg). - cMenuEditIntItem and cMenuEditChanItem can now be given strings to label the minimum and maximum values, and the case that no channel has been selected, respectively. - The initial channel and volume can now be defined in the "Setup/Miscellaneous" menu (based on a patch from Thomas Keil). - When hitting the end of a recording in fast forward mode, VDR no longer switches back to normal speed if the recording is already finished (thanks to Reinhard Nissl). - No longer calling cPlugin::ProcessArgs() if VDR is run with the --help or --version option, to avoid error messages from plugins (reported by Udo Richter). - Now checking whether there is any text before calling cStatus::MsgOsdTextItem() (reported by Joachim Wilke). Have fun! Klaus

*** glibc detected *** double free or corruption
by C.Y.M 09 Apr '06

09 Apr '06

On occasion, when stopping VDR, I get the following error in my console: *** glibc detected *** double free or corruption (!prev): 0x081f33c0 *** This error has to do with installing the new version of glibc (2.3.6-5) with VDR. Has anyone else noticed this? BR.

Record Audio channels?
by Mlists 08 Apr '06

08 Apr '06

Is there a plugin that will allow me to record audio channels to mp3 or similar? It would be good too if it recognized 'silence' to start a new file. Norm

Can't connect to vdr (xine)
by Gregoire Favre 08 Apr '06

08 Apr '06

Hello, from time to time, I have the message : - xine engine error - There is no input plugin available to handle `vdr:/tmp/vdr-xine/stream#demux:mpeg_pes`. Maybe MRL syntax is wrong or file/stream source doesn't exist. And /tmp/vdr-xine/ doesn't exist ??? But xine plugin is running... -- Grégoire FAVRE http://gregoire.favre.googlepages.com

Hi, you can download the latest release at http://andreas.vdr-developer.org/en The French translation is currently outdated and unmaintained. If someone wants to continue that work please drop me a line! Translations to other unsupported languages are welcome too! Simply drop me a line before you start so that not two persons start the same thing. Have fun! Andreas *** HISTORY *** 2006-04-07: 3.4.4 - Fixed: reccmds didn't run if recording contained special characters (Reported by Ronny Kornexl). - Fixed: remember "unlimited" number of lines to show in vdr_cmds (Reported by Ronny Kornexl). - Changed: set "help" as default in vdr_cmds SVDRP command (Requested by Ronny Kornexl). 2006-03-30: 3.4.4rc - Fixed: new TV grabbing introduced with beta2 (Many thanks to horchi for reporting and testing). - Changed: check if a timer to be programmed by an AutoTimer already exists (Requested by several people). - Added: display AutoTimer information in timer's edit view (Somehow requested by MarkusE). - Fixed: recordings/timers/autotimers containing double-quotes couldn't be deleted (Reported by The Unknown). 2006-03-14: 3.4.4beta2 - Reworked TV grabbing. - Added optional parameters for TV for use with external tools: http://vdradmin-am.ip?aktion=tv_show&size=[full|half|quarter]&interval=[0| 1|2|3|5|10|30|60]&tv_only=bla - Fixed program switching in prog_summary, prog_list and prog_detail (Based on suggestions by kayser). - New: buttons to move to previous/next day in timers_list (Requested by BigDiSt). - Moved "help" menu into "about" menu. - Added VDR's "commands.conf" conntent to select box in navigation menu. - Changed defaults for "autotimer checking" in timers as they had been in v3.4.3. - New button on remote controls: Mute (Requested by Rüdiger Jung and Hardy Flor). - Timeline in timer_list will show timers of current day even if a timer starts the day before (Reported by Hardy Flor). 2006-03-08: 3.4.4beta - Added script "convert.sh" to convert the AutoTimer information in VDR's timers.conf to the new format (see "convert.sh" for usage). - Use the summary/aux timer field to store AutoTimer information to be compatible to VDR v1.3.44 and later. - Removed "Add summary to new timers" option. The EPG summary is no longer copied to the timer's summary/aux field (for VDR 1.3.44+) or always copied (VDR 1.3.43-). - Made summary textfield readonly while adding/editing a timer. - Unless NO_EVENTID or NO_EVENTID_ON is used the EPG-ID is stored in every (auto)timer set using VDRAdmin-AM. - For every timer the current start/stop margins are saved in its summary/aux field. These are used for checking AutoTimers by time. - Fixed bug while checking for already programmed (auto)timers if not using EPG-ID.

Issues with network vdr-xine 0.7.8 / stuttering, poor performance
by CR 06 Apr '06

06 Apr '06

Hi all, When I connect a xine-network client to vdr w/vdr-xine, the video stutters, frame rate is 2-5 FPS, video freezes for several seconds, there is 2-4 seconds of normal video (with normal audio) then it freezes and the whole process repeats. Network is 100 Mbps switched Ethernet with all machines using 100 Mbps Full-Duplex connections. I am not using any plug-ins other than xine (no EPG, etc, etc). All channels seem to operate the same way. I did modify VDR's FRAMESPERSEC and set it to 30 (for NTSC). Oddly, if I use xine on the vdr machine and launch it localhost, video is fine, audio is fine, I can change channels, etc! Everything seems to work well. I have tried two different clients, completely different hardware and Linux distros with same results. Xine-lib is compiled on all three machines identically, first RH's xine-lib patch applied, then the network patch. One machine is a K7 2800+ MP, GeForce Ti4600 w/nVidia drivers, etc. Second machine is a P3 700 MHz with S3 video. I also notice sometimes if I connect with the client, the host will report "wrong version", particularly, if the client was forced to disconnect quickly previously. Here are the versions of what I am using: - VDR 1.3.44 - vdr-xine 0.7.8 - xine-lib-cvs-20060319194500.tar.bz2, - xine-ui-cvs-20060319194500, Network patch from: http://linuxtv.org/pipermail/vdr/2006-February/008021.html DVBPlayer patch: http://home.vrweb.de/~rnissl/vdr-1.3.44-dvbplayer5.patch Thanks, CR.
