[1.3.40] String edit insert mode broken
by Udo Richter 04 Feb '06

04 Feb '06

Hi list, In 1.3.40 and 1.3.41, the arrow key insert mode of edit fields is broken. It inserts a new char after each up/down press. Steps: - Go to some edit field (timer name etc) and start editing - Press 'green' for insert mode - Press 'up' several times Result: aaaaa inserted The attached patch fixes this for now, though its a bit ugly. Simply setting newchar = false like in 1.3.39 now activates the auto-advance timer without setting it, so it advances soon. (I guess this is not expected, though I could get used to it.) The patch sets the timer to some unrealistic high value to avoid advancing for a looong time.

Announce: JVdr
by Peter Juszack 04 Feb '06

04 Feb '06

Hallo everybody, I have created a little java client application to control VDR via SVDRP. Tested with KDE and Windows. No live stream but screenshot display in the window. Screenshots can be saved to disc comfortably - that is the main reason for developing it. More information and the download link can be found at: http://194.95.44.38/~pjuszack/digicam/ Regards Peter

Burn plugin with current development version
by Tuomas Luttinen 04 Feb '06

04 Feb '06

Now that I have a DVD burner for my vdr box I have taken a look on the DVD burn plugin. Unfortunately known bugs include the fact that it doesn't even compile with quite recent development version. I recall that someone did a patch for this problem, but where to get it? And as I'm on it, might there be someone interested to maintain that plugin if the original author doesn't do that anymore? Then couple of questions on the features, does the plugin support different picture ratios, that is 4:3 and anamorphic 16:9? How about subtitles? -- Tuomas Luttinen !

Bug at fast forward and JumpTo
by Patrick Fischer 04 Feb '06

04 Feb '06

I found a maybe very old bug. If I'm using Multispeed for watching an recording: -I can use left/rigth for fast forward/backword. -I can use the red button to enter a jumpTo position activated by pressing "up" But if Im using fastforward and then enter a jumpTo position the the fastforward speed will be changed to max speed. So if I'm using speed "1" and jumpto Posion 1000 then the player switch to max speed (3) And Control->GetReplayMode(Play, Forward, Speed) will return the wrong values. I have tested it with vdr 1.3.38 Greetings Patrick

You must have had requests for this (or felt it was necessary) and as Gunnar suggests it would also be beneficial in record playback. While this is a key option, it does mean one less key for us to use for macros. If a double press of ok is used in viewing and record, I beleive we improve the UI and reduce 'clutter' on the screen. Do you have any feelings about my other suggestion about showing what is being recorded (either channel or program) when the OK key is pressed?

Hi, Hans-Werner Hilse wrote: >The mplayer plugin doesn't do much more than offering a filebrowser >plus a very clever passthrough of remote control codes.

This sounds like something worth looking at then, if I can't get the DVD plugin working, thanks. >IMHO segfaulting doesn't indicate a wrong processor instruction set ..... >It seems to spit out that runtime error and die >miserably... I compiled the libraary on the machine and I am sure there are no instruction set issues, as it would have complained at the time. The liba52 messages I am seeing are not even errors or warnings I think - just information, but they are the last thing I see before the seg fault. Short of learning how to use gdb and analysing core dumps, is there any way I can increase the verbosity of the error messages? I am wondering if there is some dependency I am missing. The machine does not have a DVD drive installed and the kernel has no UDF or ISO9660 modules. I think I have everything configured to read the directory containing the copy of the files on the hard disk (not ISO files), so none of the above should be required, but I wonder are checks happening anyway. >(also CC to sender because of his mail receive issue) Thanks I am using the mail archive to follow the thread.

No. Initially I compiled liba52 without djbfft support and got the segfault and the message "No accelerated IMDCT transform found". Googling for this message and vdr, I found a post on the vdr list from someone who was seeing this message trying to play mp3 and it was suggested that adding djbfft support would fix it. Sadly, it has not for me. Apologies for breaking the thread. If any list maintainer is reading, there seems to be a problem that although I can post to the list, I am not receiving mail from it (have checked junk filtering etc). This may be because I was removed from the list because of an overflowing mailbox in the past. Regards, Richard

DVD and DVDselect Plugin Setup
by Richard Scobie 03 Feb '06

03 Feb '06

Can the DVD plugin be used on vdr systems using a full featured Nexus card on a low powered (Pentium 200) system? I ask as I have spent spent a few hours setting these plugins up to the point where when I "OK" on an entry in the DVDSelect image list, vdr segfaults, with the following information from the console: Using djbfft for IMDCT transform /usr/local/bin/runvdr: line 44: 20111 Segmentation fault and log: Feb 3 14:22:12 tx vdr[20111]: ln -nfs '/var/video/dvd/EnglishPatient' '/dev/dvd' 2> /dev/null The first message about IMDCT is coming from liba52 and prior to my recompiling liba52 with djbfft support, I was getting: No accelerated IMDCT transform found. (and a segfault) The directory "EnglishPatient" contains the VIDEO_TS folder and contents from the disc. My system is a Pentium 200 with a Nexus S 2.1 card running vdr 1.3.38, the latest CVS DVD plugin and dvdselect-0.7a. Any help much appreciated, as I am out of ideas and Google clues. Regards, Richard

I am now using the Remote plugin, but if IIRC then irw shows a counter which counts up as long as the key is held - as soon as the key is released and pressed again it starts over by 0 (or 1 !?). That could surely be used for this. Greetings Christian Jacobsen
