VDR unit testing setup
by Malte Forkel 31 Jul '13

31 Jul '13

Hello, I'm looking for suggestions on how to best setup VDR for unit testing. I'm working on a Python library that provides access to VDR's channels, timers, etc. Currently, it supports SVDRP and file-based access. Other types of connections like RESTful might follow. Setting up unit tests for file-based components is rather straightforward. It doesn't require a running VDR and I can use test files as required. Unit tests for SVDRP based components seem to require a running VDR in different reproducable states (data, time, VDR version, ...). I'm not sure what would be the best way to achieve that. May be, I can use a virtual machine, ideally without any real DVB hardware? Thanks, Malte

Missing /dev/fb for pvr350
by Rainer Blickle 26 Jul '13

26 Jul '13

Hi folks, i like to re-setup my vdr with ubuntu 12.04. The Plugin pvr350 cannot find the framebuffer. I have a device /dev/fb0, but it seems that this is the framebuffer of my tv-out of my mother board. When booting my old ubuntu 10.10, there are two framebuffer devices (fb0 and fb1). can anybody give me a clue why there is no frame buffer on my system for the pvr350 device ? Regards, Rainer

VDR on beaglebone black
by Bruce 21 Jul '13

21 Jul '13

I'm working on a project to run VDR on a beaglebone to record ota tv shows. I only want to use VDR to record shows, not view live or recorded shows. I have a WD media player for that. So far I have a HD Home Run Dual connected to my ota antenna that inputs about 40 channels, six or so in HD. It connects to a Netgear gigabyte switch. My win/xp pc plays the live tv shows just fine. I added an Addonics NAS with a 1TB drive to the network and stored some .ts Hd files on it. I have a WD tv live plus connected to the network and it plays the .ts samples files perfectly, as does my XP PC. I just installed Ubuntu 12.04.2 server on the beaglebone and it seems to be working fine. Now I need to connect the bbb to the nas server. Still working on that. The mount command is giving trouble. Then I want to install VDR, configure it for the HDHR dual and NAS storage and give recording a try. Any advice or comments on my approach. I'm prepared to upgrade to a faster computer if the bbb won't write to the disk fast enough, or the software won't run on this hardware. Thank you in advance for advice and suggestions.

Livebuffer for VDR 2.0
by René 13 Jul '13

13 Jul '13

Hi all! Now that VDR 2.0 is just around the corner i would like to check if there is any progress to the great livebuffer that was back in the 1.6 days? I tested a 1.7.x version some long time ago, but that did not work as well as the "original" version.. René

Re: [vdr] [Dxr3-devel] Dxr3 modify to support Raspberry PI mpg2 decoder?
by YUP 26 Jun '13

26 Jun '13

Interesting. I'm planning to buy one Raspberry Pi device, but I hve never thougt that old dxr3 code can be used again! I still use one dxr3 card (em8300) in my vdr stuff, it works pretty well. Probably there is a way to use dxr3 code for RaspPi. Damn, I'm not a coder... I suppose you should ask Christian (astriancoder) http://projects.vdr-developer.org/users/35 .

Signal problem
by ThE-GuRu 07 Jun '13

07 Jun '13

Hi, i'm trying vdr-2.0.2 with my SkystarHD (not HD2) and in certain channels i have a weak signal problem. I've tried with kernel driver (I'm using Mint 14-x64with kernel 3.5.0-17) and also with latest dvb driver but nothing is changed. With my old disk Ubuntu 10.04 and vdr 1.7.21 I have no problem, what can be the problem??? Bye! P.s.: i've also 1 Tevii and Mystique pci card but if i try with HD channels i see on tv not the right image but a lot of green square . what can be?
