GPL Licensing?
by DVB WannaB 31 Jan '06

31 Jan '06

I don't know the proper rules and all, but I didn't think it was legal to sell something that was Open Source or GPL as what VDR is? I don't know how all of the authors of all the VDR Plugins and Klaus himself feel about others making money off of their hard work, and I hate to see things change. But thought people should be aware there are a couple of people out there trying to make money off of your work. Someone is selling a VDR Live CD, there is a thread about it on dvbn.happysat.org Just wanted to let you guys know. I hope that a stop is put to that, cuz I think that is just wrong. Thanks to all that help make this software what it is.

Moving charMap from menuitems.c to Make.config
by Rene Hertell 31 Jan '06

31 Jan '06

Hi Klaus, Could you add a new option in Make.config for specifying the charMap-variable in menuitems.c? This would be handy, because the map that's specified in menuitems.c lacks support for eg. Scandinavian characters like å, ä and ö and some other special characters. Also the character é is missing :-) For now i patched menuitems.c like this: --- menuitems.c.orig 2006-01-27 04:11:38.000000000 +0200 +++ menuitems.c 2006-01-27 04:15:54.000000000 +0200 @@ -245,7 +245,7 @@ pos = -1; insert = uppercase = false; newchar = true; - charMap = tr(" 0\t-.#~,/_@1\tabc2\tdef3\tghi4\tjkl5\tmno6\tpqrs7\ttuv8\twxyz9"); + charMap = tr(" 0\t-.#~?!':;,/_@1\tabcåä2\tdefé3\tghi4\tjkl5\tmnoö6\tpqrs7\ttuvü8\twxyz9"); currentChar = NULL; lastKey = kNone; Set(); Regards, René

Hi! I have adapted the timer-info patch to VDR >= 1.3.38 (tested with VDR-1.3.41). http://toms-cafe.de/vdr/download/vdr-timer-info-0.2-1.3.38+.diff This patch shows info in the timer menu, if it is possible to record a scheduled event. Tom

Xine and ac3 Passthru for dolby digital
by Dave 31 Jan '06

31 Jan '06

Im having some problems getting ac3 passthru to work. Im using fbxine with directfb, which works well, for both video and audio in PCM mode, but frequent crashes occur with trying to use Dolby Digital. I have set the xine plugin to "Dolby On" audio.output.speaker_arrangement:Pass Through It works sometimes, other times it crashes. No errors in logs, except a lot of "Ring Buffer Overflows".. fbxine just exits with no errors. Vdr itself doesnt crash, just fbxine crashes out or thinks the stream ended? vdr 1.3.38 Xine CVS

VDR in Polish
by Jaroslaw Swierczynski 30 Jan '06

30 Jan '06

Hi. I've made an update to the Polish translation. Actually it's a complete rewrite as the existing translation is horrible and unusable. In order for Polish characters to be displayed correctly, also epg_pl_0.1.diff is required (it's not mine, I've found it on one of message boards). It fixes the ISO-8859-2 fonts and EPG data sent by Cyfra+ (a Polish provider). -- Jaroslaw Swierczynski <swiergot(a)gmail.com> www.archlinux.org | www.juvepoland.com

Burn-plugin and special characters
by Rene Hertell 30 Jan '06

30 Jan '06

Hi, I found a bug in the burn-plugin when the info.vdr file contains special characters like å, ä and ö. The info on the DVD that is created with this info.vdr-file gets chopped, and therefore the text that ends up on the dvd is not complete. I'm using the version 0.0.009 of this plugin. Regards, René

Watchdog Problems with vdr-1.3.40
by Helmut Auer 29 Jan '06

29 Jan '06

Hello list, I've just installed the em84xx plugin - yes the realmagic driver is now working under kernel 2.6 :-) For using the em84xx plugin I have to disable the watchdog timeout, otherwise it will kill vdr every some minutes. The watchdog is set to 60 seconds, and even is zapping is working the watchdog strikes back: Jan 29 21:03:27 [vdr] [6887] switching to channel 7 Jan 29 21:03:34 [vdr] [6887] switching to channel 6 Jan 29 21:03:35 [vdr] [6887] switching to channel 5 Jan 29 21:03:36 [vdr] [6887] switching to channel 4 Jan 29 21:03:38 [vdr] [6887] switching to channel 3 Jan 29 21:04:03 [vdr] [6898] PANIC: watchdog timer expired - exiting! or even harder: Jan 29 21:01:25 [vdr] [6143] ERROR (dvbdevice.c,211): Connection timed out Jan 29 21:01:26 [vdr] [6144] channel 6 (SAT.1) event 20:15 'Jumanji' status 4 Jan 29 21:01:27 [vdr] [6144] channel 7 (ProSieben) event 20:16 'Catch Me If You Can' status 4 Jan 29 21:01:27 [vdr] [6144] channel 8 (KABEL1) event 20:15 'Sag niemals nie' status 4 Jan 29 21:01:29 [kernel] [ring0 received 5000 interrupts so far (skipped 1 for other devices sharing line)] Jan 29 21:02:06 [vdr] [6137] switching to channel 7 Jan 29 21:02:12 [vdr] [6137] switching to channel 8 Jan 29 21:02:35 [vdr] [6137] switching to channel 9 Jan 29 21:02:36 [vdr] [6253] cAudioRepacker(0xC0): skipped 306 bytes while syncing on next audio frame Jan 29 21:02:40 [vdr] [6137] switching to channel 10 Jan 29 21:02:40 [vdr] [6148] PANIC: watchdog timer expired - exiting! ok - channel 10 is a Premiere Channel and I do not have a card, but why does this result in an immediate watchdog exit? I thought that the watchdog will wait at least for the given time ( -w 60 ). -- Helmut Auer, helmut(a)helmutauer.de

1.3.39, "Menu button closes" true: No menu from replay
by Udo Richter 29 Jan '06

29 Jan '06

Hi Klaus, With 1.3.39 and "Menu button closes" set to true, the main menu doesn't open if any replay control is active. The attached patch fixes this by resetting a !IsOpen cControl to WasOpen=false. Cheers, Udo --- vdr-1.3.39-old/vdr.c 2006-01-15 18:33:54.000000000 +0100 +++ vdr-1.3.39/vdr.c 2006-01-15 18:38:28.000000000 +0100 @@ -795,8 +795,12 @@ bool WasMenu = Interact && Interact->IsMenu(); if (Menu) DELETE_MENU; - else if (cControl::Control() && cOsd::IsOpen()) - cControl::Control()->Hide(); + else if (cControl::Control()) { + if (cOsd::IsOpen()) + cControl::Control()->Hide(); + else + WasOpen = false; + } if (!WasOpen || !WasMenu && !Setup.MenuButtonCloses) Menu = new cMenuMain; }
