xmltv2vdr question
by Leo Márquez 27 Jan '06

27 Jan '06

Hi, I'm trying to get the epg info with xmltv and xmltv2vdr.pl from 2 different grab scripts. The problem I have is that the second script I use overwrite the first script info and left the epg info blank for these channels. How can I use two different grabs for a single channels.conf? What I'm doing wrong? The first script I use is: > /usr/bin/tv_grab_es --days 4 --config-file > /root/.xmltv/tv_grab_es.conf --output > /video/plugins/xmltv2vdr/channels.xml.tmp > /usr/bin/tv_sort --output /video/plugins/xmltv2vdr/channels.xml > /video/plugins/xmltv2vdr/channels.xml.tmp > /video/plugins/xmltv2vdr/xmltv2vdr.pl -x > /video/plugins/xmltv2vdr/channels.xml -c > /video/plugins/xmltv2vdr/channels.conf The second: > /root/tv_grab_es_digital --days 4 --config-file > /root/.xmltv/tv_grab_es_digital.conf --output > /video/plugins/xmltv2vdr/channels.xml.tmp > /usr/bin/tv_sort --output /video/plugins/xmltv2vdr/channels.xml > /video/plugins/xmltv2vdr/channels.xml.tmp > /video/plugins/xmltv2vdr/xmltv2vdr.pl -x > /video/plugins/xmltv2vdr/channels.xml -c > /video/plugins/xmltv2vdr/channels.conf In the xmltv channels.conf I have identified correctly each channel with the extra field. I supose the relation between xmltv channels.conf and vdr channels.conf is based on the line number. It's correct? Thanks, Leo

REQ: Recording feature
by IT 27 Jan '06

27 Jan '06

Hello, would it be possible to implement in one of the next releases a switch button (0) to show all recordings without subdirectory (similiar to the channel switch) - sorting by time/alphabet would also be great? Sometimes I have to walk through all subdirectories just to find a special recording /uwe

Aspect ratio
by Tony Houghton 26 Jan '06

26 Jan '06

I don't know if it's specific to softdevice, but I noticed that if you select 16:9, VDR scales 4:3 down before outputting it to the TV with black borders. Surely all TVs have options to do the scaling themselves, which will probably at least result in less loss of resolution; and some do neat tricks like stretching the edges of the picture to fill the screen while leaving the middle more or less the right shape. So it would be nice to have an option in VDR to always fill the screen and let the TV/viewer deal with scaling if necessary. -- TH * http://www.realh.co.uk

Announce: vdr-eggtimer-0.0.2
by Peter Juszack 26 Jan '06

26 Jan '06

Hallo, there is a new version of the eggtimer plugin available: http://194.95.44.38/~pjuszack/digicam/download/vdr-eggtimer-0.0.2.tgz what is it? An eggtimer for vdr. After starting the plugin will countdown a number of seconds or minutes und will then inform you via a repeating OSD message. Templates ( tea, noodles or whatever) can be created in a config file. at the first glance nothing changed :) but: - config file is optional now (standard template is hard coded) - code rewritten - improved stability Regards Peter http://194.95.44.38/~pjuszack/digicam - Digicam & Eggtimer http://www.unterbrecher.de - old MZ motorcycles

We have some older platforms with the same chip with no problem. It started with one of the recent code merges. Looks like DVD-Forum now enforces it (it's what ESS says). Would be nasty surprise if your next player starts complaining. Peter

burn-plugin und vdrconvert produces copy protected discs ;-(
by peter.dittmann＠freenet.de 26 Jan '06

26 Jan '06

Hi, It's no fun, working on DVD-Players I stumbled accross a potential future issue with all our home(linux) made DVDs. Obviously there is a reserved CGMS field defined in the DVD-R file system spec for every ISO directory record. Mkisofs does not add this field (not even a padding) which results into the player smelling a copied disc and refuse playing. It looks like most newer players have this "feature" enforced from the DVD-Forum Looks like this is the next generation Un-DVD ;-( It looks like the problem is only happening on discs only using ISO/Joliet but no added UDF filesystem (mkisofs has CGMS support for UDF in). Unfortunely it's default for vdr-burn and vdrconvert which means all our home made discs are affected. As a workaround until mkisofs is addapted (already mailed the maintainer) we need to add the -udf switch to mkisofs to also generate an UDF file system. Peter

Vdradmin
by Rene Hertell 26 Jan '06

26 Jan '06

Hi, I'm trying to find some replacement for vdradmin that would be a bit more reliable than the am-versions, and newer than the original vdradmin 1.96. The 1.96 has so far been working best with the auto timers if compared with the am-versions of vdradmin. The biggest problem with the am-versions of vdradmin was that I got recordings that claimed to be e.g. Alias, but what was recorded was completely something else. Other problems with auto timers was that I got a bunch of identical timers, and if I did not clean up my timers on regular basis, I got the many programs recorded multiple times. If someone has any suggestions for a vdradmin-replacement, then they are welcome :-) Regards, René

[ANNOUNCE] Remote Control Plugin 0.3.5
by Oliver Endriss 25 Jan '06

25 Jan '06

Hi, there is a bug fix release for the Remote Control plugin. History: -------- 2006-01-25: Version 0.3.5 - Fixed segfault due to FileName == NULL in cTtyStatus::Recording() and cTtyStatus::Replaying() (thanks to Ronny Kornexl for reporting this one). Rewrote cTtyStatus::Recording() and cTtyStatus::Replaying(): Do not assume that Name and/or FileName have a particular format. It can be downloaded from http://www.escape-edv.de/endriss/vdr/ See README for details. Short description: ------------------ This plugin extends the remote control capabilities of vdr. The following remote control devices are supported: (a) linux input device driver ('/dev/input/eventX', X=0,1,2,...) - built-in remote control port of the av711x-based DVB cards (aka full-featured cards), e.g. DVB-S Nexus [1] - remote control port of some budget cards, e.g. Nova-CI [2] - other input devices (not tested, please report success!) See file FAQ for a list of cards which have been reported to work. (b) keyboard (tty driver): /dev/console, /dev/ttyX (c) TCP connection (telnet) (d) LIRC Notes: [1] supported by DVB and dvb-kernel [2] supported by dvb-kernel only Summary of command line options: -------------------------------- -i dev, --input=dev select device which supports the /dev/input protocol -l dev, --lirc=dev select LIRC device -t dev, --tty=dev select terminal device -T dev, --TTY=dev select terminal device with 'OSD' -p tcp:n, --port=tcp:n select connection on tcp port <n> Examples: --------- vdr -Premote vdr -P"remote -i autodetect" Try to autodetect device '/dev/input/eventX' (X = 0,1,2,...). If no device can be identified, '-i /dev/input/event0' is used. vdr -P"remote -i /dev/input/event2" use specified input device '/dev/input/event2' vdr -P"remote -l /dev/lircd" select LIRC remote control vdr -P"remote -p tcp:3333" wait for a telnet connection on tcp port 3333 (use 'telnet vdr 3333' to access this port) vdr -P"remote -t /dev/tty10" use terminal device without 'OSD' vdr -P"remote -T /dev/tty10" use terminal device with 'OSD' vdr -P"remote -i autodetect -p tcp:3333 -t /dev/tty10" use multiple devices Have fun, Oliver -- -------------------------------------------------------- VDR Remote Plugin available at http://www.escape-edv.de/endriss/vdr/ --------------------------------------------------------

Ping Darren Salt: Suspend patch in Debian
by Tony Houghton 25 Jan '06

25 Jan '06

Even if the original authors won't accept the usefulness of the suspend feature, please could you consider adding Marko Makela's suspend patch to your Debian package. I found it applied OK manually to 1.3.39-1 despite some offsets. The suspend patch is useful to the point of being essential for us softdevice users. For use as a recording daemon and because it's difficult to start and stop VDR on demand on a headless box, I tend to have it running all the time, and without suspending it uses about 60% of my CPU cycles. -- TH * http://www.realh.co.uk
