dxr3 plugin and Debian sid vdr package
by Richard Wall 24 Jan '06

24 Jan '06

I just noticed that there is now an uptodate vdr package in Debian sid, but is there an easy "Debian" way of compiling plugins for it. I specifically need the dxr3 plugin, but it doesn't seem to be available as a package. I found the command debianize-vdrplugin, but am not quite sure how to procede after running it. Can anyone give any hints on which files need editing in the ./debian folder? Thanks, -RichardW.

Hi, here's a little patch to prevent crashing on Digita network, that uses 'NULL' in some event titles. Otherwise the new EPG search feature is neat. BR, -- rofa

Vdradmin channels compatibility problem
by Tony Houghton 24 Jan '06

24 Jan '06

I'm now using VDR 1.3.39-1 (Darren Salt's deb) and vdradmin-am-3.4.3rc with DVB-T in the UK (Freeview). I've still got the same annoying problem with vdradmin's channel configuration that I've had for ages. Generally, when I try to add channels to the menus in vdradmin's Configuration page, they won't appear, seemingly at random. Later on some of them do; I think this may be caused by VDR doing an EPG scan. When I raised this complaint once before, one of the authors commented something about, "Perhaps we shouldn't filter out channels [something or other]". So I had a look at the code and saw that it was skipping channels without EPG data. I removed that check, but it didn't help much because it wouldn't show any data for those channels. Now that I've got softdevice running again instead of running VDR as a recording daemon with no output, I just did an experiment. In VDR I viewed the schedule for one of the channels vdradmin refused to display. When I looked again in vdradmin that channel had become available. -- TH * http://www.realh.co.uk

It has the ability to create "searchtimer" which again program Timers. You can configure a lot there - and everything from within VDR :) As far as I can see it has almost everything what Master-Timer has got. It has no blacklist, but that is on the todo list. But if you want a webinterface it is not the right thing for you. Greetings Christian Jacobsen

vdr-1.3.37+ doesn't start with new runvdr
by Christoph Hermanns 23 Jan '06

23 Jan '06

Hi list, since i've updated to vdr-1.3.37 i hava a problem starting plugins with a command line option in runvdr like this: ... VDRUSR=root DVBDIR="/usr/local/src/DVB/driver" VDRPRG="/usr/local/src/VDR/vdr" VDRCMD="$VDRPRG -u $VDRUSR -w 60 -t /dev/tty8 -L /usr/local/src/VDR/PLUGINS/lib -c /usr/local/vdr/etc $* \ -s /usr/local/bin/vdrshutdown \ -P 'osdteletext -r' \ -P 'osdimage --directory /video/screenshots' " ... while (true) do $VDRCMD ... vdr doesn't start with this runvdr. Plugins without single quotation '' e.g. -P osdteletext work here. Changing the start command in the while-loop from $VDRCMD into the old su $VDRUSR -c "$VDRCMD" like ... while (true) do su $VDRUSR -c "$VDRCMD" ... and all plugins work as before including the command line options in single quota. - Has someone tested a plugin with command line options with the new runvdr from 1.3.37+ ??? - Or is this a rights problem ? Regards, Christoph

Patch: try to reconnect to lircd
by Ville Skyttä 23 Jan '06

23 Jan '06

Here's a patch that makes VDR try to reconnect to lircd if the connection is lost (eg. due to lircd restart on package upgrade, or whatever). The delay could be longer than the default of 3 seconds in this patch, no strong opinions on that. It would be cool to periodically try it also if the lircd connection is not available when starting VDR, but I think that's less often needed.

RE: [vdr] [Announce] LNB-sharing patch for VDR 1.3.38

Hallo Matthias, > A new release of the configurable LNB-sharing patch for VDR 1.3 is > available at: > http://xn--ltzke-jua.de/dvb/VDR_LNB_sharing_patch/configurable > LNBshare-VDR_1.3.38.patch > > Changes: > - adapted to VDR 1.3.38 > > For general information about the LNB-sharing patch have a look at: > http://xn--ltzke-jua.de/dvb/VDR_LNB_sharing_patch/Description.txt > http://www.vdr-wiki.de/wiki/index.php/Lnbsharing-patch (german) Just wanted to say Thanks for this very nice patch :) Works very fine here since mid-december with the folowing cards : DVB-s rev. 1.6 4MB as primary DVB-s rev. 1.3 as secondary Nova-s as third card. The second and third card are sharing the same cable to the switch. Using the sat-out of the rev. 1.3 did not work, but an axis sat-splitter did the trick :) Greetings Christian Jacobsen

VDR 1.3.37 not recording to multpile video partitions.
by Dave 23 Jan '06

23 Jan '06

I have an issue with 1.3.37 version VDR not recording to any other partition other than /video0. VDR sees the recordings taped onto the disk from previous versions, and will play/delete them, but VDR always insists on recording to the basically full /video0 when /video1 is only half full. Was there a fix/patch for this that I missed? I need this version to work. .38 thru to .40 work fine Thanks!

Yaepg plugin problem
by Mlists 23 Jan '06

23 Jan '06

Hi there, I have compiled yaepg successfully with vdr-1.3.38 and have now upgraded to vdr-1.3.40. This problem happens on both and I'm hoping its a quick fix. When I select on the plugin to go 'up' or 'down' in channel numbers when I press page up/page down it goes in the right direction but the channels listed in the display go the opposite direction! Very odd! Anyone see this and any ideas how to fix? Norm

About Buffer reserve and 1.3.40
by Lauri Tischler 22 Jan '06

22 Jan '06

--- klip --- Disabled the "buffer reserve" in Transfer Mode. Last chance to complain if you really need it it will be completely removed in the next version. If you are experiencing problems with a/v running out of sync, try the latest driver and firmware (if you are using a full featured DVB card). -- klip -- I'm running kernel 2.6.15 with included drivers, so that should qualify. What is considered 'latest firmware' ? I mean oldest that works, latest's usually have problems. - 261c - 261d - 261f - 262 - 263
