Patch #4: Day separator in Schedule
by Sascha Volkenandt 21 Jan '06

21 Jan '06

Hi list, I'll be releasing this and a few other patches for VDR 1.3.33, which have evolved during the last months while working on XeatreOS (a distribution based on LinVDR 0.7, which is used for the Xeatre boxes, http://www.xeatre.tv/). Some of their functionality may already be included in plugins or other patches. Nevertheless, I'd like to release them now, and let everybody decide whether they are useful or not. This one adds a non-selectable item in schedules whenever a date change occurs. Greetings, Sascha

[ANN] vdr-statusleds-0.3
by Bernd Juraschek 21 Jan '06

21 Jan '06

Hello, I've released a new version of my statusleds plugin. This will compile now for vdr >= 1.3.38 also and will be compiled with -fPIC which is needed on some systems (Thanks to Thomas Günther for the patches). For all not knowing this plugin: It uses one flashing keyboad LED to display if vdr is recording. It signals with beeps start and finish of recordings (with a configurable prewarn beep also). Download: http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/vdr-statusleds/vdr-statusleds-0.3.tgz?do… Infos: http://vdr-statusleds.sourceforge.net/statusleds Have fun, Bernd -- Es gibt 10 verschiedene Arten von Menschen: Die einen verstehen das Binärsystem und die anderen verstehen es nicht.

Variable Documentation for VDRconvert (especially VDR2DVD)
by Peer Oliver Schmidt 20 Jan '06

20 Jan '06

Hi, I am trying to use vdrconvert to transfer some VDR recordings to a DVD. I have some problems understanding the use of the variables. Is there anyplace where to RTFM? I could not find anything readily available detailing the various variables available in the .conf files. Currently, I have a need to understand the variable DVDUSESTREAMS. Any and all help is greatly appreciated. -- Best regards Peer Oliver Schmidt PGP Key ID: 0x83E1C2EA

shoutcast-server-plugin

Hi all, is there a mp3 streaming server plugin for the VDR that streams the audio of the current program as a live-stream in mp3? Is there anything like that planned? Or is there a way to get the live-audio via device like /dev/dsp or something like that?

cMenuText
by Tobias Grimm 20 Jan '06

20 Jan '06

Hi! I was wondering, why cMenuText::ProcessKey returns osContinue for every key (except kOk) that was not processed by the parent: if (state == osUnknown) { switch (Key) { case kOk: return osBack; default: state = osContinue; } } return state; Shouldn't it return osUnknown there, like the other cMenu* classes? See e.g. cMenuEvent: if (state == osUnknown) { switch (Key) { case kGreen: case kYellow: return osContinue; case kOk: return osBack; default: break; } } return state; Or am I missing something? Regards, Tobias

VDR not using /video1 to record anymore
by Dave 20 Jan '06

20 Jan '06

I had a crash on my vdr PC a few weeks ago, but my /video0 and /video1 partitions were saved, so I reinstalled VDR+OS, and VDR picked up on all the recordings on both partitions no problem, I can play from both /video0 and /video1 no problem, but VDR wont record to /video1 anymore, vdr still reports proper space remaining, in this case 26 hours free, but all recordings go to /video0, even though its full, with over 36 gigs remaining on /video1.. Then errors show up in logs, Disk space remaining 0, limit 512, etc... since the crash not one recording will go to /video1, even though VDR sees the partition OK. This all worked perfectly before the crash.. VDR 1.3.37 Any ideas?

[PATCH] vdr-streamdev CVS: remote timers
by Frank Schmirler 20 Jan '06

20 Jan '06

Hi there, I made a patch which re-enables the "Streaming Control" menu for the VDR streamdev plugin from CVS. The key feature of this menu is the "Remote Timer" functionality. The "Streaming Control" menu has been commented out in April 2005. A few changes were necessary to adapt the old code to recent VDR 1.3 releases. The patch also includes the fix for switching transponders if no idle dvb card is available (as suggested by PanamaJack and possibly others) Requirements: - streamdev from CVS (any snapshot taken after May 2005 should do) - vdr 1.3.34 (newer vdr version might work - not tested) - Timers on the server must not be in old format (Day of month only) You will find the patch at http://vdr.schmirler.de/ Enjoy, Frank

Modified channels.conf isn't saved
by Philippe Gramoullé 20 Jan '06

20 Jan '06

Hello, I apology if this subject has already been discussed before, but i couldn't find any definitive answer to my problem : Sometimes i don't tune in some given channels for some time, just to realise that the channel's name has changed. I started to reorganise my channels.conf using VDR "mark channels" then move them up/down, and after i was done i zapped through channels for a while and then shut down VDR. I was disappointed to see that my changes weren't saved and that i had to start all over again. So what's the best way to avoid such a mistake ? - tune to somme channels, wait a few seconds that names (and pids) are updated, write the list down, and then manually edit channels.conf with a text editor ? - use a plugin (channelsort) ? - wait some time so that VDR writes the changes down ? (i don't remember what are the conditions so that VDR triggers files update, IIRC, no epg scan, no activity for xx minutes) My config has only one FF DVB-S card. Thanks much, Philippe PS: same problem would eventually occur to epg data, so any advice is welcome as well to handle epg data updates.

BUG: short directoryname disturbs the Recordinglist - Privat
by christian jacobsen 20 Jan '06

20 Jan '06

Hallo, I noticed something strange, if there are short directorynames the the recording list gest disturbed. I also posted this here (with a screenshot) : http://www.vdr-portal.de/board/thread.php?sid=&postid=380360#post380360 A bit further down in the thread MarkusE thinks it has something with the sorting to do. It happens with a directory named "S" - see treelist below, and it must have something with the deepnes of the direcory-structure to do as it does not happen on another directory "M" that I have got. The "M" directory has got on level less than "S" - meaning : M/REC-Name/2005-11-01.20.12.20.99.rec Tested with vanilla VDR 1.3.34 - but still there in 1.3.38 Here a structure that makes it happen : # tree S S |-- CSI__Miami | `-- Die_Todeswelle | `-- 2005-11-01.20.12.20.99.rec | |-- 001.vdr | |-- 002.vdr | |-- 003.vdr | |-- index.vdr | |-- info.vdr | |-- marks.vdr | `-- vdr-starttime `-- NUMB3RS `-- Hinterhalt `-- 2005-11-07.21.07.20.99.rec |-- 001.vdr |-- index.vdr |-- info.vdr |-- marks.vdr `-- vdr-starttime Greetings Christian Jacobsen

Stupid provider / channel name notifications
by Gavin Hamill 20 Jan '06

20 Jan '06

My cable provider seems to send very odd name updates. e.g. Jan 20 11:55:17 localhost vdr[3085]: changing name of channel 2032 from 'TheHitsR,;The Hits Radio' to 'The Hits Radio,;The Hits Radio' Jan 20 11:55:17 localhost vdr[3085]: changing name of channel 2032 from 'The Hits Radio,;The Hits Radio' to 'TheHitsR,;The Hits Radio' I will get one pair of these messages for every service on that multiplex, so every time I change to a new multiplex frequency, I'll get a dozen or so sets of these messages in my syslog - a bit irritating. Unfortunately, it means that I always end up seeing the short name like 'TheHitsR' in the VDR (and VDRAdmin) channel lists when I would much rather have the 'Provider' name after the semicolon displayed as the channel name. Is there a one-line twiddle I can change for this? I've had a look through the source, but I'm not a coder so it's a bit needle-in-a-haystack :) Cheers, Gavin.
