by Paul Lacatus 03 Jan '06

03 Jan '06

Sorry about offtopic but from vdr wiki I found that there is a way to improve the stability of SNR and STR readings in vdr but didn't found relevant information to go further with the voltage moding. If somebody can give me a link I will be gratefull Regards Paul

The corect way to stop VDR
by Paul Lacatus 02 Jan '06

02 Jan '06

I am using vdr 1.3.37 on full featured thechnisat Rev 1.3 card. Drivers are from kernel 2.6.14. I have another digital receiver connected on the loop output of the ss1 board. After closing vdr by ctrl-c in console the ss1 in not powering anymore the LNB leaving the other receiver to do that but is not allowing the high frequency signal to pass trough (I presume ) since the other receiver is indicating bad signal. If I restart the computer all is ok until I start again vdr. I don't know if the problem is from vdr or drivers.

Annoying bug with ttxtsubs
by "Sami J. Mäkinen" 02 Jan '06

02 Jan '06

Hello all, is anyone else having trouble with teletext subtitles? I am using - VDR 1.3.37 - ttxtsubs 0.0.5 - DVB subtitles 0.3.8 - a bunch of other plugins, including autosort, channelscan, dvd, femon, loadepg, mp3/mplayer, osdteletext, remote and text2skin. - DVB-S full-feature card (Hauppauge) with conax cam and Canal Digital smartcard. I have used the patches from http://users.tkk.fi/~rahrenbe/vdr/vdr-1.3.37-subtitles-0.3.8-and-ttxtsubs-0… http://users.tkk.fi/~rahrenbe/vdr/vdr-ttxtsubs-0.0.5-soppatykki-edition.dif… to get DVB subtitles and ttxtsubs together. The symptons: When replaying a recording from a satellite channel with ttxt subtitles, they work ok for the first 5 minutes or so. After that, the subtitles disappear for a while. Then, I begin to see subtitles from live sat tv, usually Animal Planet. I press STOP from my remote and re-enter the playback and subtitles reappear correctly and work for another 5 minutes or so. This is repeatable. I have tried to switch my vdr into a satellite channel on a different satellite (I have 5 sats visible), e.g. S19.2E (astra1). Anyhow, when playing back a recording with ttxt subtitles, I definitely will see ttxt subtitles from live broadcast from S1.0W (Thor) after 5 minutes or so. This is damn annoying. When watching live view with ttxt subtitles, it is working ok, always. I have not seen subtitles from a wrong channel or anything similar. When watching a recording with no subtitles that vdr is aware of (subtitles embedded into the picture, like mtv3 or Nelonen in Finland) I will see ttxt subtitles from live broadcast of S1.0W too. This happens too, even if I try to switch to another channel on another satellite before beginning the playback. This problem is easily cured, because I can just disable ttxt subtitles from the VDR main menu. Have anyone else seen this? This is utterly annoying since the only way to view satellite broadcasts with subtitles is to make dvds of them first... It should not be too difficult for ttxtsubs plugin to differentiate recorded and live view subtitles, should it? Sigh. -sjm

Analog Plugin --ANYONE using it and its working?
by Mlists 02 Jan '06

02 Jan '06

I have a Hauppauge WinTV along with my DVB card and I would like to get it working with VDR. It works find in conjunction with my DVB card in Mythtv but I prefer VDR for it's stability. After finding some patches on the German WIKI pages for the plugin, I finally got it to compile. The problem I'm having though is that when it tries to launch mp1e I get the following errors: 11:59:29 mp1e -m 3 -j -e 1 -t 256 -g I -p /dev/dsp -c /dev/video0 -x /dev/mixer -d 0 -a 23 -b 5000000 -B 80 -r 14,91 -s 352x288 -S 44.1 -F 8 -G 368x288 -o /tmp/.analogtv.avi & 11:59:29 Sucessfully set encoder priority to -15 11:59:29 flush_buffer() mp1e: invalid option -- j Real time MPEG-1 encoder 1.9.2 Copyright (C) 1999-2001 Michael H. Schimek I downloaded the CVS version of FFMPEG because I get a similar problem if I change the encoder to ffmpeg, except it says option -hq is invalid. Can anyone provide me with some information where I can find the right software that will work with VDR and this card? Thanks Norm

Re: [vdr] (offtopic) Voltage moding rev 1.3

[Please respond to the list. Thank you.] Jarmo Järvenpää wrote: > Can't understand german and babelfish was not succesful enough, thus, > what's this mod? Hauppage board, do you know specific model? This modification is for Rev 1.3 full-featured DVB-S cards only (BSRV2 tuner): http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/PCI_devices_DVB-S It should be applied only if you have an very unstable signal. It must _not_ be applied to other card revisions. If there is too much noise from the power supply the tuner of the 1.3 cannot lock to the transponder in a reliable way. The voltage mod will fix that. > Oliver Endriss wrote: > > Paul Lacatus wrote: > >> Sorry about offtopic but from vdr wiki I found that there is a way to > >> improve the stability of SNR and STR readings in vdr but didn't found > >> relevant information to go further with the voltage moding.

So once more: | Oops, the coil is _located_ at pin 14, but _connected_ to pin 13! | - remove coil connected to pin 13 of the tuner | - connect tuner pin 13 with pin 4 (or pin 6) If you do not have any problems you should not apply the mod!

"filing" a channel into the appropriate group.
by Carsten Koch 02 Jan '06

02 Jan '06

Hi, I have 3329 entries, subdivided into 25 channel groups in my channels.conf. The last group is of course the "New channels" group. Every now and then I zap through it and file the new channels into the appropriate groups. Of course, it is extremely hard to move a channel from position 3329 to any position in the first 24 groups. It would be nice to have an easy way to "file" the channel directly into a specific group (simply at its end) like this: * select the channel * press a key * a list of groups comes up * Use Up/Down (or digits for the first 10) to select * press OK Is there such a feature (maybe as a plugin) already? If no, would that be a useful addition? How do other people manage large channels.conf files? Thanks, Carsten.

Server recording with SVDRP
by Uwe Ortner 01 Jan '06

01 Jan '06

Hello, any chance to initiate (from client) a recording via SVDRP on a server? For this, some information such as channel number, time/date should be parsed from a highlighted entry (submenu "program") to SVDRP. Is that in general possible (maybe via the unused blue key)? uwe

Instant Timer with a given Channel
by Patrick Fischer 01 Jan '06

01 Jan '06

Hello I want to create a new instant Recording from a Plugin at a specific Channel. The normal way to create a instant Recording is to call cRecordControls::Start (); This will create a Recording of the current Channel. So if I want to create a recording on an different Channel, I can create a new Timer and give this new Timer to cRecordControls::Start (). cTimer *timer = new cTimer(true,false); cRecordControls::Start (timer); But new cTimer(true, false) also use the current Channel. Is it possible that Klaus change the Constructor from cTimer::cTimer(bool Instant, bool Pause) to cTimer::cTimer(bool Instant, bool Pause, int channel = 0) And the line 30 in timers.c from channel = Channels.GetByNumber(cDevice::CurrentChannel()); to channel = Channels.GetByNumber(channel?channel:cDevice::CurrentChannel()); In this case i can create a new recording by cTimer *timer = new cTimer(true,false,MYCHANNEL); cRecordControls::Start (timer); please!!! :-) Yours sincerely, Patrick

[ANNOUNCE] XXV Stable version 0.60
by Andreas Brachold 01 Jan '06

01 Jan '06

Hello, I forwarded a message from Frank Herrmann (xpix) >>> Dear Friends, Just in time for the end of the yearly we can release finally the new XXV Stable version. There was still some fixed and a few cosmetic changes in the code. Otherwise runs XXV very stably, here on my system in the 24/7 system over one month without problems. As always can you this version under the following URL download: http://www.xpix.de/downloads/xxv/?M= As small Gimmick I tinkered a new Skin, which has first times no more Frames and in the end only over the Stylesheets completely be changed can. If it you interests: http://xpix.dieserver.de/content/vdr/xxv/b_286_artikel.shtml http://www.xpix.de/downloads/xxv/xxv-xstyle-0.1.tgz >>> And here my additional comments : Howto and documentation ------------------------ German : http://www.vdr-wiki.de/wiki/index.php/Xxv English : http://www.linuxtv.org/vdrwiki/index.php/Xxv (Sorry the english wiki need a little spell checking :) Changelog (german) http://bandt.dyndns.org/repos/XXV/doc/CHANGELOG.txt Changelog (automated translate to english) http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&u=http://bandt.dyndns.org/repos… ++++++++ And mine additional packages xxv Skins and vdr2jpeg are here also updated... The xxv Skins package was brought on the current conditions. http://www.deltab.de/vdr/xxv.html and respectively, vdr2jpeg is a simple c++ program to grab jpeg images from VDR-Recordings. It's based on vdrsync.pl and ffmain, and was design as little study to enhance xxv. The tool vdr2jpeg-0.0.8a was adapted to use ffmpeg-0.4.9-pre1/cvs. thus ffmpeg-0.4.8 is not any longer supported, the API is too differently around both to be supported. http://www.deltab.de/vdr/vdr2jpeg.html Happy new year, Andreas
