Diseqc switch question
by Mlists 30 Dec '05

30 Dec '05

I'm running vdr 1.3.37 with a diseqc 2.0 switch. The problem I seem to have is that switching between ports on the switch doesn't work cleanly. Often it will not switch and give me a black screen. Can someone please confirm whether I have the right diseqc settings? This is what I have -- # EchoStar 7 - 119W - Port 1 S119.0W 99999 V 11250 t v W15 [E0 10 38 F0] S119.0W 99999 H 11250 t V W15 [E0 10 38 F0] # EchoStar 6/8 - 110W - Port 2 S110.0W 99999 V 11250 t v W15 [E0 10 38 F4] S110.0W 99999 H 11250 t V W15 [E0 10 38 F4] Norm

pvrinput compile errors vdr=1.3.37, pvrinput=0.1.0

I'm getting errors when I running "make plugins" for the pvrinput plugin, errors are: root@buzz:/usr/src/VDR# make plugins make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/vdr-1.3.37/PLUGINS/src/pvrinput-0.1.0' make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/vdr-1.3.37/PLUGINS/src/pvrinput-0.1.0' make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/vdr-1.3.37/PLUGINS/src/pvrinput-0.1.0' g++ -g -O2 -Wall -Woverloaded-virtual -c -D_GNU_SOURCE -DPLUGIN_NAME_I18N='"pvrinput"' -I../../../include -I../../../../DVB/include plugin.c g++ -g -O2 -Wall -Woverloaded-virtual -c -D_GNU_SOURCE -DPLUGIN_NAME_I18N='"pvrinput"' -I../../../include -I../../../../DVB/include common.c g++ -g -O2 -Wall -Woverloaded-virtual -c -D_GNU_SOURCE -DPLUGIN_NAME_I18N='"pvrinput"' -I../../../include -I../../../../DVB/include device.c device.c: In member function `virtual void cPvrReadThread::Action()': device.c:417: error: `V4L2_BUF_TYPE_SLICED_VBI_CAPTURE' undeclared (first use this function) device.c:417: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once for each function it appears in.) device.c:418: error: 'union v4l2_format::<anonymous>' has no member named ' sliced' device.c:418: error: `V4L2_SLICED_TELETEXT_B' undeclared (first use this function) make[1]: *** [device.o] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/vdr-1.3.37/PLUGINS/src/pvrinput-0.1.0' make: *** [plugins] Error 2 root@buzz:/usr/src/VDR# I'm running slackware 10.2, kernel 2.6.13, gcc 3.3.6, using ivtv driver 0.4.0 and using the DVB drivers from the kernel.

Im guessing that it maybe video4linux2 related, but vdr and ivtv compile fine, just the pvrinput plugin isnt, I've got the following v4l2 modules loaded root@buzz:/usr/src/VDR# lsmod | grep v4 v4l1_compat 13188 2 cx8800,saa7146_vv v4l2_common 4864 2 cx8800,saa7146_vv Any ideas what the problem could be ?

VDR and diseqc 1.2 documentation
by Paul Lacatus 28 Dec '05

28 Dec '05

I vwant to use a diseqc 1.2 compatible positioner with vdr. Until now I found only data about using diseqc switches . I already have some positions in the positioner memory and I want only to select a sattelite not some fancy things like searching position from the vdr IR remote or storing. I need some documentation adout diseqc1.2 and vdr implementation of standard. Thanks

HDTV not in mpeg2 ?
by Gregoire Favre 28 Dec '05

28 Dec '05

Hello, I would like to try what's written in http://www.digitalfernsehen.de/news/news_50330.html that explains : "Astra HD mit MPEG-4 ist über Astra 19,2 Grad Ost,12.440 MHz vertikal, SR 27.500, FEC 9/10 zu empfangen" which I think don't need to be translated. I don't know if they are some other FTA channels on either Astra or Hotbird that are not in mpeg2 ? Would it be hard with for example xine to test those ? Thank you very much, -- Grégoire FAVRE

Problem in migrating vdr 1.2.6 -> vdr-1.3.37-0.lvn.1.4
by Otto J. Makela 28 Dec '05

28 Dec '05

I've up till now been running a rather antiquated hand-built vdr 1.2.6 on a similarly moldy RH9 installation, accessed mainly via vdradmin. I now moved the card (Hauppauge full-feature DVB-C w/CI+CAM) to a new Fedora Core 4 installation with ready-built vdr-1.3.37-0.lvn.1.4 and vdradmin-0.97-1.lvn.6.am3.4.2.4 from Livna.org, but all did not go according to plan. The first hurdle was downloading and installing the card firmware, why, oh why, can't the package creators actually document what they have and have not included with it? Both packages just include the standard (nigh-useless) original documentation. Of course the fact that vdr says the firmware should go to /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware instead of the correct location /lib/firmware did not help much, could this be fixed? Once that was done, trying out the old 1.2.6 channels.conf (which I had generated using my converter, see [1] below), I realized vdr only found the national broadcaster (YLE) bouquet channels, everything else (both free and encrypted) was missing. I decided to just try scanning the cable, but this didn't work too well: # /usr/bin/scandvb -o vdr /usr/share/dvb-apps/dvb-c/fi-htv scanning /usr/share/dvb-apps/dvb-c/fi-htv using '/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0' and '/dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0' initial transponder 283000000 5900000 0 4 >>> tune to: 283:M128:C:5900: WARNING: filter timeout pid 0x0011 WARNING: filter timeout pid 0x0000 WARNING: filter timeout pid 0x0010 dumping lists (0 services) Done. (syslog entries) Dec 26 00:15:12 piglet kernel: av7110_wait_msgstate: timeout waiting for MSGSTATE 0040 Dec 26 00:15:13 piglet kernel: dvb-ttpci: __av7110_send_fw_cmd(): timeout waiting for COMMAND idle Dec 26 00:15:13 piglet kernel: dvb-ttpci: av7110_send_fw_cmd(): av7110_send_fw_cmd error -110 Dec 26 00:15:13 piglet kernel: dvb-ttpci: av7110_fw_cmd error -110 Consulting the linuxtv Wiki [2] I found out that the format of the file had changed, and noted that the new vdr had changed my original channels file to include the bouquet information for YLE. I did a few changes to my converter to do likewise [3], but things did not really improve. I still have just the YLE channels and nothing else. I'm pretty much out of ideas. What can cause this, and what can I do? Does anyone have a ready working channels.conf for DVB-C in Helsinki? 1. http://eetis.co.jyu.fi/dvb/ 2. http://www.linuxtv.org/vdrwiki/index.php/Syntax_of_channels.conf 3. Though, where am I supposed to find a proper provider name, which as far as I know technically is NOT the same thing as a bouquet name, as several providers can share one bouquet? -- /* * * Otto J.

Xbox VDR -- anyone using it?
by Mlists 28 Dec '05

28 Dec '05

Hi all, I have VDR running on my Xbox (Xebian linux). I have installed the version published by a user and its using vdr 1.3.22. It has Enigma installed but no epg with more then now next display. I compiled 1.3.37, with yaepg and moved the vdr executables and libs to a copy of the Xbox VDR version. I left all of the config in place and the lirc configs. Running irw with lirc shows it is running and is seeing the right remote control commands. The problem I'm having is that the lirc commands are not being seen by vdr. I don't have the original makefiles used for the 1.3.22 build so my question is do I need to have specific settings for lirc commands to be recognized. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Also if anyone has already built an xbox version with a recent version then please let me know where I can find it. Thanks Norm

I'm streaming over 54Mb 802.11g :d but...the sat quality just needs 4Mbitps I think(my settings) I'll try your script Benjamin Hess but...I'm running vdr as user...how can I configure to run the remux?what's the correct file? João Mamede I too would love to see this feature to stream over a 11Mb Wifi LAN where DVB streams are slightly too fast to be handled :)

DVD plugin compile problem
by Steve Brown 27 Dec '05

27 Dec '05

Hi, I seem to be having a problem compiling the DVD plugin with: vdr-1.3.27 kernel-dvb 2.6.9 gcc 2.95.4 libdvdcss 1.2.9 libdvdnav 0.1.11 (? out of changelog) I'm guessing it's maybe compiler related, but I'd really not change it if at all possible. The VDR box is diskless and it'd take an age to rebuild under a newer compiler... Thanks for any helpful clues! g++ -O3 -Wall -Woverloaded-virtual -O3 -c -D_GNU_SOURCE -DPLUGIN_NAME_I18N='"dvd"' -I../../../include -I../../../../DVB/include -I/usr/include/dvdnav dvddev.c In file included from ../../../../DVB/include/asm/byteorder.h:57, from ../../../../DVB/include/linux/cdrom.h:14, from dvddev.c:26: ../../../../DVB/include/linux/byteorder/little_endian.h:43: syntax error before `(' ../../../../DVB/include/linux/byteorder/little_endian.h:47: parse error before `*' ../../../../DVB/include/linux/byteorder/little_endian.h: In function `__u64 __le64_to_cpup(...)': ../../../../DVB/include/linux/byteorder/little_endian.h:49: `p' undeclared (first use this function) ../../../../DVB/include/linux/byteorder/little_endian.h:49: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once ../../../../DVB/include/linux/byteorder/little_endian.h:49: for each function it appears in.) ../../../../DVB/include/linux/byteorder/little_endian.h:50: warning: control reaches end of non-void function `__le64_to_cpup(...)'
