Retuning if tuning fails...
by Chris Warren 17 Dec '05

17 Dec '05

I have a problem in VDR that sometimes when I change channel I just get corruption displayed on the screen and choppy sound. If this happens I have to tune to a different transponder and back again to get the channel to show correctly. Some times I'll have to do this 2 or 3 times before it'll work. I don't know what's causing this, it happens with both encrypted and FTA channels. I've adjusted my PWM value on my FF card, so I get AFC of (-1) or (0) each time, and I get a frontend lock all the time. Has anyone come across this and does anyone know of a way to either stop it happening, or automatically tune to a different transponder and back again if it happens? Many thanks, Chris

[PATCH] text2skin - show partial channel numbers whilst changing channels
by Chris Warren 17 Dec '05

17 Dec '05

Hi all, Please find attached a patch against the latest CVS version of the text2skin plugin which makes it show partial channel numbers whilst changing channels. The ChannelNumber(const cChannel *Channel, int Number) function performs a check for Channel being null and displays the partial channel number appended by "-" when it is. However it's never called when Channel is null due to a check in display.c.

remote plugin reacts on 2 remote controls
by André Bischof 16 Dec '05

16 Dec '05

Hello, the remote-plugins works well with my nova-t's remote control, but unfortunatly it reacts on my tv's remote-control as well. Switching AV on my tv seems to be the same as the power-button on the nova-t's remote control, thus powering my vdr off. The only solution I can think off is disabling the key in the remote.conf for the power-button or using another button for the power-off event, which both seems not quite nice to me. Do you know another solution? Thanks, André

[ANNOUNCE] New version of mhwepg
by Jean-Claude Repetto 16 Dec '05

16 Dec '05

Hi, Since a few weeks, Dutch people have trouble to get EPG for Canal Digitaal with mhwepg. I have found the reason of the problem : Canal Digitaal does not send anymore the local time in the TOT (Time Offset Table). As a workaround, I have added the -t option that can be used to set manually the time offset (in seconds). In winter : add "-t 3600" to the command line. In summer : add "-t 7200" to the command line. I have posted the new version (0.4.3) on my web site : <http://jrepetto.free.fr/> For people wondering what is mhwepg : mhwepg is a program to extract proprietary EPG Data sent by the Canal+ group (Mediahighway receivers) and parse it into a VDR compatible format. It can be used to get a 7-days EPG for Canal Satellite (France), Cyfra+ (Poland), Canal Digitaal Satelliet (Netherlands), and Sky Italia. Jean-Claude

Channels and pid update possible bug
by Suur Karu 16 Dec '05

Hello. I have a some weird situation with enabled channels name and pids update (vdr-1.3.37). channels.conf fragment: ********** K1;SPACECOM:10722:h:S4.0W:27500:257:258:0:0:1:4369:1:0 OTV;SPACECOM:10722:h:S4.0W:27500:513:514:0:0:2:4369:1:0 1PLUS1;SPACECOM:10722:h:S4.0W:27500:769:770,771:773:0:3:4369:1:0 TV KYIV;SPACECOM:10722:h:S4.0W:27500:1025:1026:0:0:4:4369:1:0 MEGASPORT;SPACECOM:10722:h:S4.0W:27500:1281:1282:0:2600:5:4369:1:0 K2;SPACECOM:10722:h:S4.0W:27500:1537:1538:0:0:6:4369:1:0 TEST;SPACECOM:10722:h:S4.0W:27500:1793:1794:0:0:7:4369:1:0 STB;SPACECOM:10762:h:S4.0W:23250:33:34:38:0:1:0:0:0 M1;SPACECOM:10762:h:S4.0W:23250:49:50,51:0:0:2:0:0:0 TONIS;SPACECOM:10762:h:S4.0W:23250:65:66:0:0:3:0:0:0 ICTV;SPACECOM:10762:h:S4.0W:23250:97:98,99:100:0:5:0:0:0 M1 Int;SPACECOM:10762:h:S4.0W:23250:113:114,115:0:2600:6:0:0:0 ********** For example when switch to channel STB, some channels above from other transponder change names as: K1 to STB OTV to M1 1PLUS1 to TONIS MEGASPORT to ICTV K2 to M1 Int If switch back for example to K1, all upper names restored and bottom changes vice versa. I see, that name pairs have same SI, but other parameters are different. Switcing off name and pids update feature is not a good idea for other useful changes on other channels.. I hope my explanation is clear enough for understanding and any help is welcome. Regards, SK

Re: [vdr] VDR on a Pentium 166 mhz: it works !
by Travel Factory S.r.l. 15 Dec '05

> > Do you speak of VDR > 1.3.27 with c*Repacker family enabled? > I just downloaded vdr-1.3.37, unpacked, installed plugins femon, channelscan and rotor, compiled "make all plugins" I didn't change any parameter so I can't say if c*Repacker is enabled.. how can I check ? Anyway, today I had my first problems: - started a recording from DVB-T, changing channel on the same DVB-T "transponder" is ok, when I switch to sat, audio is from SAT, video is the last frozen frame from DVB-T. Curiously, zapping the sat channels, changing the actual resolution of the sat channel, the frozen frame on screen was resized, zoomed etc. Switching back to DVB-T video started again - seconds afterwards, PC completely locked and I was forced to hard reset Francesco

VDR on a Pentium 166 mhz: it works !
by Travel Factory S.r.l. 15 Dec '05

15 Dec '05

Just to share my experience with really old hardware. I found a couple of IBM Network Station in the dust bin of a friend company and took them home. They have a Pentium 166, 128 mb ram. I fed one of these with a Nexus and an avermedia 771 (DVB-T). I installed a Suse 10 kernel and using the drivers included in the distribution (installed latest firmware) VDR compiles and Nexus is perfectly recognized - I'm working on the aver, recognized by the kernel but not working on VDR. I want to say that VDR seems to work flawlessy in this slow environment. Recording of one channel (RAI 2 on hotbird) results in a 40% CPU, of which 20% for VDR and 20% for system. Ram is almost fully used. Recording of two channels (RAI 1 and RAI 2) makes VDR really irresponsive, but the recordings seems to be ok. Francesco
