Bug #12: Replay stops with blank screen
by Pasi Juppo 20 Nov '05

20 Nov '05

Setup: -vdr-1.3.27-enAIO-2.4.diff -vdr-1.3.27-subtitles-0.3.7-and-ttxtsubs-0.0.5.diff -vdr-1.3.27-finnish.diff and plugins (and patches when needed): -vdr-femon-0.9.0 -vdr-mp3-0.9.12 -vdr-osdteletext-0.5 + vdr-osdteletext-0.5-finnish.diff patch -vdr-subtitles-0.3.7 -vdr-text2skin-1.1 (cvs) -vdr-ttxtsubs-0.0.5 + vdr-ttxtsubs-0.0.5-premium-edition.diff patch -vdr-tvonscreen-0.7.0 + vdr-tvonscreen-0.7.0-1.3.diff patch -vdr-timeline-0.9.0 + vdr-1.3.25-timeline-0.9.0.diff patch -vdr-sysinfo-0.0.4a DVB drivers are from kernel 2.6.12.1. DVB-C card is Technotrend's FF card (v1.5 iirc). NTPL is disabled (export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.1). Bug: VDR: Replay stops with blank screen 1. Viewing encrypted channel 2. Started replaying a recording => after few seconds replaying stops and nothing is shown at the screen (no sound either) Cure: change of channel back and forth cured the blank screen (replay also worked fine till the end of movie).

Testing multi CAM mode
by Klaus Schmidinger 19 Nov '05

19 Nov '05

I have uploaded a patch against VDR 1.3.36 to ftp://ftp.cadsoft.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-1.3.36-multicamtest.diff which is a first attempt to allow multiple channels to be decrypted at the same time, provided the CAM supports this. There is currently no test whether this operation is possible or how many channels a given CAM can decrypt simultaneously, so use this with extreme care! This is just for testing!! With my AlphaCrypt CAM I have successfully tested 3 parallel recordings of encrypted channels on the same transponder. Now the reason why I am providing this patch is that I'd like to invite you folks to try this out and maybe see what might be wrong here. The problem is that whenever a channel is added or removed from the CA_PMT data, there are distortions in the recordings. What I'm doing is to send either a single CA_PMT object (marked as CPLM_ONLY), in case there is only one channel to decrypt, or a list of such objects (CPLM_FIRST/CPLM_MORE/CPLM_LAST), in case there is more than one channel. The standard says: When the CA application receives a CA_PMT with a new list of programmes, it starts analysing the new list and usually stops the descrambling of the programmes of the previous list, except if it detects that this new list contains programme(s) or elementary stream(s) of the previous list. In this case, it should continue the descrambling of this programme or elementary stream without interruption visible by the user. For example, the only way to remove a programme from the list consists in sending a new list without the programme. In this case, the module should continue the descrambling of the other programmes of the list without interruption. Another typical example is when the host sends a new CA_PMT because the version_number of the PMT has changed. This change may not affect the CA operation and in this case, the module should not interrupt the descrambling. So from this I would expect no distortions to happen when adding/removing channels from the list of CA_PMT objects. Now there is either a flaw in my code, or my CAM just doesn't work as required by the standard. Any hints here are appreciated. Klaus

[ANNOUNCE] kvdrmon-0.3
by Bernd Juraschek 19 Nov '05

19 Nov '05

Hi, there is an updated version of kvdrmon. There was a missing icon in the tarball ... This icon is only needed if the next recording starts not in the next 24 hours and we are not in countdown mode. In this case the day will be shown and the dot icon was not present. You can download the new files (tarball and ebuild) at http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=88863&package_id=1695… Greetings, Bernd -- Es gibt 10 verschiedene Arten von Menschen: Die einen verstehen das Binärsystem und die anderen verstehen es nicht.

[ANNOUNCE] kvdrmon - a KDE vdr monitor applet
by Bernd Juraschek 19 Nov '05

19 Nov '05

Hello list, running vdr on a monitorless machine, I ever want to know what my vdr is doing whithout the need to use XXV or df. Now after a little programming I want to announce the first version of the kvdrmon KDE kicker applet. This program monitors some vdr activities. It creates an icon in the KDE system tray showing some informations about the VDR: - The current state (playing, recording, idle) - The time of the next scheduled recording(s) or the time to this recording(s) - A tooltip displays the name(s) of the running recording(s) - A window pops up if a recording has started or finished You can select sound files for playing on started or finished recordings. For further informations, download links and installation hints you can look at http://vdr-statusleds.sourceforge.net/vdr . Have fun, Bernd

Will we get a Christmas present (1.4) ?
by Ondrej Wisniewski 17 Nov '05

17 Nov '05

Hello, I know I shouldn't ask but I get the impression that we are close to the next stable VDR version 1.4. New problems still pop up but nothing serious it seems. I might be wrong, though. I already added that to the wishlist I sent to Santa Claus but what are the chances we'll find 1.4 under the Christmas tree ? Malden

...first steps to usability... http://www.copypointburscheid.de/linux/vdr-autosort-0.0.6.tgz ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 2005-11-14: Version 0.0.6 - Added a Setup Menu (described in README) - Added multi-level OSD-Messages to let you know whats going on - You can reload config and start a complete AutoSort-Run from mainmenu, but VDR is unusable for this time (20min here). !!! USE WITH CARE !! - Housekeeping will be interrupted by any remote key now - Implemented 'SetCaFF' and 'SetCa0'. You need the patch to delete Ca special values (autosort will tell you) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I hope it's a bit more comfortable now.

receiver and SwitchChannel
by Patrick Fischer 17 Nov '05

17 Nov '05

I have a questions about switching channels. Maybe I have 3 devices (D1(Primary), D2 and D3) And maybe 4 Channels (C1, C2, C3 and C4) the channels contains VPIDs: (just examples) C1 : 0x001, 0x002, 0x003, 0x004 C2 : 0x005, 0x006, 0x007, 0x008 C3 : 0x009, 0x010, 0x011, 0x012 C4 : 0x013, 0x014, 0x015, 0x016 I want the primary device(D1) to handle the wishes of the user. The last device(D3) should to be locked to Channel C3. (always stay there, LOCKED) The D2 can be set to each channel. If I want to receive VPID 0x004 then my Plugin should test if I can receive the VPID over D1 or D3. If not it should tune D2 to the Channel and receive the data. If I want to add an other receiver to receive VPID 0x016, then my Plugin also test D1 and D3. if not it should test if D2 can be tuned to C4. In this case he cant tune because D2 is tuned to C1 and receive data. --- An other view: 1)D1 is tuned to C1(show a program to user) 2)D3 is locked to C4 (and locked) 3)I create a receiver for 0x005, now D2 tune to C2 and the receiver can receive the data 4)I create a receiver for 0x006, the test resulted that the receiver can be added the D2 5)I create a receiver for 0x010, the test resulted that no device can be tuned. An error produced Can anybody explain me how to create this scenario? Greeting Patrick

Accidental No Signal after channel switch
by Maarten Wisse 17 Nov '05

17 Nov '05

Dear VDR-experts, I've been running my VDR for some time now, with basically only one problem left. The setup is budget card only with a Skystar2 card running on kernel 2.6.13 b2c2-flexcop-pci drivers. This outputs to vdr-1.3.34-vanilla (only dvbplayerpatch from Reinhard Nissl) with vdr-xine-0.7.6 (xxmc enabled output to monitor). The one single problem: at unpredictable moments, VDR-Xine keeps giving the NO SIGNAL message after a channel switch. VDR keeps responding to the remote, reporting channel swithes and menus, but neither video nor audio is displayed anymore (replaying recordings works). A restart of the /etc/init.d/vdr script solves the problem. It seems impossible to predict when it will happens. Fast zapping or slow zapping doesn't seem to trigger the problem. Is this a timeout problem or the like? And if so how to solve it? Is it the driver or vdr? Anyone clues? Best regards, Maarten Wisse
