Meanwhile, you need to patch the dvb drivers with a new firmware... I also have a budget card... So I don't know if it works so nice than that, but it seems !

DVB-S2 and current cards
by Robert Schneider 26 Oct '05

26 Oct '05

Hi, just reading heise newsticker, I wonder whether DVB-S2 is something that really needs new hardware to be received. In the end, you get a data stream from the satellite and my understanding was, what makes the standard DVB-S is basically the specification of the data. Can someonw shed some light on this for me? Regards, Robert

Dumb question on DVB-C
by Simon Baxter 25 Oct '05

25 Oct '05

Hi. I'm currently using a Nova-T card for terrestrial DVB, but would like to add a DVB-C card and connect to cable. Am I right in assuming that channels on cable are organised much like on terrestrial, with 3 or 4 transponder frequencies carrying 3 or 4 channels each? I wonder, because as the cable is provided by a single supplier, I wasn't sure how the channels are mapped. Secondly, are channels that require CAM decrypting all generally on the same transponder? Or are these pay-channels interspersed with the free- to-air ones across the frequencies? Thanks

[ANNOUNCE] Enigma-0.3a
by Andreas Brugger 24 Oct '05

24 Oct '05

Hi list! I just wanted to realease a updated package of the Enigma skin which now uses a modded version of the 'Vera'-font. Now it is possible to view the 'WarEagle'-icons. this mod was kindly provided by Frank Jepsen. See the changelog and the readme for more information. The skin is available on my homepage (http://home.pages.at/brougs78) or directly via the following link: http://count.primawebtools.de/dlcountx.php?encid=40102&id=108230 Here the changelog: 2005.07.05: Version 0.3a - added finnish translation (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg) - added the 'Misc'-section in Enigma.trans to keep the log clean of some annoying 'no translation found for ...'-messages (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg) - altered the condition for the styling (text with variable width or fixed width) of 'MenuText' to comply with vdr-1.3.25 (thanks to C.Y.M) - now using a modified version of the 'Vera'-font which was kindly provided by Frank Jepsen. It includes the 'WarEagle'-icons (see README for more info). The monospaced font in the command-window is still the original VeraMono.ttf Bye and have fun, Andreas Brugger

vdr video data stream broken
by Gregory Dudek 24 Oct '05

24 Oct '05

A couple of times I have seen the vdr message ERROR: video data stream broken which (a) leads to a vdr exit, and (b) keeps happening every time I re-launch vdr. As far as I can tell, this occurs if a recording gets scheduled on a channel that is (subsequently) deleted or otherwise unavailable (e.g blocked with the very nice 'taste' plugin). This can be a real pain to figure out! My solution is to (quickly) visit the timers submenu and cancel the offending recording before the next exit (which takes 30 seconds to occur). I thought I should mention this in case somebody else gets stuck, or in case somebody has a proper fix. The relevant code is on line 118 or recorder.c in vdr version 1.3.34. I have tried to patch it by replacing the call to cThread::EmergencyExit(true); with: Cancel(3); break; but the error is erratic enough that I can't be sure this is a fix.

HDD spin down and VDR
by Matthias Fechner 23 Oct '05

23 Oct '05

Hi, i will enable the power saving of my harddisk. I have a VDR system with 2xFF card and 4 Harddisks. Now i'm not sure, if this is a good idea and hwoto do it. I have enable this powersaving, has it any disadvantage to the livetime of the harddisk? Should i enable the powersaving or better the spin down in the BIOS or can i do it on my linux system? What is the behaviour of VDR if a recording is starting and the HDD is not running? Will VDR send a startsignal to the harddisk early enough? Thx for your answers. Bye Matthias

encrypted channels - dumb question
by Simon Baxter 23 Oct '05

23 Oct '05

Hi. Has anyone been able to get VDR working for encrypted channels? Whether it be digital terrestrial, cable or satellite? I'm not wanting to do anything illegal, but I would like to know how this works. Some providers give you a smart-card, so I guess you'd need some kind of plug-in to allow validation of the 'key'. I've also had cable subscriptions where if you want another channel added, you phone the provider of your set-top-box and they enable something. How does this work? Could this be done with a DVB-C VDR setup? Thanks

patch: Consistent menu behaviour
by rollercoaster＠reel-multimedia.com 23 Oct '05

23 Oct '05

as said a few days ago, i modified the posted patch to apply and work cleanly on vanilla-vdr. this patch does two things: (sorry Klaus ;) ) 1. makes the "menu" button close a plugin if it is open (instead of opening the main menu) 2. makes the channelinfo remain visible forever if the user requested it (with the OK button). this option can (now) be turned off via Setup->OSD->Timeout requested channel info have fun, Thiemo
