Different languaghes on right/left channel
by anders＠sandell.net 07 Oct '05

07 Oct '05

Hi all, I have noticed that some channels (at least Eurosport and Nickelodeon on CanalDigital, S1W) broadcast different languaghes on right/left channel. Eurosport for instance has two audio PID's where one is English/Danish and the other one is Swedish/Norwegian. Is it possible to select channel through VDR audio menu but VDR doesnt remeber the selection so everytime i select Eurosport i have to select swedish manually. (and my daughter gets confused with mixed language on Nickelodeon...) Is this the expected behaviour or have I overlooked something in the configuration?? Kind regards, Anders

RE: [vdr] Plugin cDevice audio switch handling

Hi, >What about > > virtual void SetAudioChannelDevice(int AudioChannel); > >(And why the second posting in HTML?) > >Klaus Maybe I'm doing something wrong the method is there and I see in the the debug log the SetAudioChannelDevice(0) after switching the channel but if I then try to change the audio with the "green button" only SetDigitalAudioDevice(); is shown up.

Plugin cDevice audio switch handling
by b.zierath＠ebv.com 07 Oct '05

07 Oct '05

Hi, I have a question regarding how a cDevice inside a plugin should handle audio channel/track switches from the "green button". The only notification that comes trough is SetDigitalAudioDevice(bool On) but I did expect that there is a notification like SetAudioChannelDevice(int AudioChannel). CU Bernd Zierath

Troubles when resuming from EPG scan
by Tuomas Jormola 07 Oct '05

07 Oct '05

Hello, My VDR system is having some annoying problems with EPG scanning. I'm not quite sure where to begin looking for solution so I thought to share my experiences with this list. First, the system configuration. A regular Athlon64 PC running Ubuntu/ breezy (i386, not 64bit amd64). This is a one-card VDR box with a Technotrend DVB-C 2.1 FF card installed. I've tried with Ubuntu's 2.6.10 and 2.6.12 kernels and self-compiled 2.6.14rc2 (there was some DVB driver updates since 2.6.12 so I thought to try a later kernel too). dvb-ttpci firmware is 261f. VDR version is 1.3.33 with dvbplayer5 patch by Reinhard Nissl, and enAIO 2.6 and dvbsubtitles 0.3.8 patch compiled by Rolf Ahrenberg. These plugins are used: control, subtitles, osdteletext, xine, text2skin, lcdproc, femon. I'm using the Xine plugin with Xine player to display TV with a projector connected to computer's DVI port. The TV network is HTV in Helsinki, Finland. I've got an HTV Conax card connected to the DVB-C card. channels.conf contains about 135 TV, radio and data channels. When the EPG scan kicks in, either automatically after the EPG scan timeout is reached or manually choosing scan in EPG setup or after issuing SCAN command via SVDRP connection, live TV picture goes off and vdr-xine displays a NO SIGNAL picture as expected. But sometimes, it looks like the scan never completes successfully. After about 2 hours since the "info: Starting EPG scan" message in syslog EPG bugfix statistics for various channels might appear to the syslog (but not always, I'm using the EPG bugfix level 3). But the channel that was on before starting the EPG scan is never switched back on. In fact, VDR is unable to display picture and sound on any channel anymore, not even after restarting VDR. You have to unload the dvb_ttpci driver with rmmod and modprobe it again and then it works again. Now the funny thing is that EPG scanning sometimes sort of works. It takes about 7 minutes to complete and then the last channel viewed is switched on again. However, many times after completing the scan, picture has all kinds of disorders so you really can't watch it and sound is awful snap, crackle & pop. Example can be seen in [1]. This is on all channels, all muxen. I sometimes get that also when normally changing channels, but that's pretty rare. Again, just restarting VDR doesn't fix these disorders, you have to reload the kernel driver in order to get working picture. The syslog is flooded with messages that can be seen in [2]. Femon reports very good signal quality all the time. And then, sometimes the scan works just fine, the last channel is restored normally with a clear picture and sound after the scan completes. I've not been able to find any pattern between these three possible outcomes (all channels lost, bad picture while changing back to the last channel, works ok) of EPG scan. Except that automatic scan seems to always produce the all channels lost scenario, though it shouldn't make an sense (the actual scanning process, whether launched automatically or manually, is always the same, right?). But anyways, when you leave the VDR box on for the night and try to watch TV the next day, there's always the NO SIGNAL picture greeting you and no channels available until VDR is stopped, kernel driver reloaded and VDR started again. Any idea what might cause the bad picture after resuming from EPG scan (and occasionally, while normally changing channels)? And why tuning any channel after initiating an EPG scan sometimes doesn't work? Is anyone else using HTV (or other) network experiencing this?

Softdevice or Xine?
by Jan Ekholm 07 Oct '05

07 Oct '05

Hi, We've been happily using VDR with a video projector for almost a year now without any problems. The projector gets a s-video signal from VDR using one of those "add-on" cards that plug into the J2 connector. S-video gives an ok but kinda blurry image. The card seems to be able to provide some kind of component signal too as it has an additional SCART-connector as a separate module, but we've never figured out how to get that one connected and as we've already burnt the J2 of one DVB card, we're a bit careful with anything connected to the J2 connector. So, as s-video seems to be the best we can get out from the DVB cards we've looked at getting the image out using the normal video output of the system. The projector has an input for DVI/HDMI/VGA and the VDR system has DVI/VGA out, so it seems like that would be the best way to go to get a good image out, preferably avoiding any analog conversions along the way. There seems to be two solutions that are currently used: Softdevice http://www.vdr-wiki.de/wiki/index.php/Softdevice-plugin Xine-plugin http://www.vdr-wiki.de/wiki/index.php/Xine-plugin Those seem to be the best homepages for the plugins, but as I'm no native German speaker (I can order a beer, but that's about it) I have a fairly hard time grokking the finer details of pros and cons. What do you others use when you want to get a good image from VDR? Which of those plugins is the preferable solution in this case? The system in use should cope just fine with some decoding done by the CPU. The system has a Sempron-something 2400+ and an ATI fanless 9250 card (I think it was). Comments? -- Jan Ekholm jan.ekholm(a)smultron.net

Allocating Channels to Specific Devices
by Morfsta 06 Oct '05

06 Oct '05

Hi, Could anyone tell me if its possible to allocate channels to be played only through specific DVB devices This would be useful in my system as I have a TT Premium DVB-S and a Skystar 2. The TT premium obviously can't handle HDTV so when I select a HDTV channel I would prefer it only to be handled by the Skystar card and not the TT premium. Its rather like the 'sourcecaps' patch but channel based rather than satellite based. TIA, Morfsta
