VDSB with Kernel 2.6.13
by Stephan Schreiber 04 Oct '05

04 Oct '05

Hi, I got something I desperately need help with: I have got one FF card plus 3 Nova CI Budget Cards, usually using the latest driver, firmware and VDR versions. After having upgraded to Kernel 2.6.13, I get the dreaded "Video Data Stream Broken" error as soon as a recording starts. Vanilla VDR 1.3.32 (no plugins besides remote) with "WAIT_FOR_TUNER_LOCK" reports "no dvb card available for recording" instead: Sep 20 17:40:44 [vdr] timer 5 (1 1740-2040 '@TITLE EPISODE') start Sep 20 17:40:44 [vdr] record /video0/(a)Brisant_Boulevardmagazin/2005-09-20.17.40.10.01.rec Sep 20 17:40:49 [vdr] ERROR: device 2 has no lock, can't attach receiver! Sep 20 17:40:49 [vdr] ERROR: Keine freie DVB-Karte zum Aufnehmen! The log reports 4 video devices found. When switching back to 2.6.12 everything works fine again (same driver, same firmware)...no problem recording from 4 different transponders... Of course I also tried the latest (yesterday's) CVS driver and the latest Firmware (fb2620). >From looking at dmesg I can tell the cards' IRQ assignments have changed, but still each card uses its own one. Also, they still share their IRQs with the very same other PCI devices. szap seems to be able to tune, though, as it reports FE_HAS_LOCK on all 4 cards when tuning to "Das Erste". Any hints on how to debug this further? Thanks, Stephan

Hi. I've been using vdr-xine, and am giving softdevice a go instead. How do you get it to start in full-screen mode?

[PATCH] Base64 output (and related stuff) for the SVDRP GRAB command
by Darren Salt 03 Oct '05

03 Oct '05

The attached patch does three things to the GRAB command: * If the filename is "-", it outputs the file, encoded using base64, to the socket. Result code 216 is used. * Files are restricted to being in "/tmp" and "$VIDEODIR/snaps.dir"). If a full pathname is not given, the default is "$VIDEODIR/snaps.dir". (This is my previously-existing fix for CAN-2005-0071. It's rolled up into this patch because it gets reindented; it occupies the section between the two "we're using a ..." comments.) * Writing to files is permitted only for connections from localhost since it is _likely_ that only users on the local machine have access to them. (This is done entirely in the first patch hunk for svdrp.c.) It works with 1.3.33 and is cleanly applicable to 1.3.34. Ideally, cDevice::GrabImage (and methods which override this) would require a file handle instead of a filename. This change would require that some plugins (vdr-xine, for one) also be patched, so I've not done this - yet. -- | Darren Salt | d youmustbejoking,demon,co,uk | nr.

Feature request - 1.5x playback with sound
by Kartsa 03 Oct '05

03 Oct '05

I've once asked about this from Klaus and he did not see this feasible at that time. If I remember correctly he thought that this would be something that should be done in the device itself. Well I was just watching a DVD with PowerDVD windows player and it has the ability to play back with 1.5x and 2.0x speeds with sound. Without changing the pitch. And that has to be done with software since I have no kind of hardware to do that. I know that mplayer can play with many speeds with sound but the pitch changes also. So I am not sure in which direction this feature request should be aimed at :) Originally I had this idea from my JVC hd recorder which has 1.5x playback possibility. Sometimes there are programs that you just wand to speed up a little :D Oh, and ofcourse subtitling should work also as it does with PowerDVD. BR Kartsa No virus found in this outgoing message.

Radio channels in VDR
by Joerg Knitter 02 Oct '05

02 Oct '05

Hi, there are some points that I don´t like with the current implementation of radio channels: 1) I have sorted my channel list lately and have put the new German radio channels (BR, HR, WDR etc.) at the beginning of the channels.conf. But after an EPG scan, I got all those channels again and the end of the channels.conf, so that I have all of them twice. Unfortunately, I don´t have access to my channels.conf now so that I can´t post parts of it, but if somebody else has this problem, this seems to be a VDR bug as long as Astra does not send those channels twice. 2) I was told (if I understood correctly) that because radio channels don´t transmit video data, the index.vdr contains an I frame for every audio packet. This has 2 disadvantages: 1. The time is displayed wrong, and 2. starting a radio recording takes very long (around 10 seconds without any reaction of VDR?) on a 90 minutes recording from "WDR Mehrkanaltest" until I hear anything, maybe because it takes so long to read the index.vdr? The advantage seems to be that I can cut radio at every single frame, but as I am also not able to this with TV and need external tools for this (I use Cuttermaran for Win), I would rather prefer exact time information and a faster start of playback and use external tools if I want it exact (e.g. for archiving it on DVD). Frame exact cut for TV and radio could then become a goal for VDR 1.5.x. 3) A separate main menu entry for radio channels. With kind regards Joerg

There exists the "ShowRecordingLenght-Patch" for vdr-1.2.6 and > some early 1.3.x versions, but unfortunately it isn't ported to recent vdr > versions. Maybe this function could be included into vdr too. Have you tried Bigpatch, it contains enhanced AIO-patch with the features you described. But anyhow, there is "showrecording" length patches up to recent VDR versions. http://www.vdrportal.de/board/thread.php?threadid=39474&sid=967c6f7f158a9ac… Cut from other thread for older big patch version: --------------------------------------------- Bigpatch für VDR 1.3.27 enthält folgendes: Bigpatch für VDR 1.3.27 enthält folgendes: Patch: enAIO Version: vdr-1.3.27-enAIO-2.3 Autor: Rolf Ahrenberg Weitere Infos: HISTORY-enAIO oder www.saunalahti.fi/~rahrenbe/vdr/ enAIO Sammelpatch enthält folgende Patches: - Easyinput Patch by Marcel Schaeben / Patrick Maier - Rename Recordings Patch by Torsten Kunkel - Menu Selection Patch by Peter Dittmann - Recording Length Patch by Tobias Faust Patch: enAIO-rm Version: 1.3.24-enAIO-2.2-rm-b Autor: ralf1970@vdrportal Weitere Infos: HISTORY-enAIO-rm oder www.vdrportal.de/board/thread.php?thread...ht=enAIO+2+2+rm enAIO-rm "Rumpf" Sammelpatch enthält noch folgende weiteren Patches: - DVDArchiveDisplay-Patch - ShowLongPath-Patch - CmdSubmenu-Patch - JumpPlay-Patch --------------------------------------------- Regards, Jori

Image display during mp3 replay / DeviceStillPicture
by Lars von Wedel 02 Oct '05

02 Oct '05

Hello, I want to display various (cover) images in Muggle during music replay. Thus, the background image displayed using DeviceStillPicture needs to be changed during replay. The code I use is from the background cover patch for the mp3 plugin. It works fine, but the music replay is interrupted for a short period when the image changes. I suspect, that the sleep statement in the original code is responsible for this: if( the_setup.UseDeviceStillPicture ) { sleep(1); DeviceStillPicture( buffer, sp.size ); } In its original environment, the code is fine as the fragment above is executed before music replay starts. Removing the sleep statement makes the whole thing crash. Any ideas, how I can display alternating background images while replaying music? Lars P.S. In case this is of help: I use vdr-1.3.33, kernel 2.6-11 with kernel drivers, firmware 261f, TT DVB-s rev1.5 ---

PVR350, analogtv plugin, mp1e
by Torsten Mohr 02 Oct '05

02 Oct '05

Hi, i installed vdr-1.3.33, analogtv-0.9.37 and xine-0.7.6. I have a Hauppauge PVR350. I edited /video/channels.conf to have a single entry: S 25:335250:C0D45B6:C:0:301:300:0:A0:12003:0:0:0 vdr complained if the 10th entry was 0, so i added another value. I also installed "mp1e" from the analogtv homepage, it is in rte-09sep04.tar.bz2. I thought this one should match the analogtv plugin. There were no newer versions available. I now start vdr: vdr -Panalogtv -Pxine In another shell i start: xine "vdr:/tmp/vdr-xine/stream#demux:mpeg_pes" xine starts up and displays the OSD of vdr. vdr also tries to start "mp1e", but gives command line options that mp1e does not understand, e.g. "-j". So there is no output to the xine plugin. 1. Why do i need "mp1e" at all, the card already creates an MPEG output stream. Is this not used at all? So i could also use my old BTTV card? 2. How can i get a valid output to the "xine" plugin? Best regards, Torsten.
