Patch #2: What's on at Prime Time?
by Sascha Volkenandt 26 Sep '05

26 Sep '05

Hi list, I'll be releasing this and a few other patches for VDR 1.3.33, which have evolved during the last months while working on XeatreOS (a distribution based on LinVDR 0.7, which is used for the Xeatre boxes, http://www.xeatre.tv/). Some of their functionality may already be included in plugins or other patches. Nevertheless, I'd like to release them now, and let everybody decide whether they are useful or not. This one adds a "What's on at Prime Time" to the schedules. Prime Time is configurable and defaults to 20:15. When not used by "Switch", the blue button can be used to access this function. Otherwise, the green button can be used to cycle between Now, Next and Prime Time. Greetings, Sascha Volkenandt

Patch #1: Kill process before opening Devices
by Sascha Volkenandt 26 Sep '05

26 Sep '05

Hi list, I'll be releasing this and a few other patches for VDR 1.3.33, which have evolved during the last months while working on XeatreOS (a distribution based on LinVDR 0.7, which is used for the Xeatre boxes, http://www.xeatre.tv/). Some of their functionality may already be included in plugins or other patches. Nevertheless, I'd like to release them now, and let everybody decide whether they are useful or not. This first one adds a commandline parameter '-k' to VDR. Using this, you can specify an arbitrary PID which will be killed just before VDR opens the DVB devices. This way the gap between a possible boot-up screen/movie and Live-TV gets shorter. Greetings, Sascha Volkenandt

VDR 1.3.33 Recording-Menu
by hgm.bg 26 Sep '05

26 Sep '05

Hallo Klaus, I just want to mention that it is refreshing to open the Recording-Menu with VDR 1.3.33, i used to wait for more than 30 Seconds. It's new to see several entries to appear during the scrolling but that's okay if the Menu is appearing immediately which it does. Thank you for this feature...... Greets /hgm.bg

vdr crashes when exiting replay of recording
by Bernhard Stegmaier 26 Sep '05

26 Sep '05

Hi! In the last time, it happened very often that upon exiting the replay of a recording, vdr simply dies (no log message, all vdr processes simply vanish). Probably due to the repacker issues or other things like bad reception I often had bad recordings in the last few weeks (can be seen visually or when converting them to .mpg with pvastrumento). It seems that it crashes relatively reliably upon exiting replay of such bad recordings, but I am not sure about this observation. Does anybody have similar experiences or can anybody give me any hint how to investigate this issue further? BTW: Tried to record Enterprise yesterday... and got lots of these: ... Sep 25 12:55:06 vdr vdr[13910]: cAudioRepacker(0xC0): skipped 416 bytes to sync on next audio frame Sep 25 12:55:06 vdr vdr[13910]: cAudioRepacker(0xC0): skipped 136 bytes to sync on next audio frame Sep 25 12:55:06 vdr vdr[13906]: cAudioRepacker(0xC0): skipped 416 bytes to sync on next audio frame ... Sep 25 12:55:22 vdr vdr[13910]: cDolbyRepacker: skipped 96 bytes to sync on next AC3 frame Sep 25 12:55:22 vdr vdr[13910]: cDolbyRepacker: skipped 147 bytes while syncing on next AC3 frame ... Is that OK? Signal quality seems to be fine for Sat1 and I had no (visual) problems despite this recording up to now. This file also crashed VDR when exiting form replaying that recording. Current setup: Epia M10000 Board, 1 FF-Card, Vanilla 1.3.32 (with femon, epgsearch, and graphlcd), DVB from kernel 2.6.12-gentoo-r10 Bernhard -- Bernhard Stegmaier Lehrstuhl Informatik III Tel. +49 89 289-17259 TU München, Zimmer 02.11.042 FMI bernhard.stegmaier(a)in.tum.de Boltzmannstr. 3, 85748 Garching

[PATCH] vdr-1.3.33 - channelfilter 0.1
by Walter Koch 25 Sep '05

25 Sep '05

Moin, this patch filters the channel list on demand. A additional column of channel attributes is also added: "t" = TV "r" = radio "d" = data "x" = encrypted Pressing the key "2" in the channel list hides all non TV channels. Pressing the key "3" hides all non radio channels. Pressing the key "4" hides all encrypted channesls (caid>4) Pressing the "4" again shows the encrypted channels again. This works also in conjunction with the other filters. e.g. pressing "2" and then "4", results in a list containing only unencrypted tv channels. The filtering works also together with vdr's own sorting (key "0") Pressing "1" or closing and reopening the channel list resets any filtering. I tested the patch against vdr 1.3.31 and vdr 1.3.33. It should also works with older 1.3.x-Versions. There are no translations yet. I'll add them after final bugfixing. Install it as usual in the source directory of vdr patch -p1 < vdr-1.3.xx-channelfilter-0.1.diff make make plugins (a header file was changed, so plugin needs to be rebuild too) Homepage www.u32.de/vdr.html#patches Gruss, Walter -- Die Gedanken sind frei. Das Nähere regelt ein Bundesgesetz.

[ANNOUNCE] VDR developer version 1.3.33
by Klaus Schmidinger 25 Sep '05

25 Sep '05

VDR developer version 1.3.33 is now available at ftp://ftp.cadsoft.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-1.3.33.tar.bz2 A 'diff' against the previous version is available at ftp://ftp.cadsoft.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-1.3.32-33.diff The changes since version 1.3.32: - Fixed two errors in 'newplugin' (thanks to Alexander Rieger). - Fixed converting arbitrarily formatted summary.vdr files (thanks to Thomas Günther). - Fixed handling color buttons in cMenuEditStrItem (thanks to Alexander Rieger). - Added cChannel::LinkChannels() and cChannel::RefChannel() (suggested by Helmut Auer). Note that VDR itself doesn't actually use the linked channels, yet, so there is no guarantee that this really works under all circumstances. - Added a missing include statement to the 'sky' plugin (thanks to Alfred Zastrow for reporting this one). - Fixed handling key macros with keys after @plugin (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg for reporting this one). - Fixed error handling in cCiTransportConnection::RecvTPDU() (thanks to Georg Acher for reporting this one). - Removed obsolete 'shift' code in device.[hc]. - The SVDRP command DELR no longer triggers a complete reload of the global Recordings list, but rather deletes that particular entry. - The list of recordings is now read in a separate thread, resulting in a faster startup if there are a great many of recordings, or the disk(s) have to spin up. If the Recordings menu is opened while the list of recordings is still being read, the menu will be updated accordingly. Plugins that access the global Recordings variable should lock the thread, either by calling Recordings.Lock(); ... Recordings.Unlock(); or by putting something like cThreadLock RecordingsLock(&Recordings); into the respective code block. Thanks to Carsten Koch for his help in testing and debugging this. - The 'new' indicator in the Recordings menu is now kept up-to-date (thanks to Thomas Günther). - Updated the Romanian OSD texts (thanks to Lucian Muresan). - Updated the Russian OSD texts (thanks to Oleg ???). - The '.update' file in the video directory is now touched when a recording is added or deleted, so that other VDR instances can update their lists (thanks to Alexander Rieger). - Made the function ExchangeChars() public (suggested by Lucian Muresan). Have fun! Klaus

Hi, starting vdr i get this: glibber:/tmp/vdr # vdr -Panalogtv 13:55:01 analogTV version 0.9.37 starting up ... 13:55:01 13:55:01 Copyright (C) 2003 .. 2005 by Andreas Kool (akool(a)gmx.de) 13:55:01 13:55:01 The analogTV plugin is the work of many people; 13:55:01 for at least a partial list see CREDITS. 13:55:01 13:55:01 analogTV comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details see COPYING. 13:55:01 This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it 13:55:01 under certain conditions; see COPYING for details. 13:55:01 13:55:01 Detected Linux version 2.6.12-default 13:55:01 Detected VDR version 1.2.6 13:55:01 Detected plain-vanilla VDR (hopefully :-) Segmentation fault glibber:/tmp/vdr # I have a Hauppauge PVR350. Are the versions i use somehow incompatible? Without the option "-Panalogtv" vdr finds no card and exits immediately. Do you have any recommendations on the versions to use together? Any other hints? Best regards, Torsten.
