[ANNOUNCE] vdr-pvrinput-0.0.5
by Andreas Regel 27 Aug '05

27 Aug '05

Hello, there is a new version of the pvrinput plugin available: http://home.arcor.de/andreas.regel/files/pvrinput/vdr-pvrinput-0.0.5.tgz Changes since 0.0.4: - Fixed: memcpy length in last TS packet was wrong (thanks to Christian Cier-Zniewski for reporting). - Made PES to TS conversion MPEG compliant, stuffing in last TS packet is now done with adaptaion field. (thanks to Christian Cier-Zniewski for reporting). - Static variables of PET to TS conversion are now non-static members of cPvrReadThread. This is needed for multiple card support. - Fixed: not switching to new channel when recording starts during watching another analogue channel. Andreas

> > Have you tested all versions between 1.3.24 and 1.3.30? > It would help if we knew which version change exactly causes this. > > Oh, and please try without any patches or plugins (as far as possible). o.k., I will make some tests with 1.3.29 and earlier I just made a short test with vdr 1.3.30, to confirm the problem: yes, again it took only a few minutes to freeze. This time I had started the EPG scan manually befor. With other vdr versions, I usually get a black picture at this moment, but it is possible to switch back to the channel. With vdr 1.3.30, the picture freezes in a funny way: The frozen picture contains of two halfs with the same content. Sorry, I can`t describe it better in english. (Das Bild besteht aus zwei Halften, von denen beide den gleichen Bildinhalt haben) I pressed "2" and the ZDF picture appears back. After about a minute, the picture freezes and the log shows the "can`t set filter"-error. It seems that the problem only appears during an EPG scan. Then I set "EPG scan timeout" to 0 ,and now there are no freezes! It seems that the other problem I posted (live picture freezes when recording starts) does not appear als long as there is no EPG scan running. My machine has a Fuji DVB-C with CI-modul (but no alphacrypt inside) and a Lorenzen DVB-T card. I use the old DVB HEAD driver for 2.4

[ANNOUNCE] vdr-pvrinput-0.0.4
by Andreas Regel 26 Aug '05

Hello, there is a new version of the pvrinput plugin available: http://home.arcor.de/andreas.regel/files/pvrinput/vdr-pvrinput-0.0.4.tgz Changes since 0.0.3: - Switched to a self-written PES to TS conversion. libdvb is no longer needed. - Now using vbi embedded mode for reading the teletext data. - fixed closing the radio device when switching to a non-tuner input (thanks to Jose Alberto Reguero). - Waiting for buffer to fill in GetTsPacket. This speeds up the "hopping" over channels. You can change the kTimeToWaitAfterChannelSwitch value to change the time to wait. 1000 works good for me and slows down things not too much. - renewed ivtv.h to be compatible with ivtv 0.3 versions.

Automatically change the channel at a certain time?
by Gavin Hamill 26 Aug '05

26 Aug '05

Is this possible? With vdr 1.3.27 I'd often set a one-minute timer simply to change the TV channel in case I forget to see a certain programme (it's a live competition, so there's no point in actually recording it).. however vdr 1.3.30 is 'clever' enough to realise that the programme I selected is actually set to the wrong times, correct it, and hence start recording immediately and change the channel... Aug 25 13:33:40 telly vdr[5515]: timer 2 (105 1355-1356 'BrainTeaser') added ... Aug 25 13:41:03 telly vdr[5515]: timer 2 (105 1258-1405 'BrainTeaser') modified (active) Aug 25 13:41:03 telly vdr[5515]: switching device 1 to channel 105 Aug 25 13:41:03 telly vdr[5515]: timer 2 (105 1258-1405 'BrainTeaser') start Is there a 'reminder' plugin, or some way of turning this 'intelligence' off? Cheers, Gavin.

live picture freezes when recording starts
by Martin Dauskardt 26 Aug '05

26 Aug '05

I am not sure if the problem comes with 1.3.27 or 1.3.28, but it is still present in 1.3.30: - I am watching tv, for example Nord3 - a timer records starts on this channel - the live picture freezes. Sometimes I got a black picture and a few seconds later the live picture comes back - when the recording ends, the picture again freezes or -I am watching playback of a recording -recording ends - the picture freezes, does not switch back to live tv Three other people also reported this on http://www.vdrportal.de/board/thread.php?threadid=37983&sid=

I have still big problems with vdr 1.3.30 It seems that only myself and a few other guys from vdrportal have the same problem that I posted on 23.8. ("live picture freezes when recording starts"). Today I recognized that even live tv (ZDF) without starting recordings freezes permanently. ----------log----------------- Aug 25 21:36:57 linvdr user.info vdr[519]: switching to channel 2 Aug 25 21:36:57 linvdr user.debug vdr[535]: transfer thread started (pid=535, tid=10248) Aug 25 21:36:57 linvdr user.debug vdr[536]: receiver on device 1 thread started (pid=536, tid=11273) Aug 25 21:36:57 linvdr user.debug vdr[537]: TS buffer on device 1 thread started (pid=537, tid=12298) Aug 25 21:36:58 linvdr user.info vdr[524]: channel 13 (ZDFinfokanal) event 21:30 'flosse & pfote' status 4 Aug 25 21:36:58 linvdr user.info vdr[524]: channel 14 (ZDFdokukanal) event 21:15 'Allein unter Kuhen Ehenotstand auf dem Bauernhof' status 4 Aug 25 21:36:58 linvdr user.info vdr[524]: channel 22 (Eurosport) event 21:30 'Boxen' status 4 Aug 25 21:36:59 linvdr user.info vdr[524]: channel 11 (3sat) event 21:00 'delta' status 4 Aug 25 21:36:59 linvdr user.info vdr[524]: channel 2 (ZDF) event 20:15 'Die Berliner Runde' status 4 Aug 25 21:36:59 linvdr user.info vdr[524]: channel 21 (EuroNews) event 21:30 'Nachrichten' status 4 Aug 25 21:37:33 linvdr user.debug vdr[519]: switching device 1 to channel 2 Aug 25 21:37:33 linvdr user.info vdr[519]: timer 4 (2 2137-0337 '@TITLE EPISODE') start Aug 25 21:37:33 linvdr user.debug vdr[519]: Title: 'Die Berliner Runde' Subtitle: '' Aug 25 21:37:33 linvdr user.info vdr[519]: record /video0/(a)Die_Berliner_Runde/2005-08-25.21.37.50.99.rec Aug 25 21:37:33 linvdr user.debug vdr[519]: creating directory /video0/@Die_Berliner_Runde Aug 25 21:37:33 linvdr user.debug vdr[519]: creating directory /video0/(a)Die_Berliner_Runde/2005-08-25.21.37.50.99.rec Aug 25 21:37:33 linvdr user.debug vdr[519]: recording to '/video0/(a)Die_Berliner_Runde/2005-08-25.21.37.50.99.rec/001.vdr' Aug 25 21:37:33 linvdr user.debug vdr[538]: file writer thread started (pid=538, tid=13323) Aug 25 21:37:33 linvdr user.debug vdr[539]: recording thread started (pid=539, tid=14348) Aug 25 21:37:44 linvdr user.info vdr[519]: confirm: Aufzeichnung beenden?

ChannelSwitch odd behaviour
by Richard Lithvall 26 Aug '05

26 Aug '05

Hi, While trying to track down what causes problem with a (probably crappy but very useful) patch/plugin to VDR I noticed this odd behaviour when zapping through channels: Aug 25 23:21:51 localhost vdr[3206]: status: cStatusTest::ChannelSwitch 0 0 Aug 25 23:21:51 localhost vdr[3206]: status: cStatusTest::ChannelSwitch 1 0 Aug 25 23:21:51 localhost vdr[3206]: status: cStatusTest::ChannelSwitch 1 4 Aug 25 23:21:51 localhost vdr[3206]: status: cStatusTest::ChannelSwitch 0 4 My primary card is an TT DVB-S 1.6 FF and my secondary card is an TT DVB-T 1.2 FF. Channel 4 is DVB-T. Why are my primary DVB-S card trying to tune this channel? With the patch applied and plugin enabled it causes several more errors such as "ERROR: no DiSEqC parameters found for channel 4" looping over and over until VDR restarts. I've tried with patched/unpatched VDR 1.3.22, 1.3.23 and 1.3.30 and all behave the same. /Richard

Hallo, > Is there a 'reminder' plugin, or some way of turning this > 'intelligence' off? There is a channel-switch-timer patch somewhere on VDR-portal.de - you will have to search ;) It does not record anything, just switch the channel. Greetings Christian Jacobsen
