How to create a VDR compatible MPEG2 file?
by Fabian Wolter 25 Aug '05

25 Aug '05

Hi, I want to digitise my old analogue tapes, so that I can play-back them with VDR 1.3.27. For the recording/multiplexing proccess I used the following commands: streamer -t 10:00 -s 720x576 -r 25 -o video.yuv -O audio.wav -F stereo mp2enc -o audio.mp2 < audio.wav mpeg2enc -f 9 -q 1 -o video.m1v -V 1024 --no-constraints < video.yuv mplex audio.mp2 video.m1v -o 001.vdr -f 9 With the program genindex I created the index.vdr. The recorded files are playable but the fast-forward/rewind stucks. (guess 0.25 fps) While fast-forwarding/rewinding, there appear lots of the following messages: > Aug 24 22:13:06 vcr vdr[15601]: fixIFrame: PES start code not found at offset 19460 (data length: 67584)! So what's my fault? (I guess at the multiplexing proccess) Regards, Fabian

How to turn off the tuner?
by Marko Mäkelä 25 Aug '05

25 Aug '05

I'm working on a patch that would introduce a "suspend" key to VDR. The output device I'm using (softdevice) has a suspend function, but it has some limitations. Most notably, the playback of recordings won't pause when the softdevice is suspended. I got that one already fixed in my suspend patch for vdr 1.3.30, but I have another question: Does vdr always keep the receivers tuned to transponders? It would save some CPU cycles if vdr wouldn't read the TS data from the tuner and also some electric power if the tuner could be turned off. From my experiments with tzap and friends, I got the impression that there is a timeout mechanism in the kernel driver for turning off the tuner. The idea is that those who use their vdr box as an always-on appliance (such as firewall, router, file server, audio jukebox, whatever) could reduce the power consumption and heat production when not recording or watching DVB streams.

tt-pci wierdness (RequestParameter error)
by Steve Brown 25 Aug '05

25 Aug '05

Hi all, Suddenly on Saturday afternoon, my FF tt-pci card has failed by the looks of it. It's been in the same installation for a couple of years with nothing like this previously. It's in a Via M10000 EPIA board. I searched the archives and found a thread from 2003 where sombody else reported the same problem, and there was a sugegstion of adding 'acpi=force pci=npapic' in the boot parameters. I've tried that and it doesn't make any difference. Note the wierdness with the reported device 'AV7111526255234(0)' Below is an extract from the syslog. Any ideas? Aug 25 12:47:56 192 kernel: DVB: registering new adapter (Technotrend/Hauppauge PCI rev2.1 or 2.2).

dvd-burn and imlib2 errors
by Simon Baxter 25 Aug '05

25 Aug '05

Hi. I'm trying to get the DVD burner plugin working, but have some Imlib2 problems. The logs say : BURN: Couldn't load image /video/vdr-1.3.27/plugins/burn/menu-bg.png imlib2 error code 14 BURN: Couldn't load image /video/vdr-1.3.27/plugins/burn/menu-bg-0.png imlib2 error code 4 BURN: Subprocess watcher stopped When I do a 'imlib2_test' I get Segmentation Fault Although the README says tested with Imlib2 1.0.5 I'm using 1.2.0 because I wasn't sure of the affect of downgrading. How do I use this library? Can I recover the DVD-burn job once imlib2 is fixed? Thanks

softdevice + directfb gives black screen
by Per Mellander 25 Aug '05

25 Aug '05

EPIA system with kernel 2.4.25 + epia2 patch DirectFB-0.9.22 ffmpeg-0.4.8 DFB++-0.9.22 vdr-1.3.30 softdevice-CVS ( 20050823 ) alsa-1.0.9 One installation is based on a stripped down RH9 with gcc 3.2.2 20030222 (RedHat). The other is a Core Linux install with gcc 3.2. I have used the exact same software packages for both installations. viafb is loaded without any parameters ( modprobe viafb ) On the RedHat installation I can run vdr -P"softdevice -vo dfb:" and I get a picture on my TFT. Then I reboot with the Core Linux install and I only get a black screen after starting vdr. I have the same directfbrc, the same fb.modes but I just can't get it to work on the Core Linux system. The output log is attached. When vdr is running ( with a black screen ) I get the following: # fbset -i mode "800x600-96" # D: 36.000 MHz, H: 33.834 kHz, V: 96.394 Hz geometry 800 600 800 1200 32 timings 27778 56 80 79 11 128 12 hsync high vsync high laced true rgba 8/16,8/8,8/0,8/24 endmode Frame buffer device information: Name : Via CLE266 Address : 0xd8000000 Size : 33554432 Type : PACKED PIXELS Visual : TRUECOLOR XPanStep : 0 YPanStep : 1 YWrapStep : 0 LineLength : 3200 MMIO Address: 0xdc000000 MMIO Size : 16777216 Accelerator : Unknown (77) The only difference as I see it is the compiler ( 3.2.2-redhat versus 3.2 ). Any clues?

Streamdev questions
by Peace Monk 25 Aug '05

25 Aug '05

Hi, I got streamdev working with vdr-1.3.30, and I am able to tune to a channel via VLC media player on a windows box via URL http://htpc:3000/PS/275. This works fine, however, I am not able to change the channel on TV anymore, and keeps locked onto 275 until I close the VLC client. Is there a way to allow VDR to change the channel via remote (or vdradmin), and thus streamdev also starts streaming the channel I switch to? Also, how can I invoke a VDR recording say from a VLC client? Thanks, Monk.

which USB card??
by Linux TV homemaillist 24 Aug '05

24 Aug '05

Hi group. I'm using a Nova-T DVB card internally in my VDR box, but want an analog card to sample video from my VCR, digitising old tapes, and video camera and other analog sources. It doesn't need to have a tuner, ideally just audio and video (RCA) in, and will only occasionally be connected to the VDR box. Can anyone recommend a cheap card with good support? Should I be doing this with VDR? Any ideas? Thanks Simon

feature request - svdrp new features.
by jik jikman 24 Aug '05

24 Aug '05

Hi, I've a recording box with 3 skystar2 cards in it. I think it is good idea to add new commands to svdrp to make it more complete. for example: RST: to restart vdr program. PDVB: to set primary dvb device or report wich card is set now. LSCT: to list timers that currently writing data to disk. I've many difficulties to scan signal on a specific card ( I must set primary dvb by telnet plugin) , I can't find wich timers currently writing ( I must check time of all of timers) and I also must restart my box by remotely login to it , now. Thanks. jikjikman.
