[PATCH] Move new channels to separate radio and TV groups
by Dick Streefland 22 Aug '05

22 Aug '05

Here is a patch to move newly added channels to separate radio/TV groups for every satellite position. It is based on an old patch that adds new channels to different groups based on the source (satellite position). New in this patch is that two groups are used for every satellite position: a radio group and a TV group. Because when a new channel is added, it's PIDs are still zero, you cannot differentiate between radio and TV channels at that time. So the channel is first added to the end of the channel list, and moved to the appropriate group when the PIDs are updated for the first time, which is usually a few seconds later. diff -pu vdr-1.3.30/channels.c.orig vdr-1.3.30/channels.c --- vdr-1.3.30/channels.c.orig Sat Aug 6 14:22:41 2005 +++ vdr-1.3.30/channels.c Mon Aug 22 20:06:33 2005 @@ -444,6 +444,25 @@ void cChannel::SetPids(int Vpid, int Ppi } *q = 0; dsyslog("changing pids of channel %d from %d+%d:%s:%d to %d+%d:%s:%d", Number(), vpid, ppid, OldApidsBuf, tpid, Vpid, Ppid, NewApidsBuf, Tpid); + if (!vpid && !apids[0]) { + // new channel: find group seperator for the source of this channel + char sepname[64]; + snprintf(sepname, sizeof(sepname), "New %s Channels @ %s", + (Vpid ?

[ANNOUNCE] VDR developer version 1.3.30
by Klaus Schmidinger 22 Aug '05

22 Aug '05

VDR developer version 1.3.30 is now available at ftp://ftp.cadsoft.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-1.3.39.tar.bz2 A 'diff' against the previous version is available at ftp://ftp.cadsoft.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-1.3.29-30.diff The changes since version 1.3.29: - Improved responsiveness inside CAM menus. - Added handling of the 'Close MMI' tag to avoid error log messages with CAMs that actually use it. - Now waiting at startup until all DVB devices are ready. This includes having all CAMs initialized and ready to decrypt, so that no more "channel not available" happens if VDR is started with the current channel being an encrypted one, or a timer on such a channel hits right after starting VDR. - Fixed cVideoRepacker to better handle errors in data (thanks to Reinhard Nissl). - Fixed cDvbTuner to avoid lockups on NPTL systems (thanks to Marcel Wiesweg). - Added 'Service' functions to the plugin interface (thanks to Udo Richter). See PLUGINS.html, section "Custom services" for details. - Replaced the get/put_unaligned() macros from <asm/unaligned.h> with own inline functions to avoid problems on platforms that don't provide these (thanks to David Woodhouse for his help). Originally I didn't intend to release a new version this weekend, but since there are two rather important fixes, here goes anyway... Have fun! Klaus

Hi, I have a computer with 2 DVB cards, with 2 instances of VDR running. I now want to run a 3rd instance of VDR but with no DVB card, only to play recorded vdr files and the output is through a dxr3 card. Is this possible? Thanks. Monk

adding a new option to specify the address to bind to
by syrius.ml＠no-log.org 22 Aug '05

22 Aug '05

Hi there, I'm considering running 2 vdr instances on the same machine. Rather than using a set of different ports (svdrp, streamdev ports and xine+network ports) i would like to add a new option to specify the ip address to bind to. (rather than INADDR_ANY). (Ideally plugins would also be able to use that option) (streamdev already has its own config options for that) Has anybody already made that change ? (before i try to do it) in terms of vdr coding-style, what's the appropriate way to make this variable available to vdr & plugins ? global var ? (sorry if it sounds newbish) TIA --

BUG or ChangeRequest : Don't follow links when deleting recordings
by christian jacobsen 22 Aug '05

22 Aug '05

Hallo, VDR is checking regularily if there are any Deleted recordings lying around and then deleting them. This is OK and very nice :) But if you use more than one disk for recordings it allways wakes up the second disk even if there are _no_ deleted recordings on that disk! VDR is apparently not only looking for directories with the name *.del ? (find /video0 -name "*.del" -type d) Maybe it can be fixed in a way that VDR is not folllowing links when checking if a dir is empty or only searches for "*.del" directories. It would be nice if the second (, third ...) disk could be left sleeping as they then will "live longer" :) Thanks :) Greetings Christian Jacobsen

multiple sats on multiple cards
by jik jikman 22 Aug '05

22 Aug '05

Hi all, I have a vdr box with 2 skystar2 cards. The problem is, when I connect one of them to hotbird lnb and another to telestar lnb, I can switch primary dvb interface to scan each card. but when , for example my primary card is one connected to hotbird and I define a new timer on the card connected to telestar, vdr hangs and reset it self. It seems it want to record the defined timer in primary card, but the channel doesn't exist here and it hangs. if I define first a timer in a channel on my primary dvb card and make it busy, the second card will go to record correctly, but this action is a pain. Is there any way to force vdr understand which sat is connected to which card? I don't have any diseq in the path. Thanks.

VDR LiveBuffer Patch
by vdr＠helmutauer.de 21 Aug '05

21 Aug '05

Hi, A nice new patch arrived at VDR-Portal: http://www.vdr-portal.de/board/thread.php?threadid=37309&sid=&hilight=live%… With this Patch VDR can do permanent timeshift, so you can see the last scene again whenever you want :-) I know Klaus, you won't like the question, but do you see a chance of integrating it in 1.3. x ? It would be great to see this feature in a stable 1.4. release. --------- Helmut Auer

Feature request: suggestion for cPlugin
by cwieninger＠gmx.de 21 Aug '05

21 Aug '05

Hi Klaus, I was asked, if I could expose some functionality of epgsearch (searching the EPG, calling the extended timer edit menu) to other plugins. I plan to do this, like the timeline plugin does to check for timer conflicts in other plugins: bool cPluginTimeline::ProcessArgs(int argc, char *argv[]) { // Implement command line argument processing here if applicable. if (argc==1 && argv!=NULL && !strcmp(argv[0],"timeline_command_interface") && !strcmp(argv[1],"conflicts")) { // yes, this is an ugly hack! return hasConflicts(); } return true; } As you see, it uses the ProcessArgs function for this. Not very nice, but I think it's currently the only way. Would it be possible, to add a new function to cPlugin, like 'Interface', that works the same way, but is intended for this special job? It should also have a variable argument list. This would even allow to return pointers to cOsdMenus. Why reinvent the wheel, if any other plugin already does the job? ;-) BR, Christian

[ANNOUNCE] vdr-osdteletext-0.5.1
by Marcel Wiesweg 21 Aug '05

21 Aug '05

Hi, this version adds one small, but long missing feature, no longer sabotages auto-shutdown and fixes some more or less cosmetic issues. It is available from http://www.wiesweg-online.de/linux/vdr/vdr-osdteletext-0.5.1.tgz Here is the detailed changelog: - show page if it was initially not found but is received later (suggested by Luca Olivetti) - added timeout for user inactivity after which the plugin is closed. Without timeout the plugin would prevent VDR's auto-shutdown mechanism if it remains open. The value is the same as VDR's min user inactivity setup option. (suggested by Peter Bieringer) - fixed gcc4 warnings (thanks to Ville Skyttä) - updated Finnish translation (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg) - added command line parameter documentation to READMEs - added /var/cache/vdr/osdteletext to the list of recommended cache directories (suggested by Ville Skyttä) Have fun Marcel
