VDR-1.3.28: updated cVideoRepacker
by Reinhard Nissl 21 Aug '05

21 Aug '05

Hi, after a lot of testing with "generated" bad signal quality I've finally fixed cVideoRepacker. Please apply the attached patch which should also fit for VDR-1.3.29. Bye. -- Dipl.-Inform. (FH) Reinhard Nissl mailto:rnissl@gmx.de

Watchdog kicks in, 1.3.28, 1.3.29
by Malte Schröder 21 Aug '05

21 Aug '05

Hi, when I set the epg-scan timeout to something greater than 0, VDR crashes reproducible. Attached is a piece of the log when it happened. I was watching a recording. I tried a clean VDr install without patches, only remote plugin. I use kernel 2.6.13-rc6 (same problem with 2.6.12.x), primary device is a TT Rev.1.5 FF DVB-S, secondary is an AirStar2 DVB-T. Any clue what could cause this?

RE: [vdr] Problem: Conax not available after VDR startup

Klaus Schmidinger wrote: > I really don't see why tuning to a particular channel should speed up > the initial setup of the CAM communication. I only know that EPG scan did help, and did help every time... But, in the meantime I've built a new vdr/file -server, and guess what... yep, the delay is gone. I have no idea what was the real fix as I've changed almost everything (except dvb-hardware): P2-350 -> Celeron-2.5G vdr-1.3.23 -> vdr-1.3.29 linux-2.4 -> linux-2.6 dvb-20041226 -> dvb in kernel etc... But I guess there are still some people who have the same problem. Why not add an option to VDR to allow EPG scan to start right away? Teemu

[Patch] dvd-plugin: Consider VideoDisplayFormat setting when playing DVDs
by Joachim Wilke 20 Aug '05

20 Aug '05

Hi there, the attached patch file enables the dvd plugin to scale the DVD video according to VDRs "VideoDisplayFormat" setting in Setup|DVB. The Diff is against the actual dvd-cvs, but 0.3.6-b03 should also work (VDR >= 1.3.25). Maybe, someone finds this useful, too. Regards, Joachim.

Hmm, zeroing both 'lastScan' and 'lastActivity' on cEITScanner constructor dropped the Conax detection time to 9-10 seconds. Apparently tuning into the encrypted frequency does speed up the detection process... I tried also to tune the card into the channel (before VDR main loop) using GetDevice() / SwitchChannel() but that didn't help... I don't know if there are issues if EPG scan is triggered right from the VDR start. If not, could this change be included into the next VDR version? Teemu

mp3 plugin and file sources
by Peter Juszack 20 Aug '05

20 Aug '05

Hi list, I have a problem with the mp3 plugin. I do not use playlists and therefor switched the default view to directory browsing. Since an update (I don't know when) there is no way to choose a file source from mp3sources.conf. When changing default view to playlists in the plugin's setup everything works fine and I can select file sources via the green button. Is this a bug or am I too stupid.

how to reccmds.conf in background
by Simon Baxter 19 Aug '05

19 Aug '05

Hi. I've written a script which encodes vdr files into an avi file, and is called from the reccmds.conf menu. Problem is, it ties up the system until the script has completed, which can be a very long time. I gather the command executed must complete and output from the command gets sent to the OSD. I was hoping to get reccmds to call the script in the background and then use svdrp to send status messages to the OSD. The cutinplace script manages this, but my C programming isn't up to the task! How can I get a command called in reccmds to execute in the background??

Mplayer mpegpes not working
by Simon Baxter 19 Aug '05

19 Aug '05

Hi. I'm trying to get the mplayer plugin working. Am I correct - mplayer uses the mpegpes vo option to feed the played stream into a PES stream, which VDR then plays?? I've vompiled mplayer to support dvb output : mplayer -vo help | grep mpegpes mpegpes Mpeg-PES to DVB card Problem is when I execute 'mplayer -vo mpegpes "file"' I get : Opening /dev/dvb/adapter0/video0+audio0 DVB VIDEO DEVICE: : No such file or directory Error opening/initializing the selected video_out (-vo) device. ---and VDR crashes with no logs of why udev isn't creating video0+audio0 : ls /dev/dvb/adapter0/ -la total 0 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 140 Aug 19 11:11 . drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 60 Aug 19 10:49 .. crw-rw---- 1 root video 212, 4 Aug 19 10:49 demux0 crw-rw---- 1 root video 212, 5 Aug 19 10:49 dvr0 crw-rw---- 1 root video 212, 3 Aug 19 10:49 frontend0 crw-rw---- 1 root video 212, 7 Aug 19 10:49 net0 So I added video0+audio0 ls /dev/dvb/adapter0/ -la total 0 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 140 Aug 19 11:11 . drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 60 Aug 19 10:49 .. crw-rw---- 1 root video 212, 4 Aug 19 10:49 demux0 crw-rw---- 1 root video 212, 5 Aug 19 10:49 dvr0 crw-rw---- 1 root video 212, 3 Aug 19 10:49 frontend0 crw-rw---- 1 root video 212, 7 Aug 19 10:49 net0 crw-rw---- 1 root video 212, 1 Aug 19 11:11 video0+audio0 but still get : Opening /dev/dvb/adapter0/video0+audio0 DVB VIDEO DEVICE: : No such file or directory Error opening/initializing the selected video_out (-vo) device. ---and VDR still crashes with no logs of why I also tried adding 'video0' and 'audio0' on their own but get the same results. Any ideas?
