set system time without root priviledges
by Simon Baxter 24 Jul '05

24 Jul '05

I know this has been discussed in the past, but the threads have got confused with Time Warp and all sorts. How can I let VDR set system time off a transponder (with stime()???) without root priviledges? Thanks Simon

mad: decode hdr error, frame=0 count=1: lost synchronization
by C.Y.M 24 Jul '05

24 Jul '05

When the mp3 plugin reads in the mpg for background images, I get this error each time the image is loaded: mad: decode hdr error, frame=0 count=1: lost synchronization Is there any way to fix that? I have tried various combinations in image_convert.sh, but nothing seems to get rid of the error. Best Regards, C.

Should I truncate it to zero each time I start vdr? Woudn't it be a better idea to try to find out what's _really_ causing this? Truncating the file merely cures the symptoms... Klaus

[ANNOUNCE] UTF-8 patch 0.0.3b with Freetype2 for vdr-1.3.27
by Alexander Riedel 22 Jul '05

22 Jul '05

Hi All! Sorry, i have been late with patch. First, this is old patch updated to 1.3.27. New patch is still in developing. Probably many already faced a problem of simultaneous display of various international letters in vdr. For example it is impossible to use simultaneously both Russian and German letters. In setup.conf added some parameters for definition of fonts. For example: FontFix = courbd.ttf FontFixSize = 16 FontOsd = arialbd.ttf FontOsdSize = 16 FontSml = verdana.ttf FontSmlSize = 12 By default fonts are as FontOsd arialbd.ttf size 16, FontSml arial.ttf size 12 und FontFix courbd.ttf size 15 These files at least for the first start should lay in config directories. For each channel in channels.conf it is possible to establish the character coding, the field is added in the end every line. For example: Das Erste;ARD:198500000:I0C34D12M16B7T8G4Y0:T:27500:101:102=deu:104:0:1:8468:9985:0:ISO8859-15 By default is ISO8859-15. Possible variants are listed in: iconv --list EPG data at reception are converted in UTF-8. So on a disk all (again created) files and descriptions will be already in UTF-8. I recommend to remove a file epg.data that data were already normally filled in UTF8. You should also convert names of channels in channels.conf in UTF-8. Pleasant viewings!!! Changelog: o You can use fixed size fonts. All freetype2 supported fonts. o Small bug fixes. o version with enAIO patch is also providet. o some cosmetic changes o update to 1.3.27 -- Alexander Riedel

Wait for lock with Rotor
by Lauri Tischler 22 Jul '05

22 Jul '05

Well known problem is that when rotating the dish, it picks up bogus channels. Any news in this aspect ? One solution would be to just calculate the distance between old and new position and just wait one second per degree or whatever is the speed of your rotor.

Announce: son2srt subtitle converter
by Niko Mikkila 22 Jul '05

22 Jul '05

Hi, This is an announcement for a new DVB subtitle conversion tool. You can get it from here: http://www.cs.helsinki.fi/u/mikkila/son2srt/ son2srt is a Python script that converts SON (DVDMaestro) bitmap subtitles to the text-based SRT format by calling the free GOCR program. It can be used to process subtitle files generated with the Project X DVB demuxing tool. With a good symbol database (an almost complete one for finnish YLE DVB subtitles is included), the number of errors can easily be under 10 for a two-hour movie. However, corrupted subtitle images will cause problems. The script is currently not suitable for DVD subtitle conversion because subtitle fonts are not universal. Building a symbol database for each disc would be a tedious job without a good GUI (and frustrating even then). Luckily DVB broadcasters (or at least YLE in Finland) use only one font, which son2srt can handle non-interactively with a complete symbol database. Resulting SRT files can be used to subtitle transcoded VDR recordings. The package includes a simple script to transcode recordings to MPEG4 AVC + Ogg Vorbis + SRT in a Matroska container. Regards, Niko Mikkilä
