VDR in other rooms
by Leo Márquez 08 Jul '05

08 Jul '05

Hi I'm setting up my VDR box with softdevice using the s-video connector of my epia board. When finish I want to use VDR in other rooms of my house. The house has coaxial cable net with connectors in all rooms. Trought this network I receive the analogic tv channels and this kind of installation is used to redistribute the vhs recorder signals sat decoders, etc. With VDR how can I get this without losing quality in my principal TV (saloon)? The remote signal have solved with a wireless ir sender. If possible I would use standar tv's(antena signal) because I already have one in the kitchen but .... Do you recommend me vdr clients ? I think this solution is more powerful than tv's but more expensive. What minimal hardware is needed to make a vdr client for only play and live tv, not recording? Thanks

firmware 0x261e and noise w/ mp3 plugin
by Soeren Sonnenburg 08 Jul '05

08 Jul '05

Hi all! I tested firmware 0x261e from june 30 with the vdr mp3 plugin and get regular 'tsssk' insertions every 1-2 seconds.... firmware 0x261d is working nicely ... this is with dvb-cvs from june 21... Any ideas ? Soeren -- Sometimes, there's a moment as you're waking, when you become aware of the real world around you, but you're still dreaming.

[PATCH] make vdr more patch friendly
by Matthias Schwarzott 07 Jul '05

07 Jul '05

Hi! While including vdr into gentoo I found a lot of patches colliding at the same places in vdr. The places where this occurs mostly are: * config.h, members of cSetup * config.c, things in global space like new methods of cSetup * config.c, init of member variables of cSetup * config.c, store of member variables of cSetup * config.c, parse/read of member-variables of cSetup * i18n.c, definition of new i18ns The solution I propse is: In each of these places add a context for diff (perhaps like this): /* * Place for patches to insert functions/members to cSetup - Begin */ /* * Place for patches to insert functions/members to cSetup - End */ Attached is a patch to add these contexts at the places mentioned above. Now, if a patch wants to add some new members to cSetup these should be inserted between these two (three lines long) comments. The patch must also reproduce the context from above. Example: If patch a wants to add a variable a_active to cSetup this should result in that patch: /* * Place for patches to insert functions/members to cSetup - Begin */ + // added by patch a + int a_active; + /* + * Place for patches to insert functions/members to cSetup - End + */ + /* + * Place for patches to insert functions/members to cSetup - Begin + */ /* * Place for patches to insert functions/members to cSetup - End */ This will reproduce the context and the next patch can also be applied without problems. That has the following advantages: 1. The patch will be independent of other patches adding variables at the same place, as long as they also uses that technique. 2. The patch will nevertheless be garantueed to hit the right place, as the occurence of this context is unique. Greetings Matthias

no need to patch libdvb for analogtv
by Matthias Schwarzott 07 Jul '05

07 Jul '05

Hi Andreas! I found out that there is no need to patch libdvb to be able to use analogtv. The function get_pes with parameter pes_in_ts can be replaced by the function kpes_to_ts resulting in exactly the same code be executed. The patch also applies to current cvs. Greetings Matthias

European Patent Office Grants Intel Patent On Digital Video Recording
by Harald Milz 06 Jul '05

06 Jul '05

Huh - http://wiki.ffii.org/SwpatVcrEn Does that mean Intel now owns all digital video recording and storing techniques, as well as EPG??? What does that tell us about the clues of the European Patent Office? -- There is no TRUTH. There is no REALITY. There is no CONSISTENCY. There are no ABSOLUTE STATEMENTS I'm very probably wrong.

Choose the right audio from xine ?
by Gregoire Favre 06 Jul '05

06 Jul '05

Hello, in VDR there is a really nice feature : one can choose left or right audio from a stereo channel to hear from (the Swiss channels do there original language that way), but it don't seems to work from xine. Is it just me, in that case, could someone explain me how to choose the right audio ? Thank, -- Gr\'egoire Favre

1.3.27 with NPTL: always crashes at shutdown
by Ville Skyttä 06 Jul '05

06 Jul '05

1.3.27 doesn't seem quite NPTL ready, it always crashes at shutdown here on Fedora Core 4 (IIRC also on FC3 and 1.3.2x the last time I tried). No such problems when setting LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.1. The backtrace I'm able to obtain looks pretty much useless, but always practically the same, here goes anyway: #0 0x00ddd223 in _Unwind_DeleteException () from /lib/libgcc_s.so.1 #1 0x00dddf82 in _Unwind_Backtrace () from /lib/libgcc_s.so.1 #2 0x00dde015 in _Unwind_ForcedUnwind () from /lib/libgcc_s.so.1 #3 0x00b65c5e in _Unwind_ForcedUnwind () from /lib/libpthread.so.0 #4 0x00b63cc7 in __pthread_unwind () from /lib/libpthread.so.0 #5 0x00b5e3a8 in sigcancel_handler () from /lib/libpthread.so.0 #6 0x00b6f440 in __kernel_sigreturn () #7 0x00b6f402 in __kernel_vsyscall () #8 0x008e6ee6 in __nanosleep_nocancel () from /lib/libc.so.6 #9 0x0091dce7 in usleep () from /lib/libc.so.6 #10 0x00159b82 in ?? () #11 0x00002710 in ?? () #12 0xffffffff in ?? () #13 0x00000000 in ?? () (gdb) (Yes, I have the debug symbols for VDR available and installed.) This is a pretty much patched VDR with lots of plugins, neither of which I can really disable. Perhaps someone with a more vanilla setup can reproduce?

This is not an issue with my Skystar2. Maybe it is a FF thing? Tony

BBC 3, 4 Cbeebies, CBBC, etc. on DVB-T
by Iwan Davies 06 Jul '05

06 Jul '05

Does anyone else have problems with the time-sharing (for want of a better word) channels on UK DVB-T, such as BBC Three, Four, CBeebies and CBBC? Irrespective of what I set the channels.conf update options to (i.e. names only, names and pids, nothing, etc.), I find that I have to restart VDR to get output on any of these channels if the VDR was active before they started broadcasting. I mean, if 7pm comes and I change channel to BBC Three, I won't get a picture or audio through my FF DVB-S card unless I leave the channel set to BBC Three and choose the "Setup|Restart" option from the VDR main menu. Femon shows that there is nothing wrong with the signal, and a video stream and audio stream are detected. Furthermore, I can view a stream of the channel through the Streamdev-server plugin on the VDR machine and any client I care to try on other PCs in the house. I get the same effect on Tele-G, but unless there's anyone else in the Grampian region on this list, I doubt this can be verified or tested. VDR 1.3.19. DVB-T Nova-T (TDA10045), DVB-S 1.3 Cheers Iwan

"Prior use" is for closed systems where no public information is not available. But if VDR was public with concepts and source before 2001-01-18 then Intel could not patent the things what were already published by VDR community. In other words, the patent office did a bad job when making search of things prohibiting the patent (normally just browsing other patents of the same area, not VDR/DVB-mailing list snoop). And above applies to tivo/replay-tv/m$ and other companies. You cannot patent already publicly known stuff. And this is why announcing and requesting features on the mailing list is important.. :-) Best regards, Jori
