by Borghart 07 Apr '05

07 Apr '05

Hi, I want to use vdr with the xine plugin on my terratec cinergy t^2. When i start vdr and xine, i can see vdr's osd in the xine-window - but there always is the 'no signal' message in the background. the logfile looks like: vdr[2994]: VDR version 1.2.6 started vdr[2994]: loading plugin: ./PLUGINS/lib/libvdr-xine.so.1.2.6 vdr[2994]: loading /video/setup.conf vdr[2994]: loading /video/sources.conf vdr[2994]: loading /video/channels.conf vdr[2994]: loading /video/remote.conf vdr[2994]: found 1 video device vdr[2994]: initializing plugin: xine (0.7.2): Software based playback using xine vdr[2994]: setting primary device to 2 vdr[2994]: SVDRP listening on port 2001 vdr[2994]: starting plugin: xine vdr[2994]: switching to channel 6 what do i have to do to watch a tv-channel? regards, borghart

RE: [vdr] vdr-xine: what's wrong with this piece of code-- threadingissue?

Looking forward to both 0.8.0 and 0.7.3 ... In my experience the most problems I've had are starting/ending recording, and all rewinds. At these points may happen that xine disconnects. Not very often but sometimes. When xine disconnects VDR will "play" the recording really fast and it's minutes past the place when xine reconnects. I've had no problems with cutting marks... Teemu

[Announce] LNB-sharing patch for VDR 1.3.23
by Matthias Lötzke 07 Apr '05

07 Apr '05

Hello! A new release of the configurable LNB-sharing patch for VDR 1.3 is available at: http://xn--ltzke-jua.de/dvb/VDR_LNB_sharing_patch/configurableLNBshare-VDR_… Changes: - fixed a bug where the patch delayed the EPG-scan even if a card would have been available for scanning (Thanks to Torsten Lang and Tobias Grimm for discovering the bug) The DiSEqC support still needs more testing - I do not have DiSEqC hardware myself. Please provide feedback. For general information about the LNB-sharing patch have a look at: http://xn--ltzke-jua.de/dvb/VDR_LNB_sharing_patch/Description.txt http://www.vdr-wiki.de/wiki/index.php/LNB-Sharing-Patch (german) Matthias.

VDR::Plugin::Channelscan - request for improvement
by Andrey Vlassov 07 Apr '05

07 Apr '05

Hi, I am in North America and on start of ChannelScan plugin I have to press 'right button ->" many times before I get to required satellite. There is no repeat function for "right ->" and "<- left" buttons. It could be nice if this function could be added. Other improvement could be support for "Up" and "Down" buttons to jump over 10 satellites. I also found that status line "Freq/Polarization/.." sometimes get messed up. Please check what can cause this problem. Thanks, Andy

Adding ATAPI support for dvdrecord to vdrconvert
by C.Y.M 06 Apr '05

06 Apr '05

When I look at the code in burn.sh (from cvs of vdrconvert), I have noticed that a parameter is missing to support ATAPI writers with dvdrecord. The attached patch seems to work. Also, a change to vdrconvert.env is required if this patch is applied. For example: #MEDIAWRITER="/dev/hdc:0,0,0" MEDIAWRITER="/dev/hdc:ATAPI:0,0,0" Regards, C.Y.M. --- vdrconvert/bin/burn.sh.orig 2004-12-29 04:35:38.000000000 -0800 +++ vdrconvert/bin/burn.sh 2005-02-12 06:16:11.000000000 -0800 @@ -49,7 +49,8 @@ # Devices [ -z "$MEDIAWRITER" ] && MEDIAWRITER="/dev/scd0:0,0,0" WRITER=`echo $MEDIAWRITER|cut -f 1 -d ':'` -WRITER_ADR=`echo $MEDIAWRITER|cut -f 2 -d ':'` +WRITER_DEV=`echo $MEDIAWRITER|cut -f 2 -d ':'` +WRITER_ADR=`echo $MEDIAWRITER|cut -f 3 -d ':'` # Options [ -z "$DVDPLUS_RECORD_OPTS" ] && DVDPLUS_RECORD_OPTS="-Z" [ -z "$DVDMIN_RECORD_OPTS" ] && DVDMIN_RECORD_OPTS="-dao driveropts=burnfree" @@ -174,7 +175,7 @@ $SVDRPSEND MESG $MEDIA_MSG_START_WRITE_IMAGE >> /dev/null 2>&1 case $DVDTYPE in "DVD-RW"|"DVD-R") - $DVDMIN_RECORDCMD $DVDMIN_RECORD_OPTS dev=$WRITER_ADR $DATA + $DVDMIN_RECORDCMD $DVDMIN_RECORD_OPTS dev=$WRITER_DEV:$WRITER_ADR $DATA ;; *) $DVD_RECORDCMD $DVDPLUS_RECORD_OPTS "$WRITER=$DATA"

problem with xine-plugin
by Borghart 06 Apr '05

06 Apr '05

hi, i want to use vdr on a terratec cinergy t^2. therefore i tried to set up a xine plugin for vdr as described here: http://www.vdr-wiki.de/wiki/index.php/Xine-plugin compilation went without any problems so far, but stuff isn't working anyhow: when i start vdr /var/log/messages says: Apr 6 18:31:23 fozzy vdr[4319]: VDR version 1.2.6 started Apr 6 18:31:23 fozzy vdr[4319]: loading /video/setup.conf Apr 6 18:31:23 fozzy vdr[4319]: loading /video/sources.conf Apr 6 18:31:23 fozzy vdr[4319]: loading /video/channels.conf Apr 6 18:31:23 fozzy vdr[4319]: loading /video/remote.conf Apr 6 18:31:23 fozzy vdr[4319]: found 1 video device Apr 6 18:31:23 fozzy vdr[4319]: setting primary device to 1 Apr 6 18:31:23 fozzy vdr[4319]: device 1 has no MPEG decoder Apr 6 18:31:23 fozzy vdr[4319]: SVDRP listening on port 2001 Apr 6 18:31:23 fozzy vdr[4319]: switching to channel 1 which looks o.k. to me + no errors/warnings in /var/log/syslog. when i start xine --verbose "vdr:/tmp/vdr-xine/stream#demux:mpeg_pes" i get the following output: gui_xine_open_and_play(): mrl: 'vdr:/tmp/vdr-xine/stream#demux:mpeg_pes', sub 'NONE', start_pos 0, start_time 0, av_offset 0, spu_offset 0. xine: found input plugin : VDR display device plugin vdr: failed to open '/tmp/vdr-xine/stream' (No such file or directory) xine: input plugin cannot open MRL [vdr:/tmp/vdr-xine/stream#demux:mpeg_pes] xine: found input plugin : VDR display device plugin vdr: failed to open '/tmp/vdr-xine/stream#demux:mpeg_pes' (No such file or directory) xine: input plugin cannot open MRL [vdr:/tmp/vdr-xine/stream#demux:mpeg_pes] xine: cannot find input plugin for MRL [vdr:/tmp/vdr-xine/stream#demux:mpeg_pes] '/tmp/vdr-xine/stream' (No such file or directory) certainly is true, so for me it looks like vdr doesn't touch anything in /tmp - but why? any hints? regards, borghart

Vahid Modiri a écrit : > I am using 2 DVB cards simultaneously on a linux > machine.Does SVDRPSEND.pl have any > attribute to control both of cards remotely or I must > move the VDR control to each card manully before use > it? You should direct this kind of question to the VDR mailing-list. This one is about a specific VDR plugin. Specifically : svdrsend.pl will send commands to VDR, not to a particular card. > Yours, > Vahid -- NH

Latest version of SourceCaps patch?
by Carsten Koch 06 Apr '05

06 Apr '05

Hi, I have bought a second budget card for my VDR system and I would like to set up the system as follows: * Primary card (full-featured Technotrend 1.3) connected to dish pointed at Astra 19.2. * Second card (budget Technotrend) connected to dish pointed at Astra 19.2. * Third card (budget Technotrend) connected to dish pointed at Hotbird 13.0. Is it still true that this configuration is not well supported by an unpatched vdr? So do I need the SourceCaps patch? If yes, where can I find the latest version? Thanks, Carsten.
