[PATCH] vdr-1.3.22 bugfix: delete recording above directory
by Steffen Beyer 15 Mar '05

15 Mar '05

Hello, following problem: when deleting a recording which is followed by a directory in the list of recordings, the directory gets the focus but the help at the bottom of the screen stays unchanged and still shows four options, instead of only "open". It is necessary to update the help row between delete and OSD update, patch attached.

bitstreamout 0.70 and vdr 1.3.22
by Roland Praml 15 Mar '05

15 Mar '05

Hi, i noticed that the bitstreamout-plugin doesn't work anymore with newer recordings. Old recordings are played fine (in pre 1.3.19 compatibly mode). If I replay a recording made with 1.3.22 (eg spiderman :-( ) my receiver switches to DD5.1 but nothing to hear. The recording should be OK because mplayer can decode the AC3 stream. Live-ac3 and replaying of older recordings does work, too. Versions: vdr 1.3.22 (tested with and without the cDolbyRepacker patch) bitstreamout 0.70 receiver: Sony STR DB930QS soundcard: cmi8738 onboard best regards, Roland

MP3 plugin 0.9.11: Bugs and RFCs
by Pasi Juppo 15 Mar '05

15 Mar '05

Bug 1: The very first attempt to play movie (avi) after start up causes MP3/MPlayer plugin to stop the playing immediately. Second attempt is succesful, same goes for following attempts whether it is same movie or different. This is just a minor glitch though. Bug 2(?): Resuming does not work for files over NFS (should be Read/Write). Haven't tried with local files yet. RFC1: Would it be possible to join MP3 and MPlayer to single menu entry? RFC2: If MPlayer fails to play a file then it would be nice to see the reason why it failed. Logs don't show anything. Maybe dedicated log (/var/log/vdr/*) would be good solution for this and for other plugins as well as for VDR itself. RFC3: Menu or key/button to change subtitle in case there are multiple subtitles in .sub file. RFC4: Continue or similar feature for MP3 playing. If I select single song and play it, MP3 player either stops or loops it. It would be nice to go to directory, select a song to play and when it ends MP3 player would automatically continue to next song. Br, Pasi

rotor
by Jacek Popławski 15 Mar '05

15 Mar '05

Is it possible to use SG2100 rotor without vdr-rotor plugin? Is there any other plugin or standalone application? How can I send raw DiSEQ commands in Linux? Is it possible to see where rotor is currently positioned in vdr-rotor? I tried to use this plugin, but I failed. Signal is always close to 50% (no matter where is receiver), I don't know how to change location of satelites in configuration file (HotBird is not 13E, because rotor is not directed into True South :), I tried to experiment but it is very hard when rotor is outside of room :) I had no problems in Windows, but I need to use it in Linux! I want to start from raw DiSEQ commands... could you point me to any app or doc? -- Free Software - find interesting programs and change them NetHack - meet interesting creatures, kill them and eat their bodies Usenet - meet interesting people from all over the world and flame them Decopter - unrealistic helicopter simulator, get it from http://decopter.sf.net

[ANNOUNCE] vdr-xine-0.7.2 plugin
by Reinhard Nissl 15 Mar '05

15 Mar '05

Hi, I'm pleased to announce maintenance release 0.7.2: http://home.vr-web.de/~rnissl/vdr-xine-0.7.2.tgz 2005-02-27: Version 0.7.2 - Fixed cXineDevice::StillPicture() to support three times larger still image data than before. This was necessary to properly support mp3 plugin's cover image feature (thanks to burki at vdr-portal for reporting this issue). - Removed cXineStatus as vdr-xine now uses a different method of detecting LiveTV. This one works better in combination with mp3 plugin (thanks to Klaus Schmidinger for suggesting the new solution). - Updated xine-lib patch for current CVS (thanks to Grégoire Favre for reporting this issue). For this release I suggest the following xine sources: http://home.vr-web.de/~rnissl/xine-lib-cvs-20050227131000.tar.bz2 http://home.vr-web.de/~rnissl/xine-ui-cvs-20050227131000.tar.bz2 Enjoy.

RE: [vdr] vdr 1.3.22 and osdteletext 0.4.2 in even a couple of days

Make following script file containing lines and insert it into cron. find /vtx/ -name *.vtx -mmin +60 | xargs rm -f This deletes pages which are over 60 minutes old. And I run it hourly so I have maximum of 2h old pages in my system. Also I recommend that use ramdisk for teletext (mount as /vtx). With cleanup like this a couple of megabytes is needed. One channel in cache is about 1MB, thousand pages with little less than 1kB/page (Finnish teletext channels). Also if using ext2fs filesystem on ramdisk, change block size for 1kB. This almost eliminates waste space on ramdisk (1 page takes 1kB of space instead of default 4kB). Then look at channels.conf, and make symbolic links for channels using same teletext pid. With this you only have 1 copy of Yle's text-tv instead of 3 copies. So you use 1MB instead of 3MB. So in boot phase make something like this: mount /vtx mkdir 1 ln -s 1 2 ln -s 1 (yle24 channel number) With changes like this your system runs nice, teletext is fast because of ramdisk, and harddrive spindown works etc. Best regards, Jori

Problems with AV sync and switching channels with anything later than 1.3.12 on FC3
by anthony hornby 15 Mar '05

15 Mar '05

Hi, I am running Fedora Core 3. I have made lots of changes to try and make it play nice. LANG set to en_AU in /etc/sysconfig/i18n LANG="en_AU" SUPPORTED="en_AU.UTF-8:en_AU:en" set no NTPL environment variable in /etc/profile export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.1 changed prelink options in /etc/sysconfig PRELINK_OPTS="-m --no-exec-shield" and forced a relink. disabled selinux in /etc/sysconfig/selinux SELINUX=disabled using patched versions of dxr3 and dxr3plugin from cachalot.mine.nu With 1.3.12 it works pretty well except for an annoying jerky playback issue with mplayer that has snuck in in a recent version of the plugin. MPlayer playback outside of VDR is fine. However, whenever I switch to a version of VDR newer than 1.3.12 the video/audio sync gradually drifts apart and switching between channels stops working properly - I have to select a channel, press "switch" and then select it again and press "switch" again for it to actually change the channel. All the usual dxr3 problems still there in either versions - pink display after mplayer exits, display occasionally inverting red/blue. I also have problems with AC3 sources - can't get them to play back. The audio detection on my Denon 1602 switches to "analog" input when I try and play AC3 sources and I get no sound. Femon says the signal strength etc is fine. Anyone experienced anything similar? Any tips?

vdr 1.3.22 and osdteletext 0.4.2 in even a couple of days
by Palko Jukka 15 Mar '05

15 Mar '05

I noticed an interesting thing with osdteletext and vdr which would be very nice to be fixed. Keeping the system running for some time ends up having teletext pages that have the newest pages, but also old page informations. This happens only to pages that have more than 1 page of information for them. Or rather used to have more pagedata for them than they currently have. Could there be a setting that flushes the pagecache between certain intervals? Or is there one already and I haven't just found it? -Jukka -- Jukka Palko jpalko(a)vapaa.fi Postmaster jpalko(a)ipi.fi Vapaa Internet Ry +358-(0)50-4876931 "Only if you want to, will you find a way..." -- Enya
