As far as I can tell VDR considers all cards equal and selects the first one, which is the full card. What I didn't mention earlier was that the full-card is not a primary device (as I'm using xine-plugin). I could change the for-loop to check devices from last to first and it would fix this for me, but I guess it might be a good idea to make VDR select budget card over full card even when full-card is not a primary device.

EPG question
by Harald Milz 13 Mar '05

13 Mar '05

Hi, my son last night came up with an interesting question. Why can't I read EPG descriptions of broadcasts on a different channel than I'm currently watching? E.g. I was watching the news on ZDF and he wanted to check what was up on Galileo on Pro7 without switching channels. I mean, the EPG data is there, there's no technical need to switch channels when all I want to do is see other channels' EPG descriptions... has anybody thought about this? -- It is easier to be a "humanitarian" than to render your own country its proper due; it is easier to be a "patriot" than to make your community a better place to live in; it is easier to be a "civic leader" than to treat your own family with loving understanding; for the smaller the focus of attention, the harder the task. -- Sydney J. Harris

No sound from Dxr3 (Hollywood+) with dxr3 plugin.
by plastgris 12 Mar '05

12 Mar '05

That did the trick! Thank you very much. It seemed like I had some leftovers from another ffmpeg installation in a place where the makefile pointed to, exactly as you said. Removed, changed path in makefile, compiled, and viola: sound is coming out of the speakers! Thanks again /Bob

xine OSD wrong when scaling
by Olaf Titz 12 Mar '05

12 Mar '05

I'm using VDR 1.3.22 with the xine plugin 0.7.2 and xine compiled from today's CVS. The display is to a 1024x768 screen and xine is started with -pf to scale the image up as needed. (Currently using -V xshm because I can't get vidix to work[*] but that shouldn't matter at all.) Using any of the various OSD blending modes with the xine plugin doesn't work. The OSD gets severely distorted, looks like the beginnings of lines get shifted around. Perhaps something confuses the different resolutions? (X11 overlay works but gives a too tiny window...) Olaf [*] Does anyone know how to tell X11 _and_ vidix on a G550 dualhead to leave the other CRTC alone? What I want is a regular X11 display on the first screen and fullscreen video on the second. I've tried various combinations of framebuffer and X11 based drivers, all of them seem to mess around with the other screen...

[PATCH] vdr-1.3.22: do not create zero-sized vdr.nnn files
by Wolfgang Fritz 12 Mar '05

12 Mar '05

The following patch avoids the creation of zero sized vdr.nnn files if a recording is disturbed (loss of signal etc.). Without this patch it is possible to fill up a recording directory with 0-sized files up to the maximum vdr.255 quite fast. Testers and feedback welcome. Wolfgang

No sound from Dxr3 (Hollywood+) with dxr3 plugin.

Hello, I don't get any sound out from my H+ card when using VDR and dxr3 plugin. I have tested with VDR 1.3.12 + dxr3-0.2.3-pre2 plugin (unpatched) and VDR 1.3.18 + dxr3-0-2.3-pre3 plugin (patched). Using gentoo linux 2.6.10-r6 with an Avermedia 771 DVT-T card. Playing back with Mplayer works fine with analog/pcm/AC3. The dxr3plugin.log looks like this: ============================================================== cpu vandor: GenuineIntel cpu extensions: mmx: true mmx-ext: false sse: true sse2: false 3dnow: false Benchmarking memcpy() methods (smaller is better): glibc memcpy(): 614049669 linux_kernel_memcpy(): 608230782 MMX optimized memcpy(): 604538721 Best one: MMX optimized memcpy() cDxr3Interface::UploadMicroCode: uploading......done cDxr3Interface::ConfigureDevice: Videomode = PAL cDxr3AudioOutThread::Action Thread started cDxr3AudioOutThread::Action(): Error can't set priority cDxr3VideoOutThread::Action Thread started change volume to 85 cDxr3Device::SetPlayMode audio/video from player Setting audio mode...digital pcm (54, 344) - (677, 530)OSD Datasize: 5082 cDxr3AudioDecoder::Decode Found different audio header -> init cDxr3AduioDecoder::Decode Old header 0xff new header 0x74c4fcff cDxr3AudioDecoder::Decode Sample rate = 0 cDxr3AudioDecoder::Decode Sample rate = 5 cDxr3AudioDecoder::Decode unexpected parameter change cDxr3AudioDecoder::Decode Sample rate = 0 cDxr3AudioDecoder::Decode Sample rate = 2 cDxr3AudioDecoder::Decode unexpected parameter change cDxr3AudioDecoder::Decode Sample rate = 0 cDxr3AudioDecoder::Decode Sample rate = 4 ... .. =============================================== With the "unexpected parameter change" repeating for pages down.

Use of the 'osd' device.
by jmmercy 12 Mar '05

12 Mar '05

Hi. I have seen a lot of talk in the list about the use of OSD, implementation of menus and so on. I have not found though, any doc about how osd is accessed at the lowest level ( ... open(/dev/adapter0/osd0)... ). I found no API in v4l2 for that either. I have a Hauppauge nexus-s card and would like to play with the osd display. Can anyone tell me where I can find any info about the osd device and how to access it ? Thanks.

[vdr 1.3.22] live recording... (not a big issue)
by syrius.ml＠no-log.org 12 Mar '05

12 Mar '05

Hi Klaus, When a "live" record has been initiated from the main menu (using the red button), a "Stop reccording PROGRAM" entry appears in the main menu. If I go to the Timers or the Recording submenu and then remove the corresponding timer or record (yep i have to confirm two times), when i go back to the menu the "stop recording program" is still there. I mean by "when i go back" : I press the BACK button to come back from the timer or recording submenu to the main menu. If leave the main menu, then make it appear again the "stop recording program" is gone. The thing happens if I'm also recording and replaying: if I delete the corresponding entry to the currently live recorded and replayed program, the program is still replayed and the "stop replaying program" and the "stop recording program" are still there. That's not a big deal at all. It's just i wanted to report it :) Please don't blame me if it's feature (and not a bug) :p (i know the deleting might be delayed) cheers --

bitstreamout-0.70 and vdr-1.3.21
by Per Mellander 11 Mar '05

11 Mar '05

I'm running vdr 1.3.21 and bitstreamout-0.70 I have tried with my MoBo's integrated soundcard ( via82xx ) and with a C- Media ( cmipci ) + latest stable alsa. Same problems with both setups. I'm getting a A/V sync delay thats very hard to get correct by using the 'delay/livedelay' parameters. Does the delay correction actually work? I'm only asking because I know there has been major work in the AC3/DD functionality in vdr lately. I have also problem running recorded material and bitstreamout. Actually vdr crashes without any warnings when I try to start a recording. Maybe it has to do with that I'm using ttextsubs-plugin? If I switch to a channel with 'live- DD' and use the DD-stream in the Audio setup and then start playback of the same recording, the recording starts to play - without sound. i.e current channel PCM (1) -> vdr crash current channel DD (33) -> recorded material play without sound The audio meny is very intermittent when using bitstreamout. By this I mean that the OSD dpid selection does not show up all the time. Has this been corrected in 1.3.22 As before my test setup is connected to a Sony STR-DB830 which I know is marked as failure in the DD compability list. But with bitstreamout my reciever this far actually works with DD2.0 material.
