Positioner and multi-tuner setup?
by Antti Hartikainen 27 Dec '12

27 Dec '12

Hi. I would want to somehow configure VDR to use positioner (H-H motor) and dual tuner setup, to receive two transponders from same source at one time. My current hardware setup is: TechnoTrend S2-6400 dual tuner DVB-S2 with H/W decoder, H-H motor and a quad LNB. I'm using diseqc commands in diseqc.conf to control the motor, as GOTOXX patch and rotorng plugin are both too buggy to be used. Rotorng I used to store the positions. Currently I only have one tuner in use, and it is connected to the motor. I was wondering if it would be somehow possible to get second tuner in use also. It would be connected directly to LNB, and that tuner would be limited to the same satellite source as the other tuner is tuned to, and have independent frequency/polarization. Thanks. PS. What is the current recomended way for using positioner with VDR? Preferred would be a USALS capable setup.

Debugging facility in VDR Makefile(s)?
by Eike 26 Dec '12

26 Dec '12

Hello! When I had a deeper look into VDR, I wondered why there seems to be no debugging facility. I added the following to VDR's Makefile: debug: CFLAGS += -DDEBUG -ggdb3 -O0 debug: CXXFLAGS += -DDEBUG -ggdb3 -O0 debug: all ... so "make debug" creates an executable where no variables are optimized out and and no statements are reordered. I guess this could be useful for other people as well. Or did I miss something and this is already included somewhere? Ciao, Eike PS: Sorry, I misdirected this mail to vdr-owner(a)linuxtv.org first.

Reserve device for Live-Tv
by Ingo Prochaska 21 Dec '12

21 Dec '12

Hello, I would like to have one dvb-device dedicated for live tv. Or in other words: I want vdr to record on all-dvb-devices - 1, so that one device is still available for viewing via the output-front-end or streamdev. Perhaps its possible to configure vdr to behave like this - but I have no clue how to accomblish this... Regards, Ingo

Re: [vdr] EPG language info from VDR
by Martin 21 Dec '12

21 Dec '12

After some research I started sniffing the stream with dvbsnoop and I found the language setting for DMAX, it is DEU. Now I've got to sniff some more to make my list complete. According to the iso is should be 'ger' I think but I found it, so it will be soon in my client. Greetz

Re: [vdr] Reserve device for Live-Tv
by Ingo Prochaska 19 Dec '12

19 Dec '12

Hello, perhaps I have forgotten to point out, that I'm talking about a setup without FF-Card but with xine-plugin or softhddevice. So I can't point the primaryDevice (the one that displays the menu) to a dvb-device, can't I? Regarding MAX- and LIVEPRIORITY: as far as I understand the code (and thats not too far...), these constants are taken in account when actually claiming devices for recording or showing live-TV. So this would not solve my problem, according searchtimers and the resulting recording schedule. Regards, Ingo Gesendet von meinem ASUS Pad

Give live TV more priority than getting EPG
by cedric.dewijs＠telfort.nl 19 Dec '12

19 Dec '12

Hi All, I have 3 DVB-T receivers. Sometimes when I record 2 TV shows (from 2 different transports) I cannot watch live a TV show from a third transport. When I restart vdr, I am able to record on 2 transports, and watch live TV from the 3rd transport. I suspect vdr was using the 3rd receiver to get EPG data. Is there a way to configure vdr so it stops collecting EPG when all receivers are needed for recording / watching TV? Best regards, Cedric

Special Character problems
by Brian-Imap 17 Dec '12

17 Dec '12

Hi, I did an apt-get update at the weekend on my Ubuntu with VDR 1.7.33 system. Now the special characters in the recording menu in front of the channel number are incorrect. Other text and epg data seems to be OK. I am using UTF-8 localhost vdr: [3358] codeset is 'UTF-8' - known and was also using UTF before the update. I guess this field should be blank or an arrow ">", currently I have small boxes, "+" and "|" characters. Anyone happen to know this problem? Cheers Brian
