Sound and picture problems with ITV3
by brian 27 Mar '12

27 Mar '12

Hi, Running VDR 1.6 on a FF and Budget cards I have problems with recordings made from the channel ITV3. The video itself starts OK, but gets very jerky after a while. Restarting playback makes it better for a while. Sound gets more out of sync with the picture, its also better after restarting playback. I tried replaying on VDR 1.7 and the problem was the same. I tried demuxing the recording with ProjectX, this was the output: <<< session infos >>> Monday, March 26, 2012 4:32:41 PM CEST ProjectX 0.90.4.00 (30.03.2006) -> working with collection 0 -> save normal log file -> write all video data -> write all other data -> patch c.d.flagged infos of pictures -> add sequence end code -> set resolution in SDE -> PVA: strictly specs. for audio streams -> VOB: determine diff.

Channel 4 HD on Freesat

I can't get Channel 4 HD on Freesat with VDR 1.7.23-1. It just stays silent with the picture frozen on the previous channel, or "No signal". Any ideas?

cheap dvb-s usb2.0 card
by Arturo Martinez 22 Mar '12

22 Mar '12

Hi, Can somebody point out at a resonably priced DVB-S (or DVB-S2) USB2.0 card to use with VDR? I found this one: http://www.buydvb.net/tbs5922-usb-dvbs2-tv-box_p41.html but it seems a bit expensive...

How to discover Freeview HD tuning details?
by Tony Houghton 21 Mar '12

21 Mar '12

My local transmitter (uk-Rowridge) completed switchover today and the HD channels are available. They're all on one channel which isn't fully listed in the NIT in the descriptors I'm aware of for this purpose. w_scan finds this channel at 474000000 with a bandwidth of 8MHz, but all the other parameters are 'AUTO'. The transport_id is 16515. There are no DVB-T delivery descriptors for it in the NIT on the standard PID. There are T2 delivery system descriptors for it, but they're all of the short form ie they only contain the plp_id and T2_system_id. Is there another type of descriptor I need to look out for, or is Freeview HD using non-standard PIDs like Freesat?

Re: [vdr] Make.config.template broken in 1.7.24
by Christian Ruppert 19 Mar '12

Ok, that was done by mistake :( Attached is a patch against 1.7.26 which reverts those "?=" back to "=" as in pre 1.7.24 versions. Klaus: Please apply that patch for the next release :) -- Regards, Christian Ruppert

[ANNOUNCE] New VDR plugin: epgfixer
by Matti Lehtimäki 19 Mar '12

19 Mar '12

Hi I made a new plugin to remove parental rating from the end of title in EPG when separated by parentheses, for example "Program title (12)". The obtained parental rating is then placed into correct EPG field. The feature can be activated/disabled from plugin setup. Requirements: VDR-1.7.26 or later If there are other features related to handling of EPG data you would like to add please let me know. I'll be happy to integrate them to this plugin. -- Matti

[PATCH] Strip parental rating from title in EPG
by Matti Lehtimäki 15 Mar '12

15 Mar '12

Hi Finnish channels add parental rating to the end of title in EPG separated by parentheses, for example "Program title (12)", which in both annoying and also makes alphabetical sorting not function properly as different episodes may have different parental rating. The attached patch will remove the parental rating from the title and place it into correct EPG field. If this is to be integrated into vdr-core it should be decided to which bugfix level it belongs. I added it to bugfix level 1 as it basically is misuse of EPG fields. P.S. I have only tested this patch with 1.7.22 because my kernel is not supported anymore in most recent developer versions but it should not cause problems. -- Matti

locale issue with --edit
by Tobi 14 Mar '12

14 Mar '12

This was driving me mad! I have a NTSC TS-recording with 29.97002997 fps. When I set cut marks via the VDR-OSD and cut the recording, this works fine. But when I cut the same recording with the same cut marks with `vdr --edit`, the cut points are offset by some seconds e.g. the beginning of the cutted recording is about 9 seconds earlier than it should be. Reason: When invoking `vdr --edit` LC_NUMERIC is *not* set to "C" yet when CutRecording() is called. My default locale uses "," as the decimal point, causing the framerate to be parsed as 29.0 instead of 29.97002997. setlocale(LC_NUMERIC, "C") should be called earlier in main(). Tobias
