Hi Michael,
- the drivers are loaded
- i installed FFMPEG manually, but i thought that the c't vdr managed
the installation of all needed hollywood+ stuff correctly. Anyway, the installation of ffmpeg didn't change anything
When i try "mplayer -ao oss:/dev/em8300_ma-0 -vo dxr3 dvd://1" i can see the DVD via the h+ card. So now i know that is not broken. But i cant't imagine, what's wrong when i try to disply the vdr ...

hi,to be certain that the h+ is working you could have a look at the init parameters of the dxr3 drivers, there is a picture generator function intergrated (can´t remember witch module, its to long ago)

Christian,
A Hollywood+ card needs some specific drivers to be loaded prior to use it ! If your TV is flickering when loading the drivers, it seems that you have some drivers... Meanwhile, the TV screen should normally (often) became grren for a while, before displaying the channel you're watching !
So that, could you please look at the following:
- If you display loaded modules (bash command is lsmod), do you see the em8300 drivers ?
- Do you have FFMPEG installed correctly ? EM8300 drivers needs that !
EM8300 is the driver used to manage the Hollywood+ card.
More informations about installing/using the DXR3 plugin is located at http://www.linuxtv.org/vdrwiki/index.php/Dxr3-plugin
PS: Before changing the setup.conf file for changing the primary device, make sure that vdr is not working !

Ok. Your card and cable are working fine ! Nice !
So now let's try changing the setup.conf ! But bne sure that vdr is stopped before changing the file as vdr saves the setup.conf file before leaving (well, that's what I noticed !)...
By the way, before doing that ! Did you load the DXR3 plugin when starting vdr ? Because even if you use the wrong primary device for input, you should at least see the OSD on the TV !
Hope it helps.
vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr I tried to change settings in the setup.conf with a stopped vdr. But it didn't work. :-( Even the OSD is not displayed. I get nothing expect the flickering while drivers are loaded. Err, the dxr3 drivers are loaded by /etc/init.d/vdr start -dxr3 or not?? When VDR is started these are last the ouput lines:
av7110: found av7110-0 adv717x.o Configuring for PAL am8300_audio.o: Analof audio enabled em8300: Microcode version 0x29 loaded

Christian, I not use the same command than you for starting vdr ! To load plugins, I use -Ppluginname so, for the dxr3, it is -Pdxr3 !
You should also have a look at log files in case there is more messages !
Hope it helps... but not sure !
