Hi Guys,
Thanks for your help, it worked !
I'm running vdr-1.7.0 with :
- home made LFS distro pure X86_64 (AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3500+); - S2API (latest drivers from http://mercurial.intuxication.org/hg/s2-liplianin); - Niels' combination patches from October; - Official & valid subscribtion from CanalSat (France) with HD & record options - DVB-S2 card from Technotrend Systemtechnik GmbH S2-3200 - and xineliboutput-1.0.3 plugin
This last one causes me some pb. It looses frames. Is there a particuliar version or patch to use as it is outputing in log :
video_out: throwing away image with pts 3640842 because it's too old (diff : 116836).
Kindest regards from a really pleased vdr user !
Pierre

Hi,
Could some pse tell me what kind of patch and v4l drivers i should use to run vdr-1.7.x in HD mode ?
According to LinuxTV Wiki for your card (source: http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/TechnoTrend_TT-connect_S2-3600):
- Multiproto (not advisable, since it's absolete)
- S2API (More precise: http://mercurial.intuxication.org/hg/s2-liplianin)
And for VDR 1.7.x, you have two choices:
- VDR 1.7.0 in combination with my patches from October;
- VDR 1.7.3 which was released this week;
If you're running a budget only system (read, no Reel eHD for hardware decoding off H264 or MPEG2) you might want to stick to VDR 1.7.0 because of some issues with the current plugins like xine and/or xineliboutput (at least, this is what I read on the ml). Beware though, VDR 1.7.0 has some audio issues with certain channels like BBC HD (which should be fixed by the implementation of TS format).
Q to all : The software output plugins had problems with 1.7.1 and 1.7.2 ( and perhaps 1.7.3?). Can anybody confirm that this problem still exists? Because the reason why I don't upgrade to newer editions, is because newer versions had problems with the vdr-xine and vdr-xineliboutput plugins.
thanks,
regards
Pierre
