VDR 2.x so far is really no different from 1.7.x so if you can manage to get 1.7.x working, 2.x shouldn't be a problem. Also, you don't really need a howto. Just get the source, install whatever dependencies are needed, compile, and enjoy!

Hi!

The documentation you mentioned here describes vdr 1.7 It works wonderful, but as my Linux/VDR becomes more and more outdated, I tried to setup a new VDR with VDR 2.0

Are there already any howtos for vdr 2.0 and xineliboutput and HDTV? (Or any other frontend, which can be used for HD without a FF-card.)

I have managed already to startup this combination, but in replay-mode when I jump forward/backward one minute or do fast-forward/-backward, then everything hangs, but only with HD recordings. SD works fine.

Or am I the first one, who tries vdr 2.0 and xineliboutput? ;-)

There is some documentation here, but it's written for arch linux, so it can work different for a different distro: https://wiki.archlinux.org/**index.php/VDRhttps://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/VDR https://wiki.archlinux.org/**index.php/VDR#Streaming_VDRhttps://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/VDR#Streaming_VDR

For encrypted DVB-T, see this document: https://wiki.archlinux.org/**index.php/Digitennehttps://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Digitenne

If you have any questions that are not answered in the above documents, please let me know, so I can improve on those documents.

Please feel free to copy and modify these documents so they match your distro, and then submit them to the sites you have searched. This can be a great help for the next person seeking the same information.

Best regards, Cedric

No, at least there is me using this combination. Even with streaming HD content over old g-Wlan, I get through, at least nothing "hangs" at the end. With simple wired connection or using the client on the vdr-box itself, there are no playback problems I noticed.

Do you use vdr-sfxe as the frontend? Could you please tell me, which version of vdr, xineliboutput and xine-lib you are using?

I have this versions: - current Sabayon-Linux - vdr-2.0.2 - xine-lib-1.2.2 - libav-0.8.6 and I have tried this versions of xineliboutput: vdr-xineliboutput-1.0.5.tar.bz2 vdr-xineliboutput-1.0.6.tar.bz2 vdr-xineliboutput-1.0.7.tar.bz2 and CVS: cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@xineliboutput.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/xineliboutput co -P vdr-xineliboutput

HD-replay works fine, but when I skip one minute forward/backward or use fast-forward/backward, then vdr-sxfe hangs. After killing vdr-sxfe and restarting it, I can see the video still playing.

This is how vdr-sxfe presents itself: vdr-sxfe --help vdr-sxfe 1.0.90-cvs (build with xine-lib 1.2.2, using xine-lib 1.2.3)

As far as I can reconstruct I downloaded and compiled the source on 26th May this year.

My client pc is a sabayon box too, but I use ffmpeg from portage tree instead of libav. The disadvantage of this is that I have to use and compile the tools depending on virtual package ffmpeg (like xine-lib, mplayer, vlc ...) from portage tree as well:

Thank you very very much! Today I made an update to xine-lib 1.2.3 (with portage, not entropy) and now VDR works fine!

The installation is straight forward, but nevertheless I documented it here: http://www.loescher-online.de/vdr.html#notebook-vdr (Sorry for some German texts in there, but the essentials should be understandable...)

I have only tried vdr 1.7 with SD content, so I cannot check why your setup hangs. When I have time I will document howto setup VDR2 on debian. Anything in /var/log/everything.log while you jump?

Oh, of course, but nothing leading me to the problem, but perhaps you can find something.

The only error-message I can see is "cXinelibServer::GetSTC timeout", but I don't know if this is related to my problem.

When vdr-sxfe hangs, then I have to kill it and restart it. Then I can see the playing video, so vdr is still running and working.
