Hi, I am running Fedora Core 3. I have made lots of changes to try and make it play nice.
LANG set to en_AU in /etc/sysconfig/i18n
LANG="en_AU" SUPPORTED="en_AU.UTF-8:en_AU:en"
set no NTPL environment variable in /etc/profile
export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.1
changed prelink options in /etc/sysconfig
PRELINK_OPTS="-m --no-exec-shield"
and forced a relink.
disabled selinux in /etc/sysconfig/selinux SELINUX=disabled
using patched versions of dxr3 and dxr3plugin from cachalot.mine.nu
With 1.3.12 it works pretty well except for an annoying jerky playback issue with mplayer that has snuck in in a recent version of the plugin. MPlayer playback outside of VDR is fine.
However, whenever I switch to a version of VDR newer than 1.3.12 the video/audio sync gradually drifts apart and switching between channels stops working properly - I have to select a channel, press "switch" and then select it again and press "switch" again for it to actually change the channel.
All the usual dxr3 problems still there in either versions - pink display after mplayer exits, display occasionally inverting red/blue.
I also have problems with AC3 sources - can't get them to play back. The audio detection on my Denon 1602 switches to "analog" input when I try and play AC3 sources and I get no sound. Femon says the signal strength etc is fine.
Anyone experienced anything similar? Any tips?
Anthony.

You may also want to try out my FC3 VDR rpms, http://cachalot.mine.nu/3/ (Use yum, apt or smart, or see (S)RPMS.{dvb,extras,lvn}.)
There are certainly some rough edges in these VDR packages, but things work pretty well for me as well as a couple of others who I've asked to test them.
Hi Ville, cool that you are maintaining some FC3 rpms.
I unfortunately won't be able to use them till the latest remote, femon and streamdev plugins can work with them.
I tried compiling these plugins with the rpm sources but got compile errors ( I think mainly with the poison patches from memory). Any plan to look at packaging any of these plugins into rpms?
I can help test - a "C" programmer I'm not so not much use at trying to fix the code right now.
Regards Anthony.

I had played with femon and remote earlier and had packaged them; I just resurrected and uploaded the packages (latest femon is available as SRPM only). I'm not actively using either, so approach with caution. No experience with streamdev here, so no package for it currently.
