Driver installation went fine (once when turning on i2c and videodev modules in kernel), however dvbd is now not starting. As far as I can conclude from dvbd sources and my log files, problem is in the fact that there is no dvb0 device on my machine. "GetFlags: No such device" error message is logged from setmac() function (dvdb.c file) and mentionned device name should be dvb_netdevice that is hardcoded to "dvb0" in dvdb.h file. So, should I create node for dvb0 and how (what are major and minor numbers of this device)? Or problem is something else?

Recording radio programmes, ist that possible? I think that VDR does not do it because there is no "picture" stream and thus concludes it has not (yet) tuned in. Is it possible to detect radio programmes from the channels.conf and adjust the recording behaviour? 2. Interface for external programs that can use the video devices This would be similar to the commands.conf but with some extension/handover mechanism so that an external program (the DVD player) can use the resources of a given DVB card. This, added with an option to kill the program when the card is needed for recording, would probably open the VDR for a lot of other things - an MP3 player, a slideshow for scanned/digital photographs... And some questions: 1. Audio play How can I play audio streams (mp2 or PCM would be fine) on the DVB card? 2. Still video play How can I produce a picture (probably some MPEG-2 I frame) to display on the TV? Perhaps even with audio - the audio playing while the stills are shown? 3. Analog recording This is not too far of - since I have a DVB-C and I am not going through the hassle of installing a dish and wrestling with my landlord of my flat - I would like to use my BTTV card to do analog recordings. There are several issues: a) a good recording program that does not skip frames the only one that seemed to work good in this area was nuppelvideo, but this has a crappy output format. I already have modified it so that it output YUV formats suitable for the "transcode" scripts and was able to produce valid VCD/SVCD compliant streams but I would rather b) direct I-Frame-only MPEG-1 or MPEG-2 streams My machine (an AMD K6-2+ with 550MHz) is able to capture (nuppel again) video at 480x576 and 352x288 resolutions. I don't know but it should be possible to produce I-frame only video with prehaps PCM audio so that the recordings can be replayed by VDR immediatly? c) some integration of other devices in the channels.conf of VDR VDR currently has a channel setup assuming more or less identical possibilities on the cards (aside of CAM modules). Should this be extended to allow programs/channels to be assoicated with special hardware (i.e. this channel only available on that card or these cards - perhaps with other tuning parameters?) d) other code for recording How can different code be put into VDR to - for example - record analog radio/TV? Clean interface? I would prefer to re-use all the other functions of VDR, e.g. channel precedence.

Yes - the "master-Directory" /video0 contains the whole filetree and "symbolic-Links" to the 00x.vdr files at the other /videoX devices. - so your methode dont work. For my personyl i have made some simple batch scripts wich can collect all 00x.vdr files from all /videoX devices to a temp-Directory (( of a selected movie) and then i copy it to CD or to DVD-RAM. To watch this movie from DVD-RAM (CD-ROM here) i have also a short perl-Script wich links the directorytree of the DVD to the /video0 device - so vdr can use it ! Works fine here.

Yes - the "master-Directory" /video0 contains the whole filetree and "symbolic-Links" to the 00x.vdr files at the other /videoX devices. - so your methode dont work. For my personyl i have made some simple batch scripts wich can collect all 00x.vdr files from all /videoX devices to a temp-Directory (( of a selected movie) and then i copy it to CD or to DVD-RAM. To watch this movie from DVD-RAM (CD-ROM here) i have also a short perl-Script wich links the directorytree of the DVD to the /video0 device - so vdr can use it ! Works fine here.

Is there a FAQ anywhere on the net (readable for an end-user, not for an codec-programmer ?) thx bb -- Info: To unsubscribe send a mail to listar@linuxtv.org with "unsubscribe linux-dvb" as subject.

My (ugly) workaround was to change VDR so it would end itself every 30 minutes and put a shell script around the VDR call that reloads the driver and restarts vdr in a loop. That "solved" many driver problems (not only the one described above, but also the one where the OSD changes its colors randomly) until I implemented the mp3 play list feature for VDR. After replaying an Mp3 play list and then switching the tv channel, the driver would immediately go into the ARM reset loop. That one has apparently been fixed by the latest CVS version of the 0.8.2 branch. So, except for the broken multiplexing, I am happy now with the latest 0.8.2 driver. Give it a try!

Not quite. If you have a fast CPU, you can encode a full screen of OSD information as an I-frame and display that. Of course, that would preclude a life video background. I guess having a life background is nice for some things and less important for others. For example, the EPG and the recordings menu are much too small and I usually bring them up when I do not want to watch the current life video anyway. So maybe for just those two it would be great to have a larger resolution OSD? > If I find time I will trim it down somewhat. A smaller > font is no problem for me with a screen 2.43 m wide. :) The width of your screen is not the main factor. I have a crisp and clear TFT monitor here on my desk that shows 1600 pixels in a width of only 37 cm. The DVB-S card, however, will give you at most 720x576, no matter how wide your screen is. Having said that, I agree that the font could be slightly smaller and would still be quite readable. Klaus, I am sure you have experimented with that. What is your opinion?

However, IMHO it would be far more useful to have a VDR that records everything reliably without A/V dropouts, without the OSD changing colors randomly, without ARM reset loops, etc. Once everything is 100% stable, we should think about new features. Among the new VDR features that I would like to have before skins are: * playback of all media (DVD, VCD, MP3). * JPEG image snapshots by pressing one remote control button at any time. * Summary/EPG info by pressing one (always the same one) remote ontrol button at any time. * EPG display that is a table with the time on the X axis and the channel on the Y axis.

I might have mentioned the following idea here before: Would it not be sufficient to have a transparent OSD with video background for the two small displays (channel info at the top and replay status at the bottom)? For the other ones, in particular the recordings menu and the EPG, the current space is barely enough and I would *love* to see more info per page and I would gladly give up the live video background when using the recordings menu or the EPG (after all, I brought them up anyway because I want to watch something else). If that also buys us more firmware memory and thus gets rid of the dreaded A/V dropouts, would that not be just wonderful? Does everyone (and of course in particular, Klaus) agree with this? If yes, how hard might it be to extend VDRs OSD classes so they can create an I-frame and display it as still video for the "big" menus while still using the old OSD for the small status displays? How would that perform? How long does it take on an average (say 300 MHz) machine to create a full-PAL-size I-frame? Would it even perform better than the current OSD on some machines? Just a thought. Carsten. -- Info: To unsubscribe send a mail to listar@linuxtv.org with "unsubscribe linux-dvb" as subject.

The data genindex recognizes does not have the same format in all flavors of MPEG files. I had the same trouble you described and I was able to fix it.

However, IMHO a much better solution for this problem would be to define a summary button that gives you the EPG summary information about the current broadcast in one of the small transparent OSD windows. My idea is to define a consistent remote control button which *always* gives you summery information - no matter what state VDR is in (i.e. pressing that same button gives you the EPG summary text if you watch live TV or point at a channel in the channels or EPG menu, the recording's summary text if you watch a recording or point at it in the recordings or timer menu, etc.).

Would using 4 colors mean, that VDR could use twice the OSD screen space? That should be enough to make the OSD full PAL resolution - even with some reserve, right?

I am not sure how I should interpret this: With the VDR module parameter on, the OSD works, but the terrible A/V dropouts remain and with the VDR module parameter off, there is no OSD and recordings work flawlessly (like they used to before driver 0.7)? Both alternatives make no sense - at least not to me and propably not to any other VDR user, either. IMHO, VDR is an important application. I would even guess that the majority of people who use a Siemens or compatible DVB card under Linux use it with VDR. Am I correct here? Klaus, do you have a download counter for VDR? How many people have downloaded VDR 0.72 so far? Anyway, if this is true, I wonder if it would not be a good idea to closely align driver and VDR development in a way that allows VDR to function flawlessly like it did before driver 0.7. Ralph, assuming that most people who use a DVB card under Linux want to use it for video recording, what is the best way forward in your opinion? Are you planning to make the driver work flawlessly with VDR? Is convergence developing an alternative video recording application? Some people on this list mentioned that they still use old versions of VDR and the driver that only supported AV_PES but produced reliable recordings. Is that the best way to go?

My (ugly) workaround was to change VDR so it would end itself every 30 minutes and put a shell script around the VDR call that reloads the driver and restarts vdr in a loop. That "solved" many driver problems (not only the one described above, but also the one where the OSD changes its colors randomly) until I implemented the mp3 play list feature for VDR. After replaying an Mp3 play list and then switching the tv channel, the driver would immediately go into the ARM reset loop. That one has apparently been fixed by the latest CVS version of the 0.8.2 branch. So, except for the broken multiplexing, I am happy now with the latest 0.8.2 driver. Give it a try!

Not quite. If you have a fast CPU, you can encode a full screen of OSD information as an I-frame and display that. Of course, that would preclude a life video background. I guess having a life background is nice for some things and less important for others. For example, the EPG and the recordings menu are much too small and I usually bring them up when I do not want to watch the current life video anyway. So maybe for just those two it would be great to have a larger resolution OSD? > If I find time I will trim it down somewhat. A smaller > font is no problem for me with a screen 2.43 m wide. :) The width of your screen is not the main factor. I have a crisp and clear TFT monitor here on my desk that shows 1600 pixels in a width of only 37 cm. The DVB-S card, however, will give you at most 720x576, no matter how wide your screen is. Having said that, I agree that the font could be slightly smaller and would still be quite readable. Klaus, I am sure you have experimented with that. What is your opinion?

SVDRP does support everything needed, but kvdr isn't really up to the job - it does too much, and only works correctly when used on the same machine as VDR. I'm thinking about the ability to do a TCP connection to a VDR anywhere, to be able to see the current EPG info and program timers for it remotely. No video display or audio needed, mainly, 'just' the OSD part of VDR would suffice. anybody doing anything like this? a gtk application would be best.

I'm thinking about the ability to do a TCP connection to a VDR anywhere, to be able to see the current EPG info and program timers for it remotely.

Klaus, Have you considered the option of abandoning on-the-fly remuxing in VDR and just recording the TS directly? This would at least free your time to concentrate on getting a stable VDR working with the latest drivers. My theory is that if VDR doesn't do anything to the stream delivered by the driver, then the driver shouldn't complain when VDR gives it back. Also, as i understand it, the budget cards would give perfect recordings, as the driver delivers the TS packets as received from the satellite. You could consider this either a temporary measure until the remuxing issue is resolved, or a permanent change to using a TS format (with the advantage of easily allowing the recording of additional streams, e.g. second audio or teletext). VDR could easily playback both TS files (using /dev/ost/dvr) and PES files (using /dev/osd/video), so no existing recordings would need to be converted. There will, of course, be problems for users who need to use the recorded streams with applications that don't support TS files, but external conversion utilities are available. What do you (and other VDR users) think? Is the PES format too useful to abandon? Dave. -- Info: To unsubscribe send a mail to listar@linuxtv.org with "unsubscribe linux-dvb" as subject.

Yesterday I tested this out on Pro-7, and successfully recorded all 3 streams into the same TS file - PIDs 255 (video), 256 (mpeg audio) and 257 (ac3 audio). Using the command: ts2pes 0 257 < recording.ts | ac3dec I got perfect audio through my (stereo) soundcard. I used the latest CVS version of "ac3dec", available from linuxvideo.org. "ts2pes" is part of the mpegtools distributed with the driver. The problem I think you will have if you try and playback the ac3 stream "live" is syncronisation - the video will probably always be ahead of the audio.. You may only be able to solve this by using one DVB card to receive the channel, and another to decode it (i.e. VDR's "transfer mode"). Maybe the best format for recording would be as a Program Stream (PS/VOB) file. This way, users can use any of the available DVD players (including the dvdplayer that uses the DVB-S card?) to replay the recorded files. I don't know the details of PS files, so I can't help with the conversion. I know PS files are designed to have multiple audio streams - I don't know anything about the way you suggest for PES files.

But maybe > you can come up with a smaller font that doesn't flicker... An alternative method (which has been mentioned on this list before), is to use the TV-OUT of your graphics card (if you have one), and then use your graphics card to generate the OSD. I've been experimenting with DirectFB and the port of gdk for DirectFB to do just this. Using the example programs included with both projects, I've managed to hack together a "proof-of-concept" test program that overlays alpha-blended GTK windows onto live full-screen video from the DVB-S card - all in about 100 lines of code. I don't have a VGA card with TV-OUT, so I can't comment on what the quality will be like, but it is looking good on my monitor (I have a 3dfx Voodoo Banshee card). Hopefully there are graphics cards out there with TV-OUTs that can match the DVB-S card's TV-OUT.

My only references are ISO-13818-1 (the MPEG standard) and EN 300 468 (the DVB-SI standard). According to those references, a lot of the descriptors I am finding are listed as "user defined". Is there any documentation available on these? Are there any other standards that define descriptors apart from the two I mention? An example is descriptor 0xc5 - this is easily interpreted and contains an id number and channel name for Canal Satellite radio stations on (e.g.) Astra 19E. These differ to normal Radio Stations because they are all transmitted as part of the same service - in effect multiple audio channels. This descriptor is listed as "user-defined" in EN 300 468 - is it defined in any public standards document?

Yesterday I tested this out on Pro-7, and successfully recorded all 3 streams into the same TS file - PIDs 255 (video), 256 (mpeg audio) and 257 (ac3 audio). Using the command: ts2pes 0 257 < recording.ts | ac3dec I got perfect audio through my (stereo) soundcard. I used the latest CVS version of "ac3dec", available from linuxvideo.org. "ts2pes" is part of the mpegtools distributed with the driver. The problem I think you will have if you try and playback the ac3 stream "live" is syncronisation - the video will probably always be ahead of the audio.. You may only be able to solve this by using one DVB card to receive the channel, and another to decode it (i.e. VDR's "transfer mode"). Maybe the best format for recording would be as a Program Stream (PS/VOB) file. This way, users can use any of the available DVD players (including the dvdplayer that uses the DVB-S card?) to replay the recorded files. I don't know the details of PS files, so I can't help with the conversion. I know PS files are designed to have multiple audio streams - I don't know anything about the way you suggest for PES files.

An alternative method (which has been mentioned on this list before), is to use the TV-OUT of your graphics card (if you have one), and then use your graphics card to generate the OSD. I've been experimenting with DirectFB and the port of gdk for DirectFB to do just this. Using the example programs included with both projects, I've managed to hack together a "proof-of-concept" test program that overlays alpha-blended GTK windows onto live full-screen video from the DVB-S card - all in about 100 lines of code. I don't have a VGA card with TV-OUT, so I can't comment on what the quality will be like, but it is looking good on my monitor (I have a 3dfx Voodoo Banshee card). Hopefully there are graphics cards out there with TV-OUTs that can match the DVB-S card's TV-OUT.

TechnoTrends have told me that none are available at the moment, but that Hauppauge will be releasing one in the near future. An email to Hauppauge UK (sort-of) confirmed this - they were being vague. Are there any plans to integrate support for these cards into the DVB driver - thereby completing the support for the three varieties of tuners. I'll be happy to help all I can with this.

My only references are ISO-13818-1 (the MPEG standard) and EN 300 468 (the DVB-SI standard). According to those references, a lot of the descriptors I am finding are listed as "user defined". Is there any documentation available on these? Are there any other standards that define descriptors apart from the two I mention? An example is descriptor 0xc5 - this is easily interpreted and contains an id number and channel name for Canal Satellite radio stations on (e.g.) Astra 19E. These differ to normal Radio Stations because they are all transmitted as part of the same service - in effect multiple audio channels. This descriptor is listed as "user-defined" in EN 300 468 - is it defined in any public standards document?

If you have problems doing this, make sure you load the TV application before you start VDR.

It starts up, but i dont get any tv picture with it. i tried it a lot, one thing that i noticed, is, the gVideo Program complains about not finding /dev/ost/sec0, /dev/ost/frontend0 and others in /dev/ost. these devices exist and have been made by the devices.napi file( ithink that was the name, a shell script to create those devices). Nevertheless, gVideo doesnt find them. I changed permissions a lot, made them writable, no differnce. I read about gVideo being no longer the one to use, instead tried tuxzap, but i got similar errors, installing this one, as described in an email i read today in this list, this autoconf problem, i tried ./autogen.sh, but it stopped with errors, and i dont know autoconf enough to debug it. So i still didnt have a program to test the driver and watch tv. Then i tried to install and run vdr 0.72 version. it compiled ok, found it in /var/log/user.log, also seems ok, but now, how can i see a tv picture? I read various stuff about the composite video output, tried to connect a cynch adapter coming with the card, to a scart plug, using a chart from the linux-dvb FAQ site. Can this CVBS-output be used for this? Or do i have to take the J2 connector? Did i misunderstand the FAQ? So far i dont get a picture on my TV set. Same when i connect the CVBS video connector to TV and use the windows software. If possible, i would like to build in a scart female plug into the pc box, internally connected to J2. i am working on this for some days(nights;-)) and am getting nervous with this. Maybe someone of you developers could give me a hint, what might be the problem? I will provide whatever logfile or errormessages(tuxzap, gVideo) you may need. Another question (a bit further along) is, if it is possible to get more than one audio track seperated (maybe up to 8 different tracks) and record or play them with maybe different soundcards, or whatever maybe necessary. They all are associated with a single tv-dvbs-channel. If anyone finds the time to give me a reply, i will appreciate it a lot. thank you Dieter Maas -- Info: To unsubscribe send a mail to listar@linuxtv.org with "unsubscribe linux-dvb" as subject.

Then switch to that channel. i see the OSD(which means the control menu on the tv screen, i understand) when i compile VDR with the menu-debug option, on the pc virtual terminal window. In this mode, i can use the menu(only with pc keyboard, nothing else configured), but get a seg fault when when going to "Program" what i dont get, is first of all the OSD via CVBS output (i mean the builtin connector coming out of the card, with the included cynch adapter-> scart -> tv) on the tv.

It is supposed to be there. ah ja, didnt know that, then this cant be the fault, i now have only those channels left in the channels.conf, that i for sure can get, first telesierra, but still no picture. and no audio. And with the now different first channel, the user.log vdr complain "channel 1 not synced" is still there. there is no feature for scanning channels in vdr isnt it? i will reboot to windows and look at the channels i can get, and the values they have, write down one of them exactly. Then i could try some more driver options, its probably like all of this linux stuff, after 1 2 or 3 weeks of installing and learning its all up and running stable as a rock ;-), and one loves it because of the work that lead to success in the end;-) do you know anything else i could do? i would appreciate any more hints:-) dieter -- Info: To unsubscribe send a mail to listar@linuxtv.org with "unsubscribe linux-dvb" as subject.

So far i installed and use the latest versions of vdr/dvb (up to vdrpre5 and dvb-cvs of one of the last days). I have a new Hauppauge dvb-s, 2.4.2 kernel, Duron 750 board, LFS-linux system. It works, i can watch tv and record. bugs: there are two persistent bugs, that essentially didnt change over the last updates (two weeks?) 1. starting vdr takes several (sometimes 5 or so) tries to get a channel (i use hotbird) synced and displayed. Once there is one displayable channel, i also can switch channels and get all on my channels.conf. Sometimes (unpredictable) driver crashes or something, so that tuning isnt possible anymore, need to restart. 2. Audio distortion when replaying recordings, which seem to be a little better now. These problems have been reported by many on the list, so i will wait and try the new updates coming. One question: I have a remote control that came with my "new" hauppauge dvb-s Can this be used with the lirc package? Is it the same as the one that comes with other WinTv cards and is described in the lirc-project? If anyone has got this one working with vdr, can you give me some hints, or a quick step-by-step, since this setup seems quite a landscape to search through too, and my first tries of today couldnt make it work. Your hints would save me some time, and so would be very much appreciated. My plans: I want to record a regular program on hotbird (someone speaking) with two audio channels, one original english and one translation. I think i will use a wintv nova for the second audio channel, found no other solution so far, and as first approach record them both on analog vhs, one audio channel as audio-right and one as audio-left. This is necessary, since we have an infrared headphone system on a vhs-video system for providing translation to people needing translation. as second approach, i want to record those three: video stream, original and translation on (s)vcd and replay it with dvd-player I will stick to anlog-vhs recording with two cards as long as recording has this distortion, and until i found out the way to make a cd-recording with those two audio channels, that is replayable on a dvd-player. This is what i want to do in the near future, and as i said before any help or hints are very much appreciated.

It is supposed to be there. ah ja, didnt know that, then this cant be the fault, i now have only those channels left in the channels.conf, that i for sure can get, first telesierra, but still no picture. and no audio. And with the now different first channel, the user.log vdr complain "channel 1 not synced" is still there. there is no feature for scanning channels in vdr isnt it? i will reboot to windows and look at the channels i can get, and the values they have, write down one of them exactly. Then i could try some more driver options, its probably like all of this linux stuff, after 1 2 or 3 weeks of installing and learning its all up and running stable as a rock ;-), and one loves it because of the work that lead to success in the end;-) do you know anything else i could do? i would appreciate any more hints:-) dieter -- Info: To unsubscribe send a mail to listar@linuxtv.org with "unsubscribe linux-dvb" as subject.

So far i installed and use the latest versions of vdr/dvb (up to vdrpre5 and dvb-cvs of one of the last days). I have a new Hauppauge dvb-s, 2.4.2 kernel, Duron 750 board, LFS-linux system. It works, i can watch tv and record. bugs: there are two persistent bugs, that essentially didnt change over the last updates (two weeks?) 1. starting vdr takes several (sometimes 5 or so) tries to get a channel (i use hotbird) synced and displayed. Once there is one displayable channel, i also can switch channels and get all on my channels.conf. Sometimes (unpredictable) driver crashes or something, so that tuning isnt possible anymore, need to restart. 2. Audio distortion when replaying recordings, which seem to be a little better now. These problems have been reported by many on the list, so i will wait and try the new updates coming. One question: I have a remote control that came with my "new" hauppauge dvb-s Can this be used with the lirc package? Is it the same as the one that comes with other WinTv cards and is described in the lirc-project? If anyone has got this one working with vdr, can you give me some hints, or a quick step-by-step, since this setup seems quite a landscape to search through too, and my first tries of today couldnt make it work. Your hints would save me some time, and so would be very much appreciated. My plans: I want to record a regular program on hotbird (someone speaking) with two audio channels, one original english and one translation. I think i will use a wintv nova for the second audio channel, found no other solution so far, and as first approach record them both on analog vhs, one audio channel as audio-right and one as audio-left. This is necessary, since we have an infrared headphone system on a vhs-video system for providing translation to people needing translation. as second approach, i want to record those three: video stream, original and translation on (s)vcd and replay it with dvd-player I will stick to anlog-vhs recording with two cards as long as recording has this distortion, and until i found out the way to make a cd-recording with those two audio channels, that is replayable on a dvd-player. This is what i want to do in the near future, and as i said before any help or hints are very much appreciated.

With the adapter you are describing, it sounds like you have a new Revision 2.1 DVB PCI card. The 2.1 DVB PCI cards use a STV0299 demodulator which isn't supported by the 0.8.2 driver, but the new 0.9 driver in CVS does have support for the STV0299 although you will have to use a beta version of vdr (e.g VDR 0.80pre4) which supports the new API of the 0.9 driver. Alternatively you could do a backport of the STV0299 support in 0.9 to the 0.8.2 driver, when I did it, it only took a few minutes. The yellow plug is composite video out. > The audio connectors work, meaning, i find positions on the scart connector for > a tv audio signal, but the video connection i dont get. > i dont have an oscilloscope to test the video out signal. > > Do i have to use the J2 connector, since its described in the FAQ? i will > test this next, if i dont find a quick solution.

If you do have a Rev. 2.1 DVB PCI card, you could try VDR 0.80pre4 (or later) with the DVB 0.9 driver in CVS.

Basically you have to copy files and modify sections of code dealing with the STV0299 demodulator and TSA5059 tuner. I copied VES1820.c, VES1893.c, stv0299.c & dvb_demodulator.h files from the 0.9 driver to the 0.8.2. Have a look at 0.9's dvb.c and search for I2C_DRIVERID_STV0299 and do similar modifications in 0.8.2's dvb.c. For a final confirmation that you have modified everything in dvb.c, everywhere there is an occurrence of I2C_DRIVERID_VES1893 there should be similar code for I2C_DRIVERID_STV0299 nearby. modify 0.8.2's tuner.h, add the following line (which is from 0.9's tuner.h): #define TUNER_TSA5059 18 Have a look at 0.9's tuner.c and search for TSA5059 and do similar modifications in 0.8.2's tuner.c. Also driver/Makefile needs to be modified, see where stv0299 is used in the new Makefile and put it in the 0.8.2's Makefile. I haven't tested the modifications to 0.8.2 driver with VDR, I was more concerned with studying/filtering MPEG2 PSI/DVB SI packets with my own little program, but assume it should work.

With the adapter you are describing, it sounds like you have a new Revision 2.1 DVB PCI card. The 2.1 DVB PCI cards use a STV0299 demodulator which isn't supported by the 0.8.2 driver, but the new 0.9 driver in CVS does have support for the STV0299 although you will have to use a beta version of vdr (e.g VDR 0.80pre4) which supports the new API of the 0.9 driver. Alternatively you could do a backport of the STV0299 support in 0.9 to the 0.8.2 driver, when I did it, it only took a few minutes. The yellow plug is composite video out. > The audio connectors work, meaning, i find positions on the scart connector for > a tv audio signal, but the video connection i dont get. > i dont have an oscilloscope to test the video out signal. > > Do i have to use the J2 connector, since its described in the FAQ? i will > test this next, if i dont find a quick solution.

If you do have a Rev. 2.1 DVB PCI card, you could try VDR 0.80pre4 (or later) with the DVB 0.9 driver in CVS.

Basically you have to copy files and modify sections of code dealing with the STV0299 demodulator and TSA5059 tuner. I copied VES1820.c, VES1893.c, stv0299.c & dvb_demodulator.h files from the 0.9 driver to the 0.8.2. Have a look at 0.9's dvb.c and search for I2C_DRIVERID_STV0299 and do similar modifications in 0.8.2's dvb.c. For a final confirmation that you have modified everything in dvb.c, everywhere there is an occurrence of I2C_DRIVERID_VES1893 there should be similar code for I2C_DRIVERID_STV0299 nearby. modify 0.8.2's tuner.h, add the following line (which is from 0.9's tuner.h): #define TUNER_TSA5059 18 Have a look at 0.9's tuner.c and search for TSA5059 and do similar modifications in 0.8.2's tuner.c. Also driver/Makefile needs to be modified, see where stv0299 is used in the new Makefile and put it in the 0.8.2's Makefile. I haven't tested the modifications to 0.8.2 driver with VDR, I was more concerned with studying/filtering MPEG2 PSI/DVB SI packets with my own little program, but assume it should work. I would have supplied a patch file, but I never got around to finishing an install of a fresh copy of Mandrake 8 over the weekend.

Basically, this wraps a file (much like Wrapster) into a suitable format to be stored on a DV camcorder. The reason why this is so interesting is that archival costs are astoundingly low, about a factor of 10 less than current hard-drive solutions. On a $3-$4 LP tape, I have been told that you can fit about *20 GB* of data, enough for a full-length HD 1080i movie and I'm guessing many hours of DVB material. Further, these camcorders are reasonably priced, some under $500. Right now, the three tools are command-line Windows, so I bet that they would work fine in a suitable emulator. Andy has released v 1.0 as freeware, and has expressed his hope of cleaning up the code and making it open source. I don't know what the other caveats and details are for Linux (especially moving the .avi file to and from the camcorder), but I'm sure that Andy would want to hear user reports and has said he would recompile under Linux, if there is sufficient interest.

You may be able to send out AC3 data as PCM, but you are probably not able to set the bit in the Channel-status information. The only way to set this may be small external hardware just like the copy-protection bit strippers I have seen some time ago. This hardware has to be controlled dynamically to still allow PCM streams. Emil -- Info: To unsubscribe send a mail to listar@linuxtv.org with "unsubscribe linux-dvb" as subject.

The only problem here is to syncronize everything properly. But this is also no problem with DVD replay. So why should there be any problem with DVB? I think the support for AC3-passthrough is missing here because nobody thought 2 years ago that AC3 will ever be part of the DVB standard and a station will really broadcast anything. I don't know what chip is used in the Nokia 9800S settop box. But this box is also not capable of AC3 output and there it is a hardware limitation. Maybe we have the same here on the DVB-S and no firmware will ever be able to set the necessary flag. And the reason for dropping all the standard tv signals on the DVB card may be just costs. The DVB-S card is really expensive compared to fully functional settop box. The new stripped down cards are much cheaper and therefor attractiv for normal PC users. I assume that most PC users don't connect the video/audio to there regular tv. Emil -- Info: To unsubscribe send a mail to listar@linuxtv.org with "unsubscribe linux-dvb" as subject.

The firmware of the DVB card is crashing sometimes and VDR normally recovers from that. The color change of the OSD can be prevented by disabling the EPG scanner. I run now since about two weeks without any OSD problem since I disabled the EPG scanner. If I look at the code it looks like the scanning process changes the channels very fast without any delay. This my cause this problem here. There is not much loss because when you change channels the EPG from this transponder is read in anyway. There is nothing additional what can be done. We have to wait until the new version is stable to see whether this problems can be fixed there.

The OSD is used only during normal viewing and playback. So I see two possible solutions: 1. Systems using only one card During recording the OSD-memory can be released by the firmware and used for video/audio buffers. In viewing/playback mode the memory is used for OSD. 2. Systems using multiple cards I assume that most people with multiple cards have VDR configured so that the primary card is never used for recordings. I at least have done it this way because sometimes with multiple concurrent recordings it happend that a recording was started at the primary card and VDR was blocked for playback even one of the secondary cards was free in the meantime. A secondary card which is used only for recording doesn't need any OSD. So what about a option to specifiy for each card whether the memory is used for OSD or video/audio buffers? Both options may even be combined automagically by allowing to specifying a memory use option (OSD on/off) always when a recording is started. Ralph, is it possible to turn OSD on/off dynamically?

A quick look through the sources of VDR and the DVB driver didn't show any limitations beside the 720 pixel horizontal line width.

You may be able to send out AC3 data as PCM, but you are probably not able to set the bit in the Channel-status information. The only way to set this may be small external hardware just like the copy-protection bit strippers I have seen some time ago. This hardware has to be controlled dynamically to still allow PCM streams. Emil -- Info: To unsubscribe send a mail to listar@linuxtv.org with "unsubscribe linux-dvb" as subject.

The only problem here is to syncronize everything properly. But this is also no problem with DVD replay. So why should there be any problem with DVB? I think the support for AC3-passthrough is missing here because nobody thought 2 years ago that AC3 will ever be part of the DVB standard and a station will really broadcast anything. I don't know what chip is used in the Nokia 9800S settop box. But this box is also not capable of AC3 output and there it is a hardware limitation. Maybe we have the same here on the DVB-S and no firmware will ever be able to set the necessary flag. And the reason for dropping all the standard tv signals on the DVB card may be just costs. The DVB-S card is really expensive compared to fully functional settop box. The new stripped down cards are much cheaper and therefor attractiv for normal PC users. I assume that most PC users don't connect the video/audio to there regular tv. Emil -- Info: To unsubscribe send a mail to listar@linuxtv.org with "unsubscribe linux-dvb" as subject.

Some even have put it into the fridge before using it to avoid any problems. :) This problems seems to appear only on selected CAMs and was traced down to the quarz for the serial connection to the chip card.

The firmware of the DVB card is crashing sometimes and VDR normally recovers from that. The color change of the OSD can be prevented by disabling the EPG scanner. I run now since about two weeks without any OSD problem since I disabled the EPG scanner. If I look at the code it looks like the scanning process changes the channels very fast without any delay. This my cause this problem here. There is not much loss because when you change channels the EPG from this transponder is read in anyway. There is nothing additional what can be done. We have to wait until the new version is stable to see whether this problems can be fixed there.

I have an additional idea: For some regular recordings like the last news or other repeated recordings it would be nice to have a setting that a recording is deleted exactly after the number of days specified independend from how much disk space is available. This avoids filling up the recordings menu with a lot of recordings that are useless after some days.

The OSD is used only during normal viewing and playback. So I see two possible solutions: 1. Systems using only one card During recording the OSD-memory can be released by the firmware and used for video/audio buffers. In viewing/playback mode the memory is used for OSD. 2. Systems using multiple cards I assume that most people with multiple cards have VDR configured so that the primary card is never used for recordings. I at least have done it this way because sometimes with multiple concurrent recordings it happend that a recording was started at the primary card and VDR was blocked for playback even one of the secondary cards was free in the meantime. A secondary card which is used only for recording doesn't need any OSD. So what about a option to specifiy for each card whether the memory is used for OSD or video/audio buffers? Both options may even be combined automagically by allowing to specifying a memory use option (OSD on/off) always when a recording is started. Ralph, is it possible to turn OSD on/off dynamically?

Just look back in the archive. The problem ist hardware and not software. The DVB-s uses the same chip as the nokia 9800S which is not able to pass a AC3 stream through. So the strategy of Klaus is right to pass this stream to a separate program which can forward the data to a sound card with s/pdif.
