nix sorry, danke, genau so wars! 
Wie gesagt es geht jetzt. Mit meinem 
$|=1 
habe ich wohl nur das buffering für senden erreicht. Deine Zeile 
select(SVPR); $|=1
erreicht auch den Eingangspuffer.

>Ansonsten wie hast du den vorher versucht zu empfangen? Bei mir hat das

genau so.

Nochmals danke!


Andere Frage: 
(Ich frage lieber gleich, da ich keine Lust habe nochmals wegen ein paar
Zeichen Stunden zu verbringen)
Weisst Du wieviel Aufwand es macht bttv und dvb unter Linux 2.2.14
gleichzeitig zum laufen zu bringen? Ich studiere gerade einige alte
threads der Mailingliste, werde aber noch nicht ganz schlau daraus. 

Gruß
  Michael

Subject: HowTo: DVB and bttv with Linux 2.2.x

Hello,

DVB and bttv are working together for me now. 
There are vdr, kvdr, xawtv and alevt running concurrently. Tuning is ok.

I know thats nothing too special (there were hints on this list and in
the kvdr doc), and will be obsolet with the comming kernels, but since
the Information is quite spread here`s a short howto for those
interested (maybe going into a future FAQ):


Change /etc/modules.conf like this:
  alias char-major-81       videodev
  alias char-major-81-1     bttv
  options bttv              card=2 vidmem=0xe00 radio=1

Rename DVB/driver/tuner.c to dvb-tuner.c. Replace all tuner.o in the
Makefile to dvb-tuner.o, recompile.  

If you alredy had installed the dvb driver, you did overwrite your old
tuner.o in /lib/modules/2.2.13/misc/. You have to get it back! (eg. by
reinstalling kernel sources with yast under Suse 6.3)

depmod

modprobe tuner
modprobe msp3400
modprobe bttv       

make insmod  (in DVB driver)

vdr  
kvdr
xawtv -c /dev/video1  
alevt -oldbttv -vbi /dev/vbi1 


I hope I didn't forget anything.

Greetings

   Michael

Subject: Difference between VGA and TV output

I am about to buy a system to use as a Linux-based STB, and have a question.  
What is the difference in picture quality between using the V output of the 
DVB card and using a TV output from a PC's normal video card?

I'm assuming that the DVB output will be of the higher quality, but can 
anyone comment on their experiences?  

I'm asking this because the system I am planning on buying (an Allwell 
STB3036N from www.gctglobal.com) has the ability to overlay alpha-blended 
windows on top of the VGA screen, which would seem to solve the OSD 
limitations that I've been reading about on this list.

Best wishes,

Dave Chapman.

You can use ac3dec (www.linuxvideo.org). This one generates lpcm data
from a ac3 stream.

Yes, you have to. If you're skilled in C then let me know it and i'll
post the correspoding function.

You mean, I HAVE to do this encapsulation ? Are there any easy to understand infos
somewhere ?


I am asking this, because when playing DVD via "dvdplayer", I have serious
timedifferences between audio and video, so sending audio to the DVB card would be
quite useful, at least for me :), and I am of good will to try implementing such a
feature to "dvdplayer" or others (although my knownledge of audio/video codecs is
very rough)


Many Thanks,
 Michael Esser

Subject: problem with irdeto CAM

I'm trying to use a irdeto CAM with my siemens dvb card
I only can say that it does not work for me :(
I tried vdr and gvideo:
gvideo just does not display anything when switching
to a channel I should be able to encrypt
vdr even stops to work after a while when the CAM is
inserted into the slot.

I don't really know what to do now ...
it may even be a hardware problem
(don't have any other sat receiver to check ..)

is there any tool I could use for testing?
should there be some messages in a log file that 
would tell me that the CAM is there?

for which voltage should this jumper be set 3/5V?

any help appreciated

Hello,
I have a problem with VDR: 
1-2 minutes after the recording starts I get a lot of  "record buffer full"
errors and then
 when I do the video playback I have video errors  (blocks and missing
frames).
Can you tell me how to solve this problem?

Also how do I record the 2nd language track from a tv program?
If I insert the 2nd language audio pid in the channel settings it still
uses the first and when
I record I only get a silent audio track.

Thanks,
Ennio

Subject: Video Disk Recorder version 0.67

The new version 0.67 of the Video Disk Recorder project
is now available at 

    http://www.cadsoft.de/people/kls/vdr/download.htm


NOTE: VDR now requires that you use DVB driver version 0.71. You need to load the dvb.o
module with option outstream=0. This is currently necessary because 'vdr' still works with
AV_PES data. It is also important that you apply the patch 'dvb.c.071.diff' (which comes with this
archive) to the driver file 'dvb.c' (this should become obsolete in future driver versions).

The EIT information is now gathered in a separate thread.

The sytem time can now be synchronized to the time broadcast in the DVB data stream.

The new item "Schedule" in the "Main" menu opens VDR's EPG.

New setup parameters MarginStart and MarginStop to control safety margins when programming a
timer from the EPG.

The delay value in the dvb.c.071.diff patch to the driver has been increased to '3', because on
some systems the OSD was not displayed correctly. If you are running an already patched version
0.71 driver and encounter problems with the OSD, please make sure the parameter in the ddelay
call is '3', not '2'.

Fixed initializing the RCU remote control code (didn't work after switching on the system).

I just select the program with gVideo and it plays well.

don't have minmax.h

Subject: TT budget card

 Hi!

 I've just checked the Hauppauge homepage and found some new digital cards
they want to introduce in the future. My interest is the Nova card (more
info at http://www.hauppauge.de/presse_wintvnova.htm ). Taking a closer
look at the photo taken from the card (in the photo gallery) there is a
small writing at the top-middle of the card, something: TT DVB 1.1 .
 My question: is this the same card it was on topic some week ago (the
TT budget card?). Checking the photo again there is no indication of the 
texas av7111.. since this av7111 is the "heart" of the DVB-s card, using
this budget card
 - the whole TS demultiplexing has to be done by the PC?
 - is it possible to watch encrypted channels with this card? (is it
possible to connect a CAM somehow?) apart from there is no MPEG2 video
decoder on the card.
 Thanks for any informations!
 Bye,
 David

I would guess so.
The feature description ("budget card, no MPEG decoder on board")
matches the description Ralph gave a few weeks ago.

>From the picture at 
   http://www.hauppauge.de/images/fotos/board_nova.jpg
I'd say it has no connector for it.

IMHO, the two main purposes for this card would be:

1.  EOL.
2.  As a secondary DVB-S card for recording only.
    Playback can be done via the primary card.
    

The card costs less than half the (list) price of the DVB-S
card, so it may be a bargain for the above two purposes.
Does anyone know whether Ralph's driver already supports it?

And: Can Klaus' VDR record a programme with this card while
     you watch THE SAME programme with the other card?

Carsten.

therefore how can I do this and who are the responsible

There is a semi-colon ";" missing in the kernel-sources since test10 pre
something. 
In
/usr/src/linux/include/linux/byteorder/swabb.h
in line 40 before the final backslash "\".

Wouah, no it compile without problem: many thanks ;-)

I have done a make clean in libdvb, and when I try to make, I got another
problem:

And I got the same problem as I attempt to compile VDR, is there also an easy solution?
I am back to gcc 2.95 because I had too many problems with 2.96, but maybe the problem
here is connected?

Thanks for all your help,

It seems that streampos was changed into a struct in version
2.95.3. It was a simple typedef from long long in 2.95.2 .
So "+" and "-" don't work. I don't know how they changed it. I'd have
to get a 2.95.3 first. Maybe they should have defined some operators.

Hello,

Since I have some "gcc-problems" with the compilatin of  /usr/src/DVB/libdvb/
and of /usr/src/VDR I think it could be a good idea to put the application
on the net, since there aren't kernels dependent (maybe I am wrong).

I would like to play with VDR ;-)

Of course that wouldn't allow to use specific function (such as lirc), but
it could be a beginning ;-)

Thanks,

Don't you think it would be better to solve the compilation problems
in the first place?

What exactly is happening?

Watching the same programme on the other card should not pose any
problems. This is basicly the same as just using two full featured
DVB-S cards, I believe.

Since the card doesn't provide any hardware for filtering the
transport streams it doesn't make sense to expect a CAM connector. You
could only write some software filters, implement the CI layers in
software on your machine and try to use a PCMCIA adapter to connect
your CAM and decode the transport stream.

The interesting thing is, that you get the entire transport stream,
i.e. all pids. This means you can record all channels of one
transponder, if your system is fast enough. I would also gues that you
could use mpeg2dec or even oms, if someone writes a plugin, to view
the streams.

Not, yet, but we are working on it.

Klaus would have to switch to recording transport streams instead of
AV_PES. But I guess he will do that anyway, since we are going to
phase out the AV_PES support in the driver. Instead you will get real
PES packets and the TS of the budget card can be converted to that
very easily.

While we're at it: in order to complete the switch to PES in VDR
the driver will have to react properly on a call to 'select()' in both
record and replay mode. As it is right now, this appears not to be the
case. (It does work as expected in AV_PES mode).

I have already mentioned this to Ralph, but since he's on vacation
at the time being I thought I'd ask you (Marcus) whether you can do
something about this.

With version 0.2 use the command line option -j for audio and video

Well, I am on the way of becomming mad trying to compil VDR ;-((

I have untared your minmax.h in the folder of eit.c and changed the include

Trustix). And I haded exactly the same results with the compilers from RedHat and Mandrake, and Suse do some things there way, so it sometimes

I doubt that.
In my distribution, streambuf.h is in /usr/include/g++/streambuf.h,
not in /usr/include/g++-3/streambuf.h. I'd bet the extra "-3" stand
for 2.95.3.

I am using the SuSE 7.0 professional distribution, which comes with
gcc/g++ 2.95.2.

Yes, the minmax is no more a problem ;-)

Well, maybe you could send me what rpm -qf /usr/include/g++/streambuf.h
give to you such that I can dowload the rpm and try to compile the great (I guess so)
VDR programm. If I cc to linux-dvb@linuxtv.org it because of what I found about 2.95.3
(with your help).

Argh, yes, you should be right ;-) I don't understand why Mandrake name their packages 2.95.2 and put 2.95.3 :-(
Browsing http://rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/search.php?query=libst I found that RedHat, Mandrake, Conectiva Linux, Trustix
have all 2.95.3 in there packages under the name 2.95.3. Is Suse the only one who say the truth? I believe so!
Unfortunately, it's not easy to find out which files are what in Suse, could you send me which one I need to
download to compil with a true 2.95.2?

Well, I think my Mandrake is far from being good ;-((((
I'll buy a Suse, it would be a lots of time savings!

Subject: mini HOWTO: compiling VDR under Mandrake (Redhat) ;-)

Hello,

Compiling VDR on a Mandrake could be quite long, and maybe impossible
without the help of Marcus O.C. Metzler and specially of Carsten Koch!

A great thanks to them for all there help (and kind patience) ;-))

So here it come: first of all, you'll need to know how to work with
rpm and specialy --nodeps --oldpackage and what that mean, if you are
not sure of what you are doing you could turn in a non bootable linux ;-((
And depending of what you have for a distribution, it might not work
for you: you've been warmed...

The problem come from the prerelease that came with Mandrake (and Trustix,
Mandrake) for example gcc-2.95.2 is in fact gcc-2.95.3 ;-(

You could find a true gcc-2.95.2 in Suse (I don't give you a mirror for
your contries, but it should'nt be too difficult to find), you need the
following files (all in 7.0/d1):
bin86.rpm     gcc.rpm      gpp.rpm   libgpp.rpm
binutils.rpm  gccmesg.rpm  libc.rpm  linclude.rpm

And magically, after that you could play with the great VDR: it compile
perfectly ;-)

And that's really a great, wonderfull programm ;-)

For my part, as I have DiseqC 2.0 I had to change every occurences of :1:
to :0: in channels.conf, not a big problem anyway ;-)

Once a day I found an URL which was able to generate channels.conf for a
hudge list of satelite, but I can't find it again: could someone please
give it back to me?

Another great thanks for all who worked on this project!!!

	Greg

Subject: Making the driver work 'non-blocking' with PES

I am currently struggling to make the DVB driver work with
non-blocking mode when replaying PES. However, my efforts
so far haven't resulted in a working solution :-(

Here's what I did, maybe somebody else can take a look at
this and possibly make it work:

- get the latest CVS driver version from linuxtv.org:

  cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@linuxtv.org:/cvs/linuxtv login
  cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@linuxtv.org:/cvs/linuxtv co DVB

- get the patch from http://www.cadsoft.de/people/kls/vdr/nonblock.tgz

- apply the patch (3 'diff' files) to the appropriate files in the
  DVB/driver directory

- make the driver

- 'make rmmod' for any running driver version

- 'make insmod' for the patched driver (note: no 'outstream=0'!)

- create a short recording with 'cat /dev/video > x.pes'

- compile the file 'xplay.c' that comes with the 'nonblock.tgz' archive

  g++ xplay.c -o xplay

- run the 'xplay' program in the directory where you created the
  'x.pes' file

The playback is rather distorted and ends way too soon. 
When you change the line 'bool UseSelect = true;' in xplay.c to
'bool UseSelect = false;', then the example program will not use
non-blocking mode, and it runs just fine.

If anybody could tell me what I'm doing wrong here, I'd greatly
appreciate that. Having the driver work with non-blocking mode
is necessary in order to switch VDR from recording AV_PES to PES.

Greetings
Klaus

Subject: Making the driver work 'non-blocking' with PES

The problem with non-blocking and pes playback is the conversion from
PES to AV_PES in the driver. We are currently changing the firmware,
so that it will send and accept PES instead of AV_PES. After that
there will be no more AV_PES, but non-blocking shouldn't be a problem.
Currently, it is not easy to predict how much free buffer space you
need for the incoming PES after the conversion. When the converted
packet reaches the point where it is written to the firmware and it is
realized that it can't all be written, you would have to tell the
application that x bytes were written and discard the ones that could
not be written. But you really would really have to translate it back
into PES in order to see what the right x value is and you would also
have to "turn" back the translation process to that point. This is not
that easily done. At least not as easily as switching the firmware to
PES.

Another solution would be to estimate the amount of data that can be
written to the firmware after the translation before the translation
starts and reject any surplus. That would be rather crude and waste
time and resources, but could be done. I haven't looked at Klaus
patch, yet, so I don't know how he tries to fix it.

I'll see what can be done. Have a look at the CVS, I 'll check in a
knew driver, if and when I find a good solution.

So according to this I guess it would be best if I just wait until the
driver is "all PES". I didn't know that you were going to change the
driver that far.

I assume the "all PES" driver will come with "non-blocking" capabilities?! ;-)

Looks like libXxf86vm is missing or not in your LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
It should be in /usr/X11R6/lib. Anyway, this should be recognized by
the configure script and it should tell you. What happens when you run
autogen.sh?
Maybe I have to read a little more about all that autoconf stuff.
It could also be that the latest version isn't checked into the public
CVS yet.

  i think the ipchains -L -v output would be a bit easier to read :)

  its in /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/dvb0/rp_filter . it has to be disabled (0) for the dvb0 interface,
 you can still add the ip spoofing protection for this interface using ipchains rules though.

think unless you have a DVB-C card (cabel-version) you will not
need it anyway.

it seems that the following works for him:

c++  -g -O2 -L../../../libdvb/src/si            ../../../libdvb/DVB.o                   ../../../libdvb/devices.o               ../../../libdvb/OSD.o tuxview.o interface2.o common.o gtvscreen2.o

I'll see how I can persuade automake to do it this way.

pffffffft
 
I've tried it all... ip_forward=1, rp_forward=0, nothing... maybe i;m
compiling wrong?
 
I start by untarring the saa7146-0.5.tar.gz, the
siemens_dvb-0.7.1.tar.gz, and the dvbd2.tar.gz (i'm not playing with the
router yet)
 
I then cd saa7146-0.5 and type make. This looks okay.
Then i cd DVB (what the siemens drivers made) and cd libdvb
make and make install
cd ../driver
make then make install then make insmod
cd ../dvbd
make
 
Now I'm wondering if i should untar the dvbd2.tar.gz in the DVB dir
created by the siemens tar or not? If i do, then make insmod in the
DVB/driver dir gives me this:
 
 /usr/src/linux/include/linux/modversions.h   -c -o dvb.o dvb.c
dvb.c: In function `dvb_ioctl':

make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.2.16'
make: *** [here] Error 2
and then dvbd does nothing (surprise surprise :))
Now if i don't copy the dvbd2.tar.gz into the DVB dir and untar it there,
I can't see what happens to the driver files it extracts to my src dir.
Or whether I should be using the dvbd it extracts to the src dir or the
one the siemens tar extracts to DVB/dvbd.
Also, whenever I make insmod in the driver dir, my rc_forward is set to
1. I then echo 0 to it, but that seems to make no difference. I've
compiled the dvbd.h with
 
#define network_device "ppp0"
#define dvb_netdevice  "dvb0"
but also no difference. I keep getting a happy looking signal when i
start dvbd, but i just can't ping to the transponder!
 
How necessary is it to set the last filter in dvbd.conf to your
mac-adress, lots of people are sending me dvbd.conf with only one filter
defined....?
 
cheers,
Robin

Looks fine to me. Here's what happens when I call up the web from
the Windows machine in the Pharmacy:

      ....... and how do i check if ip_spoofing is off? I
      can't find it in /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ somewhere....

Me neither............... doesn't seem to matter.
 My masquerading is done like this: (no firewalling here yet)

echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
/sbin/ipchains -A forward -j MASQ -i ippp0

This way any machine on the Network can connect to the Internet
 

Good luck

Hi Ralph!

In dvb.c, i guess line 3739 should be 

this:
	tspid1[3] |= (p->pid1++) & 0x0F ;
             ^
instead of:
	tspid0[3] |= (p->pid1++) & 0x0F ;
             ^
so that the continuity counter in PMT(?)-packets is incremented.

Greetings

Yes, you are right. Typical cut&paste error. My mistake. It is fixed
now and will be checked in soon.

maybe the placement of the files... eg. do i have to untar dvbd2 in DVB/

this mail is the first one that tells me to untar it in DVB/driver/...

I get the sound (and presumably picture, but I don't have a TV here to
plug it into, but i've seen it work with gVideo before). dvbd seems to
compile fine... wierd, inserting the modules puts rp_filter=1 every
time...

I'm most definately online, can always ping www.europeonline.net and any
other domain, ip or whatever... so no problems there. However (prepare
for stupid comment) I don't know how to disable my firewall! have to try
that still then.... because i'm just not getting any ping replies :( Only
the modules being inserted appear in /var/log/messages, but starting dvbd
has no effect on /var/log/messages. Is this significant?

tp? the dvb0-mac, is that the one i find in ifconfig dvb0 or the

i have no dvbd2 binary... i guess you mean the dvbd that is made

Subject: new VDR is great - VDR hangs with outcommand error

hi all.

first of all - thanks to klaus.

the new epg is GREAT - now even my wife (who starts to curse low-
voiced every time i touch the pc's keyboard) says it "was worth the 
effort" *g*.

seriously, VDR IMHO has made some big steps forward with the 
"schedule" menu. the point and click recording is superb.

===============

secondly, i like to ask what an "outcommand error" is, what it cause 
etc.

from time to time, VDR will not react to remote-commands anymore.
top tells me, that VDR running with wild 20-30% cpu-time (normally it 
uses max 8%, even when recording) and the log shows a couple of these 
"outcommand error"'s.
i've got a workaround with a remote-key told to exec "rcvdr restart" 
so this is just a minor annoyance.

next thing, when i run into these errors, is jan's pscan.
tried to use that to get a complete channel-listing - but the channel 
listings are always way shorter then expected, the even lack of some 
already "known" channels.
decided to sleep over it, next day tried again and notice these 
"outcommand error"'s. trying to get answers i think i notice that the 
scan extracted quite a number of channels till the first error 
occured, then it wont find additional channels anymore.

i found the statements in the driver source, but it doesnt help very 
much - this goes way beyond my knowledge.

ralph, marcus, anyone got an answer ?

wbr.tja...

It is an error in the firmware. I guess, the reason is usually the OSD
part which is not really written for heavy use. We would have to
rewrite all of that to properly fix it.

Does the program use OSD while scanning? You could try the stest
program that comes with the driver.

i c.
is there any thinkable way to get additional information about the 
cause of the error ?
because its hard to tell from outside. every VDR-operation triggers 
some sort of OSD output (except while recording & playback). and 
while you watch there is no sign that VDR is running wild. only next 
time you fumble on you remote you will see ;-)
to be clear: the driver works fine - but you cant switch the channel 
etc...

dont think so, its just an commandline tool IMHO and talks with the 
DVB driver. maybe jan could give us infos about pscan ?

i will look at stest, too.

Thanks!

However, I can't take all the credit for this, since almost everything
regarding the EPG was implemented by Robert Schneider. I merely did some
final touchup and menu integration.

So thanks again to Robert for a major contribution to VDR!

Subject: xawtv and kwintv segfault with the new drivers

Hi,

I use both a hauppauge bttv and a dvb on a pc (no tv) with a loopback video 
cable from the dvb to the bttv external video input. Used to work real fne.

Well, I switched to Mandrake 7.2 and the latest VDR abd DVB drivers (kernel 
2.2.17-21 recompiled, fresh install) and am having trouble getting the tv 
apps to work (and besides not getting VDR to respond to LIRC). 

The first time they are run, it appears both xawtv and kwintv segfault, the 
following attempts give a "device already occupied" message.      (nb: tested 
isolatedly with only analog drivers, xawtv and kwintv do work in my system)

Subject: xawtv and kwintv segfault with the new drivers

Hi,

I use both a hauppauge bttv and a dvb on a pc (no tv) with a loopback video 
cable from the dvb to the bttv external video input. Used to work real fne.

Well, I switched to Mandrake 7.2 and the latest VDR abd DVB drivers (kernel 
2.2.17-21 recompiled, fresh install) and am having trouble getting the tv 
apps to work (and besides not getting VDR to respond to LIRC). 

The first time they are run, it appears both xawtv and kwintv segfault, the 
following attempts give a "device already occupied" message.      (nb: tested 
isolatedly with only analog drivers, xawtv and kwintv do work in my system)

------------

Hi,

I found a thread from dec.99:

>there is a little prog ctest that tunes the channels for you like this:
>alias pro7='      echo 12480000 1 27500 0  255  256 | ctest'

Where can I find this ctest program ? 
It is not in the VDR or DVB packages.

Another question: Where can I find a recent dvbrc or channels.conf for
astra19.2 ? 
http://www.ses-astra.com/market/deutschland/tvradio/index.htm does not
mention APID and VPID (?).

I have Galaxis DVB CARD.

After calling dvbd in dvbd directory

I find two strange things

during loading it says several times:

It should be in the libdvb directory of the DVB package.

Subject: Internationalization of VDR

I have added support for different OSD languages to VDR.
The archive

   http://www.cadsoft.de/people/kls/vdr/vdr-0.68a.tgz

contains the files modified since version 0.67 that are
necessary for i18n support.

Currently the two languages English (default) and German
are supported. If anybody would like to add additional
languages please download the archive and extract it into
the version 0.67 VDR directory. Then read the instructions
in the new file 'i18n.c' on how to add a new language.

I suggest anybody who volunteers to add a new language should
announce their action on this list to avoid duplicate work.

If you find any typos in my German translations or feel that
a certain phrase should be translated differently, please feel
free to let me know ;-)

Greetings
Klaus

Of course you have to let us know what the errors are
if you expect us to tell you what they mean. ;-)

Those cards are identical.

First look at /proc/pci. It should contain an entry like this

  Bus  0, device  12, function  0:
    Multimedia controller: Philips SAA7146 (rev 1).
      Medium devsel.  Fast back-to-back capable.  IRQ 11.  Master Capable.  Latency=32.  Min Gnt=15.Max Lat=38.
      Non-prefetchable 32 bit memory at 0xe2000000 [0xe2000000].

If it does not, your card is not installed or does not
function at all.

If there is such an entry in /proc/pci, do a "make insmod" in
the DVB/driver directory and post the error message(s) you get.

Hi,
Well, got the latest VDR and DVB working with Mandrake 7.2 
The new VDR is great and stable with my configuration, but: 
-the use of a LIRC command is somewhat of a kludge though because 
buttonpresses tend to be catched twice. is there a way to set a time delay 
for key press catches?
- I don't know where to get the "Pnr" information for the different channels 
(I am using mostly french channels) to get the program titles and timing 
(great feature!) is there an URL on the web with this info?

There is one already.

1.  Try increasing REPEATDELAY (defined at line 86 of remote.c).

2.  If that does not work, try replacing

               if (Now - FirstTime < REPEATDELAY)
at line 450 of remote.c with
               if ((Now - FirstTime < REPEATDELAY) && (count != 1))

And let me know which one of the two solutions worked for you.

I have created a list that was quite complete two months ago when
I made it. My main source for it was a channel scan using DVB-2000
on a D-Box. The DVB-2000 is quite good. All entries in that list
have unique PNRs. See
      http://linuxtv.org/mailinglists/linux-dvb/msg02098.html
for the Astra 28.2o East list and
      http://linuxtv.org/mailinglists/linux-dvb/msg02097.html
for the Astra 19.2o East list.


I know of three people who are working on a channel scan for
the DVB-S card - Andreas, Jan and Klaus. Knowing that all three
are very talented and also knowing that the results so far are
rather poor, I'd say the task is very difficult. I have seen a 
working version so far only of Jan's software, but last time I 
tried it, it found far less channels than the D-Box firmware. 
I verified some of the mssing channels with vdr. They exist
(the driver can tune into them), so the problem is real. See
     http://www.panteltje.demon.nl/satellite

But even the DVB-2000-created list is not 100% perfect. Some
stations broadcast multiple language versions of their programme
on different APIDs. The windoze channel scan finds them and even
identifies the languages by name. My list does not. :-(

Hi!

I noticed the following problems with the driver handling PES-PCM
stream:
- The normal playback after pause, slow motion or fast forward
  doesn't work,
- NTSC playback works only from the beginning of first file,
- There are video disturbances while playing some DVDs. The solution
  is sending between 99% and 99.9% audio samples to the video device,
  but this distorts the sound. I don't know if this is driver fault
  or it is fault in ac3 decoding. I had this problem with most Dolby
  Digital 2.0 streams but I didn't notice it with Dolby Digital 5.1
  streams.

You can test this with the dvdplayer snapshot from:

It went better than previous posts, but not good.
I got this mail on Monday morning, 1:04h.
At exactly the same time, I also got the mails that
I posted at 13:41, 14:51 and 15h.

Does anyone know why these mails travel for 9 hours and longer?

The headers only show the way back from chambertin.convergence.de,
which took less than a minute.

Do you set the NTSC mode via the VIDIOCSPLAYMODE ioctl()?
NTSC auto detection only works at the start of the file just as you
describe it.

Just for the record: I have stopped working on the channel scan
(for now) and am currently implementing other things in VDR.
I'd like to release version 0.7, but that will have to wait until
the driver can do nonblocking I/O in PES mode...

Subject: Digital Terrestrial in the UK

I apologise in advance if my questions are not appropriate for this forum
& for my ignorance - I'm new to dvb matters.

I'd like to set up one of my linux boxen as a dvb vcr, & have found plenty
of info on the Web to keep me busy. However all that I can find requires
hardware decoding based on a dvb card, such as Siemens, marketted for
digital satellite.

Knowing nothing about the technologies involved, I have no idea if such
will work with terrestrial digi broadcasts, & if not, whether any suitable
hardware exists for which there is a linux driver. I'm in the UK & do not
have a digi satellite receiver.

Currently I have access to digital terrestrial via a normal aerial & a
couple of Nokia set top boxes (mediamaster 9850 t); one used with an
OnDigital subscription, & the other only for free-to-air. I can only
proceed with this if it is possible for linux to use the digi terrestrial
broadcasts.

Can anyone here clarify this issue for me? Thanks.

That would shift, but not solve the problem.

To solve the problem, we should use tab characters.
As a side effect, that would also improve the readability
of these files.

It could be that the tuner (drivers/tuner.c) in the galaxis STB has
another address as our driver reserves for the technotrend compatible
Fujitsu-Siemens Card we use... Look at the end of the driver_operations
to see that the address is at a fixed value. In my first dvb-driver i
had a routine to look for valid tuner (address) in every DVB-board.
Ralph/Marcus? Could you check for detail???

We have to check what kind of HW is different from our Technotrend Card
to say in detail why you can't get your tuner work for!

We have to check what kind of HW is different from our Technotrend Card
to say in detail why you can't get your tuner work for!

Well | charcters are not allowed in programme labels as far as I
understood the SI spec.
Othewise we could create .db files or even use a SQL server - just
kidding.

Do you think you have a saa7146 pci adpater in your multimedia board?
Check it, cause the open()-Routine in dvb.c checks over the
saa7146-pci-bios, if there's a saa7146 present! If there's not, your
multimedia board will not work with any of this dvb-0.7.x drivers.
Consider this!!!
Has the board a RevisionA,C saa7146-chip? Check this!

Leave out this module. It isn't used NOT for digital-tv. Only for the
analog-tv fall-back. Ralph/Marcus? Can you check the Makefile for the

It is for compatibility analog-audio fallback, if you have an add-on
analog-board (MXB, not DVB)on your 
DVB-card. Your cable-based dvb-technotrend card has a D/A-Converter
onboard, which converts the digital ES-Streams to analog audio. It is
only important for you, if want to use the analog-tv part on this add-on
card.
In 1996 there was a first so-called MXB(Multimedia Extension Board)
developed for analog-tv output. It was one of the first pci-cards to
presentate Analog-TV on your computer monitors. 
This Add-On Card is a Fall-Back on your DVB-Card to choose the M.Hunold
MXB ported-driver to look at analog channels!!!FujitsuSiemensComputers
has made this for the customers to use analog-tv in a transition to
digital-tv. Thats the background. Hope you understand the underlaying
stuff, now!?
I thought there was a add-on module for sat/cable/terr. for this
fallback to analog-tv? And you have definitly a cable one.

tuner.x scans for a tuner address and should report where it found

The Galaxis card should be identical to the Technotrend and Siemens
cards. 
There was one case before on the linux-dvb mailing list with a Galaxis
card. In that case there was a problem with talking to the dual ported
RAM. This was resolved for him by changing the motherboard. I don´t know why
it did not work on his original board.

But in this case there seems to be a general problem with the I2C
bus. It would be good to see a complete log of the kernel messages
during driver installation.

Check out the latest CVS version. It has been fixed there for a long time.

VDR already does something to allow ':' in names.
Take a look at 'config.c', cChannel::ToText() and cChannel::Parse():
you can replace the ':' in the name with a '|' and VDR will map
that to the ':' when presenting the user with the channel name.

I'd like to keep the ':' as the config file delimiter, since this
is the "usual" character for this.

Sorry, but it does not work properly. Try the list attached to this
mail...
You better should forget the colons - believe me. Better use tabs or
other characters as delimiters.

Sorry, but it does not work properly. Try the list attached to this
mail...
You better should forget the colons - believe me. Better use tabs or
other characters as delimiters.

Actually is does work correctly. You may have other problems in the
channels.conf you sent.

have you got a link to you kernel sources (linux -> linux-2.2.16)?

if not do:

Starspeeder (www.starspeeder.com) is supposed to start their service end
november.  Their website doesn't have a lot of information, except for the
documentation they send you by email.  They are going to offer data service
at 400kbps max, vpn connection.  Price: around USD20 per month.  Only
drawback, their service is not on the Astra satellites.  I have talked to
them a couple of times on the phone and they seem techically capable (and
support, have tested Linux), but their last attempt to offer such a service
didn't work out...  New satellite, new luck, I hope...

I'm thinking about getting a free DVB card from EON (well, Euro 250
including subscription for a year) and use that on the Starspeeder service
and use the DVB I have for digital radio and TV...

Did You compiled Your-e kernel after instalation of the Linux, and do You have
kernel source instaled on the machine?

Try:
make config
turn on modules support in kernel
make dep;

after that gop back to the driver for the dvb card, and repeat make

it should compile now.

Subject: Video Disk Recorder version 0.68

The new version 0.68 of the Video Disk Recorder project
is now available at 

    http://www.cadsoft.de/people/kls/vdr/download.htm


NOTE: VDR now requires that you use DVB driver version 0.71. You need to load the dvb.o
module with option outstream=0. This is currently necessary because 'vdr' still works with
AV_PES data. It is also important that you apply the patch 'dvb.c.071.diff' (which comes with this
archive) to the driver file 'dvb.c' (this should become obsolete in future driver versions).

The 'current channel' is now handled device specific (in case there is more 
than one DVB card).

Implemented "internationalization" (currently English, German and Slovenian 
OSD texts are available).

Fixed learning keys on the PC keyboard (display oscillated).

Fixed a timing problem with OSD refresh and SVDRP.

Avoiding multiple definitions of the same timer in the "Schedule" menu.

There can now be a configuration file named 'commands.conf' that defines 
commands that can be executed through the "Main" menu's "Commands" option.

The 'Priority' parameter of the timers is now also used to interrupt a low 
priority timer recording if a higher priority timer wants to record.

A timer recording on a DVB card with a CAM module will now be interrupted by a 
timer that needs to use this specific DVB card to record an encrypted channel, 
if the timer currently occupying this DVB card doesn't need the CAM module (and 
thus can continue recording on a different DVB card).

The "Yellow" button in the "What's on now/next?" menus now displays the schedule 
of the current channel from that menu.

All DVB cards in a multi-card system now write their EIT information into the 
same data structure.

If there is more than one DVB card in the system, the non-primary cards are now 
used to periodically scan through the channels in order to keep the EPG info 
up-to-date.

If there is only one DVB card in the system, that card will start scanning after 
5 hours of user inactivity.

Now shifting the 'Subtitle' info into the 'ExtendedDescription' on stations that 
don't send the EIT information correctly (like, e.g., 'VOX').

Implemented a 10 seconds latency when removing files.

Implemented 'Transfer Mode' to display video data from the DVB card that actually 
can receive a certain channel on the primary interface.

Hello,

I am very bad: I keep trying to compil things with gcc 2.96 ;-))

I got:
g++ -g -O2 -Wall -m486 -c -DREMOTE_KBD -I../DVB/driver thread.c
thread.c: In method `bool cThread::Start ()':
thread.c:52: cannot convert `void *(*) (cThread *)' to `void *(*) (void
*)' for argument `3' to `pthread_create (pthread_t *, const

make: *** [thread.o] Error 1

Any idea (other than falling bak to 2.95.2)?

Thanks,

Hi folks,

this is a backward compatible patch against config.c of VDR-0.68 to fix
the problem with ':' in programme labels. You now can use ':' or '|' or

under special circumstances (for instance, the scanner ran fine here

until I killed VDR and reloaded the driver (version 0.71).

I don't know if there is anything I can do in VDR to prevent this

Subject: [linux-dvb] Re: outcommand error with VDR 0.68

I have not installed vdr 0.68 yet, but I'm seeing the same problem
after running vdr 0.67 for a while. The usual symptoms are that vdr
stops responding and log entries like this show up:
   Nov 11 00:34:39 wald5 kernel: outcommand error 1
The last 4 occurences I found in my log were on Oct 24th, 25th and
29th and on Nov 10th and 11th. When I reboot the machine often, this
problem appears to happen less frequently.


Here is an idea: Of course, the problem should be fixed properly.
But in the meantime, could we simply change the driver so it reloads
the firmware every time it detects an outcommand error?


Cheers,

Carsten.

This is done to keep the response to the menu command instantaneous
(and also to give you a chance of restoring a recording that was 
deleted inadvertently - which has already happened to me once ;-)

The actual files are removed once VDR actually needs the disk space
for an ongoing recording. Of course you can remove all directories
named '*.del' yourself, too.

Version 0.68 of VDR scans the channels to collect EPG data.
Apparently the driver/firmware still has a problem when the channels
are switched frequently. To avoid the crashes you can comment out
lines 309 and 310 in 'vdr.c' (which disables the EPG scanning).

Actually, that would leave garbage behind if you have more than
one video disk, as vdr only renames the directories in the primary
video disk. I have written a tiny shell script that gets rid of
*everything* that has been deleted. 

Klaus, I think your idea of not removing but renaming the directory
to keep the response faster is good, but the idea to remove the
stuff during recording is bad, because then it may hurt the recurding.
Would it not be best to remove the files when vdr is absolutely idle
(i.e. when it starts the EPG scan)?

But that gets rid of a feature that you have just implemented
and the driver still hangs - just not as often. Much is lost
and little is gained. If I have time next weekend I'll try to
make the driver mod.

I am going to start building me a vcr replacement using Linux and some
custom hardware.  Since I need to find the hardware for the machine I have
several questions.

1	If I want to record 4 inputs at once, how much processing power
will be needed and ram needed? (guestaments are fine).

2	How much hard drive space is needed for a 2 hour movie in decent
quality?

3	Is IDE good enogh or should I plan on getting SCSI involved?

4	I heard there is a way to record vidio to a normal CD.  How much
can it hold and how good is the quality?

5	Is there a way to handle normal tv stations and line in and out?

Thanks for any help.

Sure, but i suggest an intermediate solution:
guess the required space a minute before the next recording starts,
and delete just enough files _before_ the timer runs.
(if you don't want to delete recordings at all, just buy one of those
80GB Maxtors for 650,- ;-))

Talking about disk-space:
Vdr should display the guessed (free+deleted) diskspace in HH:MM everytime
i install a timer, and maybe somehow in the timers-menu too.
(e.g. timers which will probably have no space could be printed in read, that 
way i have a chance to delete some recording before it's to late)

Have such problems since recently too (using vdr0.67/dvb0.71), nothing 
else changed, think wether the cards get old or the transmitted data signal
quality has changed, or it's just winter coming ?-)

Not really - i suspect, since the OSD has got that fast, people do just switch
more often and faster, revealing a hidden timing problem in the driver.

Yes, that would certainly be better. Actually this is still on my VDR To-Do list...

Fixing the driver would certainly be the best thing to do!

Subject: [linux-dvb] Fazzt 6.0, mrouted, EON


Hi all...

Does anyone have Fazzt 6.0 working on a windows machine thats supplied with mrouted from a linux box?

I have a hauppauge card in my linux server using dvbd and ip masquerading to supply other windows machines on the network with proxy access. I have setup mrouted and see this sort of information when I do tcpdump -i dvb0....

03:27:14.506748 media115-2.europeonline.net > 230.93.3.18: (frag 2472:1480@1480+)
03:27:14.507423 media115-2.europeonline.net > 230.93.3.18: (frag 2472:1480@2960+)
03:27:14.508096 media115-2.europeonline.net > 230.93.3.18: (frag 2472:1480@4440+)
03:27:14.508707 media115-2.europeonline.net > 230.93.3.18: (frag 2472:1480@5920+)
03:27:14.509305 media115-2.europeonline.net > 230.93.3.18: (frag 2472:1480@7400+)
03:27:14.509936 media115-2.europeonline.net > 230.93.3.18: (frag 2472:1480@8880+)

yet I cant see any streams from the europeonline webpage on the windows machine and the fazzt statistics dont show any packets received.

Doing 'cat /proc/net/ip_mr_vif' shows the following...

Interface      BytesIn  PktsIn  BytesOut PktsOut Flags Local    Remote
 0 eth0              0       0   2673197     237 00000 0100A8C0 00000000

Is there something that I am missing with the mrouted config?

My mrouted.conf looks like this..

cache_lifetime 3600
pruning off
dvbauto on
phyint dvb0 altnet 128.0.0.0/1 altnet 125.0.0.0/1
phyint eth0

Any ideas?

Mark.

I want to obtain a more Than 30Mbit/second(QAM64) DATA transmit channel using the DVB-Cable PCI Card,for I want to transmit Packlized(Using MPEG TS or DATA PIPING or IPMPE) DATA infomation(some like HTML,PDF,GIF,...)from frontend(I'm using a Viewgraphics Mediapump Card) to the headend(the linux box).

I want to know if the av7100 can just pass-through the MPEG stream( or DATA) without any decoding work?I just want to receive the full raw mpeg stream(as Ad franse wrote),but not the  avpes:).
would you please email me the  AV7110 specifications?Thank you very much!urgently waiting for you reply...

Ad Franse,
	
	I'm using a DVB-Cable PCI Card,not a DVB-Sat PCI Card.So When I use QAM-64(DVB-Sat must be QPSK,or in other words QAM-4),the bandwidth can be 40M or more.Considering of noise,I just adopt 30M as a limit.
	By any possibility,you may not take notice of  that I'm using the  Viewgraphics Mediapump ASI output Card as server.

	I use the DVB-Cable PCI Card because 1.the netcard is duplex,but the HFC network is simplex;2.I must do some HFC network based job,or I must resign.:-)

	Does the full raw mpeg stream mean the whole 27M bandwidth stream?How can I get all of the raw MPEG Transport Stream from the receiver(VES1893 or VES1820),not partial content packed "AV-PES" from the AV7110?

	Would you like to tell me something about the EON's IPMPE?I'm living in China,and I can't use the service of EON.I just hear about it from the mailinglists.

	Would you please give me a hint on these?urgently for your reply...

The transponder stream downwards (sattelite to card) is about 27M.
On this stream a number of Radio/TV/info channels are combined. For static
video you need a low bandwidth (2MB) for dynamic (sports) 8MB is normal.
If you only want to send data from one end to another why don't you use an
ordinary netword card?

the full mpeg stream as mentioned in the message means the stream from
sattelite to pc-card, with all its tunning information on it (EPG/whats next
etc)

using the DVB-Cable PCI Card,for I want to transmit Packlized(Using MPEG TS
or DATA PIPING or IPMPE) DATA infomation(some like HTML,PDF,GIF,...)from

I wonder if the full raw MPEG stream you said means the data flow directly
from the receiver(VES1820--cable VES1893--sat),but not pass through the DSP
TMS320AV7110.
In these case, I just want to have a 30Mbit per second  transmit rate to
transfer 6M (or less) bitrate "raw" MPEG stream.

Would you please give me a hint on these?urgently for your reply...

Dear Zou,

I am in China also. Our company, Beijing Compunicate Technologies Inc., has
developed products of DVB-C(S) PCI cards as well as frontends equipped with
ASI output.

With our solution, all problems you met could be easily settled. Our system
is now running under MS Windows, and, if necessary, can be ported to Linux
with some efforts. If you are developing such a system for commercial
purpose, maybe we can find possibilities of cooperation.

Best regards,

Hi,

For some time I've been trying to set up DVB-s card to work under
Linux. I am using SuSE 6.4 (kernel 2.2.14), no Xwindows. I have
installed siemens-dvb-0.7 driver (from linuxtv.org). Everything
looks OK:

- in /proc/pci there is the line:

Multimedia controller: Philips SAA7146 (rev 1)

- I have inserted modules with no error messages

- dvb0 interface is up (ifconfig dvb0)

- when I start dvbd I can see that the Sync is 127 (that should
mean good
  reception, isn't it).

I would like to use squid for authentication so I configured it to
use
cache_peer 194.177.32.171 parent 8080 ... login=mylogin:mypassword

I have 2 ethernet (one with private and the other with public
address)
and dvb-s card in the same Linux box. I set up masquerading rules
using
ipchains.

I set up Netscape, on my Windows box, to use squid on port 8080.
When I start a connection from the browser, after some time in the
messages file on my Linux box I have:

squid: TCP connection to 194.177.32.171/8080 failed

I have tried the configuration with one ethernet card too, trying
to
log -in with Cyberlogin but I only got message: Connecting...

Does anyone know where I am making a mistake?

Thank you all for your time,
Natasa

Subject: [linux-dvb] gVideo 0.71 <-> dvdplayer 0.29

If anyone want to see a DVD movie on the screen (along with the AC3
sound), I have an improved solution of Thomas ideea ... 

# Create a named pipe file.
mknod /pipe p (wherever you want) 
# Start gVideo
./gVideo
# Open tuxplayer
Option->tuxplayer
# Set Play file in tuxPlayer
File->Set Play File-> "/pipe"
# Press play
;-)
# Open another terminal window
<xterm>
# Start dvdplayer
./dvdplayer -a 0 -s 0 -c -f /dvd/video_ts/vts_01_1.vob -d /pipe
# Ready !

Until this step, the both "play" and "stop" buttons of tuxplayer should
look pressed. When the stream start, the "stop" button will be showed
unpressed.
Subtitles are missing (for me, at least), but the sound will work fine,
along with the video part.
This solution works for me, I don't know about others.

Anyone have, at the momment, a better solution ?

Thanks for the tip, Thomas !
And I think this solve your demand about a window frame around it !

Regards,

Doru Marin.

Hi all...

Does anyone have streaming video or fazzt working on a windows machine thats supplied with mrouted from a linux box?

I have a hauppauge card in my linux server using dvbd and ip masquerading to supply other windows machines on the network with proxy access. I have setup mrouted and see this sort of information when I do tcpdump -i dvb0.... (whilst trying to view something from the media centre)

yet I cant see any streams from the europeonline webpage on the windows machine and the fazzt statistics dont show any packets received.

Doing 'cat /proc/net/ip_mr_vif' shows the following...

Is there something that I am missing with the mrouted config or dbvd config?

My mrouted.conf looks like this..

Hi all,

I am running mrouted to supply my windows machine with fazzt.
My linux box has 2 IPchains lines for sharing the internet connection.

(linux server  eth0 = 192.168.0.1 with dvb0 = 192.168.4.1)
(windows machine = 192.168.0.2)

/sbin/ipchains -P forward DENY
/sbin/ipchains -A forward -s 192.168.0.0/24 -j MASQ

If I dont comment out the DENY line, I dont get the stream to the windows machine.
I havent had much experience with ipchains, does anyone know a line that I can use so that my stream isnt blocked from the windows machine?

TIA

Mark.

Hi,	

After lurking on this list for a few months, I've finally bought and 
installed a DVB card.  Many thanks to everyone involved in both the driver 
and VDR projects.

My first thoughts for small enhancements to VDR is to export, in some way, 
the EPG data collected in eit.c for use by an external EPG application.

How about exporting the data to text files (one file per event) in a 
directory hierarchy in /video.  For example:

printf(filename,"/video/epg/%i/%i/%i.epg",satelliteid,service,eventid);

I'm happy to implement this  - the VDR patch should only be a few lines - but 
it may best be done by someone completely familiar with the eit.c code.

An external (Perl?) script could be run by cron (or in the Commands menu of 
VDR) to delete the files describing events that have been broadcast.

Best wishes,

Dave.

Subject: [linux-dvb] Progress on teletext?

There have been a few discussions on this list regarding extracting the 
teletext information from DVB broadcasts.

As I understand it, there are 3 ways this can be implemented:

1) Re-insertion (i.e. reading the teletext as normal on your TV) - 
technically possible but not yet implemented in the firmware/driver.

2) Extraction on a PC from the PES packets by adding a filter for the PID 
(which is obviously different for each channel) containing the teletext data. 
This can't be done if the data is being re-inserted.

3) Re-insertion and extracting the re-inserted VBI information from the 
SAA7146 on the DVB card.

Is anyone working on any of the above solutions?  What is your progress?

Best wishes,

Dave.

That was the way I implemented this first time. After that we decided to 
hold the EIT data in memory. But it shouldn't be a big deal to reimplement 
that, I still have the code. Unfortunately, business takes me away from 
VDR/EIT right now and will up to mid of January. So don't expect new 
things before that time.

I believe a viable solution (at least for VDR users) would be to display
the teletext data via the DVB-S card's On Screen Display. I could provide
a font that can be used to display the 40x25 character cells of a teletext
page.

So if somebody would implement retrieving the teletext data I could make
VDR display them.

Were there any problems you found that makes exporting the EPG to text files 
(and then using that data in an external program) a bad idea?  I accept that 
holding the data in memory for VDR's own use is sensible.

I'm happy to implement it (but I am a C, not C++ programmer).

I made a quick hack that implements an "EPG dump" every 10 minutes
into the file /video/epg.data, and also a small Perl script that reads
that file and produces HTML pages showing all the data.

The HTML conversion is very raw, no fancy layout, but it shows how to
parse the epg.data file, which stores the entire EPG data in a very 
simple, easily parseable format.

So, if you want to try that, get the file 

   http://www.cadsoft.de/people/kls/vdr/epgdump.tgz

and apply the two diff's to 'eit.c' and 'eit.h' (this assumes vdr version 0.68).
Then recompile 'vdr', restart it and wait 10 minutes.
After the file/video/epg.data has been generated, execute

   epg2html < /video/epg.data

This writes the HTML pages into the current directory.
Fire up your browser and load the 'index.htm' file.
After that it's plain Web browsing...

Have fun
Klaus

neat feature, works fine for me.
what about output over SVDRP, might be useful for some clients?

That will definitely follow. Just didn't have more time to spend
on VDR this weekend, so I thought I'd just make it available as
it is.

I tried the following simple patch:

--- /usr/local/DVB/driver-0.71+kls/dvb.c        Wed Oct  4 08:48:13 2000
+++ DVB/driver/dvb.c    Fri Nov 24 03:53:35 2000

-                        printk("outcommand error 1\n");
+                        printk("outcommand error 1, re-initializing ARM.\n");
+                        init_arm(dvb); /* XXX ck - revive after a firmware crash. */
                         return -1;
                 }
         }

But it did not work. 
I do see the "outcommand error 1, re-initializing ARM."
message, but not the messages normally issued by init_arm.

Maybe Ralph can help by fixing it properly (we should never
see the "outcommand error 1" in the first place, right?) or
at least by making my kludge work?

Cheers,

Carsten.

Subject: [linux-dvb] cgi2svdrp, program via EPG 


Hi,

vdr development is still running fast - great!
If your are working/plan to work on improving html-EPG, you may want to
contact me:

I worked on programming VDR via html-EPG for some time.
I do have some perl scripts that do useful things even if they are quite
simple. Unfortunatly only often, not always :-((, which is why i didn`t
post them here yet. 

* I used Video-Capture-V4l-0.221 to get EPG via bttv (data for more than
a weekn not all networks though)
* I wrote a script to convert these data to a nice html table
* Every row has a link that programs vdr if selected (via cgi2svdrp)
-> * cgi2svdrp: easy connection to vdr from html-page (send every
command, get answer)

Features in work:
* Learn user profile (checkbox input, word statistics, time slot
statistics)
* Sort EPG conviniently (by category, within each: most interesting at
top)

I include cgi2svdrp since it is not too long. Maybe some perl expert has
a look on it.
It needs Perl Modules CGI and Socket.
Change site dependant constants (name of computer running vdr)
Skript should be placed in /usr/local/httpd/cgi-bin (depends on your
distribution)
Use your browser to get the test page via url:
http://<hostname>/cgi-bin/cgi2svrp
Try chan+ chan- first, since they work good.
Main problem: sometimes the connctions hangs and vdr has to be
restarted.
Minor problem: you have to type enough spaces after a command to
overwrite old stuff

Hi,

I running a box with two cards and upgraded to the newest driver CVS and 
to VDR 0.68.

What happened to me was, when the EITScanner started working to scan the 
cannels in the background, it would switch the channel on the primary 
card. So every couple of seconds my program I'm watching goes away.

Did somebody see this happening, too?

Regards,

Robert

Was there a recording going on on your second card when that happened?
There might still be a problem in that case (I have received a message
about such a situation from somebody else, too, but unfortunately
haven't had the time to investigate it yet).

For the moment you can disable the scanning by removing the call
at the end of the main loop in vdr.c (IIRC lines 309 and 310).

Does this mean that it switched your primary device _although_ you have

<snip>

That is because the DPMS code has moved from libXDPMS into libXext for
XFree86 >4.0.0.

The solution should be
1. in kvdr.cpp removing the lines
extern "C" {
bool DPMSQueryExtension(Display*, int*, int*);
bool DPMSCapable(Display*);
void DPMSInfo(Display*, CARD16*, bool*);
void DPMSEnable(Display*);
void DPMSDisable(Display*);
}

and
2. if it complains about not finding libXdpms during linking, remove that 
-lXdpms simply from the Makefile (in directory kvdr)

(Currently i'am stuck with 2.2.14 kernel and can not switch to XF4.0.1
unless i get ReiserFS working with a 2.4.xx kernel, which i need
for the DRI, so i can not test it).

That is because the DPMS code has moved from libXDPMS into libXext for
XFree86 >4.0.0.

The solution should be
1. in kvdr.cpp removing the lines
extern "C" {
bool DPMSQueryExtension(Display*, int*, int*);
bool DPMSCapable(Display*);
void DPMSInfo(Display*, CARD16*, bool*);
void DPMSEnable(Display*);
void DPMSDisable(Display*);
}

and
2. if it complains about not finding libXdpms during linking, remove that 
-lXdpms simply from the Makefile (in directory kvdr)

(Currently i'am stuck with 2.2.14 kernel and can not switch to XF4.0.1
unless i get ReiserFS working with a 2.4.xx kernel, which i need
for the DRI, so i can not test it).

Subject: [linux-dvb] Help with receiving data on dvb0 

After trying get get my DVB card (galaxis) 
working with dvbd and the siemens driver,
i managed to receive data on my dvb card. 

I use a dailup to BySky (satellite provider connected to EON)
for upstream over ippp0 and receive the data on dvb0 ..So there's no use 
for proxy login.

I am able to make an ftp connection to a ftp site
if I use it's IP number (not the name) , and I can get files
with mget for example. They all come through perfectly... 

BUT ... 1) I am not able to use the name ( ftp my.ftpsite.com ) 
        2) I am not able to ping ( ping 208.56.217.70  and  ping
www.ttg-edam.nl 
           both don't work )
        3. I am not able to browse with Netscape for example

my nameservers in resolv.conf are correct. 

Does anybody know what I should look for to correct this problem ? 

If more info is needed, I will post it. ( didn't know what to post now ) 


thanks in advance 
R. van Leeuwen
