NIT handling change in 1.4.3-4
by Anssi Hannula 21 Apr '07

21 Apr '07

NIT handling was changed in 1.4.3-4 by adding an additional check if we're actually receiving this transponder. See the current code: > for (cChannel *Channel = Channels.First(); Channel; Channel = Channels.Next(Channel)) { > if (!Channel->GroupSep() && Channel->Source() == Source && Channel->Nid() == ts.getOriginalNetworkId() && Channel->Tid() == ts.getTransportStreamId()) { > if (Setup.UpdateChannels >= 5) { > if (ISTRANSPONDER(Frequency / 1000, Transponder())) { // only modify channels if we're actually receiving this transponder The above check was added. However, the variable 'Frequency' may not always be the current transponder frequency. The current transponder could also be in the Frequencies[] array. This causes the channel update to be always disabled. Below we search the array if the transponder of the 'Channel' is there: > if (!ISTRANSPONDER(Frequency / 1000, Channel->Transponder())) { > for (int n = 0; n < NumFrequencies; n++) { > if (ISTRANSPONDER(Frequencies[n] / 1000, Channel->Transponder())) { > Frequency = Frequencies[n]; > break; > } > } > } Maybe the new check should be moved here, so that it uses the new correct 'Frequency' that was found from Frequencies[] in the loop above? > Channel->SetCableTransponderData(Source, Frequency, Modulation, SymbolRate, CodeRate); > } > } > found = true; > } > } -- Anssi Hannula

Full Screen button for vdr-sxfe
by Rob Davis 03 Apr '07

03 Apr '07

Any way of getting a full screen / windows toggle button for vdr-sxfe (xineliboutput)? I am assuming this is a question for more than just xineliboutput.. What I'd like is a lirc/keyboard command (full screen) which will toggle the behaviour. I am happy to retro edit it into remote.conf. Maybe: LIRC.FScreen LIRCCOMMAND XkeySym.FScreen f for instance.. -- Latest news on http://www.streetcredo.org.uk/rob Rob Davis

1.5.x ShutDown rewrite
by ShorTie 01 Apr '07

I understand the need for a rewrite of the shutdown sequence for vdr when using timers and stuff. But I was wondering if the good old crtl/c was going to make it’s way back in? -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.

vdr-xineliboutput a small patch
by Matti Horila 31 Mar '07

31 Mar '07

Hi all. I had a small problem with xineliboutput, i didn't find a way to start playing a file with mediaplayer from the beginning if the file had been earlier watched till the end. Media player always started from end of file. So i made a small patch, which saves resume position to 0 seconds if there was less than 10 seconds till the end of file.

Does anyone know what vendor makes the reelbox "extension HD" kit? It's a mini-pci card with hdmi and yuv output and apparently does 1080i hardware decoding of mpeg2/4 -- Torgeir Veimo torgeir(a)pobox.com

plugin loading
by e9hack 28 Mar '07

28 Mar '07

Hi, I've selected some plugins for loading. It exist ca. 100 plugins in the vdr lib directory. Does vdr load only the selected plugins or all plugins? It exist one plugin with a missing import symbol in the lib directory. This plugin is not selected for loading. The vdr does only load two plugins instead of the select amount and I see an error message from a buggy plugin: Mar 26 00:24:28 very-new-darkstar vdr: [27019] ERROR: /usr/lib/vdr/libvdr-image.so.1.4.5: undefined symbol: av_free Mar 26 00:24:28 very-new-darkstar vdr: [27027] VDR version 1.4.6 started Mar 26 00:24:28 very-new-darkstar vdr: [27027] loading plugin: /usr/lib/vdr/libvdr-reelchannelscan.so.1.4.5 Mar 26 00:24:28 very-new-darkstar vdr: [27027] loading plugin: /usr/lib/vdr/libvdr-atmo.so.1.4.5 Mar 26 00:24:28 very-new-darkstar vdr: [27027] loading /etc/vdr/setup.conf ...

VDRAdmin-AM with UTF-8 support?
by Harald Milz 28 Mar '07

28 Mar '07

Hi, is anyone working on a UTF-8 version of VDRadmin-AM? I'm using vdr with the UTF8 patch (de and ru) and need to always select UTF8 manually in the browser to avoid seeing the Ã stuff. Looking at the html files in template/default/, I see everything is hardcoded in iso-8859-1, but that should be a configuration option. Setting LANG=de_DE.utf8 doesn't help, it is silently ignored. Anyone? THX. -- "No, `Eureka' is Greek for `This bath is too hot.'" -- Dr. Who

kaffeine: Invalid section length or timeout
by Torgeir Veimo 27 Mar '07

27 Mar '07

I'm having tuning problems with my nova-t 500 and kaffeine. While doing tuning with AUTO and both positive and negative offsets checked, kaffeine reports "Invalid section length or timeout". I'm wondering what that means? Kaffeine doesn't report any channels even though it locks on the signal. I'm trying to tune to BBC at 505833 khz (the official frequency), but for some reason, i'm receiving at 506000 instead. I'm wondering if this is what might be causing the errors, since there might be a discrepancy between what frequency kaffeine locks on and the transponder frequency data? Here's some log output from kaffeine; Using DVB device 0:0 "DiBcom 3000MC/P" tuning DVB-T to 505833000 Hz <-- official frequency, but no lock inv:2 bw:0 fecH:9 fecL:9 mod:6 tm:2 gi:4 hier:4 ...............
