xmltv2vdr - where's the data?
by Geoff Horn 26 May '08

26 May '08

I've got xmltv2vdr 1.7 almost working on my Ubuntu Hardy box and it even seems to be transferring the data. The problem is that it never ends up in the epg. The file epg.data only ever contains the now/next data that it acquired from the tv transmissions. During the xmltv2vdr update I get lines like this: 110 event(s) sent for BBC FOUR But where did it go? Any hints gratefully accepted

DVB-card or vdr stops receiving?
by Markku Tavasti 26 May '08

26 May '08

I have newly istalled Ubuntu 8.04 with ubuntu packaged vdr 1.6.0. Output is with libxineoutput-plugin. System works fine, but after some time (many hours, don't know how many) system stops receiving. Setting 'Min. User inactivity' is set to zero, so system won't say anything about shutting down. It just stops receiving, and selcting channel doesn't show any program. If there is some timer for recording, on timer system does restart, and most likely reloads DVB card drivers, and everything works. Also doing restart from menu salvages system. System has two DVB cards, one for DVB-C (Terratec Cynergy 1200C) (not in use now, but used in final destination) and one DVB-T (Technisat SkyStar2) for testing in my place. Any idea what might be reason for this? How to solve problem? -- M. Tavasti / tavasti(a)tavastisolutions.com / +358-40-5078254

VDR-xine + ffmpeg? (h.264 problems)
by Jelle De Loecker 25 May '08

25 May '08

Hello everyone, I followed a german tutorial on how to install VDR with xine. It had some patches for better h.264 playback, but when I tune to BBC HD, it's still painfully slow, and the image is quite bad, too! I compiled xine with the ffmpeg option (external ffmpeg or something) but I never installed ffmpeg nor are there any instructions on how to do so. I mean, I could compile ffmpeg eventually, I just need to know if I need to apply any more patches or so ... I installed ffmpeg from the repository, but it doesn't seem to have any effect. Thank you for your time, Jelle De Loecker

Xine-lib error
by Jelle De Loecker 25 May '08

25 May '08

Hey all, Because I've been trying to get h.264 to work today, I tried to make ffmpeg myself, and now I'm unable to compile xine-lib! I completely removed my ffmpeg installation and all, it still won't work. The problem must be with libpostproc or something, but I have those files: # ./autogen.sh --with-external-ffmpeg --disable-dxr3 && make && make install && ldconfig ... ipts -Wmissing-declarations

reelchannelscan 0.6.1 patch for vdr-1.7.0 + h264
by Vangelis Nonas 25 May '08

25 May '08

I have created a patch for reelchannelscan 0.6.1 and vdr-1.7.0. I have substituted cDevice::Provides_S2 with true (I have a dvb-S2 card). It is not the correct way to do it but I did not know what to do.... I have changed some constants like PSK8, FEC_2_3, etc with other constants I found in vdr that usually start with DVBFE. I hope it is correct. The plugin seems to work OK with DVB-S stations. When you ask it to scan for HDTV it only returns DVB-S, not DVB-S2. I would appreciate your help, in order to make this plugin work properly. The attachment is compressed with bzip2. Regards Vagelis

no channel update on vdr 1.7.0
by spe＠sdmonv.com 24 May '08

24 May '08

Thanks for all the answers regarding my questions. So far I can understand my hardware is not adapted to what I want to do. I will proceed to the following : - Install 2 twin lnb's - Install 2 disecq switches. - Is diseqc switch 1 ok ? or do i need diseqc 2.0 As explain I have 1 FF card and one S2-3200. On one of my dishes I also have a rotor. - Can I still use it ? Is there already a valid rotor plugin for 1.7.0 ? My target is to achieve to be able to look on one TV on the output of the FF card, and on a other TV on a other broadcasting on a vdr-to-vdr client. I assume thats possible with that configuration ? Can I record a third broadcasting ? (concurrent recording) Can I look at a third broadcasting on a second vdr-to-vdr or http client ? Even if I don't need HD, do I need to use 1.7.0 version with my S2-3200 ? thanks, sp

DVB API Wrapper for VDR 1.7.0
by lucian orasanu 23 May '08

23 May '08

Hy Look at reel vdr comunity, they implement more API in fronten.h to make use of their plugins and vdr. Use vdr-1.6.0 for old API is nothing new to vdr-1.7.0 beside h264 and multiproto, and you think 150 is more, I think not.

DVB API Wrapper for VDR 1.7.0
by Udo Richter 22 May '08

22 May '08

Hi list, There's a new version of the DVB API wrapper patch. The new version is compatible to the current multiproto drivers, and wraps the DVBFE_SET_DELSYS call. The new version is based on the vdr-1.7.0-multiproto-update.diff, and probably works also with the vdr-1.7.0-h264-....diff.bz2 patch, both from Reinhard Nissl. Chances are good that the patch will work with next VDR-1.7.1 too. The new version also introduces a new runtime detection feature: By default, builds will detect at runtime whether the driver supports multiproto, and will either use native multiproto drivers or the old API wrapper. Behavior can be configured in Make.config: DEFINES += -DDVB_MULTIPROTO_RUNTIME=1 enables the runtime detection (default) DEFINES += -DDVB_MULTIPROTO_RUNTIME=0 disables the runtime detection DEFINES += -DDVB_MULTIPROTO_WRAPPER=1 enables the API wrapper (default on old DVB headers and if runtime detection is enabled) DEFINES += -DDVB_MULTIPROTO_WRAPPER=0 disables wrapper and runtime detection. Can be used to compile multiproto without proper DVB headers. (default on new DVB headers and runtime detection disabled) Much of it is not completely tested, so reports are welcome. Get it: http://www.udo-richter.de/vdr/patches.en.html#dvb-api-wrapper http://www.udo-richter.de/vdr/patches.html#dvb-api-wrapper Cheers, Udo _______________________________________________ vdr mailing list vdr(a)linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
