Hi, the fuse in my multiswitch blew yesterday, consequently VDR couldn't work properly. Looking at the messages, we see that it couldn't record: Oct 16 19:16:41 localhost vdr[2585]: ERROR: device 2 has no lock, can't attach receiver! Oct 16 19:16:41 localhost vdr[2585]: buffer stats: 0 (0%) used Oct 16 19:16:42 localhost vdr[2585]: timer 4 (1 1900-2015 'Ronnie Barker A Life in Comedy') stop Oct 16 19:16:42 localhost vdr[2585]: switching device 2 to channel 1 So the message tells me the device couldn't get a lock. Now if I try live tv: Oct 16 19:19:46 localhost vdr[2899]: switching to channel 1 Oct 16 19:19:57 localhost vdr[2899]: switching to channel 7 Oct 16 19:20:05 localhost vdr[2899]: switching to channel 8 Oct 16 19:20:10 localhost vdr[2899]: switching to channel 9 Oct 16 19:20:12 localhost vdr[2899]: switching to channel 10 This didn't work either, just wondering why the same message is not issued? I assume that the device couldn't get a lock here either? Just nitpicking. Cheers Brian

[ANNOUNCE] vdr-actuator-1.0.1 plugin
by Luca Olivetti 30 Oct '05

30 Oct '05

Hello, I'm releasing a version 1.0.1 of the "actuator" plugin available at http://www.ventoso.org/luca/vdr/ This plugin controls a linear actuator (or an horizon to horizon one) through the parallel port with a simple circuit. CHANGES: - Simplified cPosTracker (start the thread only when needed so get rid of the cCondWait) - Avoid tracking if the target hasn't changed after switching channels - Added svdrp support for querying the positioner status - return osContinue to avoid auto closing by main vdr loop - use MAXLANGCODE2 Bye -- - Yo también quiero una Europa libre de Patentes de Software - - I want a Software Patents Free Europe too! And you? - --------------------------------------------------------------- EuropeSwPatentFree - http://EuropeSwPatentFree.hispalinux.es

Timers and clock changes
by Darren Salt 30 Oct '05

30 Oct '05

Something to be aware of if you're setting timers which cover the two hours between 1am and 2am tomorrow... There's a programme which starts at 1.10am BST and finishes at 1.10am GMT. Trying to set a timer for it works (standard schedule list) *but* the timer is only for 12 minutes, not 1h 12m. (Were it a repeating timer, would it be triggered twice, one hour apart?) There's another programme which starts at 1.10am GMT and finishes at 2am GMT. This appears to be unrecordable without waiting until after the changeover, at least when using a one-shot timer... BTW, I should point out that I'm not actually planning to record these. :-) -- | Darren Salt | d youmustbejoking,demon,co,uk | nr. Ashington, | Debian, | s zap,tartarus,org | Northumberland | RISC OS | @ | Toon Army | <URL:http://www.youmustbejoking.demon.co.uk/> (PGP 2.6, GPG keys) I have an effective procedure; it's just that it seems to have no effect.

no epg data for unknown NID [patch]
by Gregory Dudek 29 Oct '05

29 Oct '05

I believe that vdr 1.3.34 fails to accept EPG data if the NID field of channels.conf is zero. For me, scan gets a lot of NID 0's, so this is a big problem (in fact, I am more interested in the EPG that the actual programs, for a project I am working on). I believe the following patch allows vdr to match a channel even if it has NID 0. I am not sure if the corrected NID gets saved back to channels.conf with this patch, as for me it doesn't matter. It allows GetByChannelID to match without a NID, and tries this in eit.c if the channel match fails. I am a bit new to vdr,so I hope posting this here is OK and it gets to the right person/people. diff -x PLUGINS -X nopatch -NBbaur vdr-1.3.34/channels.c vdr-eitfix/ channels.c --- vdr-1.3.34/channels.c Sun Sep 11 10:22:24 2005 +++ vdr-eitfix/channels.c Sun Oct 23 12:28:21 2005 @@ -347,7 +349,7 @@ nid = Nid; tid = Tid; sid = Sid; - rid = Rid; + if (Rid!=0) rid = Rid; // if we knew the rid, don't lose track of it if (Number()) Channels.HashChannel(this); } @@ -950,7 +952,7 @@ return NULL; } -cChannel *cChannels::GetByChannelID(tChannelID ChannelID, bool TryWithoutRid, bool TryWithoutPolarization) +cChannel *cChannels::GetByChannelID(tChannelID ChannelID, bool TryWithoutRid, bool TryWithoutPolarization, bool TryWithoutNid) { int sid = ChannelID.Sid(); cList<cHashObject> *list = channelsHashSid.GetList(sid); @@ -965,6 +967,14 @@ for (cHashObject *hobj = list->First(); hobj; hobj = list- >Next(hobj)) { cChannel *channel = (cChannel *)hobj->Object(); if (channel->Sid() == sid && channel->GetChannelID ().ClrRid() == ChannelID) + return channel; + } + } + if (TryWithoutNid) { + ChannelID.ClrNid(); + for (cHashObject *hobj = list->First(); hobj; hobj = list- >Next(hobj)) { + cChannel *channel = (cChannel *)hobj->Object(); + if (channel->Sid() == sid && channel->GetChannelID ().ClrNid() == ChannelID) return channel; } } diff -x PLUGINS -X nopatch -NBbaur vdr-1.3.34/channels.h vdr-eitfix/ channels.h --- vdr-1.3.34/channels.h Sat Sep 17 05:59:14 2005 +++ vdr-eitfix/channels.h Sun Oct 23 12:25:51 2005 @@ -68,9 +84,10 @@ public: tChannelID(void) { source = nid = tid = sid = rid = 0; } tChannelID(int Source, int Nid, int Tid, int Sid, int Rid = 0) { source = Source; nid = Nid; tid = Tid; sid = Sid; rid = Rid; } - bool operator== (const tChannelID &arg) const { return source == arg.source && nid == arg.nid && tid == arg.tid && sid == arg.sid && rid == arg.rid; } + bool operator== (const tChannelID &arg) const { return source == arg.source && nid == arg.nid && tid == arg.tid && sid == arg.sid ;} // && rid == arg.rid; } bool Valid(void) const { return (nid || tid) && sid; } // rid is optional and source may be 0//XXX source may not be 0??? tChannelID &ClrRid(void) { rid = 0; return *this; } + tChannelID &ClrNid(void) { nid = 0; return *this; } tChannelID &ClrPolarization(void); int Source(void) { return source; } int Nid(void) { return nid; } @@ -223,7 +240,7 @@ void ReNumber(void); // Recalculate 'number' based on channel type cChannel *GetByNumber(int Number, int SkipGap = 0); cChannel *GetByServiceID(int Source, int Transponder, unsigned short ServiceID); - cChannel *GetByChannelID(tChannelID ChannelID, bool TryWithoutRid = false, bool TryWithoutPolarization = false); + cChannel *GetByChannelID(tChannelID ChannelID, bool TryWithoutRid = false, bool TryWithoutPolarization = false, bool TryWithoutNid = false); int BeingEdited(void) { return beingEdited; } void IncBeingEdited(void) { beingEdited++; } void DecBeingEdited(void) { beingEdited--; } diff -x PLUGINS -X nopatch -NBbaur vdr-1.3.34/eit.c vdr-eitfix/eit.c --- vdr-1.3.34/eit.c Fri Oct 14 20:57:38 2005 +++ vdr-eitfix/eit.c Sun Oct 23 12:28:03 2005 @@ -28,13 +29,28 @@ cEIT::cEIT(cSchedules *Schedules, int Source, u_char Tid, const u_char *Data) :SI::EIT(Data, false) { + int showing=0; + if (!CheckCRCAndParse()) return; tChannelID channelID(Source, getOriginalNetworkId(), getTransportStreamId(), getServiceId()); cChannel *channel = Channels.GetByChannelID(channelID, true); - if (!channel) - return; // only collect data for known channels + if (!channel) { + + // We have stumbled upon eit data for a channel we didn't know about. + channel = Channels.GetByChannelID(channelID, true, true, true); // dude5 NID fix + if (!channel) return; // only collect data for known channels + // found it, but we were using the unknwon NID of zero.

vdr-sudoku-0.1.0
by Thomas Günther 28 Oct '05

28 Oct '05

Hi! The first version of the 'Sudoku' plugin is ready. This plugin generates Number Place puzzles, so called Sudokus, and let you solve it. A Sudoku puzzle consists of 9 x 9 cells subdivided into 9 regions with 3 x 3 cells. The rules are simple. There have to be the numbers from 1 to 9 in every row, column and region. In the beginning some numbers are given. These cells are painted with cyan background color. The aim of the puzzle is to find the missing numbers. There is only one solution of a Sudoku puzzle. See the project's homepage for details: http://www.toms-cafe.de/vdr/sudoku Download: http://toms-cafe.de/vdr/sudoku/vdr-sudoku-0.1.0.tgz Tom

RE: [vdr] sc

While I am not a lawyer I happen to be in the middle of a patent protection "issue". At least in the jurisdictions I know about, and I think it is the same everywhere in this regard, using patented methods at home for personal use is NOT a problem. You are allowed to use a patented technology at home for your own use as far as I know and thus they are not relevant to users of vdr. It is commercial use that patents deal with. On the other hand... Decryption technologies have been protected in different countries with EXTRA laws precisely because the normal existing laws did not stop people from using their own data once they paid for it. As far as I know, the US DMCA (Digital Millennium Copyright Act) is the only really strong law of this kind that is current (NOW) in force. I believe it prohibits you from decrypting and decoding any information the manufacturer did not want to to decode, regardless of how easy this is. I believe the related EU Copyright Directive (EUCD) has not been fully approved yet, due to concerns from some member states. I might be wrong though, as I have not heard anything about it for a while. It is also a very restrictive law based on pressure from WIPO. This is a complicated law and I do not pretend to be an expert on it, but I have heard enough informed opinion to know it is very restrictive and, in my opinion, if you take it literally is it is a severe limit on personal freedom in the interest of corporate profit. I believe it's limitations include decoding (i.e. playing) a DVD that you may have purchased yourself on a device that does not have the licensed software (for example a linux box). It was recently used in a (US) court case to stop a company from enabling Lexmark printers to use 3rd part ink containers since it involved opening the boxes. I think it is possible that if you modified the firmware in your computer and/or video card, you are in violation (if you live in the USA). Note that while the DMCA is very restrictive, not that many people have been taken to court under it, as far as I know.
