vdr-1.4.3 + softdevice no video out!
by Paul ZHU 09 Oct '06

09 Oct '06

hello, I have a Twinhan1025 card and after I loaded related bttv module, use the following two command, I can watch the specific channel via xine. ------------------- [root@pc1 ~]$./szap -l 11300 -c /home/zhuhx/channels.conf "JCTV" -r [root@pc1 ~]$xine stdin://mpeg2</dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr0 [zhuhx@pc1 ~]$ cat /home/zhuhx/channels.conf JCTV:12581:h:S146.0E:25600:165:100:0:0:16:0:0:0 TBN:12581:h:S146.0E:25600:166:104:0:0:17:0:0:0 [zhuhx@pc1 ~]$ ------------------- but, when I try to use vdr-1.4.3 and softdevice-0.2.3,the vdr comes out with OSD, but no TV program comes out. Is it because I use the wrong command or the /video/channels.conf format is wrong? (I use "szap -o vdr" , see following info.)? or I didn't press the right key to let vdr lock and output video? what I do is the following: 1.use "scan" to generate channels.conf and cp it to /video, which has two entries for 2 TV channel. -------------------------------------------------------------- [root@pc1 dvb-s]# pwd /home/zhuhx/linux-dvb/linuxtv-dvb-apps-1.1.0/util/scan/dvb-s [root@pc1 dvb-s]# ls Agials146E Hispasat-30.0W PAS-43.0W Telecom2-8.0W Thor-1.0W Astra-19.2E Hotbird-13.0E Sirius-5.0E Telstar12-15.0W Turksat-42.0E [root@pc1 dvb-s]# cat Agials146E S 12301000 H 25600000 5/6 S 12541000 H 25600000 5/6 S 12581000 H 25600000 5/6 S 12661000 H 25600000 5/6 [root@pc1 dvb-s]# ---------------------------------------------------- [root@pc1 scan]# ./scan -l 11300 -x 0 -o vdr -p dvb-s/Agials146E >/root/channels2.conf scanning dvb-s/Agials146E using '/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0' and '/dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0' initial transponder 12301000 H 25600000 5 initial transponder 12541000 H 25600000 5 initial transponder 12581000 H 25600000 5 initial transponder 12661000 H 25600000 5 ................ 0x0000 0x01bb: pmt_pid 0x0000 443 -- Pinball (running, scrambled) Network Name 'PMSI Network (NagraVision)' WARNING: filter timeout pid 0x0548 dumping lists (128 services) Done.

vdr to 8psk
by V Live 08 Oct '06

08 Oct '06

Goodmorning, I would like to include this updated patch to vdr-1.4.3 sources. This patch along with an v4l-dvb hg tree souce patch will allow one to receive both qpsk and 8psk broadcasts where permitting. The vdr source patch assumes that you are using the "genpix-usb-module", the v4l-dvb current hg tree drivers with the enclosed patch and that you made a dir @ /usr/src/v4l/v4l-dvb (edited in the "Make.config" file) Photo of the genpix-usb-module: http://www.geocities.com/vlivecd/genpix-usb-module.JPG Here is a sample channels.conf for sat110w http://www.geocities.com/vlivecd/vdr-channels-8psk.txt vdr-1.4.3-8psk-source patch: http://www.geocities.com/vlivecd/vdr-1.4.3-8psk.diff.zip v4l-dvb hg tree patch: http://www.geocities.com/vlivecd/gp8psk-dvbs2-100406.obj.zip --------------------------------- Get your email and more, right on the new Yahoo.com

[ANNOUNCE] VDR maintenance patch 1.4.3-1
by Klaus Schmidinger 08 Oct '06

08 Oct '06

VDR maintenance patch 1.4.3-1 is now available at ftp://ftp.cadsoft.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-1.4.3-1.diff This is a 'diff' against version 1.4.3. Small fixes to the officially released VDR versions will be first made available as "maintenance patches" in the Developer directory, so that they can be reviewed and tested before a new official release is published. So please apply the above patch and report whether it works (or if it causes any new problems). The changes since version 1.4.3: - The function cThread::Cancel() now only sets 'running' to false and does not actually kill the thread if the special value -1 is given (suggested by Udo Richter) - Changed the I18nNormalizeLanguageCode() check to also allow blanks (and all other printable characters) in the language codes (thanks to Boguslaw Juza for reporting that there are stations that use blanks in these codes). Blanks are replaced with underlines, so that all parts of VDR that rely on language codes to be one word (without blanks) work as expected. - Now clearing an event's Title, ShortText and Description if there is no ShortEventDescriptor or ExtendedEventDescriptor, respectively (thanks to Boguslaw Juza for reporting that events without an ExtendedEventDescriptor may get duplicate information in their ShortText through the EPG bugfixes in case they are received again). - Fixed handling video directory updates in case an other process has touched the .update file after the last NeedsUpdate() check (thanks to Petri Hintukainen). - Fixed handling language codes and descriptions of recorded audio tracks on channels with multiple tracks where not all of them appear in the event data (reported by Boguslaw Juza). Have fun! Klaus

[PATCH] xineliboutput: keyboard read fix
by Olaf Titz 08 Oct '06

08 Oct '06

This trivial patch (for xineliboutput-1.0.0p5) fixes the situation with a remote frontend where stdin is not connected to a keyboard. The keyboard thread would not recognize an EOF condition (e.g. /dev/null) and spin at 100% CPU. (Same with pressing Ctrl-D I guess.) Perhaps the whole thing should just use -1 for EOF but that would need a fix in several places.

Disable Nexus-T card
by Lauri Tischler 08 Oct '06

08 Oct '06

Need to make another VDR-box, just for DVB-T I have one NEXUS-T FF board where the tuner is very bad. I want to use that as outputcard and then two NOVA-T's as tuners. How do I disable the use of NEXUS as tuner ?

Bug in audio track replaing
by Boguslaw Juza 08 Oct '06

08 Oct '06

Hi! I have found small bug: When I have record channel witch multiple audio track - f.e. tracks witch language codes: A1, A2, A3, A4, and then I replay it, when I'm choosing audio track, I have to choose: POL, A1, A2, A3. POL plays A1 track, A1 plays A2 track etc... PL (polish) is my preffered language in EPG menu, but there was no PL-track in this channel. Boguslaw Juza

auto ratio change dont work with 1.4.2
by Lauri Tischler 08 Oct '06

08 Oct '06

upgraded from 1.3.36 to 1.4.2, everything works, except automatic setting of tv between 4:3 and 16:9 modes. Works just fine with 1.3.36. Is 1.4.x eating the WSS or what. Connection to tv is via composite video, no messing with voltages or pin 8 or whatever. Drivers are same in both cases.

LanguageCode
by Boguslaw Juza 07 Oct '06

07 Oct '06

Hi! There are channels (mostly audio-only) witch spaces in LanguageCode. For example: XtraMusicPop:11278:v:S13.0E:27500:0:611=A 1,612=A 2,613=A 3,614=A 4,615=A 5,616=A 6,617=A 7,618=A 8,619=A 9,620=A10:0:100:13042:318:400:0 so I ask for little patch in i18n.c:I18nNormalizeLanguageCode: - if (Code[0] && !isalnum(Code[0]) || Code[1] && !isalnum(Code[1]) ... + if ( (Code[0] && !(isalnum(Code[0]) || Code[0]==' ')) || + (Code[1] && !(isalnum(Code[1]) || Code[1]==' ')) || + (Code[2] && !(isalnum(Code[2]) || Code[2]==' ')) ) { Boguslaw Juza
