DVD plugin - sound jerky??
by Simon Baxter 31 Jan '07

31 Jan '07

I've had this problem for ages and never found any resolution to it as it's really only a problem with DVDs that have a lot of chapters. When it get towards the end of a chapter, the sound disappears. The video is still fine, but the sound stops. Are there any debugs I can run to get more info out of dvd-plugin?

The only solution which works reliable is to disallow shutdown when a recording is active. Bye Helmut

Recordings sorting
by Chris Jones 14 Nov '06

14 Nov '06

Hi Inspired by the channel sorting thread, I'm wondering if there's any way to have vdr sort recordings by date rather than name? I would think that would be a more obvious default, but even if not, I would like to use it :) Cheers, -- Chris Jones cmsj(a)tenshu.net www.tenshu.net

Hi Klaus I read yesterday a part of your answer mail to a question of vdr user: > In VDR version 1.4 the CA_PMT records (that's the data a CAM needs in > order to know which PIDs it shall decrypt) are sent to all CAMs in > one CI device. I know that this can be a problem, and that's why I'm > going to address this first thing in the upcoming 1.5 developer > version. I like to know if you have create a to-do-list for new developper release... thanks for your work on vdr bye kikko77

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.

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.

Returning due to modification...
by CR 01 Oct '06

01 Oct '06

Hi, I notice when I change channels, video/audio will start and then it will pause and resume, in the syslog I often see "returning due to modification of channel " when it happens. In the setup options, I have turned off updating of any channels, so why does this occur? Is there anyway to avoid it/disable it? Thanks, CR.
