[ANNOUNCE] vdrblues-0.1
by Jani Vaarala 11 Sep '06

11 Sep '06

Hi. I wrote some very simple scripts to allow your S60 mobile phone to be used as a remote controller to VDR (via VDR remote TCP interface). I tried to keep it as simple as possible (server and client combined is 158 lines of python) so that you can easily tweak it to your needs. Requirements: - VDR with remote plugin - python + pybluez (linux) - PyS60 (for the device) If interested, get it from: http://www.pygmyprojects.com --jani; --------------------------------- Talk is cheap. Use Yahoo! Messenger to make PC-to-Phone calls. Great rates starting at 1¢/min.

cStatus::ChannelSwitch(...) Problem
by Jörg Wendel 10 Sep '06

10 Sep '06

Hi, i use the the function "cStatus::ChannelSwitch(const cDevice *Device, int ChannelNumber) {}" in a plugin, now i wonder that it is called every 21 seconds! This begin 60 minutes after starting the VDR. Is this the the normal behavior? How i can detect wat's the matter, a 'automatic' channel switch or a 'normal' switch triggert by the user? vdr.log: Sep 10 08:57:52 linvdr vdr: [5123] switching to channel 10 Sep 10 08:57:52 linvdr

[ANNOUNCE] VDR maintenance patch 1.4.2-2
by Klaus Schmidinger 10 Sep '06

10 Sep '06

VDR maintenance patch 1.4.2-2 is now available at ftp://ftp.cadsoft.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-1.4.2-2.diff This is a 'diff' against version 1.4.2-1 (which is the official version 1.4.2, patched with ftp://ftp.cadsoft.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-1.4.2-1.diff). 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). This is a very small patch and most of it has already been posted and discussed on the VDR mailing list, so I'm just providing it as an official patch for final review. If nothing is wrong with it I would like to release VDR version 1.4.3 tomorrow. This version requires plugins to be recompiled. The changes since version 1.4.2-1: - Fixed cTimer::operator=() in case a cTimer variable is assigned to itself (thanks to Alexander Rieger). - Implemented a copy constructor for cTimer (thanks to Udo Richter for reporting that an assignment in svdrp.c didn't use the cTimer::operator=()). Have fun! Klaus

Feature Request: MySQL interface for EPG/configuration
by Rene Bartsch 09 Sep '06

09 Sep '06

Hi, if the configuration (channels, transponders, options) and EPG would be stored in a MySQL-DB other applications could easily use that data instead of doing expensive scans of the files again and again. Maybe there could be a compiler switch or even a command-line option for VDR to switch between file and SQL mode. Renne

libmad compile issue with mplayer plugins 0.9.15pre14 / VDR 1.4.2
by Philippe Gramoullé 08 Sep '06

08 Sep '06

Hello, I'm currently trying to upgrade from vdr-1.3.47 & plugins to 1.4.2(with latest fixes) & plugins. The VDR part is ok, it builds and runs fine. The plugin i use the most is mplayer. I tried to install the latest version 0.9.15pre14 for VDR 1.4.0+ I have the following error (i tried with older mp3 plugins versions as well) /usr/src/vdr-1.4.2# make plugins [snap] Plugin mp3: make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/vdr-1.4.2/PLUGINS/src/mp3-0.9.15pre14' g++ -march=pentium3 -O3 -c -D_GNU_SOURCE -DAPIVERSNUM=10402 -DHAVE_SNDFILE -DHAVE_VORBISFILE -I../../../include mp3.c /usr/include/mad.h:552: error: expected unqualified-id before 'unsigned' /usr/include/mad.h:552: error: abstract declarator 'const unsigned char*' used as declaration /usr/include/mad.h:552: error: expected ';' before 'unsigned' make[1]: *** [mp3.o] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/vdr-1.4.2/PLUGINS/src/mp3-0.9.15pre14' Any idea ? I'm using gcc/g++ 4.1 ( Debian x86 unstable with latest packages) Thanks, Philippe

[ANNOUNCE] vdr-span-0.0.3
by Christian Leuschen 08 Sep '06

08 Sep '06

Hi, I uploaded the third version of the SpAn-plugin. It can be found at http://lcr.vdr-developer.org/ Changelog: 2006-09-08: Version 0.0.3 - Bars falling completely now when pausing the replay - Updated the patches for mp3ng* 2006-09-07: Version 0.0.2 - Implemented bar peaks (used in the graphlcd-patch and mp3ng). - Therefore a change in the protocol "Span-GetBarHeights-v1.0" was neccessary, please adopt the changes. In this early stage the protocol version number is not increased. - Slightly modified the management of clients and providers (for better performance). - Modified the algorithm to calculate the bar heights and introduced some "default- optimizations" (for 16/20/32 bands) to make the spectrum look "more intuitive". - Introduced the MainMenuAction that displays service-providers and their status. - Introduced two new service protocols to be able to display service-providers and their status: "Span-ProviderCheck-v1.0" and "Span-ClientCheck-v1.0" All plugins (pcm-providers- and visualization-client-plugins) should implement them in order to inform the user about the capabilities of each plugin. Have a look at the README to get to know how to use them. - Added patches to the "patches" folder: for mp3ng-0.9.13-MKIV-pre3-span.diff (enabling it to provide pcm-data and to do the visualization) for lcdproc-0.0.10 (enabling it to do the visualization - tested only on 4x20 chars) for cdda-0.1.0 (enabling it to provide pcm-data to span) for graphlcd-0.1.3 (enabling it to do the visualization - tested only on 128*64px) for mp3ng-0.0.10-alpha (enabling it to display the peaks) Kindly Christian Leuschen

libxineoutput - A/V Sync
by Dave 08 Sep '06

08 Sep '06

Im experiencing a problem with libxineoutput. The video and audio are out of sync. the settings for the plugin correct it good for one channel, but then are out for another channel, so Ive had to put it in the "middle" so its kinda out of sync equally across all channels, but I find it unacceptable. I also have an A/V sync problem on another machine playing DVD's, where mplayer is fine, so I suspect it to be xine-lib, rather than the plugin, I am just wondering if anyone else has seen this. VDR 1.4.0, CVS libxineoutput. Latest xine-lib 1.1.2-r1 I believe. I shoud note that Im using spdif passthru. the DVD playback on another machine is regular analog. Thanks

*** glibc detected *** double free or corruption 1.4.2-1 Patch
by martin 08 Sep '06

08 Sep '06

Hello Klaus, I've problems when implementing the latest 1.4.2.-1 Patch. Here's the problem: I used VDR-Admin to change a timer setting. Every time I try to save the changed timer, VDR crashes, please see attached strace. I've checked against all 1.4.1-* versions, with bigpatch, without. It must be something with the latest 1.4.2-1 Patch. My system is a Pentium-M: [root@htpc /usr/local/src]# cat /proc/cpuinfo processor : 0 vendor_id : GenuineIntel cpu family : 6 model : 13 model name : Intel(R) Pentium(R) M processor 1.70GHz Please let me know, if you need any additional information.

Videgor is missing on the plugin list on http://www.cadsoft.de/vdr/plugins.htm
by Rene Bartsch 08 Sep '06

08 Sep '06

Hi, the Videgor plugins are missing on the plugin list on http://www.cadsoft.de/vdr/plugins.htm. The website is http://www.videgor.net >From the description: Videgor is a peer-to-peer hard disc video recorder. With its help it is possible to record missed broadcasts from the past. Videgor is based on a extension of Klaus Schmidinger's Video Disk Recorders (VDR). VDR is a program that converts a Linux PC into a video disc recorder with time shifting capabilities. Videgor extends the VDR to a distributed video recorder (D-VDR) by including three plugins ((D-VDR-EPG, D-VDR-SCHEDULE, D-VDR-VIDEOTRANS) and by automatically connecting the participating devices to a peer-to-peer network (IGOR). With this peer-to-peer system the Videgor recorders can share recordings. Videgor was developed at the University of Karlsruhe as part of a DFG research project for peer-to-peer overlay networks. The idea for this projects is derived from the desire not only to do research on the improvement of overlay networks but how to apply these research results in practice. Renne
