VDR & Multiple frontends
by Eddi 25 Jul '15

25 Jul '15

Hi, I wrote a patch to Steve Toth hvr3000 repository, so my FlyDVB Trio can use multiple frontend. So I get: /dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0 /dev/dvb/adapter0/demux1 /dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr0 /dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr1 /dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0 /dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend1 /dev/dvb/adapter0/net0 /dev/dvb/adapter0/net1 The bus of the two frontend is shared, isn't possible to get access to both frontend simultaneously, so I get an -EBUSY error by trying accessing frontend1 if frontend0 is in use. VDR doesn't support yet the second frontend, and it try to get exclusive access on both frontend on start, so the second frontend is inusabile. Vdr should probe for multiple frontend at start, and access frontend only on channel change. Please can someone give me an help to wrote a patch for this issue? Best Regards, Eddi

EPG for Hotbird / russian programmes
by Harald Milz 23 Dec '08

23 Dec '08

Hi, now that my VDR works fine with 2 satellites thanks to the help of some kind folks here and the SourceCaps patch (did I mention it should be in the mainstream VDR?) I have now a couple of FTA programmes in russian language for my better half :-) The only problem is, none of these programmes carry any EPG information. The schedules are available on the web sites, mostly. Has somebody written a plugin that retrieves the schedules and creates proper EPG data from them? I might but not too soon... I understand this task can be a pain in <pick your favourite body part> because people use no SOA interfaces. TBNRussia provides an Excel file (yuck). TIA! -- Reader, suppose you were an idiot. And suppose you were a member of Congress. But I repeat myself. -- Mark Twain

vdr on PS3
by Clemens Kirchgatterer 20 Sep '08

20 Sep '08

i can see many of us are seeking for the right hardware for vdr, so i am. i want to start some discussion about the upcoming Sony PS3 as an vdr client on steroids. as it will support linux out of the box, it seams logical to, at least, think about it. i came to the following pro/contra list: pro: it supports HD (and Blue-Ray), is small and living room ready, comes with linux, has powerful CPU, you get a gameconsole for free ;-) contra: gets hot, likly DRM locked in some regards, it's a sony the last point may be even not so bad, as sony loses money on each selled device. so what do others think about this idea? anything i have not thought about that makes it even impossible to run vdr (or some other softdevice client) on the PS3? best regards ... clemens

FF card AV sync problems, possible fix to VDR (fwd)

Oh, well. Turns out that I had somehow failed to install the new firmware properly. My test patch is possibly not needed at all. Ville

vdr-1.5x: problem with recording FTA and watching scrambled at the same time
by Arthur Konovalov 14 Feb '08

14 Feb '08

Hi all! Our local cable operator transmit on same frequency FTA and scrambled channels. During recording on FTA channel it is not possible to switch to any scrambled channel on the same frequency. "Channel not available!" message received. At the same time, when recording scrambled channel, switching to FTA or to other scrambled works. This behavior introduced with vdr-1.5.x versions (at least since 1.5.2, if I remember correctly). vdr-1.4.7 performs fine in same situation. Regards, AK

PANIC: watchdog timer expired - exiting
by Unknown Unknown 03 Dec '07

03 Dec '07

Hi, With vdr 1.4.5 + dvd, dvdselect and subtitles plugins I sometimes get the following when vdr tries to set the System time. May 31 20:23:35 localhost vdr: [3405] switching to channel 1 May 31 20:23:35 localhost vdr: [3405] timer 1 (3 2056-2210 'News') set to event Thu 31.05.2007 21:00-22:00 'News' May 31 20:23:38 localhost vdr: [3413] System Time = Thu May 31 20:23:38 2007 (1180632218) May 31 20:23:38 localhost vdr: [3413] Local Time = Thu May 31 20:19:37 2007 (1180631977) May 31 20:21:01 localhost vdr: [3405] PANIC: watchdog timer expired - exiting! Could vdr turn off the watchdog before it sets the system time, if that is the problem?
