Crash with cMenuEditStrItem in vdr-1.5.9
by Christian Wieninger 13 Oct '07

13 Oct '07

Hi, me and Rolf Ahrenberg noticed that there seems to be a problem with cMenuEditStrItem in vdr-1.5.9. To reproduce it just call the timer edit menu and hit 'left' on the directory item or any other cMenuEditStrItem object. The following patch should fix this: --- vdr-1.5.9/menuitems.c 2007-08-17 15:48:07.000000000 +0200 +++ VDR/menuitems.c 2007-09-29 09:02:12.000000000 +0200 @@ -500,7 +500,7 @@ pos--; newchar = true; } - if (!insert && Utf8is(alpha, valueUtf8[pos])) + if (pos >= 0 && !insert && Utf8is(alpha, valueUtf8[pos])) uppercase = Utf8is(upper, valueUtf8[pos]); break; case kRight|k_Repeat: It happens here that pos is -1. Strange that the old code of previous vdr versions if (!insert && isalpha(value[pos])) uppercase = isupper(value[pos]); had no problem there. BR, Christian

pay TV channels New Zealand
by Simon Baxter 12 Oct '07

12 Oct '07

Hello. Where can I start with getting per-movie pay-tv channels working under DVB-C? I have a TT-2300C with Alphacrypt CAM, and can receive all encrypted channels. Can't get the pay-tv movies, get the following CAM message: CAM 1 - AlphaCrypt Sat 06.10 20:19 You are not entitled to receive this programme ! Press OK Where do I start? (I'm the first person to try this in NZ) Thanks. Running vdr 1.5.6

diff and po-files = huge patches?
by Torsten Kunkel 09 Oct '07

09 Oct '07

Hi, while working on a patch I noticed a small problem creating such a patch with the "new" translation. When adding new translations, you have to call "make i18n" in order to get the translation generated to the gettext-files, but when doing this, all linenumbers get updated. The diff looks like this (just an example): x--x--x--x--x [...] -#: keys.c:63 +#: keys.c:64 msgid "Key$User6" msgstr "Benutzer6" -#: keys.c:64 +#: keys.c:65 msgid "Key$User7" msgstr "Benutzer7" -#: keys.c:65 +#: keys.c:66 msgid "Key$User8" msgstr "Benutzer8" [...] x--x--x--x--x Because of this, a patch of about 5kb will have about 150kb because of these changes. What is the best way to avoid this? The only way I can think of is to generate the files with "make i18n" and then copy the new parts to a temporary file, after this discard the generated files, copy over the orignal ones and add the changes from the temp-file to them. But this much more work than just running diff. Is there a better way to do a diff with new/changed translations? Greetings Torsten

Fwd: vdr-xine
by Theunis Potgieter 08 Oct '07

08 Oct '07

I'm running patched xine-lib on a Gentoo system, media-libs/xine-lib-1.1.8with the vdr USE flag. vdr-1.5.8 using vdr-xine-0.7.11 as the software output device. I'm having problems with the editing of recordings when setting a marker, also with fast rewinding and fast forward, pause + forward/rewind. With fast forward it will jump 15sec forward from the start and when going back to normal play/pause, it will rewind 10 sec, making the forward unpredictable. The same goes for rewind. It is 15sec in reverse ahead also, and jumps a few seconds forward when going back to normal play. In pause + rewind the following is happening: Example 1: I pause at e.g. 1:35:32, pressing rewind will jump to 1:35:18 and stop at 1:34:50 when I immediately tried to pause again. When I press play, it will jump to 1:35:06. This jumping makes it very uncomfortable to use the functionality. Only pause + forward works as expected. Example 2: I will start playing at 1:35:07, and press forward and later on press the play button again at 1:35:55, but video will move back to 1:35:50 Example 3: I will start playing at 1:35:55 and it will rewind to 1:35:12, on pressing the play button again it will jump to 1:35:29 (appears to be the same problem as with pause + rewind) Example 4: The video has come to an end at 2:11:08, but it will play on for a further 5 seconds, when the timer is not counting anymore. Example 5: I will pause the video at 1:35:55 and press the marker button, the marker says at 1:35:55.2 but when I press play, it will jump to 1:36:00 The same strange behavior happens with the vdr-softdevice-0.4 (the change in time is a bit different but still the same strange behavior) It was more or less working in vdr-1.5.5. I only have a budget card in my machine. Reinhard Nißl from vdr-xine suggested it is a buffer problem between vdr and the software device plug-in. Your assistance would be appreciated. Theunis

[ANNOUNCE] Remote Control Plugin 0.4.0
by Oliver Endriss 06 Oct '07

06 Oct '07

Hi, there is an update for the remote control plugin. History: -------- 2007-10-06: Version 0.4.0 - Implemented gettext support for VDR >= 1.5.7, i18n is still used for older vdr releases. - If supported by udev, an input device can be selected by pci slot now. For example: vdr -P"remote -i /dev/input/by-path/pci-0000:02:06.0--event-ir" (Thanks to Joachim Selinger for suggesting to add this feature.) It can be downloaded from http://www.escape-edv.de/endriss/vdr/ See README for details. Short description: ------------------ This plugin extends the remote control capabilities of vdr. The following remote control devices are supported: (a) linux input device driver ('/dev/input/eventX', X=0,1,2,...) - built-in remote control port of the av711x-based DVB cards (aka full-featured cards), e.g. DVB-S Nexus [1] - remote control port of some budget cards, e.g. Nova-CI [2] - other input devices (not tested, please report success!) See file FAQ for a list of cards which have been reported to work. (b) keyboard (tty driver): /dev/console, /dev/ttyX (c) TCP connection (telnet) (d) LIRC Summary of command line options: -------------------------------- -i dev, --input=dev select device which supports the /dev/input protocol -l dev, --lirc=dev select LIRC device -t dev, --tty=dev select terminal device -T dev, --TTY=dev select terminal device with 'OSD' -p tcp:n, --port=tcp:n select connection on tcp port <n> Examples: --------- vdr -Premote vdr -P"remote -i autodetect" Try to autodetect device '/dev/input/eventX' (X = 0,1,2,...). If no device can be identified, '-i /dev/input/ir' is used. vdr -P"remote -i /dev/input/event2" use specified input device '/dev/input/event2' vdr -P"remote -i /dev/input/by-path/pci-0000:02:06.0--event-ir" select input device by pci slot (udev support required) vdr -P"remote -l /dev/lircd" select LIRC remote control vdr -P"remote -p tcp:3333" wait for a telnet connection on tcp port 3333 (use 'telnet vdr 3333' to access this port) vdr -P"remote -t /dev/tty10" use terminal device without 'OSD' vdr -P"remote -T /dev/tty10" use terminal device with 'OSD' vdr -P"remote -i autodetect -p tcp:3333 -t /dev/tty10" use multiple devices Have fun, Oliver -- ---------------------------------------------------------------- VDR Remote Plugin 0.3.9: http://www.escape-edv.de/endriss/vdr/ ----------------------------------------------------------------

[ANNOUNCE] vdr-osdserver 0.1.0
by Udo Richter 06 Oct '07

06 Oct '07

Hi, I've published version 0.1.0 of the OSDServer plugin. OSDServer is a plugin that allows external programs to use the OSD and the menu system of VDR. Access is done via TCP/IP and a simple script language that is primarily designed to be handled by perl programs and shell scripts. Until now, interactive VDR extensions were only available to C++ coders, but with this plugin, script coders can use the OSD too. Version 0.1.0 mainly wraps up bug fixes since 0.0.2, and should now be stable enough for regular use. It also adds support for local variable contexts, a _Focus pseudo variable to access the current top menu, supports an osdserverhosts.conf and allows to configure the port number. Feedback on problems and improvement suggestions are of course welcome. Download and sample: http://www.udo-richter.de/vdr/osdserver.html http://www.udo-richter.de/vdr/osdserver.en.html Cheers, Udo
