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

Announce: mplayer.sh version 0.8.7
by Juri Haberland 19 Aug '07

19 Aug '07

Hi, this release mainly adds support for MPlayer versions newer than 1.0rc1. Unfortunately, I had to drop the support for MPlayer versions prior to 1.0pre series (0.9x...). This step was necessary, because current MPlayer development version stopped accepting the '-vop' option. The '-vf' option must be used instead. As usual you can get the new version of mplayer.sh from http://batleth.sapienti-sat.org/projects/VDR/ Changelog: - added 544x480 as valid NTSC resolution (thanks to C.Y.M) - removed 688x576 from the valid PAL resolutions; - calculate USE_SPEED with 30 fps instead of 29.97 - use '-vf' and '-af' instead of '-vop' and '-aop', as the latter are deprecated Enjoy, Juri

Hi Klaus, Could you tell me, please, are you planning to add support of MPEG4 to VDR? It's good front-end for HTPC but era of HDTV is coming. So, people need it. Thanks in advance. -- Best regards, Michael Stepanov, www.stepanoff.org

Xineliboutput: can achieve similar to softdevice's mgatv option?
by Alasdair Campbell 25 May '07

25 May '07

Can vdr-xineliboutput utilize the excellent interlaced output of a Matrox G450 with VGA>SCART cable? I'm seeing what I can only describe as video stutters/shakes with interlaced video and quick movements, long camera pans. Using latest vdr-xineliboutput, DirectFB-1.0.0 & xine-lib-1.1.5 using Gentoo ebuilds. Otherwise xineliboutput is working fantastically! (well without any sound but that's another issue for another day :-) ) -- A l a s d a i r C a m p b e l l r a g a w u @ g m a i l . c o m

recording directory changes after timer resume
by Christian Wieninger 03 May '07

Hi, I noticed a problem with the recording directory of the following timer 9:S19.2E-1-1092-10100:M------:2000:2200:50:99:Musik~DELUXE: in a situation where the recording gets interrupted by any other recording due to higher priority (with vdr-1.4.6): > Mar 19 20:00:00 Kanotix vdr: [4293] timer 1 (44 2000-2200 'Musik~DELUXE') start > Mar 19 20:00:04 Kanotix vdr: [4293] record /video0/Musik/DELUXE/_/2007-03-19.20.00.50.99.rec > Mar 19 20:00:05 Kanotix vdr: [4299] channel 44 (DELUXE MUSIC) event Mon 19.03.2007 19:52-20:11 '(null)' s > tatus 4 > Mar 19 21:03:00 Kanotix vdr: [4293] stopping recording on DVB device 1 due to higher priority > Mar 19 21:03:01 Kanotix vdr: [4293] timer 1 (44 2000-2200 'Musik~DELUXE') stop > Mar 19 21:03:03 Kanotix vdr: [4293] timer 1 (44 2000-2200 'Musik~DELUXE') start > Mar 19 21:03:03 Kanotix vdr: [4293] executing 'noad before "/video0/Musik/DELUXE/Den_Song_für_Ihr_Privata > rchiv_kaufen_Si/2007-03-19.20.00.50.99.rec"' > Mar 19 21:03:03 Kanotix noad[4502]: noad arg[0]: noad > Mar 19 21:03:03 Kanotix noad[4502]: noad arg[1]: before > Mar 19 21:03:03 Kanotix noad[4502]: noad arg[2]: /video0/Musik/DELUXE/Den_Song_für_Ihr_Privatarchiv_kaufe > n_Si/2007-03-19.20.00.50.99.rec > Mar 19 21:03:03 Kanotix noad[4502]: noad args done > Mar 19 21:03:03 Kanotix noad[4502]: noad called with 'before' and online=1 and liverecording is no > Mar 19 21:03:03 Kanotix noad[4502]: nothing to do yet > Mar 19 21:03:03 Kanotix vdr: [4293] record /video0/Musik/DELUXE/Den_Song_für_Ihr_Privatarchiv_kaufen_Si/2 > 007-03-19.20.00.50.99.rec as you can see the timers recording directory changes from empty ('_' ) to 'Den_Song_für_Ihr_Privatarchiv_kaufen_Si' when the recording is resumed on device 2, resulting in 2 single recordings. Background: the timer is responsible for a recording on DeluxeMusic. DeluxeMusic delivers their EPG for the current and the next track. So its permanently changing. When the recording is finished it will be processed with the deluxe-plugin to extract mp3's. But this only works with one consistent recording. The reason for VDRs behaviour is probably that at the beginning of the recording there's no EPG at all, while after the resume there is one. Any ideas how to avoid the two recordings? BR, Christian
