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)
by Ville Rannikko 17 Mar '08

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

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?

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

[PATCH] Small change to correctly query the systems charset
by Matthias Schwarzott 12 Aug '07

12 Aug '07

Hi there! This patch just changes charset querying to not only look at environment variable LANG, but respect all in correct order. So now I can overwrite charset setting with LC_CTYPE and LC_ALL. Greetings Matthias -- Matthias Schwarzott (zzam)

Configuring vdr-sxfe to use a single vdr backend for recordings/dvb cards
by Andrew Herron 31 Jul '07

31 Jul '07

Hi again, Can someone give me some guidance on how to confgure the following; I have a central machine running vdr 1.4.6 (has all the recording storage and dvb cards) I have several networked vdr machines that i want to use to connect back to the 'server' vdr machine. The networked vdr machines will have no dvb cards (they will all be located at the vdr server). How do i configure my vdr client machines to connect back to the server vdr machine and use its dvb cards/recording storage etc? Can anyone give some guidance on this type of setup or point me at a url where I can find out about such a config? Thanks in advance. Andrew

VDR BUG: Cannot display named channels on a transponder with other unnamed channels present
by Morfsta 21 Jul '07

21 Jul '07

Hi, I am running VDR 1.4.6-1 and I think there is a bug in its tuning of certain channels. On the Astra 28.2E package at 11604V there are two unnamed channels which are Sky Anytime A and Sky Anytime B (http://www.lyngsat.com/packages/skyuk.html). Using dvbscan these show up as channels [0f36] and [0f37] respectively and have VPIDS 518 and 519. It is poosible to display these channels, but it is now not possible to receive the other channels on this transponder (VPIDS 512 to 517). I had no problems receiving these channels before the appearance of these additional channels. I have checked the channel settings for the other channels and they are all correct, so I can only guess that there is a bug in VDR that prevents these channels from being displayed. The problem exists without any additional plugins in use. Regards, Morfsta
