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

portability or VDR on FreeBSD
by Joerg Pulz 10 Jul '10

10 Jul '10

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello list. As the subject already says, this is about VDR portability, or how to get VDR up and running on a FreeBSD system. In times where we have such really nice plugins like softdevice and streamdev, we no longer need real MPEG2 or DVB hardware in a VDR system. As i want to use my FreeBSD systems to watch TV or play VDR recordings i decided to give porting VDR to FreeBSD a try. Attached you can find the results. In short terms: It simply works! The only missing feature right now is, starting VDR as root and switching to another user (-u command line option). For now it is possible to watch any recording made by a VDR with real hardware if the video directory is directly accessible over the network (mountable by the client) or the use the streamdev plugin to stream VDR to VDR. All tests where done using a Linux system with two FF-DVB-S devices, streamdev-server plugin and NFS exported video directory plus a wired and a wireless FreeBSD-7.0 client running VDR with streamdev-client and softdevice plugin. As far as i could test the whole setup until now, everything works the same way on FreeBSD as it does under Linux and i now have real channel-hopping. The patches are made in a way that a patched VDR will still compile under Linux. Every modification, to the source or to the Makefiles is ifdef'd out. So unless you say you want to compile VDR for FreeBSD you have an unmodified version of source. In case the ML software strips the attachments, the files are also available for download at: ftp://ftp.frm2.tum.de/pub/jpulz/VDR/ Thoughts or comments from others are welcome. regards Joerg - -- The beginning is the most important part of the work. -Plato -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.4 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFH0Dy8SPOsGF+KA+MRAmVBAJ9Tzfxg0zWNN/fEX8vfeMOW2muvSACgivha raTzC4R92jZ+Petp9Mqwr9E= =f08n -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

by Matthias Lötzke 02 Jan '10

02 Jan '10

Hello! A new release of the configurable LNB-sharing patch for VDR 1.4 is available at: http://xn--ltzke-jua.de/dvb/VDR_LNB_sharing_patch/configurableLNBshare-VDR_… Changes: - added a missing "break" statement which froze vdr after pressing channel up/down buttons when the main menu was displayed. Thanks to Christian Jacobsen, "Horchi" and Anssi Hannula for reporting and analysing. - adapted to VDR 1.4.3 For general information about the LNB-sharing patch have a look at: http://xn--ltzke-jua.de/dvb/VDR_LNB_sharing_patch/Description.txt http://www.vdr-wiki.de/wiki/index.php/Lnbsharing-patch (german) Matthias.

ITV HD
by Tony Houghton 22 Jun '09

I've read that ITV HD can only be viewd by pressing the red button on a Freesat receiver. Does this mean VDR can't access it? -- TH * http://www.realh.co.uk

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 Plugin Survey 2008
by Tobi 04 Dec '08

04 Dec '08

Hello dear VDR users and developers! I've started a small survey about VDR and the VDR plug-ins and kindly ask you to participate. http://e-tobi.net/survey/ The main reason for this survey is, that there are currently more than 300 plug-ins available for VDR (according to the English and German VDR Wiki). That's a lot! As a member of the Debian VDR packaging project (we currently just have about 120 plug-ins packaged), I would like to know, which are the plug-ins that are really used and which are the ones that aren't used at all. As a result of this survey, we would like to drop Debian packaging support for some of the rarely and not used plug-ins that are not maintained by their authors anymore and identify interesting plug-ins that might be good candidates for an official release in Lenny +1 . This survey is not just about the Debian VDR packages. It's main focus is on VDR and VDR plug-ins in general and I hope, it will be useful for other distribution maintainers and developers as well. I will make the results and all the collected data available to the public under the terms of the Creative Commons Licence (CC-BY-SA), after the survey has been finished. The survey is completely anonymous! You have to register with an email address and a password, but they will only be stored as an SHA hash in the database and will be randomized once more, before the data is made available to the public. The survey will not send any emails or do other nasty stuff! If you have any problems with the survey or your are missing a plug-in, just write me a small note to: vdr-plugin-survey-2008(a)e-tobi.net Thanks for your participation! Tobias Grimm (e-tobi.net)

Hi I use the solution here : http://www.vdrportal.de/board/thread.php?threadid=73791 You can use mpeg_ps_extract to transform the vdr file in separate file .264 plus several audio file When extracted, any soft like mencoder can convert them Best regards Le Wednesday 01 October 2008 21:15:59 Jelle De Loecker, vous avez écrit : > Good evening all, > > I've got a bunch of old recordings made with VDR, like a 20 GB HD > recording.
