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.

BBC HD Problems
by Morfsta 12 Aug '09

12 Aug '09

Hi, There appears to have been some changes made recently to BBCHD on 28.2E: - BBCHD:BBC:10847:vC56M2O35S0:S28.2E:22000:2328:2330=NAR;2329=eng:2331:0:6940 :2:2050:0 It is now not watchable with a reel eHD card - no audio and stuttering video. The Reel support people are saying this is possibly because they have started using AAC audio which is not supported by VDR. Is anyone else having problems with this and FFMPEG or CoreAVC via xine or is it still fine? Thanks, Morfsta

ITV HD

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

PMT in multiple TS packet bug
by Alexw 16 Mar '09

16 Mar '09

Hi Klaus, I have noticed a PMT parsing issue with VDR version 1.7.x. The bug is still present in version 1.7.3 but the behaviour is worst because it segfaults. First I found out that 2 lines where added in the ParsePmt method. Data += Data[0] + 1; // this is the first packet Length -= Data[0] + 1; At the moment I don't know exactly what is the meaning of this 2 operations. The second line can result in a negative Length which is the reason of the segfault. Could you kindly explain the offset drift? In a single section PMT (99.9% of the time) Data[0] is always equal to 0 and we skip the first byte. Length is reduced by 1. I a multiple section stream Data[0] can be above 188. Trying to skip more than a section is not possible in the actual context. I have done a quick and dirty hack to prevent the segfault: --- remux.c_ori 2009-01-16 21:05:46.000000000 +0100 +++ remux.c 2009-01-17 13:34:17.000000000 +0100 @@ -361,6 +361,7 @@ if (pmtSize == 0) { Data += Data[0] + 1; // this is the first packet Length -= Data[0] + 1; + if ( Length < 0 ) Length = 0; if (SectionLength(Data, Length) > Length) { if (Length <= int(sizeof(pmt))) { memcpy(pmt, Data, Length); the second step will be to have the parsing of multiple section allowed. At the moment when the data size exceed the section size (max 4096), PMT cannot be parsed.

Options for deinterlacing (or not)
by Scott Waye 06 Mar '09

06 Mar '09

I want to replace my UK Sky digital box with VDR (I only want the free to air channels) for watching/recording TV over HDMI on my plasma. So far everything is working OK, I have vdr 1.7.3 and xine running on an ASUS M2N VM-HDMI (nvidia) mobo with the s2-liplianin drivers for my Nova SD2 card. My problem is interlacing. I've googled back through the archives and got a lot of info from there, however I still have one question and one request. If X is put into an interlaced mode (1920x1080i @ 50Hz), and I do not do any de interlacing in xine, why is this not the same as what my digibox does? I'm guessing it has something to do with xine outputting a complete frame when the broadcast sends each field? What I'd hope happen (for interlaced material) is that xine receives a field from VDR, scales it to the X resolution (halfed vertically of course) and sends it to the the graphics card which just passes it on to the TV which draws that field. That doesn't seem to happen so where have I gone wrong? There's a lot of options for tvtime in xine, TomsMoComp and full framerate seem popular. What settings are others using? -- Scott
