[ANNOUNCE] VDR developer version 1.7.16
by Klaus Schmidinger 16 Dec '10

16 Dec '10

VDR developer version 1.7.16 is now available at ftp://ftp.tvdr.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-1.7.16.tar.bz2 A 'diff' against the previous version is available at ftp://ftp.tvdr.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-1.7.15-1.7.16.diff WARNING: ======== This is a *developer* version. Even though *I* use it in my productive environment. I strongly recommend that you only use it under controlled conditions and for testing and debugging. The changes since version 1.7.15: - Updated the Italian OSD texts (thanks to Diego Pierotto). - Added missing Dtypes for ATSC (thanks to Alex Lasnier). - Updated the Portuguese language texts (thanks to Cristiano A. Silva). - Updated the Finnish OSD texts (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - Fixed the array size of Atypes in cPatFilter::Process() (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - Added locking to the cCutter functions to avoid a crash in case CutRecording() is called from a plugin (reported by Andreas Mair). - Fixed DDS detection for HD resolution subtitles (thanks to Reinhard Nissl). - Fixed following symbolic links in RemoveFileOrDir(). - Added support for languages that are written right-to-left (based on a patch from Osama Alrawab). See INSTALL for information on how to turn this on. - Added Arabian language texts (thanks to Osama Alrawab). Have fun! Klaus

Hi everyone, I am using vdr version 1.7.16 and I have discovered some A/V Sync problems after jumping to another mark or jumping with the yellow/green button. Is that an already-known-problem?

VGA2SCART and Broadcom Crystal HD
by Damien Bally 01 Dec '10

01 Dec '10

Hello I plan to buy an D945GSEJT to build my new VDR box and I would give a try to the VGA2SCART (FRC) output. My TV-set is still a good old CRT. 1) Is the quality comparable to a dxr3 card which I am satisfied with ? 2) Can it be used with a BCM70015 card in order to play HD channels ? Thanks Damien

Epia MII questions
by Rene 01 Dec '10

01 Dec '10

Hi all! Is there anyone out there who is using the Via Epia MII 10000 or 12000 board with a current kernel and the 1.6.x build of vdr? I would need some some up to date-help in getting the onboard mpeg2-chip in use with the softdevice-plugin. I'm currently running my system with a budget technotrend dvb-t card, and a full featured dvb-s card that handles the output of the picture. Now i'm moving to an area with a dvb-c network, and for that i got my hands on two buget dvb-c cards. All documents i find is mainly for old 2.6 kernels (for example 2.6.10), and what i understood, the unichrome/cle266 patches for the onboard mpeg2 chip is not included in DirectFB or the main kernel itself... Best Regards, René

Streamdev over parameterized HTTP returns 400 (Bad request)
by Peter Odéus 30 Nov '10

30 Nov '10

Hi, using the instructions given at http://streamdev.vdr-developer.org/ I'm successfully watching http streams from an URL like http://127.0.0.1:3000/EXT/1 But as soon as I use the semicolon (;) to set the QUALITY parameter, i.e. http://127.0.0.1:3000/EXT;QUALITY=dsl6000/1, the server will return HTTP 400 indicating a bad request. Any advice is appreciated :-) /Peter Odéus On Tue, Nov 30, 2010 at 6:56 AM, Rainer Blickle <rainer.blickle(a)googlemail.com> wrote: > I have/had this problem when starting vdr not in the directory where > the binary is.

In my case i selected these bs_BA.UTF-8 UTF-8 bs_BA ISO-8859-2 de_AT.UTF-8 UTF-8 de_AT ISO-8859-1 de_AT@euro ISO-8859-15 en_US.UTF-8 en_US.ISO-8859-1 And did locale-gen to generate these, and all went fine. Just on VDR 1.7.16 start I see in its log this: Nov 29 16:16:40 localhost vdr: [14907] VDR version 1.7.16 started Nov 29 16:16:40 localhost vdr: [14907] switched to user 'vdr' Nov 29 16:16:40 localhost vdr: [14907] codeset is 'UTF-8' - known Nov 29 16:16:40 localhost vdr: [14907] found 0 locales in /usr/share/locale Nov 29 16:16:40 localhost vdr: [14907] no locale for language code 'deu,ger' Nov 29 16:16:40 localhost vdr: [14907] no locale for language code 'slv,slo' Nov 29 16:16:40 localhost vdr: [14907] no locale for language code 'ita' Nov 29 16:16:40 localhost vdr: [14907] no locale for language code 'dut,nla,nld' Nov 29 16:16:40 localhost vdr: [14907] no locale for language code 'por' Nov 29 16:16:40 localhost vdr: [14907] no locale for language code 'fra,fre' Nov 29 16:16:40 localhost vdr: [14907] no locale for language code 'nor' Nov 29 16:16:40 localhost vdr: [14907] no locale for language code 'fin,suo' Nov 29 16:16:40 localhost vdr: [14907] no locale for language code 'pol' Nov 29 16:16:40 localhost vdr: [14907] no locale for language code 'esl,spa' Nov 29 16:16:40 localhost vdr: [14907] no locale for language code 'ell,gre' Nov 29 16:16:40 localhost vdr: [14907] no locale for language code 'sve,swe' Nov 29 16:16:40 localhost vdr: [14907] no locale for language code 'rom,rum' Nov 29 16:16:40 localhost vdr: [14907] no locale for language code 'hun' Nov 29 16:16:40 localhost vdr: [14907] no locale for language code 'cat,cln' Nov 29 16:16:40 localhost vdr: [14907] no locale for language code 'rus' Nov 29 16:16:40 localhost vdr: [14907] no locale for language code 'hrv' Nov 29 16:16:40 localhost vdr: [14907] no locale for language code 'est' Nov 29 16:16:40 localhost vdr: [14907] no locale for language code 'dan' Nov 29 16:16:40 localhost vdr: [14907] no locale for language code 'cze,ces' Nov 29 16:16:40 localhost vdr: [14907] no locale for language code 'tur' Nov 29 16:16:40 localhost vdr: [14907] no locale for language code 'ukr' Nov 29 16:16:40 localhost vdr: [14907] no locale for language code 'ara' And no other language then English is posible to select inside OSD Settings. If i just add these more inside /etc/locale.gen de_DE.UTF-8 UTF-8 de_DE ISO-8859-1 de_DE@euro ISO-8859-15 and do again locale-gen (which also went fine), in log is to see this: Nov 29 16:18:52 localhost vdr: [17933] VDR version 1.7.16 started Nov 29 16:18:52 localhost vdr: [17933] switched to user 'vdr' Nov 29 16:18:52 localhost vdr: [17933] codeset is 'UTF-8' - known Nov 29 16:18:52 localhost vdr: [17933] found 27 locales in /usr/share/locale Nov 29 16:18:52 localhost vdr: [17933] no locale for language code 'por' Nov 29 16:18:52 localhost vdr: [17933] loading plugin: /usr/lib/vdr/plugins/libvdr-signal.so.1.7.16 And i can select there other language then just English, even no locale for them. Is this above normal behavior or something is wrong here...

Changing VDR settings via command
by Helmut Auer 21 Nov '10

21 Nov '10

Hi List, Is there a way to change the setup.conf values via script, without stopping vdr ? Would be niche to have a svdrp command for that ! -- Helmut Auer, helmut(a)helmutauer.de

xine, eepg and 64 bits
by martinez＠embl.de 20 Nov '10

20 Nov '10

Hi, I upgraded my installation to arch linux x86-64 (from ubuntu 32bits) and now using the same source files for vdr-1.7.15 everything compiles and works except two things: a) the eepg plugin refuses to compile: eepg.c:2687:35: error: expected ‘)’ before ‘*’ token eepg.c:2776:16: error: expected constructor, destructor, or type conversion before ‘(’ token eepg.c:4222:31: error: expected ‘}’ at end of input Can somebody help ideally by pointing out what I need to do to get it to compile and failing that supplying a 64 bits compiled libvdr-eep.so.1.7.15 b) sometimes when changing channel something very weird happens with xine, it freezes and I need to kill xine and open it again to zap to the new channel. The error log is clear, but how do I fix this? cat /var/log/vdr.log vdr: /usr/lib/vdr/plugins/libvdr-'xine.so.1.7.15: no se puede abrir el fichero del objeto compartido: No existe el fichero o el directorio (can not open file because it doesn´t exist) Many thanks, A Martinez
