adding an analog source to a working vdr installation
by Arturo Martinez 03 Jun '11

03 Jun '11

Hi, I have a working vdr 1.7.16 installation with a satellite dvb-s2 card working fine. Now I have a separate receiver which I would like to integrate with vdr I have a supported bt878 card (item number 23 in the list) http://linuxtv.org/hg/v4l-dvb/file/tip/linux/Documentation/video4linux/CARD… Besides a scart to rca cable to connect the receiver to the bt878 card what else will I need to do so vdr works with it? The sky plugin? (I am not interested in Sky, just want to have analog video input from my third party receiver into my vdr box) or some other analog tv plugin?

Hi, I just found this in my ancient commands.conf lynx -dump http://www.netholic.com/extras/vdr_announce.php | sed '/[0-9]\/[0-9]/!d;s/\(\([^]]*\)\[\)\{1\}.*/\2/;s/ //g' | head -n 15 Anyone knows an equivalent of this (now gone) page? Maybe there's a more modern RSS feed today? Thanks. -- Adrian C. (anrxc) | anrxc..sysphere.org | PGP ID: D20A0618 PGP FP: 02A5 628A D8EE 2A93 996E 929F D5CB 31B7 D20A 0618

wrong index/info in HD 1080i recordings since with 1.7.18
by Gerald Raaf 22 May '11

22 May '11

hi Klaus i have the following problem, i've updated my vdr server from 1.7.16 to the new version 1.7.18. If i record "Sky Cinema" or any other Sky HD channel the information for frames per second in info file is different to 1.7.16 (ok you changed this behavior in 1.7.17) Sky HD recording (1080i) - original index and info with "F 50" line. Cutting marks can be moved, but output isn't refreshed. Fast forward/backward works without artifacts. - recreate index (1.7.18) with "F 25"/"F 50" in info and without info, works same index file as with 1.7.16. cutting marks can be moved. Fast forward/backward works without artifacts. Generated index has half of size then orginal one. HD with 720p like "Das Erste HD" or "ZDF HD" is ok. With old recordings from 1.7.16 i have to regenerate index file as you described in HISTORY file. cu Gerald

dvb-s(2) NumProvidedSystems() vs reelchannelscan
by Juergen Lock 21 May '11

21 May '11

Hi! There seems to be a change in recent vdr versions regarding NumProvidedSystems() which at least the reelchannelscan plugin uses to tell apart a dvb-s2 tuner from a dvb-s one in a few places, apparently it used to return 2 for a dvb-s2 tuner and now returns 3. Is this intentional? I patched reelchannelscan like below: (would need to check the vdr version to be general of course, this was for 1.7.18; symptom was a manual scan wrote out qam32 modulation into the channels.conf instead of qpsk and of course vdr couldn't tune the new channel(s).)

sequence of messages in xgettext/msgmerge
by Klaus Schmidinger 21 May '11

21 May '11

I'm just trying to build VDR on openSUSE 11.4, which comes with xgettext/msgmerge version 0.18.1. For some odd reason, when doing make i18n the sequence of the messages in the *.po files is completely different than before, which would cause a huge and unnecessary diff in the next developer version of VDR. Does anybody know if the gettext-tools have been broken at some point? Is there a way to get the previous sequence of messages back? Klaus
