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

distribution of systemd service file
by Paul Menzel 27 Jun '12

27 Jun '12

Dear VDR folks, I just noticed that Davide Cavalca added an systemd [1] service file for VDR to OpenBricks [2]. Is it useful to get this included upstream, so that all distributions can use it? I just found this one comment, that these service files supposed to be uniform between distributions [3]. On the other hand I did not find any init scripts in the VDR source. Thanks, Paul PS: Please do not use this thread to discuss different init systems.

Plugin for MHEG (BBC RedButton service)
by John Williams 21 Jun '12

21 Jun '12

Hello, I have adapted the standalone "redbutton" program (http://redbutton.sourceforge.net/) into a plugin for VDR. This allows me to view the "Redbutton" data service broadcast by the BBC. This is a preliminary version of the plugin and it is not robust enough for general use, but if anyone would like to experiment with it, the source code can be downloaded from http://pond-weed.com/redbutton/ Regards, John Williams

Patch suggestion: Force CAM reset before upcoming recording
by Heikki Manninen 06 Mar '12

06 Mar '12

I have a number of different Conax CAM modules from different manufacturers and all of them disappear from VDR after a couple of days running. Hitting CAM reset on the CI menu will bring it back "online". Naturally all Conax channel recordings will fail silently as a result of this until the CAM has been brought back up. Switching to an encrypted channel just gives the standard "channel not available" message. This happens (for me) with Satelco DVB-C card with Satelco CI. From what I understand, this seems to be a common problem though I'm not sure whether it is limited to Satelco devices only. Would it be possible to force CAM reset on all CI slots when VDR is trying to start recording non-FTA channel? -- Heikki M

[ANNOUNCE] VDR developer version 1.7.24
by Klaus Schmidinger 05 Mar '12

05 Mar '12

VDR developer version 1.7.24 is now available at ftp://ftp.tvdr.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-1.7.24.tar.bz2 A 'diff' against the previous version is available at ftp://ftp.tvdr.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-1.7.23-1.7.24.diff MD5 checksums: a034c5e399417dfc583483f650d003ee vdr-1.7.24.tar.bz2 aa1a2b202da92e65945ff39470b26618 vdr-1.7.23-1.7.24.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 1.7.23: - Updated the Italian OSD texts (thanks to Diego Pierotto). - Fixed a high load in case a transponder can't be received. - Improved the way DVB_API_VERSION is checked. - Updated the Finnish OSD texts (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - Fixed asserting there is a live programme if the primary device is bonded with a device that starts a recording on a different band. - Fixed the return type of cMyDeviceHook::DeviceProvidesTransponder() in PLUGINS.html. - Fixed a crash in a plugin using cDeviceHook when VDR ends (reported by Oliver Endriss). - Some improvements to the Makefiles (thanks to Christian Ruppert). - Fixed cRecording::LengthInSeconds(), which wrongfully rounded the result to full minutes (thanks to Christoph Haubrich). - Symbolic links are no longer resolved in cRecordings::ScanVideoDir() (thanks to Sundararaj Reel). - The epg.data file is now read in a separate thread to make the startup process faster in case the file is very large (suggested by Helmut Auer). - Fixed selecting the primary device for receiving the live viewing channel in case it is bonded with an other device and has no receiver attached to it. - Fixed a possible crash when canceling VDR while displaying subtitles, and the primary device is no longer available. - Improved handling subtitles of BBC channels. - No longer using tabs as delimiter in the EPG bugfix log (they were garbled in the log file). - Added a missing '.' after the month in VPS strings. - Added some missing 'const' to cDevice (thanks to Joachim Wilke). - Fixed handling the PrimaryLimit when requesting a device for live viewing (reported by Uwe Scheffler). - Removed superfluous calls to SetVideoFormat() from device constructors. This function is called in cDevice::SetPrimaryDevice(), anyway. - An ongoing editing process is now canceled if either the original or the edited version of the recording is deleted from the Recordings menu. - The SVDRP command DELR now won't delete a recording that is currently being edited. - Removed code stub for obsolete SVDRP command MOVT. - The DVB device adapters/frontends are now probed by scanning the /dev/dvb directory instead of looping through adapter/frontend numbers. This allows for "holes" in the device numbering. - cReadDir::Next() now skips directory entries "." and "..". - Fixed a possible deadlock in time shift mode. - Fixed switching into time shift mode when pausing live video (thanks to Reinhard Nissl for helping to debug this one). Have fun! Klaus

VDR-1.7.16 doesn't respect valid dvb device frequency ranges
by Andreas Brachold 03 Mar '12

03 Mar '12

Hello, Any current vdr doesn't respect valid dvb device frequency ranges. Here on a EPG-Scan it's generate many messages on syslog, like : DVB: adapter 0 frontend 0 frequency 177500000 out of range (470000000..860000000) DVB: adapter 0 frontend 0 frequency 177500000 out of range (470000000..860000000) DVB: adapter 0 frontend 0 frequency 177500000 out of range (470000000..860000000) Any of my three DVB-T devices have different frequency ranges, and the primary device can't receive VHF-channels. frontend 0:0 frequency range 470000000..860000000 frontend 1:0 frequency range 51000000..858000000 frontend 2:0 frequency range 177000000..858000000 Therefore i attach a simple patch to check provided frequency ranges of used dvb-t device driver. Andreas
