xmltv2vdr.pl
by Dominic Evans 14 Aug '15

14 Aug '15

I don't know if anyone else still uses the xmltv2vdr.pl perl script for piping XMLTV data into VDR's epg, but I've been keeping a version of it updated with some additional function here: https://github.com/oldmanuk/xmltv2vdr These are the changes since the last version (1.0.9) was released on the mailing list - Add support for XMLTV episode-num. Currently gets added as EPG entry 'sub-title', if no existing subtitle has been found, in the form sXXeXX (e.g., Bones~s01e01). - Change default SVDRP port number to 6419. - Better support for ATSC/PVRINPUT EPG sources. - Allow multiple channels to have the same XMLTV channel id, useful for multi input (e.g., DVB-T, DVB-S) systems where you want to feed VDR the same info. Previously only a 1:1 mapping was permitted. I've also received a pull request from someone who rewrote the whole script to be a lot more readable and to use full XML parsing (rather than just line-by-line scraping), but I still need to investigate what the performance penalty is before accepting that in.

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

It's originally posted by Maniac in this thread --> http://www.vdr-portal.de/board60-linux/board14-betriebssystem/p1054966-vdr-… The documentation and some Makefile changes are my work. The main code changes are Maniac's work. I hope the code as well as the documentation is ok, so that the patch can be added in the next VDR Version. Thanks, Christopher Reimer

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

Recording two programmes with identical details
by Tony Houghton 04 Jun '12

04 Jun '12

Say I tried to record the same programme twice, once from DVB-T and once from DVB-S, can VDR manage that? As they have different ids they should appear as unrelated to one part of VDR, but as they have the same titles and times it might want to make the same filenames for both of them and clash. Or is that what the last digit just before the .rec part of the directory name is for? How would I be able to tell which is which in the OSD etc? Would they be ordered by adapter number?
