New tool to load VDR with XMLTV Data
by Adam Flott 26 Dec '13

26 Dec '13

I wrote a tool to load VDR with XMLTV data. Written in Go with 0 external dependencies and does a few things nicer than that perl script that's been floating around Source: https://github.com/adamflott/vdr-epg-tool Usage: http://adamflott.com/loading-vdr-with-xmltv-data/ Probably not 100% bug free, but it works for me. $ tv_grab_na_dd --days 1 --output /tmp/epg_schedules_direct.xml \ && vdr-epg-tool -c /var/lib/vdr/channels.conf -x /tmp/epg_schedules_direct.xml epg-load \ && rm /tmp/epg_schedules_direct.xml Enjoy!

vdr-plugin-dvbapi, howto connect to oscam?

Hi All, I am trying to connect vdr-plugin-dvbapi to oscam. both programs are running on the D-link DNS-323 NAS. The NAS is running debian armel https://github.com/manio/vdr-plugin-dvbapi When I stream an encrypted channel into my browser, I see the following errors in /var/log/oscam/oscam.log 013/12/24 16:14:37 14F4DA8 c [DVBAPI] Receiver sends PMT command 3 for channel 001F 2013/12/24 16:14:37 14F4DA8 c [DVBAPI] Receiver wants to demux srvid 001F on adapter 0000 camask 0001 index 0000 2013/12/24 16:14:37 14F4DA8 c [ADD PID 0] CAID: 0B00 ECM_PID: 0BCB PROVID: 000000 2013/12/24 16:14:37 14F4DA8 c Found 1 ECMpids and 2 STREAMpids in PMT 2013/12/24 16:14:37 14F4DA8 c [DVBAPI] Receiver wants to demux srvid 001F on adapter 0000 camask 0001 index 0000 2013/12/24 16:14:37 14F4DA8 c New program number: 001F (0B00:001F unknown) [pmt_list_management 3] 2013/12/24 16:14:37 14F4DA8 c [DVBAPI] Demuxer #0 no suitable readers found that can be used for decoding!

[PATCH] vdr -v ... --edit ignores -v to set videodir
by Marko Mäkelä 25 Dec '13

25 Dec '13

Hi all, I am not sure if this was reported already, but I encountered this bug when trying to edit a recording without setting up VDR: ./vdr -v /tmp/video --edit /tmp/video/Rec_name/2013-08-12.20.58.50.99.rec Without the attached patch, VDR would try to create /srv/vdr/video, and would fail to cut the recording. With the patch, VDR successfully cut the recording. The source files were in PES format, and also the new recording is in PES format. Based on a discussion from 2008, this is the expected behaviour. Is there some tool for converting old PES recordings to TS format?

Re: [vdr] vdr-iptv "sh -c" iptvstream.sh issue
by Ian_and_joanna 24 Dec '13

24 Dec '13

Hi, In Brief Have you checked file permissions? Detail The first example you quote that works is the way iptvstream.sh should be called I think (so that parameters can be passed to the script). The first thing I'd check are the file permissions on iptvstream.sh (i.e. the output from ls -l /etc/vdr/iptvstream.sh ) and that they allow the user running vdr to execute the script. In general I hesitate in modifying the source until I have ruled out other possibilities as I imagine an error of this nature in the source would have been picked up by others sooner (unless it is a very recent change). In closing First step check file permissions on the shell script. Regards, Ian.

merge old vdr files using cat
by Lou 19 Dec '13

19 Dec '13

hi list Older vdr recordings where recorded as MPEG-PES, and split right before the 2GB size limit. Is it save to use cat and merge them into one big file? I remember my recording vdr was one of those "multipatch" editions, which might have tampered with the filestructure. Any thoughts on that? Regards, Lou

[Announce] streamdev-0.6.1
by Frank Schmirler 17 Dec '13

17 Dec '13

Hi, it was about time to publish a streamdev release for VDR 2.0. Streamdev-0.6.1 is now available from http://projects.vdr-developer.org/projects/plg-streamdev/files. The server plugin requires at least VDR 1.7.25. The client plugin should even work with VDR 1.6. On VDR version up to 1.7.33 the Makefiles have to be replaced by the old versions which are shipped along with the source. Besides bugfixes and internal changes the following features have been added since 0.6.0: The client plugin can now provide multiple devices, allowing the client to receive more than one transponder from the same server (e.g. for PiP or clientside recordings). So it is no longer necessary to add a copy of the plugin unless you want to connect with multiple servers. Basic support for HTTP streaming of recordings. There is still a lot to do. In particular a proper menu and remuxing are missing. At the moment the recording is streamed "as-is" (usually TS), even if the menu suggests something different. In addition to the HTML menu and the M3U playlists, the HTTP server now also offers RSS feeds. Some smart TV apps should be able to make use of it. A new option in streamdev-server suspends local output when starting. The default value "auto" will do this only if no output device is detected. Here's the complete changelog: - Updated Slovak translation (thanks to Milan Hrala) - Updated Finnish translation (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg) - Disabled PS remuxer which is said to produce anything but PS - The patches intcamdevices and ignore_missing_cam are no longer required on VDR >= 1.7.30. The localchannelprovide patch became obsolete with VDR 1.7.21. - Added option to suspend live TV when the server starts - Set device occupied when streamdev switches away LiveTV on the server, to reduce the risk that the VDR main loop immediately switches back, resulting in a black screen on the client (reported by hummel99) - Fixed channel switch issues with priority > 0 (reported by hummel99) - Removed noisy debug messages - Fixed HTTP menu destruction - API change of VDR 2.1.2 - Fixed priority handling, messed up when adding multi-device support - Added HTTP "Server" header (suggested by hivdr) - Ignore dummy file extensions (.ts, .vob, .vdr) when parsing HTTP URIs - Select start position for replaying a recording by parameter pos=. Supported values are resume, mark.#, time.#, frame.# or a plain # representing a percentage if < 100 or a byte position otherwise (thanks to hivdr) - Start cSuspendCtl hidden or it will prevent idle shutdown (thanks to thomasjfox) - Fixed recordings menu inode numbers: ino_t is a long long on some systems - Updated Slovak translation (thanks to Milan Hrala) - Adapted Makefiles to VDR 1.7.36+ (thanks to macmenot). Old makefiles have been renamed to Makefile-1.7.33. - API changes of VDR 1.7.38 (thanks to mal@vdr-developer) - Added simple recordings menu in HTTP server - Restructured menuHTTP classes - Added RSS format for HTTP menus - Recordings can now also be selected by struct stat "st_dev:st_ino.rec" - Implemented multi-device support for streamdev client (suggested by johns) - Basic support for HTTP streaming of recordings - Close writer when streamer is finished - Don't abort VTP connection if filter stream is broken - Restructured cStreamdevStreamer: Moved inbound buffer into actual subclass. - In cStreamdevStreamer dropped Activate(bool) and moved its code into Start(). - Moved cStreamdevFilterStreamer to livefilter.[hc] - Return HTTP/1.1 compliant response headers plus some always useful headers - Return HTTP URL parameters ending with ".dlna.org" as response headers - Store HTTP URL parameters in a map - Support HTTP HEAD requests with external remuxer - Fixed always using priority 0 for HTTP HEAD requests - Start writer right after creating it - Corrected typos (thanks to Ville Skyttä) - Fixed compiler error in client/device.c with VDR < 1.7.22 (reported by Uwe@vdrportal) - Updated Italian translation (thanks to Diego Pierotto) - Added DeviceName() and DeviceType() to client device. The server IP and the number of the device used on the server are returned respectively. Have fun, Frank
