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

vdr-plugin-IPTV not working with vdr-plugin-xvdr and XBMC
by Paulo Louro 27 Oct '13

27 Oct '13

Hello guys/girls, I have been trying to make iptv plugin to work with xvdr and xbmc, but i haven't manage to have any success. Xvdr is a plugin that needs a 100% complete TS to work, including PAT and PMT tables. By searching and "debuging" iptv and xvdr plugins code, I found out that the problem may be related with the filtering of PIDs, but i cant manage to understand how does the filtering system works. Is there any documentation or Howto example on how to program a plugin that implements cDevice interface on the right way? Some extra comments can be found on Pipelka github: https://github.com/pipelka/xbmc-addon-xvdr/issues/64 Regards,Louro

[ANNOUNCE] VDR developer version 2.0.3
by Klaus Schmidinger 23 Oct '13

23 Oct '13

VDR version 2.0.3 is now available at ftp://ftp.tvdr.de/vdr/vdr-2.0.3.tar.bz2 A 'diff' against the previous stable version is available at ftp://ftp.tvdr.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-2.0.2-2.0.3.diff MD5 checksums: dd8fb1642bdfa7feb0e9a8ae41e9ef2f vdr-2.0.3.tar.bz2 77b4785029926e2be2103f9a995ca879 vdr-2.0.2-2.0.3.diff This version fixes a few minor bugs that came up after the release of version 2.0.2. The changes since version 2.0.2: - Fixed asserting free disk space in the cutter. - No longer trying to delete old recordings in AssertFreeDiskSpace() if the given Priority is less than 1. - Fixed handling LIRC events in case repeated events are lost. - Fixed a possible crash when shutting down VDR while subtitles are being displayed (reported by Ville Skyttä). - cDevice::IsPrimaryDevice() now also checks whether the primary device actually has a decoder and returns false otherwise. This should improve device allocation on systems that are only used as a receiver and don't actually display anything. - Increased the value of MAXRETRIES to 20 to reduce the probability of disturbances in transfer mode. - All bonded devices (except for the master) now turn off their LNB power completely to avoid problems when receiving vertically polarized transponders (suggested by Manfred Völkel and Oliver Endriss). - Fixed cleaning up old EPG events in case no epg data file is given (reported by Dave Pickles). Have fun! Klaus

vdr --edit ignoring videodir
by Christian Tramnitz 27 Sep '13

27 Sep '13

When using vdr in non-deamon mode with "--edit" to just cut a recording it seems the videodir is being ignored and the output will be stored along the original path (of course with a % in front of the name). Is this behaviour intentional or a bug/missing feature? If its intentional I would suggest to mention it in the documentation/manual, but I would really like to see this as a feature as it may be beneficial to store the edited recording in a different place. Thanks, Christian

inputlirc with devices referenced by /dev/input/by-id/...
by Rainer Blickle 26 Sep '13

26 Sep '13

Hi, i have the following problem: With Ubuntu 12.04 inputlirc doesn't work anymore when using the symlics under /dev/input/by-id/... I have a Hama IR Remote, the symlinks for the remote are: /dev/input/by-id/usb-05a4_9881-event-kbd -> ../event2 /dev/input/by-id/usb-05a4_9881-if01-event-mouse -> ../event3 When using this links in /etc/default/inputlirc like the following ## EVENTS="/dev/input/by-id/usb-05a4_9881*" OPTIONS="-g -m 0 -c" ## then inputlirc doesn't start. With the following content: ## EVENTS="/dev/input/event2 /dev/input/event3" OPTIONS="-g -m 0 -c" ## inputlirc starts and works as expected. unfortunately the device (event2/3) changes from reboot to reboot. The upper version of the config (with by-id) has been worked under ubuntu 10.10 without any problem. I have tried to create "static" device names with the manual under " http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=HOW-TO:Configure_VRC-1100_remote_for_U…", but it didn't work. after restarting udev, there was no device "/dev/input/irremote0" is it a known bug that lirc doesn't work with by-id device names ? Have any other the same problem ? Regards, Rainer
