Using a rasberry pi as vdr client
by Damien Bally 01 Feb '16

01 Feb '16

Hi I want to use raspberry pi as if it were a graphic card : I mean the dvb devices on a PC style server, IR receiver preferably on the server too (rpi and server in the same room) I don't know how to configure it, there is apparently 2 ways of doing it (from what I understood) + xineliboutput with vdr-fbfe (rpi plugin is closed source ? the one here : http://www.vdr-portal.de/board18-vdr-hardware/board98-arm-co/118588-rasperr…) + streamdev and rpihddevice (which additional plugins ?) The second way seems to be more complicated to configure, and I'm not sure it suits my project, but the rpihddevice is well maintained though. The first solution is perhaps much straightforward and includes a media player (?) Could you tell me more please ? Damien

xmltv2vdr.pl
by Dominic Evans 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
