VDR ISDB-T support
by Christian Rodriguez 14 Sep '18

14 Sep '18

Hello everyone! I'm from Argentina, and up to last month I've been using VDR 1.7.262 with an ISDB-T USB adapter. It works really good, but the last week I've been trying to upgrade to VDR 2.2 and I've found a problem with ISDB-T cards: they are not supported. As I'm really interested in using VDR, I was digging inside the code and found a partial solution for this problem: as ISDBT is the same as DVBT, I've changed the way delivery system is queried. My changes are applied in a cloned repo at github: https://github.com/chrodriguez/vdr/commit/dadbca57c2dc55c1c53b4fa8f68b56728… That's the only change I've made. Now I can enjoy my fresh upgraded VDR installation!! I think a better refactor should be made, but for now it's working perfectly deployed as a docker container: https://registry.hub.docker.com/u/chrodriguez/vdr Thanks for this wonderfull project! -- Lic.

VDR locking up
by VDR User 29 Dec '17

29 Dec '17

Occasionally my signal drops out (haven't looked into it yet), and it causes VDR to completely freeze and become defunct/zombie. That locks up the drivers and the only way to resolve it is by rebooting. No core file gets created. Does anyone know how to prevent the lock-up in the first place? Could it be some kind of leak from the looping (see log clip below)? Here's a clip of the log when it happens. You can see how the log gets filled with the same repeating lines until it crashes. 2016.Oct.28|12:08:55 video: slow down video, duping frame 2016.Oct.28|12:08:55 video: decoder buffer empty, duping

TT S2 6400 Live View vs. Recorded Audio
by Richard Scobie 30 Nov '16

30 Nov '16

A number of channels on one mux have HE-AACv2 audio which I believe to be incorrectly tagged as AAC and as a result, viewing them live in VDR, the audio is mute. However, if they are recorded and played back in VDR, the audio plays fine. Can anyone explain the difference between the audio handling? System is VDR 2.2.0 and TT S2 6400 with 0.5.1 firmware and latest drivers. Regards, Richard
