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.

Tuners only handling some combinations of channel configs
by Richard F 24 Apr '16

Hello all, As an FYI: My HD tuner (DVB-T2 290e) was only tuning some combinations of HD channels - I was trying to record 2 HD channels on the same multiplex and could only record one. No error was produced by VDR or in the kernel log, just that nothing happened, the original channel kept being recorded. To cut a long story short, I found that in channels.conf some channels were configured as B8S1P0M256 But some were : B8S1P0 (i.e. no modulation specified) Basically if VDR tried to tune both of these types at the same time, it failed as above. However, individually it could tune to both types. Once I set them all with B8S1P0M256, I managed to get 4 HD channels simultaneously :-) Perhaps Klaus could confirm - Is this a bug/feature, is the modulation type mandatory, recommended, or best to not configure and let VDR determine when running? Thanks
