by Karim 19 May '16

19 May '16

Hi, I have an issue with TBS drivers (even with last version from april 2016). My remote is on serial COM1 and works fine, using Wheezy 7.7.0 x64 + lirc cvs from 2013. kernel : Linux 3.2.0-4-amd64 dmesg OK : [6.524401] lirc_serial: module is from the staging directory, the quality is unknown, you have been warned. [7.421128] lirc_serial: auto-detected active low receiver [7.421182] lirc_serial lirc_serial.0: lirc_dev: driver lirc_serial registered at minor = 0 As soon as I install TBS Linux drivers and reboot, lirc_serial doesn't load anymore. dmesg NOK : [7.650032] lirc_serial: module is from the staging directory, the quality is unknown, you have been warned. [7.650193] lirc_serial: disagrees about version of symbol lirc_register_driver [7.650197] lirc_serial: Unknown symbol lirc_register_driver (err -22) I need lirc_serial because I use Logitech Remote. Do you know how we could fix this issue ? Best regards.

Looking for DVB-T and DVB-S2 CI tuners
by Karim 19 May '16

19 May '16

Hi, I am using TBS PCI-E tuners (6922/6928/6280); hardware are OK, but drivers are very bad : they break my lirc_serial : [7.650032] lirc_serial: module is from the staging directory, the quality is unknown, you have been warned. [7.650193] lirc_serial: disagrees about version of symbol lirc_register_driver [7.650197] lirc_serial: Unknown symbol lirc_register_driver (err -22) So I am looking for tuners which are supported by vanilla Linux kernel, without patching or installing additional drivers : - For DVB-T : PCI, PCIE or USB, dual tuner **with high sensitivity**. - For DVB-S2 : PCI or PCIE, tuner with CI and another without, or a dual tuner with CI. I found a Digital Device "OctopusCI S2 PRO twin CI/DVBS2", but it seems that CI is buggy, and drivers are not in Linux kernel : http://www.digital-devices.eu/shop/en/professional-series/octopus-pcie-serie s/237/digital-devices-octopusci-s2-pro-twin-ci-and-twin-dvb-s2-tuner-forr-pc ie-slot Thanks for your advice. Regards. Karim

All H264 channels on 23.5E being marked as OBSOLETE
by Luboš Doležel 19 May '16

19 May '16

Hi, with one of the last VDR updates (I currently run version 2.2.0), all of my Czech H.264 channels are being marked as "OBSOLETE", even though they all play correctly. I use VDR as a streaming server only. Examples: Kino CS OBSOLETE;OBSOLETE M7 Group:12109:hM2O35S1:S23.5E:27500:3318=27:3328=cze@3:0:624,D96,500:5058:3:3221:0 CT 1 HD OBSOLETE;OBSOLETE Towercom:12363:vM2O35S1:S23.5E:29500:5011=27:5021=cze@3,5031=qaa@3,5111=cze@3;5091=cze@106:0;5141=cze:624,D96,666,500:4901:3:3234:0 All of the channels with this problem use the correct official frequencies, i.e. they are not in the process of being obsoleted. If I search for these channels again (I use scan-s2), I get the same results. Curiously, the same problem doesn't happen with MPEG-2 channels or with channels from other sat positions (e.g. BBC World News Europe HD at 19.2E). Any ideas? It is rather annoying :-( -- Luboš Doležel

[PATCH] Systemd watchdog support
by Marc Perrudin 02 May '16

02 May '16

Hi, Here is a patch I use to enable systemd watchdog support in VDR. It doesn't replace the internal watchdog, it just allow setting WatchdogSec directive in service file so if VDR watchdog is unable to exit, systemd take care of restarting it. I use this patch against VDR 2.2.0 without problem for few mouths (I set systemd watchdog to the same value than VDR watchdog to avoid interference between them). If you are interested to include it, I can see if it apply to dev branch, but there is only ~20 lines so it should apply without modification. Note that the first and last chunk are only systemd notifications about the current state of VDR and they can be removed if needed. Regards, Marc.
