[POLL] Is anybody actually using "device bonding" (aka "LNB sharing)?
by Klaus Schmidinger 03 Jan '17

03 Jan '17

Implementing "device bonding" (formerly known as "LNB sharing") has had quite an impact on VDR's dvbdevice.c, and made the code quite a bit more complex. Since this feature is really just an ugly hack, and it makes much more sense to provide each device with its own antenna cable, rather that connecting two or more devices to the same cable and having to limit them to the same polarization and frequency band, I'd very much like to remove that code from VDR's source. I would therefore like to know if there are any users who actually use this, and *really* need it. Klaus

vdr-convert updated, call for sample recordings
by Richard F 01 Jan '17

Happy New Year VDR users. There have been a few updates to the vdr-convert script + tools over at https://projects.vdr-developer.org/projects/vdr-convert/wiki in the last few weeks: * Added support for AC3/DTS streams in VDR1.x recordings (updated Genindex). Needs more compatibility testing * Added logging criticality to syslog messages (info, warn, err) * Optional email notification of events at criticality "err" * Fixes for very long program titles/subtitles and " in same To complete compatibility testing, I need a set of old .vdr recordings containing AC3/DTS/Other streams? and ideally dvb subtitles from a range of broadcasters,~100Mb samples are ideal. If you can help, please post them on a public fileshare, or point me to any existing files out there, I would appreciate it. If possible, please provide the matching "info.vdr" files as well. Thanks Richard
