Ukrainian translation for vdr-webvideo plugin

YUP — 2013-06-10T21:28:38

Hi Antti,

Could you please add Ukrainian translation to vdr-webvideo plugin? I
attached po file. BTW, playing youtube video works pretty well, I
don't have to use xbmc for it, many thanks for that!

Regards,

Yarema (Knedlyk)

[Announce] remotetimers / remoteosd / svdrposd / epgsync/svdrpservice 1.0.0

Frank Schmirler — 2013-06-07T21:12:41

Hi,

I just released the 1.0.0 versions of the following client server plugins at
http://vdr.schmirler.de:

remotetimers
- add timers on server
- move timers between client and server
- multi-user timer and recordings menu
- extended recordings menu with server side cutting, renaming and moving
recordings
- many more...

remoteosd
- access to server OSD menu

svdrposd
- installation on server
- required by remoteosd to gain access to the menu contents

epgsync
- import server EPG

svdrpservice
- handles connections to server for the plugins mentioned above

These are all maintenance releases. No important new features, just adaptions
to current VDR (API changes, new Makefiles). Compatibility with VDR < 1.7.36
has been dropped. For details please see the HISTORY files on my website.

Have fun,
Frank

Signal problem

ThE-GuRu — 2013-06-05T06:39:39

Hi, i'm trying vdr-2.0.2 with my SkystarHD (not HD2) and in certain channels
i have a weak signal problem. I've tried with kernel driver (I'm using Mint
14-x64with kernel 3.5.0-17) and also with latest dvb driver but nothing is
changed. With my old disk Ubuntu 10.04 and vdr 1.7.21 I have no problem,
what can be the problem???

Bye!

 

P.s.: i've also 1 Tevii and Mystique pci card but if i try with HD channels

markad : compilation issue

Karim — 2013-06-02T15:45:59

Hi,
I can't compil markad on my vdrbox (Debian Wheezy x94).

Jose Alberto Reguero — 2013-05-28T15:16:18

I am trying to play vdr recordings with a raspberry pi and the not edited 
recording play well, but a edited recording don't play. Is there are any 
differences between a not edited recording and a edited one?
The recordings are made with vdr 2.0.

Thanks.

Converting videos into vdr TS format

Laurence Abbott — 2013-05-27T12:48:11

Hi,

Has anyone worked out a simple way of converting, e.g. part of a DVD
or any miscellaneous video into an MPEG-TS that vdr is happy to play?
I had a bit of a play with ffmpeg and mencooder but never managed to
generate something that vdr would play!

Cheers,

Laz

Inserting still images into VDR recordings

Tobi — 2013-05-26T19:58:55

Hi!

Does anybody know a tool which allows to insert still images at a specific
position for a specific duration in a VDR TS recording?

e.g. I would like to fill in missing frames that happened due to recording
errors.

bye,

Tobias

[ANNOUNCE] VDR version 2.0.2 released

Klaus Schmidinger — 2013-05-20T09:29:11

VDR version 2.0.2 is now available at

      ftp://ftp.tvdr.de/vdr/vdr-2.0.2.tar.bz2

A 'diff' against the previous stable version is available at

      ftp://ftp.tvdr.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-2.0.1-2.0.2.diff

MD5 checksums:

5359cae7e14671cc9a3c690d45d8e0a2  vdr-2.0.2.tar.bz2
f4dfc7e6e9170cf56a10b1a2183e84a3  vdr-2.0.1-2.0.2.diff

This version fixes a few minor bugs that came up after the release of
version 2.0.1.


The changes since version 2.0.1:

- Fixed multiple occurrences of the same directory in the recordings list in case there
   are directories that only differ in non-alphanumeric characters (was broken by
   "Fixed selecting the last replayed recording in the Recordings menu in case there
   are folders and plain recordings with names that differ only in non-alphanumeric
   characters" in version 1.7.36).
- Fixed displaying the frame number when setting an editing mark (thanks to Thomas
   Günther).
- Fixed no longer generating any editing marks if the edited recording results in just
   one single sequence (reported by Halim Sahin).
- Fixed an error message when parsing SCR values in diseqc.conf.
- Fixed an unexpected RCS version tag in the newplugin script.
- Fixed an endless loop in the DrawEllipse() functions for very small ellipses (reported
   by Stefan Braun).
- Fixed a crash in the LCARS skin's main menu in case there is no current channel
   (reported by Dominique Dumont).

Have fun!

vdr segfault while drawing menu

Dominique Dumont — 2013-05-18T15:49:59

Hello

I'm using vdr 2.0.1 on Debian (with Debian package) and xineliboutput (also provided by Debian).

I can connect xine on vdr, but once I hit 'ESC' to get the main menu, vdr segfaults.

Here's the backtrace:

Core was generated by `/usr/bin/vdr -v /mnt/video2/vdr -c /var/lib/vdr -L /usr/lib/vdr/plugins -r /usr'.
Program terminated with signal 11, Segmentation fault.

Note that I've found this message in my logs:

[xine..put] cXinelibOsd::CanHandleAreas(): Device does not support ARGB

Since the theme colors looks like they are specified as ARGB, this may hint at a problem there.

Feel free to get back to me if you need further information.

All the best

noepg

Marx — 2013-05-09T06:49:52

I'm trying to configure noepg headless. Some time ago I had GUI and 
configured noepeg, but now it's headless and after channels update I 
need to configure it again.

While there is no documentation, I've found thread describing it:
http://www.vdr-portal.de/board16-video-disk-recorder/board55-vdr-plugins/p961213-noepg-konfiguration/

Hovewer I use DVB-T and so channels have format like V-0-3588-1 
V-0-2916-1 V-0-2917-1 V-0-3589-1 V-0-2805-1 V-0-3700-1

My channels list doesn't contain anything like 3588, 2916 etc so I don't 
know how to manually build this list.

I'm attaching at the end my channels.conf.

I tried to add all the suggestions, I got for vdrpbd 0.0.1 and created a new 
release.

This one comes with a template for vdrpbd.conf and even has a man page to 
describe the settings (man vdrpbd.conf).

Not it is also possible to customize the time range and the amount of keypresses 
for the emergency reboot feature (see vdrpbd.conf).

Please tell me if you still miss something.

Download here:

Yours

Manuel

Problems with VDSB, how to automate in SYSLOG

Brian-Imap — 2013-04-27T08:50:39

Hi,
on some channels I get Video Data Stream Broken messages, not sure quite 
what triggers them yet.
They continue till the recording has finished.

I have switched off the emergency exit when VDSB occurs,  two reasons why:

1. It never cures the problem
2. Occasionally I get a single VDSB written when tuning to certain 
channels, the emergency exit
     would happen, but after the restart I would get a single VDSB again 
when the channel was tuned,
    ending up in a loop, as the VDR restart is not curing the problem.

So, I wanted to know if anyone has any code or rules for rsyslog to 
identify multiple VDSB messages
so I could trigger other actions. For example a reboot of the PC or 
maybe a driver load/unload.
I know I could extend the VDR start script to unload/load the DVB 
drivers after a VDR exit too.

Anyone have other suggestions maybe?

Cheers Brian

ERROR: video data stream broken with DVB-T,AVC and ITE9135 device?

Michael Smith — 2013-04-21T16:11:40

Hi,

I've switched from DVB-S to DVB-T usb dongle with ITE9135 chipset and I'm
trying to record an AVC channel.
I'm using VDR-1.7.27.

Every thing OK when I use VDR with streamdev plugin. In fact I've set my
system to stream channels for more than 10 days. But after I create a timer
to record my stream, VDR gives following messages and jumps out.

ERROR: video data stream broken
initiating emergency exit
emergency exit requested - shutting down

I'm sure signal is fine, as I said there is no problem with streamdev. Also
I tried EPGScanTimeout=0 and EmergencyExit=0. Although it prevents VDR to
jump out, but nothing is recorded.

I've tested VDR-1.7.37 and problem persists.

Any idea?

Thanks.
Mike Smith.

RFC: one or many positioners?

Klaus Schmidinger — 2013-04-21T12:54:13

I'm currently implementing support for steerable dishes, loosely based
on https://linuxtv.org/patch/12911. In doing so, I'm defining a virtual
base class cPositioner, which defines all the functions necessary to
control the positioner. An implementation of cDiseqcPositioner will
allow control of "DiSEqC 1.2" and "USALS" motors. A plugin can derive
from cPositioner and implement its very own way of controlling a
positioner (like through a serial or USB port or whatever).

The question I have now is: will it be enough to have *one* single positioner
in any given setup, or are there actually users who have more than one
positioner?
Supporting only a single positioner (as is done in the aforementioned patch)
of course simplifies things quite a bit. So I wouldn't want to add this
level of complexity unless there is a real need for it.

Any opinions?

Klaus

VDPAU for AMD

Tony Houghton — 2013-04-19T13:22:39

Anybody seen this?

<http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=amd_opensource_uvd&num=1>

I think it's great news, at last there will be decent hardware
acceleration for AMD graphics, on a fully open source stack, and
without front-ends needing to use a new API. I know there was
already Intel and VAAPI, but that hasn't caught on as well as VDPAU for
some reason.

difference between "g++ -pthread" and "g++ -lpthread"

Lars Hanisch — 2013-04-14T15:16:13

Hi,

 I'm hunting some race condition in my plugins which produce a segfault in libc or libavahi (still searching the right
packages with debug symbols, race condition may be related to having to dbus-mainloops in dbus2vdr and avahi4vdr, but I
don't know yet).
 While investigating this I found something about the option "-pthread" of g++.

 According to g++'s manpage this will set the right options for the preprocessor and compiler so the program can use the
pthreads lib. Especially it will set -D_REENTRANT and -lpthread etc.

 vdr seems only to use -lpthread and no other pthread-specific options.

 I'm not an expert on this topic, so I would like to know if someone can shed some light on this.
 Makefile may than be patched with:

==========
--- a/Makefile
+++ b/Makefile
< at >< at > -14,12 +14,12 < at >< at >
 CFLAGS   ?= -g -O3 -Wall

 CXX      ?= g++
-CXXFLAGS ?= -g -O3 -Wall -Werror=overloaded-virtual -Wno-parentheses
+CXXFLAGS ?= -g -O3 -Wall -Werror=overloaded-virtual -Wno-parentheses -pthread

 CDEFINES  = -D_GNU_SOURCE
 CDEFINES += -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_LARGEFILE64_SOURCE

-LIBS      = -ljpeg -lpthread -ldl -lcap -lrt $(shell pkg-config --libs freetype2 fontconfig)
+LIBS      = -ljpeg -ldl -lcap -lrt $(shell pkg-config --libs freetype2 fontconfig)
 INCLUDES ?= $(shell pkg-config --cflags freetype2 fontconfig)

 # Directories:
==========

 Recompiled vdr and plugins do run as before (haven't solved my segfault).

 What do you think?

Lars.

message. These are the changes since the last community edition version
published in the vdr-portal.de forum:

2013-04-14: Version 0.0.4

- at least for now, this version is no longer hosted at
vdr-developer.org  as the old project (after ver. 0.0.1) still seems to
be abandoned, check the README file for the links
- switched to ScaleVideo API introduced with vdr-1.7.33 and dropped old
patch
- switched MAkefile to new style introduced with vdr-1.7.34
- integrated extra plugin themes found in the community edition thread
at vdr-portal.de
- updated anthra_1280 theme with the one from "pc_medusa" at vdr-portal.de
- added romanian translation
- added nOpacity_1920_darkblue theme contributed by "Saman" at vdr-portal.de
- added setup option to simulate returning back to the menu position
where yaepghd was entered from, adapted from a patch contributed by
"Saman" at vdr-portal.de



For now, the code is hosted here:
https://github.com/lucianm/vdr-plugin-yaepghd

      ftp://ftp.tvdr.de/vdr/vdr-2.0.1.tar.bz2

A 'diff' against the previous developer version is available at

      ftp://ftp.tvdr.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-2.0.0-2.0.1.diff

MD5 checksums:

e1b7a76c57c96300829dccd39eb20e7d  vdr-2.0.1.tar.bz2
fca54c4da4e9d9dd05f917b04a2eecf4  vdr-2.0.0-2.0.1.diff

This version fixes a few minor bugs that came up after the release of
version 2.0.0. It also allows compilation of VDR with older versions of
the DVB API.


The changes since version 2.0.0:

- Fixed initializing cDevice::keepTracks.
- Fixed an endless loop in cTextWrapper::Set() in case the given Width is smaller than
   one character (reported by Stefan Braun).
- Added definitions for older DVB API versions, back until 5.0 (based on a patch from
   Udo Richter).
- Fixed handling '/' and '~' in recording file names in case DirectoryEncoding is
   used (thanks to Lars Hanisch).
- Changed cThread::SetIOPriority() from "best effort class" to "idle class" in order to
   improve overall performance when an editing process is running (thanks to Jochen
   Dolze).
- Fixed aspect ratio and position of scaled video in the dvbhddevice plugin.

Have fun!

Klaus
