Re: [vdr] Cheapest FF card?

   Do you by any chance mean to say that I can buy a budget card and still 
 run vdr? 

Yes, using softdevice, xine, xineliboutput or a dxr3. You should look at
these plugins to see which one is more suitable to you.

That is also okay by me. Which card do you recommend?

It all depends on what you need, prefer, have available.
Me, I'm using a skystar 2 and a dxr3. I'm also using the xine plugin for
remote viewing (i.e. viewing tv on my laptop).

 
   Also I wish to view pay channels with it.

That's not (officially) possible with a budget card.

 
   Please also mention the price and from where I can get it.

Well, I bought both the skystar2 and the dxr3 on ebay. IIRC ~40€ for a
new skystar2 (plus shipping) and 10€ for a second hand dxr3.
Using softdevice or xine you can use vdr with just a budget card.

Bye

 Why not? Techotrend have CI interface for own budget card.
 

My idea is to interface it externally. I have bought a CF card reader. PMI but 
what has CF got to do with CI? 

Thanks. Am I barking up the wrong tree by any chance?

My idea is to interface things using the PCI and USB bus. I plug in a USB CF 
card reader, decrypt the data from CAM and talk to the budget card using the 
PCI bus.

Does it make sense or nonsense?

Please trash me if I am talking bullshit. ;-)

Partial nonsense ;-))

CF has nothing to do with CI and smartcards.
You need a CI adapter an an CAM adapter card for the
smartcard.

Alternatively there are standalone smartcard readers
(USB/serial).
But these are not working without some legally doubtfull
patches/plugins of VDR.
Beside the skipping of CI and CAM (which is patent
violaton but not realy illegal) these can use illegal software keys, which
is illegal in most of the world.
Therefore nobody here on the list will give you any
added detailes.

The official method is bying a CI adapter and CAM
card for your DVB card.
Even this is a violation of some provider rules as
it's not certified by them.

Re: [vdr] vdradmin-am and autotimer

Hello,

 If I use the search box on the bottom, left, vdradmin-am 3.4.7b lists the
 show I want.  If I click AutoTimer, type in the same search pattern (i.e.
 Star Trek Next Generation), enable Title, Subtitle, Description and then
 hit Test, nothing is listed.
 
 What am I missing here?  Is there a plug-in needed on vdr to make this
 work?

Do you have enabled the autotimer on the settings page?

Re: [vdr] DVD plugin - unsupported????????

2006-10-18 Thread Simon Baxter

Hello.

Can anyone help me with where to get support for this plugin?

It still seems to partially work in VDR-1.4.1 - but I don't know where to 
turn.


Are people afraid to respond because of CSS or something???


Thanks

Could someone please confirm something for me?

Can you run the DVD plugin with VDR debugging running with various DVDs, 
and tell me if you're seeing these messages ?

Is there any support for the DVD plugin?

The sourceforge site forums seem to be empty as well !

It's been several months - and I never had a reply to this but it's 
still happening.


I've rebuilt several times - but it's still the same.  The dvd plugin 
works fine, except intermittently the sound disappears for about a 
second at the end of a scene.  With debugging running I get these 
messages when the sound disappears:

Each time the sound disappears, I get another 3-lines as per above.  If 
it's relevant, I'm using vdr-1.4.1 with vdr-xine-0.7.9.



Any clues??

I've had this problem for ages and never found any resolution to it as 
it's really only a problem with DVDs that have a lot of chapters.


When it get towards the end of a chapter, the sound disappears.  The 
video is still fine, but the sound stops.


Are there any debugs I can run to get more info out of dvd-plugin?
