[vdr] request for sources.conf enhancement

2007-01-29 Thread Markus Hahn
Hi there 
Im implement nit filter in (reel) channelscan.
For this, it would nice to have  a litle enhancement of  sources.conf 

Nowdays it locks like this:

SourceString   Description


Could we improve this to 

SourceString   Description, startFrequency,sRate, .

Re: [vdr] Safer diseqc setup ?

2007-01-29 Thread Markus Hahn
Hi Grégoire 
There is a Diseqc command to reset (all) LNBs  :

[E0 00 00] 

maybe it could send in some cases.

 In fact it only tune to channels on Astra 19.2E but no Hotbird 13.0E
 neither Astra 28.2E.
 
 I stop vdr and restart :
 
 Jan 26 19:09:49 ar vdr: [15712] frontend 0 timed out while tuning to channel 
 254, tp 112399
 
 Then I quit VDR and reload the driver : it then tune without any
 problem, directly.
 
 Is there a way to achieve this without reloading the driver ?

I need to check if vdr is sending something that is not suposed to.
Note that  vdr works for channels on LNB1 if you disable diseqc in the

AW: [vdr] Problems receiving couple of german channels DVB-S

2007-01-29 Thread martin
Okay, 

we need to put then an eye on your hardware setup - this is a problem before
the DVB-S cards. You where talking about 3 DVB-S cards, but how many LNB's
do you have? How have you wired the system? We have: horizontal / vertical
polarization and then lower and upper band! This makes 2x2 = 4 possible
areas. So, if you go with more than 2 cards - 3 or 4 or more, you need a
quad LNB with maybe some additional hardware.

Hello list,

 I have problems receiving some channels (ARD, ZDF,N3, DMAX) in good
 quality. Receiving other channels (SAT.1, RTL, Pro7, Das Vierte) works
 just fine.

I've tried using szap to see if I can find the problem in one of my
DVB-S cards. Unfortunately, no matter which card I use, I have bad
reception for a couple of channels, and good reception for others.

Here is an excerpt from the szap log:

Bad reception (ZDF):

I have four cables going from my LNB to a multiswitch. Three cables
go from the multiswitch to the DVB-S cards.

If any of the four cables going to the Multiswitch were wrong,
wouldn't the channels not work at all? I've looked thru the different
channel settings, but could not find anything obvious, which would
differentiate the good and the bad channels ...

Any ideas what else I can test?

Thanks.

A few months ago I have received a patch that adapts VDR to the Mac from
Andreas Thiede (a.thiede at berlin dot de), but haven't had time to really
look into it yet (shame on me - I'm permanently out of time...).
Don't know if he's working with any of you. Anyway, if this is supposed
to go into the main VDR source one day, it might be best if you join forces
and agree on common solution. I would appreciate if the impact on the VDR
source could be kept to a minimum by putting everything as far as possible
into a separate compat.[hc] and avoiding tons of #ifdef __APPLE__ all over the

I don't believe it is possible to switch between left and right channel
in a digital audio track (at least not without taking the data apart
and reassembling it - which is beyond VDR).

Okay .. but you still can reduce your system down to one DVB-S card .. 

So, what do you plan to prove that your multiswitch is not broken?
What do you do to doublecheck, that your sat dish is correctly set up?

 Get rid of any multiswitch - so just one LNB directly connected to one

 card. No other card in the system. Do you still see the problems?

IIRC, unfortunately, this won't work, as far as I understand the LNB.
It is one of those 4-connector (I never know whether these are the
Quad LNBs or Quattro LNBs) LNBs that NEEDS a multiswitch.

Or is my knowledge wrong on the above?

 And BTW: kyrill moved my SAT dish .. so, why are you sure, that
 your dish is rocket solid?

We have had the problems for a long time ... :-)

Martin,

you are amazing. You put very much work into helping me. I guess one
day, I will have to buy you a beer or two :-)

 Pro7, Sat1 comes Vertical
 ZDF,ARD,RTL comes horizontal.
 
 If this is a pattern, can it be that you LNB is twisted? So H/V is not
 perfectly set up?

Unfortunately, this is not the case. As written in one of my many
messages, EinsPlus can be received without a problem. And if I
understand the information in the channels.conf correct, it comes
Horizontal as well. And RTL is looking good as well ...

Damn, there has to be a pattern/reason

 Hi Tero,

 I've made patches for VDR 1.4.5 and few plugins (Subtitles, streamdev and
 xineliboutput, softdevice) to run them on Mac OS X (10.4.8 Intel tested)

 Funny, a friend, Stefan Rieke and me are also working on getting VDR to
 run on Mac OS X. We have VDR 1.4.0 running on OS X 10.3.9 and 10.4.8,
 together with a few plugins.
 I think we are a bit more advanced than you, we have a special version
 of the softdevice which has native audio and video Mac OS X support (the
 video is displayed via OpenGL), and a very alpha version of an
 mminput-plugin, which makes it possible to use USB DVB devices on Mac OS
 X together with the VDR.
 However after a short look you patches to VDR seem to be cleaner than
 ours ;-)
 
 Hi Martin,
 
 Well this is good news as I was hopingd that someone could continue
 developing this as personally I don't have too much spare time. I started
 this just to test what is required to get VDR even compiled. Because it
 wasn't so much, I continued also with few plugins to get also video out and
 used Xineliboutput for it.
 
 If there's any use of my patches please use them. I can provide at least
 test support for Mac-VDR.

Unfortunately we also don't have lots of spare time, that is why the
developing has stalled in the past time.
On the other hand, we are almost there... We can watch live-tv, record,
playback and also time-shifting works. But there are still things to be
done, it is not as stable as it should be, and the build process is
difficult and almost completely undocumented (especially for the
mminput-plugin)

 
 We planned to publish our work some time ago, but up to now we delayed
 it again and again...
 Maybe we can join our efforts? If you are interested, you (or anyone
 else...) can find our special softdevice version at

 http://butler.physik.uni-mainz.de/~wache/softdevice-macosx.tbz

 We developed it using a PowerPCs, so there might be some endian problems
 on Intel Systems. The package also contains short instructions how to
 build the softdevice and ffmpeg.
 
 I tried the softdevice plugin but it failed on shmget. I have larger shm
 values in /etc/rc than in the ReadMe,

Yes, that should be fine...

 any ideas what could be the problem:
 
 Vdr start output:
 [softdevice] initializing Plugin
 [softdevice] Initializing Video Out
 [softdevice] ffmpeg build(3349248)
 cShmVideoOut: Got ctl_shmid 65536 shm ctl!
 [softdevice] Subplugin successfully opend
 [softdevice] Video Out seems to be OK
 [softdevice] Initializing Audio Out
 [softdevice] No alsa support compiled in. Using dummy-audio
 [softdevice] Audio out seems to be OK
 [softdevice] A/V devices initialized, now initializing MPEG2 Decoder
 
 Client start output:

 Finished Quartz constructor

 Check if the Vdr is running with the softdevice and the option -vo shm:!
 [vout-quartz] cQuartzVideoOut destructor
 [vout-quartz] RmShmMemory pic 655361 osd 655362
 dsyslog:[VideoOut]: Good bye
 
 
Hmm, you can check with ipcs if the shared memory block has properly
been created, has the correct Id (it should be the one in shm-common.h),
and has the correct size. If you end the vdr, the block won't be
deleted, so you may try to delete the shared memory block and let vdr
create a new one. Did you make sure that you have a clean build (make
clean doesn't delete all the files...)?

Bye,
Martin

which is pretty close to yours, it works well for ONE card, but for
example if I start to reccord 
SSR-Espace 2;Radio Suisse 
Romande:12382:hC34:S19.2E:27500:0:218:0:0:928:318:8500:0

I then can only tune to Hotbird... if I stop the reccording, no change,
still only Hotbird.

Thank for your email, and happy VDR :-)

Re: [vdr] Problems receiving couple of german channels DVB-S

2007-01-29 Thread Peer Oliver Schmidt

Good morning martin,

Any obstacles in the way, like trees or so? There is something that’s called
Fresnel zone, which can be painful.


It is possible that some trees are in the way, but I'd say the house is
far enough away, and the dish is high enough. And would an obstacle
create problems only on some channels and not others?


Any oscillating frequencies in your PC that may interfere the ~1GHz ZF
signal?


Well, it is regular PC with most stuff on board, except graphics card
and the three DVB-S boards.
