MythTV seems to have added support: http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/ticket/2811 Hmmm. I worked out the scheme using dvbsnoop last night, then decided it couldn't possibly be so simple. Seems I was right after all... The data is transmitted in the EIT. Each entry has zero, 1 or 2 Content Identifier Descriptors, with table ID 0x76. The format of this descriptor seems to be: Descriptor tag, 8 bits (always 0x76) Descriptor length, 8 bits crid_type, 6 bits crid_location, 2 bits (always seems to be 00) crid_len, 8 bits crid_data, crid_len bytes. If crid_type = 0x31 then crid_data contains the program ID, which I think is supposed to uniquely identify the programme irrespective of repeats etc. If crid_type = 0x32 then crid_data contains the series ID, which should be the same across all episodes of a series. The series ID is sometimes omitted if the programme is a one-off. I'm not sure just how unique these identifiers are supposed to be; the series identifiers are generally 5-digit numbers or 6-character alpha strings preceded by /, while the program ID seems to have the episode number appended. On Sandy Heath I only see this data on the BBC, 4 and sky channels, not ITV. Dave ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr

Hi everbody,
I also tried both patches together and this did also not fix the
problem with the
translation of Volume out of lcdproc-Plugin.
Please try the attached patch (against plain VDR 1.5.3).
There was still a problem in cCharSetConv::Convert() in case
an empty string was given.

When I do
const char *font_name = sans-serif;
FcInit();
FcPattern *fc_pattern = FcNameParse((FcChar8 *)font_name);
While fontconfig is usually configured to ignore bitmap fonts anyway, I
think you should enforce that by putting this call here:
FcPatternAddBool(fc_pattern, FC_SCALABLE, FcTrue);
Thanks.
FcConfigSubstitute(0, fc_pattern, FcMatchPattern);
FcDefaultSubstitute(fc_pattern);
fc_pattern = FcFontMatch(0, fc_pattern, 0);
FcChar8 *s;
FcPatternGetString(fc_pattern, FC_FILE, 0, s);
fprintf(stderr, font '%s'\n, s);//XXX
free(fc_pattern);
Use FcPatternDestroy(fc_pattern) instead, using free() here causes an
error for me.
FcFini();
it prints
font '/usr/share/fonts/truetype/arial.ttf'
which looks good. However, when I use courier instead of sans-serif, I
get
font '/usr/share/fonts/URW/n022003l.pfb'
which is not a truetype font and therefore can't be used with VDR's font
rendering.
Hmm... AFAIK it is scalable and freetype can use it. Or is there some
another restriction regarding VDR font rendering?
Well, I was wrong here. I assumed that Freetype could only handle *.ttf
files, but I've explicitly tried /usr/share/fonts/URW/n022003l.pfb now
and it works just fine.
Is there a way to make fontconfig only return truetype fonts?
Also: is there a way to get a list of available truetype fonts from
fontconfig? That's what would be needed to allow the user to select
a desired font in VDR's Setup/OSD menu.
Gathering from
http://www.xemacs.org/Documentation/packages/html/fontconfig_3.html , it
can be done with something like this:
// what info is requested:
FcObjectSet *os = FcObjectSetBuild(FC_FAMILY, NULL);
// what fonts are requested:
FcPattern *pat = FcPatternBuild(NULL, FC_SCALABLE, FcTypeBool, FcTrue,
NULL);
FcFontSet* fontset = FcFontList(0, pat, os);
FcObjectSetDestroy(os);
FcPatternDestroy(pat);
for (int i = 0; i fontset-nfont ; i++) {
FcChar8 *t;
FcPatternGetString(fontset-fonts[i], FC_FAMILY, 0, t);
fprintf(stderr, font '%s'\n, t);
}
FcFontSetDestroy(fontset);
Thanks, I'll give this a shot.

Re: [vdr] Configuring vdr-sxfe to use a single vdr backend for recordings/dvb cards
On Wed, 2007-06-13 at 19:16 +0100, Alasdair Campbell wrote: Is it possible to have one of the VDR 'servers/instances' to be running on one of the clients rather than the main server pc? Yes. Then you don't need the -D option. The exact same setup except Client2 has an instance of VDR running in the background with 1 dvb card saving files to the server's /video mounted over nfs. Ideally all Clients + Master VDR Server will see channels on Client 2's satellite feed and be able to register timers on that server. This is more complicated :) I think you need to set every timer manually to the system where it is supposed to be recorded. Timersync won't work as it disables all recording at client(s). Using timersync and enabling recording at the client won't work if you use streamdev: both systems will see the same channels and would record the same timers in paraller. Maybe something like this might work: VDR1: (2x DVB-?): streamdev-server, streamdev-client connected to VDR2 VDR2: (1x DVB-S): streamdev-server, streamdev-client connected to VDR1 VDR3: (no DVB): 2 instances of streamdev-client: one connected to VDR1 and another to VDR2. Note that circular streamdev setup doesn't work without patching ( http://www.vdr-developer.org/mantisbt/view.php?id=198 ) If there was a way for PCI buses to traverse networks, then the location of the 3rd card wouldn't be an issue, but I don't believe that's possible... No, but transferring the device interface (/dev/dvb/...) over network is possible with something like nbd (network block device). I think I saw similar redirector for DVB devices few years ago: http://linuxtv.org/mailinglists/linux-dvb/2004/08-2004/msg00326.html But it seems quite old and unmaintained. - Petri ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
