The HDTV decoder card in PCI format will be first used for the Reelbox Avantgarde (based on a Mini-ITX-PC). The usage in the NetCeiver itself in a PC-less combo is planned, but I don't think a vdr can run on that platform without serious restrictions. For example, the NetCeiver with its current firmware has no real DVB-API, as the CPU has nothing to do with the TS streaming, it only controls the tuners. The rest (filtering and network encapsulation) is done in the hardware. So it will be more a small STB application without bells and whistles,. But the chances are high that the HD card (running with the Micronas DeCypher) will be seperately available. As the Reelbox uses vdr, Linux drivers for the HD card and the NetCeiver (a DVB-API emulation and a vdr plugin with more features) will be there from the start. Is there any information regarding availability or pricing on the HDTV PCI card ? I have been waiting a long time for an HD MPEG-2/4 decoder with HDMI and this sounds promising :-) Thanks, Brian ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr

If you remeber the thread almost 2 years ago, "OSD language settings stored as language code (was: i18n.c sorted)" http://linvdr.org/mailinglists/vdr/2005/11/msg00646.html at that time you first found it a good idea, then postponed it for 1.5.x. Right after that I also developed a working gettext patch based on this one, and of course, Alexander Riedel's UTF8-patch as it looked like at that time. Now you integrated utf8/freetype in vanilla VDR yourself, and from what I've read (haven't tried or looked at the code yet) it seems you used at least parts of that UTF8 ideas. What plans do you have about gettext, how long would that run be? Would it make sense if I'd rework my gettext patch based on the current VDR developer version in the near future (I developed it exactly having in mind your sketched ideas fom that time "There would be one file for each language in VDR itself, and each plugin would also have its own set of language files. There will also be a way of converting the exiting i18n files into the new format." ). Interested (in the next weeks, not right now...)?

So let's all call them and tell them about it. The more people call and complain, the better the chances things get fixed (at least that's what I'd hope for ;-). Building workarounds into receivers is certainly not the right way to go (even though it is, of course, a quick fix and may be sufficient for some users).

Well, this might cause problems on channels that do adhere to the
standard and actually broadcast their EPG data in ISO6937.
Maybe somebody should call Premiere and complain to them. After all,
it's them who are not following the standard ;-)

[vdr] [vdr-1.5.5][Patch] inc/dec chara cter not working for ÄÖÜ in non-UTF8
Hi Klaus,
Found a bug in VDR-1.5.5 in non-UTF8 mode. In any text field, when the
cursor is on an uppercase non-ASCII character like ÄÖÜ, the up/down key
jumps directly to A.
The core problem is that the non-UTF8 version of Utf8ToArray
sign-extends chars to uints, turning the ä of the allowed chars into
0xFFE4, while the towlower() of the edit control changes the Ä into
0x00E4, which is then not in the list of allowed characters.
Lowercase works, since here everything stays sign-extended.
The attached patch changes Utf8ToArray to properly extend chars as unsigned.
Cheers,
Udo

Re: [vdr] Xineliboutput and Lirc forwarding
err yeah, I'm an idiot. I got the two columns the wrong way around in the remote.conf. Had the lirc remote calls in the left hand one and the vdr commands to call in the left. Once I sorted that out I got confused that for every key press I made it did two. That I realised was because whilst vdr-sxfe was passing the lirc command, vdr was also capturing it from /dev/lircd itself. I solved this by starting vdr with --lirc=/dev/null if anyone knows a better way let me know but it works so I'm happy.

[vdr] Premiere UTF-8 fix for VDR 1.5.1+
Hi all,
Here is a small patch for all Premiere watchers who want to use UTF-8
encoding.
The patch simply changes the default character set that is used when
no encoding is broadcasted.
