Which exactly version of patch did you use? What was the output of patching? 
Was there any rejects? Did you try to patch vanilla version of vdr? Without 
these basic information people could only guess what happened in your vdr.

For me now it works without problem (latest patch is in 
http://www.linuxtv.org/pipermail/vdr/2010-January/022017.html).

Re: [vdr] 1.7.12 w/ FF card on old Linux + S2API wrapper

 If you're using a v4l tree that works with both your kernel and the
 S2API wrapper, then you may want to try a VDR version prior to the FF
 specific stuff being moved into a plugin and see if you have any
 better luck.  I could be wrong but I think the FF change may not be
 100% yet.

Hm, 1.7.10 showed greater success (i.e. last version before
dvbsddevice) ... the DVB-C FF worked fine - video and OSD rendered OK,
but the DVB-T card than refused to tune to anything at all.

Ah well, 1.4.7 works OK for me so I'll just hang on until I can justify
updating the entire setup for HDMI.

Re: [vdr] Tuning USB

2010-02-04 Thread Markus Fritsche
Hello,

further investigation shows that it only affects some channels, and
only if recording. Meaning: every channel is fine when streamed, some
are also recorded, others just cause the vdr process to restart while
recording.

Any pointers? Better antenna?

 I'm not sure this is the right mailing list for your question, since
 it's more to do with USB then VDR.  However, maybe the source of your
 problem is with the address bandwidth being used by your USB
 harddrive, there isn't enough to handle everything, thus
 bottlenecking.  That's just an idea but it's easily tested but moving
 one of your devices to another USB hub, using a networked harddrive
 for storage, or something like that.  If it magically works again,
 then you know putting everything on the same USB hub is a problem.

Re: [vdr] Tuning USB

2010-02-04 Thread Markus Fritsche
Hello All,

The issue was not related to USB whatsoever - my channels.conf was the issue.

I created it with scan from the dvb-utils package. Turns out that
scan -o vdr outputs the channel frequency in kHz, where vdr expects
it in Hz. Obviously, the vdr still tunes but the recording part is
baffled.

Refer also too: http://www.vdr-portal.de/board/thread.php?threadid=88654

Best regards,
  Markus

Glad you discovered the real source of your problem.  However, I just
want to note that some channels use significantly more bitrate and
thus require more bandwidth.  This can be a problem when bandwidth may
already be near it's limits.

[vdr] VDSB revisited (was: Re: Tuning USB)

I have a similar problem - for some reason VDSB without a real explanation.

This is weird.  dvbdevice.c has the function FrequencyToHz that is used
for DVB-T and DVB-C.
That should make the conversion automatically.

[vdr] DM-8000S or HTPC ?

2010-02-04 Thread Gregoire Favre
Hello,

I'd like to buy/create a new dual-DVB-s2 system, WAF compatible.

I thought about the DM-8000S http://www.dm8000.co.uk/ which is quiete
expensive...

My other choice would be to create a new HTPC with something like an
Asus P7H57D-V EVO http://www.asus.com/product.aspx?P_ID=CadI5xNLwMYopFyJ
or another H57 mainboard like http://geizhals.eu/?cat=mbp4_1156asuch=H57
with an Intel Clarkdale-CPUs (i3-xxx or i5-6xx) such that I don't need
a graphic card.

And of course a dual DVB-S2 card, like a Mystique TV Homepage - SaTiX,
CaBiX, TeRiX, HDTV, S2, H.264 http://www.mystique-tv.de/ and a good HD
and a good case.

Such a config would of course cost less than the DM-8000S and would be
much more full of power (and allow to use VDR) any thought about it ?

Thank you :-)

I just hope the card is well supported under Linux:

My Compro has similar chips like on other cards, however I can't get
VERTI on some channels, or a lot of image break appears, where as my
skystar 2 cards are also connected to the same 4x4 LNB and they work
happily alongside the compro cards. If you are ready to take the
plunge then please update us too :)


 Thank you :-)
