Re: [vdr] VDR as a set top box
Hi Look at http://freevo.sourceforge.net/ - it is the frontend for home cinema linux PC. It starts Xserver itself, you don't need gdm, gnome etc... I'm using it and Im very glad :). I removed freevo TV config and I set xine for VDR as a external command in freevo. It works nice and looks very good.

[vdr] Deinterlace / Motion Compensation
Hi! I have a quesion to LCD TV owners. Most of the new LCD TVs have a motion compensation feature. Is it deinterlacing the picture? I'm going to buy Sony40, to connect to PC via DVI/HDMI with 720p or 1080p and run VDR with vdr-xine. Now Im using nvidia xxmc and the deinterlace is ugly. With LCD TV it'll be visible much more, so I need better deinterlacing - so I'm wondering if TV hw motion compensation will do it...

Re: [vdr] HD-TV hardware decoding on motherboard instead of waitingfor FF DVB-S2 card
Hi! Maybe the best solution is to use a hardware STB for IPTV? It takes all soft and stream from ethernet, it allows to control via web based portal. Video stream for this devices is near the same as SAT stream - it needs PAT for one program only, PAT rewriting is easy. Typical STB costs are like FF card - 100-200e, got DHMI, hardware HDTV etc. And it eats about 20-40W. I'm not sure about OSD... What do you think about this solution?

[vdr] which card to choose?
Hello. I build IPTV stream server, based on Linux with DVB cards and dvbstream program. Linux takes DVB stream form SAT, divides it to set of single-program streams and sends it to network using multicasts. These streams are received by IPTV SetTopBoxes. It works. Now with FTA only. Now I need to add some crypted channels. These services should be decrypted in the stream-server and will be send to network without any CA. Of course fully legal, with operator smardcard and agreement for redistribution. I have trouble witch decryption. Dvbstream allow to decrypt one A/V service using full-featured card. Its only one, but better then nothing - I can take a sets of these cards. But which card? Does anybody know, which cards to buy? I need several ones, so it should be new card from actual production/offer... And it should to have CI interface and work correctly with linux. I checked wiki.linuxtv.org - but there are listed cards, which are no avaliable in shops - only at ebay/etc... There are mostly budged card in acctual offer, some of them with CI (ex. SkyStarHD), but no-one with support in linux. What to buy? Anybody can help? Boguslaw Juza ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
[vdr] EPG charset
Hi! I upgraded my VDR from 1.5.1 to 1.5.9 yesterday. Its work fine, but I have a question: In some channels I have the EPG with characters in ISO-8859-2. These chars are replaced to '?'. How can I set EPG charset in VDR? It would be useful an option in setup.conf - EPGCharset = ISO-8859-2 Boguslaw Juza ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr

Re: [vdr] Re: replay stuttering
I have noticed smilar trouble: When VDR playbacks a recording, and I pause playback and put play again, video starts playing, then stops for less than second after about 5 seconds, then plays, after two seconds stops again for one second, and then plays smoothly. I have noticed replay stuttering trouble sometimes, but increasing PLAYERBUFSIZE to MEGABYTE(8) resolved the trouble.

[vdr] VDR (xine?) playback
Hi! I am looking for a best solution for live TV playback for VDR. I have PC with Celeron 2.26 GHz, 512 MB RAM, nVidia FX 5200, SkyStar2 and software MPEG2 by xine (vdr-xine 0.7.9). PC is connected do TV using SVideo TV-Out. Now I'm using xxmc driver for xine (nVidia hardware acc.) - playback is smooth, without jerking, but deinterlacing is low quality (both OneField and BOB are not ideal solution). CPU usage is about 10%. When I have tried xine xv driver with deinterlacing, picture was nice - clear and sharp, but the playback jerking - mostly in sports programs. CPU usage was about 30-40% So both solutions are not perfect. Are there any other solution? Maybe the xine should buffer some decomperessed frames? Are there any possibilities to set it? Im afraid, that only FF card will work beter... If I will decide to buy one, which one to choose? I have ony one PCI slot and one AGP slot (small barebone PC), so I can't install dxr3 card...
