[vdr] vdr with softhddevice
Thank you Klaus for the new 2.6 version! What is currently the best ( most updated? ) plugin to use with vdpau or cuvid.

[vdr] 20 Years of VDR
>Back then a VDR was something special, while today it's just an ordinary device. Well, I am sitting here installing vdr yet again on a new pc :) It might be old, it might be this and that, but to me it is still the best there is. Simple, efficient and works all the time. I have been using it since the first version, and I will probably use it for as long as it can be used. So again, thank you Klaus!

[vdr] watching DVDs
Are there any good ways to watch a dvd with vdr. I tried the dvd plugin, but the menus don't seem to work properly. Or has anyone created any sort of script that would import a dvd into the vdr recordings? Meaning, creating the vdr info file and transcoded the vob file into a ts file.

[vdr] vdr 1.7.4 PTS on old recordings (PES)

audio to soundcard. When I watch live or play a recording made with
vdr 1.7.4 the subtitles are displayed correctly.
But when trying to play a recording made with vdr 1.6.0 (PES) I get
no subtitles at all.
In void cDvbSubtitleConverter::Action(void) I added:
if (cDvbSubtitleBitmaps *sb = bitmaps-First()) {
int64_t STC = cDevice::PrimaryDevice()-GetSTC();
+ fprintf(stderr,PTS: %lld STC: %lld timeout: %d\r\n, sb-Pts(),
cDevice::PrimaryDevice()-GetSTC(), sb-Timeout());

I tried to look at the old subtitle plugin and how it was done there but couldn't see how to apply that to the subtitle handling that vdr does. I suppose you're talking about dvb subtitles.

But when I try to watch a recording I get the subtitles 6 seconds too early. If I understood it correctly the reason for this is known.

I am currently using vdr-1.6.0 with reelbox plugin and would like to test the new vdr-1.7.3. I have Checked out revision 10331 from reelbox.org. Since I am having trouble getting the reelbox plugin to compile with vdr-1.7.3 I thought I'd check first before continuing: - Does the reelbox plugin work with vdr-1.7.3? (does vdr's switching to TS make the current plugin unusable?) - Is there a patch already for vdr-1.7.3 to make it compile with the reelbox plugin?

Re: [vdr] Syncearly + subtitles problem
I'm not sure as I don't have too much time to test but channels with problems have only one dvb-subtitles stream and are dvb-s. I didn't found dvb-s2 channel with sync subtitles problem. But normally I'm using NatGeo (UPC, 19.2E) which is broadcasting also dvb-s and only one dvb-subtitles stream and no problems is there. So it is not necessary to upload the problematic recording for me (but maybe someone from reelmutimedia will be interested in). I already have such. BR, Ales The reason for this is explained here: http://www.linuxtv.org/pipermail/vdr/2008-October/018072.html So now we just have to be patient and hope that someone who knows how to fix it fixes it.

I have recorded a very good German film that I'd like to watch, but my German is still not good enough so sometimes I need a little help from the subtitles to be able to follow the plot Having said that, a setting that would enable me to always have the subtitles delayed a little would be a very nice feature. This would help me improve my German. When watching German films I could always first try to understand the speech and when there is something that I don't understand I could read the subtitles.

[vdr] Syncearly + subtitles problem
I am having problems with subtitles: - vdr 1.6.0 - vdr-1.5.18-h264-syncearly-framespersec-audioindexer-fielddetection-speedup.diff - vdr-1.6.0-truecolor-compile_fixes.diff - reelbox plugin The subtitles appear 6-10 seconds too early, which is really annoying. Tested the recordings on a vdr 1.6.0 + FF without the patches and the subtitles were displayed correctly. I imagine it has something to do with the syncearly, but can't say for sure. Can I somehow disable the syncearly part of the patches to verify that this indeed is the problem. ( I need the patches because I can't compile vdr + reelbox plugin without them ) Josce ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
Re: [vdr] Syncearly + subtitles problem
Which version of reelbox plugin (i.e. from which svn) are you using? There was some changes (from 8072) regarding sublitles. Did you test it with latest reelbox svn? The reelbox-plugin is 8171. I can test with a newer svn if you think that will help. regards, Josce ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
Re: [vdr] Syncearly + subtitles problem
This isn't caused by syncearly, this occurs 'cause the buffers of the HD-extension are not taken into account yet. The missing lines are in dvbsubtitles.c, around line 767, there you can read: TODO sync on PTS? are there actually devices that don't deliver an STC? Yes, there is such a device... ;-) Nevertheless, this will probably be fixed quiet soon... Ok, thanks for letting me know. I am eagerly waiting for this fix :) As a side note, I today did 'svn co svn://reelbox.org testing' and got revision 8820. When trying to compile the plugin it stopped on following error: HdTrueColorOsd.c:595: error: 'class cBitmap' has no member named 'SetSizeWithoutRealloc' I have the 'vdr-1.6.0-truecolor-compile_fixes.diff' patch installed but can't see there any mention of 'SetSizeWithoutRealloc'. Nor can I find this anywhere else in vdr code. Is there a new patch for the reelbox plugin that I should install? Is there any site in English where the reelbox is discussed?

Re: [vdr] vdr 1.7.0 + reelbox plugin problem - solved
Well it turned out that for some reason Fedora 9 (kernel 2.6.25.14-108.fc9.i686) and VIA EX1EG motherboard and Reelbox eHD combination doesn't work. I re-installed Fedora twice to make sure.

Could you define mosaic? Would you be able to post a picture of some kind?
To be honost, I haven't updated the hdplayer3 stuff for some while now.
So it could be related to a new update in the svn in the reelbox

I can see the video but here and there across the screen are small boxes.
I also get in my log file:

Re: [vdr] vdr 1.7.0 + reelbox plugin problem
There is a reset circuit on the that controls the complicated power sequencing. It is possible that your BIOS is too fast and configures the PCI space during this powerup sequence. At that time, the HDE is not properly accessible. It is possible to shorten this sequence a bit, but for that you need to exchange a SMD capacitor on the HDE board. OK, thanks. I have the Quick Power On Self Test enabled, so by disabling this I should have this problem fixed. Josce ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
Re: [vdr] vdr 1.7.0 + reelbox plugin problem
Have a look at the hdtsplay-demo in the hdshm3-folder. It is a simple demo that plays back TS files over the DeCypher. If that works, your basic driver setup (+ the HW) is OK, and something in the vdr (or the patches) itself is wrong. Playing back a ts file with hdtsplay is actually even worse. I am using a patched hdshm.c file that I downloaded. The one in the reelbox SVN testing used 'pci_get_device_reverse', which I think has been removed from the newer kernels. I will SVN a completely fresh reelbox tommorrow and see if maybe I have made some mistakes when installing the drivers.

Re: [vdr] VDR not starting if a plugin fails to start?
So, if a plugin thinks VDR can well run without it, it should just return true. If it's a plugin that's absolutely necessary for operation, it shall return false upon failure. VDR can't know that by itself. Maybe all plugins could have a setting on failure terminate vdr ? Then the user could choose what plugin is vital and what is just extra, so if the user sets it to no, then vdr would just continue.

[vdr] Output plugin
My Hauppauge DVB card rev2.1 (FF) DVB-C card has some connection problem on its video out jack. So sometimes the screen goes blank and I have to slightly adjust the video out plug to regain picture. I am currently using vdr-1.6.0. I would like to use the softdevice plugin but here is the catch: The VGA is a Via CX700M2 and DirectFB does not support it, and my CPU is too slow for unaccelerated fb. ( 85% cpu usage) Now, Via has created a framebuffer driver that uses the CX700M2 hardware MPEG2/MPEG4 acceleration. And a modified mplayer (VeMP1.6) that takes advantage of this. With this combination I can play vdr recordings with 6% cpu usage. Now my question is: a) is there some plugin that could pipe the stream directly to mplayer to handle the output? b) could the hardware MPEG decoder by used somehow and the decoded stream be sent to framebuffer driver? c) would it be a big task to add acceleration support to the softdevice plugin? (Could then play hdtv stuff with it?) d) any other solution? Josce _ News, entertainment and everything you care about at Live.com.

Re: [vdr] PANIC: watchdog timer expired - exiting
VDR still defaults to start recordings three minutes before scheduled time, right? I wouldn't want to rely my recordings on a clock that is that bad. That's why I have set it to start ten minutes earlier :) The worst I had was on a 286, running 40s off per day. Good thing that this is over. Today, I would count one or two minutes per month as worst acceptable. I agree that the clock is bad, but one of the reasons I started to use VDR was because I had an extra old PC that could be put into use this way. If I have to start buying a lot of new stuff, then I might as well get a STB and complain and demand corrections when it doesn't work.

The clock was set to 20:19:37, and the watchdog fires at 20:21:01 - 84 seconds later. There must be something different causing the watchdog to expire. OK, this is what I asked in the first mail: is it the watchdog causing the PANIC? And apparently it isn't the watchdog, but the log didn't show anything else that was causing it.

Re: [vdr] PANIC: watchdog timer expired - exiting
Well if the PC clock was correct all the time I would probably not have to use the set time function :) Yes, but typically PC HW clock does not drift so much. You could use hwclock --systohc (and possibly --utc or --localtime) after letting the vdr to set the system clock. I am sure this would fix the problem. However, is this really the way it should work? The clock is four minutes off, let's PANIC? To be honest, I have seen a lot of worse PC clocks around than the one I have on my spare computer ...

Re: [vdr] PANIC: watchdog timer expired - exiting
However, there are some other clock-dependent things in VDR that are not designed to handle larger clock jumps. Usually, clock jumps should be just a few seconds, and only after starting VDR. You should investigate what causes the clock to jump 4 minutes. If your PC clock is THAT bad, its probably worth dumping the mainboard - you do want recordings in time, do you? Well if the PC clock was correct all the time I would probably not have to use the set time function :) Josce _ FREE pop-up blocking with the new MSN Toolbar - get it now! http://toolbar.msn.click-url.com/go/onm00200415ave/direct/01/ ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
