[vdr] IPTV Plugin and re-directs

2017-02-21 Thread Peer Oliver Schmidt
Good morning,

last night we tried to setup a US channel using IPTV

TV2;IPTV:2:IPTV|HTTP|live.softiptv.com/live/jagdish/jagdish/24914.ts|9900:P:0:513:660:2321:0:2:0:0:0

is the entry for it.

Using the URL from VLC works fine, using it in the above manner does
not. It seems that softiptv is using a redirect at the beginning, which
throws the plugin for a fit.

Anyone seen this before, and maybe have a solution, other than using EXT
or CURL.

Thanks.

Isn't the UPnP plugin solely for the purpose to use UPnP renderes with
VDR recordings and stuff, and not outside media files?!

Hello Tobi,

thanks for your work from me as well.

This causes a tiny issue on Ubuntu systems that do not have the apt
https transport installed.

E: The method driver /usr/lib/apt/methods/https could not be found.
N: Is the package apt-transport-https installed?

To make apt-get update work again, one has to manually install
apt-transport-https.

apt-get install apt-transport-https

Re: [vdr] still image at end of replay

2014-04-10 Thread Peer Oliver Schmidt
Hello,

 Problem: the children are watching a recording, and at the end VDR
 switches to normal live TV, that can be anything. I have to be there at
 the right moment to turn off the screen and the sound, in order to bring
 them to leave the tv-room.
 
 I would be nice, if VDR could turn off the sound at the end of a replay
 and show a still image (e.g. Children, go to bed now!).
 
 What do you think about that?

You can do that already. Use the iptv plugin, create a channel that
shows a static picture, define that channel as the starting channel of
VDR. Now each time you start VDR it will show that picture. You go into
the recordings menu, and select the recording to playback. At the end,
playback stops, and the original channel showing the static picture is
displayed.

No problem. Amend the script that creates the iptv stream to change the

Hello,

we already have SVDRP CHAN to get the currently tuned channel. Would it 
be possible to get a SVDRP command to return the currently playing

For example an extension to LSTR to mark the currently playing

Does that make sense to have? It would for me, to implement status

2009-03-02 Thread Peer Oliver Schmidt
Hello Jori,
 
 As most Intel Atom boards do not have more than 1 PCI slot (stupid rule 
 by Intel), I found an way to circumvent that limitation
 
 _http://www.prweb.com/releases/2009/02/prweb2157454.htm_
 
 It is a USB-to-3-pci -slots adapter, and based on press release it is 
 Linux compatible.
 
 Immediately I started thinking of NVIDIA ION and such adapter for DVB 
 cards.
 
 Does anybody have experience on Ars Technologies -adapters on Linux.

You might want to re-read the press-release, and the details on the 
manufacturer page.

It needs a host adapter. This host adapter is available in either 
PCI, CardBus or ExpressBus format.

 Thanks, I re-read it and yes - you need a host card. So with host card (PCI)
 you could still use some other Atom mobo with 1 PCI slot to enhance it to 3
 PCI slots. Maybe the USB-DVB -receives then might be the lowest cost route.
 But the problem is that I already have 3 PCI cards..

There are already alternatives, if you have a single PCI slot 
available. I am using an external box with PCI slots in there. Works 
a treat.

 Thanks. Nice project. I'll try to use it, few questions still bother me.
 What is MVP that that client was intended to use?

The Hauppauge MediaMVP is a small settop box.

 Why creating its own GUI and not pass the output of VDR (with all the 
 menus) on the network to the client as VLC and streamdev do it?

Because it is faster to create a text GUI on the box, instead of 
transferring the OSD over the wire.

 Maybe the intention was to pass only DVB traffic...
 
 Anyone tried to use the VOMP client as an output device on Linux instead 
 of xine or softdevice?

I am using it with the MediaMVP box, and LOVE it. Recently looked at 
the Windows version, and it was quite usable as well. The Qt port is 
very early, but might already be usable (not tested).

Re:[vdr] Problems receiving couple of german channels DVB-S

2007-01-29 Thread Peer Oliver Schmidt
Hello again martin,

 we need to put then an eye on your hardware setup - this is a problem before
 the DVB-S cards. You where talking about 3 DVB-S cards, but how many LNB's
 do you have? How have you wired the system? We have: horizontal / vertical
 polarization and then lower and upper band! This makes 2x2 = 4 possible
 areas. So, if you go with more than 2 cards - 3 or 4 or more, you need a
 quad LNB with maybe some additional hardware. 

I have four cables going from my LNB to a multiswitch. Three cables
go from the multiswitch to the DVB-S cards.

If any of the four cables going to the Multiswitch were wrong,
wouldn't the channels not work at all? I've looked thru the different
channel settings, but could not find anything obvious, which would
differentiate the good and the bad channels ...

Any ideas what else I can test?

Thanks.

Good morning martin,

Any obstacles in the way, like trees or so? There is something that’s called
Fresnel zone, which can be painful.


It is possible that some trees are in the way, but I'd say the house is
far enough away, and the dish is high enough. And would an obstacle
create problems only on some channels and not others?


Any oscillating frequencies in your PC that may interfere the ~1GHz ZF
signal?


Well, it is regular PC with most stuff on board, except graphics card

I have problems receiving some channels (ARD, ZDF,N3, DMAX) in good

Is it possible, I just miswired the multiswitch?

Re: AW: [vdr] Problems receiving couple of german channels DVB-S

2007-01-28 Thread Peer Oliver Schmidt

Hello martin,


can you give us a hint what the problem is? So if you only have budget
cards, what kind of frontend do you use? Need to know a bit more from your
setup.


Sorry for not being more verbose.

I am using streamdev-server on the VDR in the attic, and VLC as a
frontend running downstairs on a WinXP or Ubuntu system. The problem is
a totally distorted picture, like when I have thunderstorm outside with
bad reception. Block artefacts etc.
Sometimes it gets so bad, VLC quits from errors.

The funny thing is, it is ONLY on some of the channels.

Hi martin,

thanks for your help.


have you installed femon? Have you had a look at the perception level? What
does it say? 


I have it installed, and this is the output:

First without specific tuning to any channel

vdr:~# femon -a 0
using '/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0'
FE: Samsung S5H1420 DVB-S (SAT)
status 1f | signal b9b9 | snr b7f6 | ber  | unc  |

And now I switch on VLC to ARD, and receive this:


vdr:~# femon -a 2
using '/dev/dvb/adapter2/frontend0'
FE: Samsung S5H1420 DVB-S (SAT)
status 1f | signal b6b6 | snr b7f0 | ber  | unc  |

FE_HAS_LOCK


To me, I see a difference within the signal. But unfortunately, I can't 
interpret the message.


 Is there a difference when tuning to SAT.1 (which is on the

same stream like Pro7).


SAT.1, RTL and Pro7 look good, all the time.


One other thing that comes to my mind: Sat1 and Pro7 use 7.5MBit/s whereas
ARD, ZDF and stuff use 15MBit, which can be a problem on poor network
performance.


I have the ASTRA.HD channel running right now in the background 
(S19.2E-1-1088-21101) and it works perfect. Input-Bitrare according to 
VLC is ~ 19MBit.



I also use streamdev-server a lot, over my 802.11g WLAN .. with VLC on Vista
already. I use it, to watch TV in my bedroom.


I also use VOMP to connect Hauppauge MediaMVPs and they have the same 
problem with those channels. Do you know anything else, that ARD + ZDF 
have in common, that is different from Pro7 and RTL? Is it possible, I 
have plugged the cables wrong into the Multiswitch?


Thanks for your help on a sunday afternoon :-)

this system contains everything I want. And it has a great WAF factor :-)
  

What kind of network is needed for good picture quality, is 100 mb lan
enough or is 1 gb needed?


People on the VOMP forum are using it over WLAN. I am using it on a 
switched 100Mbit net without a problem.




Have a look another projects either www.plutohome.org or www.mythtv.org


Especially plutohome.org seems to be, with regards to VDR, in a not so 
Plug'n'Play state at the moment. In the german vdr-portal are some 
discussions with regards to implementing VDR within plutohome

 No dropped frames, bad av sync or other playback issues?

Nothing that can't be fixed by either switching a channel or
pause/play on the remote.
