[vdr] Subtitles not shown after language change
Hi, I noticed a problem with multi-language broadcast with subtitles or actually playback of recording of that (I didn't watch it in live). The clip is mainly having swedish audio, but during the interviews audio is finnish. However audio track seems to marked as swedish only. During the swedish audio the clip has finnish subtitles and vice versa. But during the playback when finnish subtitles should be shown again after swedish, they will not appear. Only way to fix that is to stop the playback and press play again and then the finnish subtitles are shown again. I noticed that subtitle menu shows that actually finnish subtitles might be in swedish track for a while. But still, if I stop and then continue the playback, VDR shows the subtitles, so I'm not sure where the problem is. I uploaded the 100MB sample clip to here: http://rapidshare.com/files/143391850/Sportmagasinet.tgz.html My system consists from VDR 1.6.0-1 on FC4, TechnoTrend DVB-C FF 2.1+Satelco DVB-C budget. Default languages are set as Finnish, Swedish and English in that order for subtitles and Finnish, English, Swedish for audio. -- Tero ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr

Also with 1.6.0-1 all other encrypted channels that I've access works with that CAM, so there is something in that one channel which causes problems with 1.6.0-1. But I will report again when I get some more data. -- Tero ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr

Re: [vdr] vdr-1.6.0 channel not available
Simon Baxter kirjoitti 24.4.2008 kello 10.08: Hello I have 2x DVB-C cards with Alphacrypt multi-cams. A TT-1500-C budget card and a TT-2300-C FF card and run vdr-xine. When recording one channel and attempting to watch another in the same transport stream, or trying to switch to another transport stream (and hence card) I get "channel not available" messages. After switching back and forth to other transport streams, usually I can overcome this problem. But occasionally I it won't play any channels in one specific transport stream or another. What's the best way to diagnose this?

I installed plain versions of VDR and then ttxtsubs patched versions and run the tests with interesting results. plain vdr-1.4.7 plays fine plain vdr-1.5.17stutters vdr-1.4.7 with ttxtsubs patches plays fine vdr-1.5.17 with ttxtsubsstutters So it seems that something has changed in the VDR playback so that it cannot play those old recordings with or without ttxtsubs patching.

[vdr] VDR 1.5.17 - pre 1.3.19 compatibility mode problems
Hi, I upgraded from VDR 1.4.7 to 1.5.17 and noticed that some of my old recordings won't play decently with this new version.

[vdr] VDR 1.5.10, Subtitles gets out of sync
Great that the subtitles are now part of the VDR. Unfortunately, there seems to be some problems still. I tested this new VDR version for some minutes and noticed that some subtitles were shown too late in live tv watching. I didn't check how the timing of subtitles is done, but it seemed that VDR missed one "sync-point" and after that all the subtitles were shown one "sync-point" too late. Channel change seemed to correct the situation for a while. Similar problem was seen on two channels, so I think that the broadcast was ok in this case. Also, I haven't seen similar problems earlier with subtitles-plugin. I didn't notice this kind of error either when viewing recordings made with subtitles-plugin. I didn't test yet if the problem can be seen also with recordings made with 1.5.10, but I think I can test that later today. Testing was done with VDR 1.5.10 without any plugins, TT FF 2.1 DVB-C card and YLE 2 and YLE Teema channels here in Finland. Anyone else seen this kind of problems? -- Tero ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr

I want to run just a display viewer over the network. Mac version is currently for cases just like this. It doesn't support DVB devices (at least yet). So just like Torgeir told, you need to install streamdev for both ends. The problem with Intel machines is that the video screen is green-purple. I've not found out what the problem is. If you are using Intel Mac you need also small change to video-quartz.h to get it compile. See the softdevice patch in the page below.

I think that you might have different version of dvb-driver package or someting like that, because there's no such type (__s32) on my environment.

Well basically it is quite simple, but I don't know how well it suites other drivers than dvb-ttpci/av7110. I've configured vdr as a service which loads/unloads dvb modules and starts/stops vdr. When vdr is started also this small monitor script is started. Content of monitor script in pseudocode: put last 30 lines of syslog to tempfile check for errorlines of tempfile with grep if errorline found then service vdr restart exit else sleep 30 Currently I have following patterns specified as errorlines: 'dvb-ttpci: StopHWFilter error' 'dvb-ttpci: StartHWFilter error' 'av7110_send_fw_cmd error' -- Tero ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
Re: [vdr] VDR stops replay due to strong wind condition
In my case driver/firmware problems does cause some problems with FF cards every now and then (usually black screen after boot), but instead of restarting vdr from itself by watchdog, I've made an error monitor script, that monitors syslog, restarts vdr and reloads drivers when error is seen there. This way I get faster reload when needed and can keep watchdog relatively long for some plugins that may cause high load for longer times (had some problems with burn plugin and shorter watchdog time). -- Tero 2007/3/19, Andreas Mair <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: Hi!

I don't know who's fault it is but I would have broken recordings if there would be no emergency exit. It doesn't happen often, but most of the time (or always?) I get "unknown picture type" or "video datastream broken" errors if following conditions are met: - EPG scan ON - VDR runs some time before recording starts. E.g. when replaying a recording and an EPG scan has been performed before starting recording. I never have that problem if EPG scan is off. My VDR box has to FF DVB-s cards and it happened with different VDR (atm 1.4.6), kernel (atm 2.6.18.6), dvb driver (atm Friday's "refactoring" repository) and firmware (atm F12623) releases. So emergency exit is needed on my box, but I would prefer to have the cause for UPT and VDSB fixed ;) Regards, Andreas -- http://andreas.vdr-developer.org --- VDRAdmin-AM VDR user #303 ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr

A few months ago I have received a patch that adapts VDR to the Mac from Andreas Thiede (a.thiede at berlin dot de), but haven't had time to really look into it yet (shame on me - I'm permanently out of time...). Don't know if he's working with any of you. Anyway, if this is supposed to go into the main VDR source one day, it might be best if you join forces and agree on common solution. I would appreciate if the impact on the VDR source could be kept to a minimum by putting everything as far as possible into a separate compat.[hc] and avoiding tons of "#ifdef __APPLE__" all over the place. I agree. These patches I made on purpose that way that it has those conditional compilings, so everyone could see what has been changed as it makes the bug hunting easier. Non-standard C funtion replacements I placed in darwinutils.[hc]. I think that almost all of the modifications can be put in a own file. Exception would be isnumber function in tools and of course includes. Function with 'isnumber' name is already defined* in Darwin, so that name needs a change if Darwin compatibility without code changes is desired. Maybe this could be made in developer version at some point. *) I should check what the definition for that really is. I got error that it wasn't compatible, so I just changed the name. -- Tero ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr

I started this just to test what is required to get VDR even compiled. Because it wasn't so much, I continued also with few plugins to get also video out and used Xineliboutput for it. If there's any use of my patches please use them. I can provide at least test support for Mac-VDR. > We planned to publish our work some time ago, but up to now we delayed > it again and again... > Maybe we can join our efforts?

I will play tomorrow. How easy would it be to package up a version of, say vdr-sxfe for mac with xine incorporated? In such a way that it runs, searches for a vdr server on the local net and auto connects? I don't know how hard it would be, but idea sounds very good. One problem currently is that Xine-lib doesn't compile clean on OS X yet. Some patches exists already but they don't solve all the compiling problems. Also accelerated video out is needed to get the performance, Xshm is too heavy for everyday use. Another thing that I would like to someone dig in are the DVB-drivers for OS X by John Dalgliesh (http://www.defyne.org/dvb/driver.html) which are originally based on Linux v4l drivers. Maybe VDR could be adopted for those drivers or some kind of a wrapper could be made to get DVB device support on OS X. -- Tero ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
[vdr] VDR-on-Mac patches
I've made patches for VDR 1.4.5 and few plugins (Subtitles, streamdev and xineliboutput, softdevice) to run them on Mac OS X (10.4.8 Intel tested) Notice, VDR can only be run as client for another VDR system as there's no support for DVB devices. Server-VDR needs a streamdev-server or xineliboutput plugin which can stream the reception to the client.

Re: [vdr] FF card A/V sync - in progress?
2007/1/23, Kartsa <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: Could this be related to some sw or hw issue? I have had this new fw for a few days now and about 20+ succesfull recordings and no failures. I've got vdr 1.4.4, burn 0.0.009, subtitles 0.4.0, femon 1.1.0, mplayer 0.9.15 and vompserver 0.2.5. And on the hw side AMD Sempron 3000+, 512MB, TT DVB-C FF 2.1, DVB-C budget, FC6, kernel 2.6.18-1.2849. Well, like I said I cannot confirm that this was because of the new firmware, and I've made two successful timer recordings on Sunday. But on the other hand this was the very first time that recording failed (excluding human errors) with my new setup, built in last July and about 1-5 recordings every week. I now updated vdr and plugins and added more error recovery to it. So we'll see. -- Tero ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr

Well here in Finland the channels at least where I've seen this to happen are two commercial channels (MTV3 and Nelonen). I don't remember seeing those problems with non-commercial channels (YLE's channels). The a/v sync problems usually occur when commercial break ends and program continues. But it happens also in the spots where there has been commercial break in the original broadcast but not in here. However, like Pasi Juppo told earlier in other thread, in last weeks episode of Lost there was many fadeout-fadeins between scenes and a/v desync happened on every one of these. I preserved an example clip of this with length of 3 minutes and there is four desync spots in it. So it is not directly related to commercial breaks. I think this happens almost on every recording made from these two channels. Audio is normal MPEG. -- Tero Siironen ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr

Well, I don't have knowledge for debugging, but I ran some tests. I took few minutes crop from a recording of same episodes and tried it with different AV7110 firmwares. (TT DVB-C FF 2.1 card) I tested with VDR 1.4.3 and test_av app included in 22623 test firmware package, with firmwares 261a, 261f, 2622 and that test version 22623. Everytime playback stuttered and lost a/v sync after scene change situation. So I think this is more like dvb firmware/driver problem than VDR problem. However this is very annoying. -- Tero Siironen ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
