Re: [vdr] Centralized VDR solution?
I am using Hauppauge MediaMVPs to connect to a central VDR system containing 3 DVB-S cards. VOMP is running on the MediaMVPs (http://www.loggytronic.com) and apart from missing * DVD support * Cutting 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?

Come to think of it, the SDTV DVB stream is only a few megabits per second, and it is the compressed MPEG stream that is being transferred. However, I wouldn't try this 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 ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr

VOMP is running on the MediaMVPs (http://www.loggytronic.com) and apart from missing * DVD support * Cutting this system contains everything I want. And it has a great WAF factor :-) Now this looked very good! Almost exactly what I was after. Few things missing still but seems that there is active development thus will be implemented later on. I took a look at this also. It seems good as long as you do not watch channels with subtitles. And we do have those in finland (YLE). Few things missing: -HDTV due to HW. Any idea if there is going to be HDTV version of the HW later on? Most likely HTPC is much better solution for HDTV anyway due to deinterlace and scaling which requires quite much CPU power (see next Q about PC version of VOMP). Subtitle support should be added to missing things. -similar (or same) system running on PC. The idea for kitchen (yes, I'd like to have TV on kitchen for the morning news) TV would be to use All in one LCD -type of PC such as this: http://hitony.en.alibaba.com/product/0/51321326/15__All_in_One_LCD_PC.html Does VOMP work on normal PC as well (I missed this info)? There is also a windows client if this is what you meant. Can be found on the same site. -the graphics on VOMP I assume is not changeable (no skin or theme support - would require recompiling I assume but still)? What about the picture quality of the MediaMVP: is it good, average, poor? Anyway, this is very good news! Br, Pasi Even though missing subtitles I decided to get a MediaMVP for my self as a bedroom box. \\Kartsa ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr

Nothing that can't be fixed by either switching a channel or pause/play on the remote. This looks quite interesting... I've currently got about three full PCs using nfs-mounted /video directories. Would be a much nicer solution to use a thin client setup. What video output(s) has the MVP actually got? I've just been reading stuff on the web and I've seen composite, S-video, and RGB component mentioned in various places. Are there different versions of these things, apart from wired / wireless? Does it really work this well? I'm not too bothered about editing recordings from it (use vdrsync for that!) but setting timers would be useful.
