[vdr] can't swich from horizintal to vertical polarisation
OK so I fixed all my issues with my clean install of vdr and vdr-xine in Fedora Core 8 except one: - switching from horizontal to vertical polarization does not work, screen goes black, xine stops responding - I can record vertical polarized channels and play back the recording so this doesn't seem to be a driver/hardware issue Fedora Core 8 up to date xine-lib 1.2 pulled from mercurial on the 14th January xine-ui from CVS same day VDR 1.5.13 vdr-xine 0.8.1 DVB drivers from FC8 (after trying older ones with same result) Skystar2 in hush VIA Epia M1 So the problem lies with switching channels on live TV. Any ideas where to go now greatly welcomed! Tony -- ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr

Next week I'm going to Tenerife to relax by the pool, but I don't want to miss any biathlon, alpine- or cross-country skiing transmissions, because then I can't relax Therefore I have made a script that scans my video dir for new recordings and starts encoding them to h264/AAC right away to a bitrate of around 800kbps, which is what I can send from my server. Since I will have internet access in my hotel room, I'm hoping to sit on the balcony with my laptop and play the recordings using mplayer or xine while downloading them. One problem is that my vdr server is too slow to do it in real time and my vdr client is too fast (AMD BE-2400), so when mencoder catches up with real-time it exits instead of continuing until the vdr file is closed. And the same goes for wget which I planned to use for downloading the files. I guess there are many very simple ways to do this so I hope you don't mind my wasting your time by asking here. The obvious way would be to let vdr start encoding when the recording ends, but I don't want to wait for that. There must be a better way. For the download-part the easiest(tm) way is to rate-limit the connection. wget --limit-rate scp -l rsync --bwlimit With a little head-start on the encoding and a matching limit a continous download shouldn't be a problem.

That way I don't have to put any extra bandwith limitations on the process and now I can use my VDR just a few seconds from real-time anywhere in the world where there's an 800kbps downlink and a VLC, xine or mplayer. Works great. Now if I could only get a faster ADSL uplink so I can improve the image quality. /Magnus ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
[vdr] [ANNOUNCE] DVB-S2 + H.264 support for VDR-1.5.12
Sorry, but is this the last version of the patch ?

Re: [vdr] [ANNOUNCE] DVB-S2 + H.264 support for VDR-1.5.12
Well, I think there has been a number of fixes (e.g. to the speedup patches and the nit.c file) that probably warrants a new patch for 1.5.13 that incorporates them all. I'm sure Reinhard will do that when he has a moment, he probably is taking a well deserved break after looking into so many issues and fixes for us over the last few weeks! In the meantime, just look over Reinhard's postings since the first ANNOUNCE for vdr dvb-s2 and h264 for vdr-1.5.12 and download and apply all of the relevant patches. With all of the required patches, fixes and tweaks for VDR / FFMPEG / XINE-LIB / VDR-XINE I'm wondering if it would be nice to set-up a web site that tracks all of the latest patches for VDR / S2 / h264. Would anyone be interested in this? I know there is the vdrportal.de site that discusses a lot of this stuff, but as its in German I find it quite hard to follow.

Re: [vdr] [ANNOUNCE] DVB-S2 + H.264 support for VDR-1.5.12
sorry for the double post, but let's also not forget multiproto, TT3200 and HVR4000 status! There is quite a lot to have to keep track of. PS Manu, are you considering implementing the HVR4000 patch directly into the multiproto tree for direct support?

I think that's a great idea considering all the patches and then different versions of some of them. It seems a lot of people are getting confused by what to use. I also agree that vdrportal.de is hard to follow for non-German speakers.

Hi, Christian Tramnitz schrieb: I guess that's caused by an offset defined in the patch: vdr-1.5.12-dvbs2-h264-syncearly-framespersec-audioindexer-fielddetection-speedup.diff: #define VPID_OFFSET_BASE 1 I don't know what it does or is meant to do, but I also have wrong pids in my channels.conf At the moment, cRemux needs to know whether it has to do MPEG1/2 or H.264. kls didn't want to spend an extra parameter, so we decided to code this information into Vpid, like polarisation is coded into frequency. Regular pid values range from 0 to 8191, and as the value is stored in decimal system in channels.conf, we chose 1 as offset to have the original vpid still readable. I'm thinking about auto detecting H.264 in cRemux (i. e. cVideoRepacker), but it may yield wrong results. That's why I haven't started coding yet. Bye. -- Dipl.-Inform.

I'm sure, now ffmpeg (as software h.264 decoder) is really weak chain in the Linux-hdtv-dvb, NOT multiproto and others dvb-s2 stuff. No multithreading in ffmpeg for single slice decoding, no support for spatial direct mode for interlaced pictures. It's seems nobody in ffmpeg-devel list want to work with this points. :( Igor ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
