[vdr] Raspberry Pi, Streamdev + rpihddevice
Hi all, I just set up a couple of RPI's with the configuration of a Raspberry Pi, rpihddevice and streamdev-client. Works great but a couple of questions. When I'm watching TV with one of the RPI's and want to move to the other RPI, I cannot change the channel from what the first RPI was viewing. I am not sure how to tell streamdev to stop streaming so that I can watch TV on the other RPI? I hope I've been clear with that - it does sound a bit confusing. I know there is a mainmenu entry that says suspend server, but it didn't seem to do anything, unless its done in the background. In relation to this, the RPI doesn't have a power switch so shutting it down is a pain because when you do the halt -p it doesn't actually power off and in order to restart it you must cycle the power to the unit. I'm interested to know what others have been able to accomplish with this configuration to make it work better for them. I've added a number of plugins to improve the viewing pleasure and everything has been fast and clear. In regards to the rpihddevice I am seeing some tearing or 'flutter' when there is high motion with 1080 HD. Its not so bad that it isn't usable - it most certainly works 99% of the time just fine. The one feature I miss with the rpihddevice that softhddevice had was the automatic zoom - hoping that gets added to the wish list at some point.

Hi, would it be possible to re-define the Shutdown button on your remote to only stop vdr and not shutdown the whole system. With irexec you could restart vdr again. The other way would be to add a button to JP6 (the reset port). With this pushbutton, you can restart the Raspberry Pi after a shutdown -h Best regards, Reiner Am 07.07.2014 19:08, schrieb Norm Dressler: Hi all, I just set up a couple of RPI's with the configuration of a Raspberry Pi, rpihddevice and streamdev-client.

Re: [vdr] Raspberry Pi, Streamdev + rpihddevice
Yes, I suppose it would be if there isn't a suspend or similar. I will have to investigate the irexec commands for that. As for the jp6 - I don't think this little board has that - or at least does the reset function. I think its something completely different used for testing.
