[vdr] convert the channels.conf from scantv to the vdr format
Hoppa VDR readers, I'm new at this list. My name is Sebastian, 25 years old and I coms from Germany. My first question: Is there a possibility to convert the result of scantv in to a vdr supported channels.conf format? I try the example from vdr-wiki but my vdr means, error by reading :-( I use vdr 1.4.7 on a Debian Lenny/Sid System with e-toby. The channels.conf must be for the analogtv plugin. What can I do?

[vdr] softdevice and pass through - don't work
Hello VDR readers, I try to use pass through with softdevice. When I use the following options I get always the same error after start a 5.1 file: # ac3play: sound open: no such file or directory. I start the vdr with: -Psoftdevice -vo dummy: -ao alsa:ac3=iec958:AES0=0x02,AES1=0x82,AES2=0x00,AES3=0x2# or with the options in the setup.conf: softdevice.AC3Mode = 1 softdevice.AlsaAC3Device = iec958:AES0=0x02,AES1=0x82,AES2=0x00,AES3=0x2 softdevice.AlsaDevice = default When I run a 5.1 file with ac3dec all works fine. What must I do to get the pass through? -- Best regards Sebastian ICQ: 264706583 | MSM: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | Skype: sebo_de E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | Web: www.blindzeln.de ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr

[vdr] vdr with control plugin and osd
Hello vdr readers, I use the VDR with the e-tobi sources. To access the OSD I install the control-plugin. When I start the vdr manually all works fine, I can use the OSD e. g. on tty1. When I use the start-stop script from the installer I can't access the OSD. The options for the control plugin are correct but the start-stop-script hide the text OSD on tty1. :-( Is there are possibility to use the script with the control plugin? -- Best regards Sebastian ICQ: 264706583 | MSM: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | Skype: sebo_de | Yahoo: de_sebo E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | Web: www.blindzeln.de ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr

Is it possible to create a femon skin which show the information in plain text on the OSD? E. g. the developer of the lastfm-plugin has include a function. You can change between graphic and text display. If you select the text version all informations (title, track etc.) can read with an braille display. The plugin also use a function to select the refresh rate of the display. If you select 0 you can always refresh the display manual. The femon plugin IMHO needs a simular function. I'm not familiar with Braille displays, so how does it detect text in order to translate it to speech? Femon is drawing text with the same OSD methods as the core VDR, so if you can hear VDR's menus, you should be able to hear the femon menus also. The default refresh rate is quite high, but you can tweak it in plugin's setup menu. So the only problem might be the massive amount of infomation shown on current configuration. I have test the femon again. I'm sorry but I can't read any kind of information. The screen is blank. If I understood you correctly, you'd like to get only essential signal/stream information on a simple menu that can be refreshed on demand? Now the real question is, what kind of information is essential for you? What kind of information is available? -- Best regards Sebastian ICQ: 264706583 | MSM: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | Skype: sebo_de | Yahoo: de_sebo E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | Web: www.blindzeln.de ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
