[vdr] help needed using two dishes

[Leo Márquez]

Hello all,

I'm a bit lost when I wonder how can I use my two dishes (one motorized) in
my vdr server at same time.
Right now I'm using an static dish to astra but I want to add the motorized
one (currently connected to a decoder) to the installation.
I have a 1.6 vdr server with 4 tuners (2 dvb-s, 2 dvb-t) serving to three
media mvp clients.

Sorry if the following question is an offtopic, but I need to resolve it. I
understand that the physical installation only requires a diseqc between the
dishes and the vdr tuners. Is this correct?

For the software, which plugins or patches have I to use? I have seen the
rotor plugin and the gotox patch, but I don't know if they are up to date
and usable with 1.6.

Anyone can me point me on that?

Thank you very much.

[vdr] no EPG

[Leo Márquez]

Hello,

I have used VDR for a long time with no EPG problems but some day I stopped
seeing epg data.
Then I decided upgrade my old vdr 1.4.7 to 1.6-2 but EPG has not returned. I
checked the epg.data file and it is empty.
I also looked the syslog but I don't see any information related to the epg.
I can see the tv channels perfectly.

I have 2 dvb-t devices and 2 dvb-s devices but currently no dvb-s channels
in channels.conf. Could be the cause of the problem?

Thank you.

Re: [vdr] xbmc-pvr (was - HD clients for vdr)

Hi,

adding line

Recordings.Sort();

after

Recordings.Update( true );

in cConnectionVTP::CmdPLAY (in server/connectionVTP.c) fixes this 
particular problem. So the problem seems to be that streamdev reloads 
the recording list every now and then and does not sort it always.


By looking at code there seems to be a similar problem when deleting 
recordings which is of course even more worrying as it can lead to data 
loss... I haven't verified this yet though (and cannot test it before my 
kidslet me use the system again :-)


I still don't have any idea why the subtitles are not shown correctly in 
recordings. Also with some recordings from Yle's TV channels XBMC plays 
the wrong soundtrack (plain VDR works OK with them)


BR, H

I have the same problem with my vdr+xbmc setup. It might be a sorting 
order problem: if I select nth recording from the list in XBMC (which is 
in alphabetical order), vdr seems to do a depth first search in the 
video directory tree without any sorting at all and plays the recording 
that is in nth position in this order.


Do you have idea where the error is, is it in
streamdev/server/recplayer.c in function scan()? Or at upper level in
connectionVTP.c? While looking the code I don't get where the bug could
be.

I really wonder how xbmc can be usable for some, is the separate patch
for an old streamdev better?

Also subtitles do not work for me when watching recordings (in live TV 
they are OK)


I haven't yet been able to randomly hit a suitable YLE recording to
check that :^)

BR,
Seppo
