[vdr] Question about audio on FF C2300/Nexus-CA
Hi everyone. Can you use a fully-featured card (with MPEG decoder) without using the decoder? I've read you need to attach an external cable from the card audio output to the PC soundcard. Is this necessary??? Can you just use xineliboutput or vdr-xine as a soft device instead?? ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
Re: [vdr] CAM/CI Dumb Question

AFAIK, yes, under certain conditions: 1) vdr 1.5.x needed 2) your CAM must support multiple streams 3) your CAM must respond to query request Thanks Any known working DVB-C/CAM/CI combinations?

Yes you can select the output device in the VDR setup menu. Softdevice will be one of the available devices for output. -- Torgeir Veimo [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
[vdr] Question about epg.data updating.
When VDR compares epg data to see whether its been updated, does it actually compare the show description/info data or just certain fields in the epg data entry? I'm guessing the latter because I've noticed that when I populate extended epg data, a lot of shows will have a generic description. I let a few days go by and the generic description is still there in my epg data but if I delete epg.data and re-populate it, the description is updated. This leads me to believe VDR isn't comparing the entire epg entry for changes but perhaps just changes with show name or so. Can anyone add clarity to this? It's happened so many times that I can't believe it's coincidence. ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
[vdr] EFF Europe petition against IPRED2
Hi, IANAL so forgive me if it is irrelevant, but to me it seems important enough to pass the information on. Quoting http://www.copycrime.eu/ : On April 24th, the European Parliament will vote on IPRED2, the Second Intellectual Property Enforcement Directive. ... If IPRED2 passes in its current form, aiding, abetting, or inciting copyright infringement on a commercial scale in the EU will become a crime. The two key problems here are: 1. undefined meaning of commercial scale and incitement 2. it becoming a crime (as opposed to a a subject of civil law) My understanding is that e.g. it could become a crime to write software which could be used to record pay-TV without the broadcaster's consent, even though using a valid subscription. (But, again, IANAL, so my understanding could be wrong -- you have to decide for yourself. I think currently there is no law against writing such software, only using it might be a (minor) infringement.) The goal of the petition is to ask the European Parliament to amend IPRED2 with clear definitions of the language, and to clearly limit the scope to real criminals (i.e. people making money selling fake designer watches or cloned DVDs etc.). Visit http://www.copycrime.eu/ for more info and to sign the petition if you want to support it.

[vdr] analog input with TT C-2300??
I'm looking at getting a Technotrend C-2300 card. The card specs on dvbshop.net indicate: Bu 1 Audio-In 3,5mm Jack-plug Bu 2 Composite-Video-In Cinch-female connector Does this mean there's an MPEG2-encoder onboard as well? How do I use this? With v4l2/ivtv and pvrinput? Thanks ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr

I'm also considering buying this card and any comments or experiences from users of this card are more than helpfull. Especially on picture quality of the composite-out and possibly rgb-out if someone's hacked it(alot harder than 2.1 cards I hear). -- gnarlie ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
