[vdr] Upgrading from 1.4.7 to 1.7.0 : info: Channel not available!
Hi, I've been using VDR for a while now uder an "old" 1.4.7 vdr version with a DVB-S Nexus with CI and my official subscription card. I wanted to upgrade to the lastest version of VDR and compiled it all OK. But, the problem is that the new version can't switch to encrypted channels. Is there something particular to done to enable encrypted channels ? Particular syntax for the channels.conf file ? I could not find that in the docs. Thanks for helping.

Ok, thanks. I think I understand this better now.

Hi, install the linux-headers package coresponding to your running kernel. e. G. linux-headers-2.6.24-1-686. you can get the running kernel's version by typing uname -r check out the multiproto drivers by typing hg clone http://just.dde/hg/multiproto_plus. cd multiproto_plus make && make install && reboot HTH.

Here's what I did to get HG drivers a bit more packaged: (1) Make sure you build the drivers against the right sources and .config. Looks something like this: make all SRCDIR=... KERNELRELEASE=... KERNELRELEASE is the 'uname -r' release version of your kernel. You may need to start a kernel compile before, to get some basic things, but I've killed it after a few seconds, and it was enough. (2) Unpack your existing kernel package: dpkg -x linux-image-...deb /tmp/deb dpkg -e linux-image-...deb /tmp/deb/DEBIAN (3) install drivers into it: fakeroot make install SRCDIR=... DESTDIR=/tmp/deb/ KERNELRELEASE=... (4) (optional) modify description in /tmp/deb/DEBIAN so you don't confuse it with the original kernel (5) re-package it: fakeroot dpkg -b /tmp/deb linux-image-...deb This works to some degree, but may give some issues. The suggested way is to use a kernel with all DVB support disabled as base for HG drivers. Cheers, Udo ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr

Either add a header for epg data (and other places where vdr exchanges > texts) telling the encoding. The only reasonable thing IMO would be to make an SVDRP command (or extend an existing one) that tells which encoding is used by this VDR. Maybe an extended signon message would be ok, like 220 video SVDRP VideoDiskRecorder 1.7.1; Sat Apr 19 11:43:27 2008; ISO-8859-1 I wouldn't like to fiddle around with headers in many places. > 2. or switch all external interfaces (epg.data, svdrp, channels.conf) to utf8.

So all code that does > switch/case on the charset can be simplified. VDR currently uses the codeset that is used on the system. If it is UTF-8, all is done in UTF-8. You'll always have to be careful when exchanging data between systems that use different codesets. Klaus ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
