Re: [vdr] 10 Year Anniversary of VDR
Congratulations VDR, Klaus and every person who contributed to VDR in any way possible! I can honestly say that about 2 years ago I didn't use VDR, because I thought it required a Full DVB card. But since I wanted to watch HDTV, I decided to gamble and buy a HTPC instead. So that I could be more flexible, it was cheaper then a dedicated HDTV receiver (which in total costed me more then I anticipated, but hobby costs money anyway) and it was more future proof. In the beginning I started using some awkward Windows applications (MCE, Media portal, DVB Viewer Pro) and Myth TV, but it wasn't quite what I wanted and I was planning to sell my HTPC. Then I discovered that I could use VDR in combination with a softdevice-plugin, I've never gone back to other options. Ok, I still test some new hard- and software but still I keep coming back to VDR. And yes, that's a major compliment :).

[vdr] scan-s2 and dvb-apps
Hi All, Recently, quite some people have been requesting for scan-s2 a simple scan application which has been hacked on top of the scan application as available in the dvb-apps tree, to be integrated/pulled in to the dvb-apps tree, after it's author moved on to other arenas. http://www.mail-archive.com/vdr@linuxtv.org/msg11125.html The idea initially was to have a cloned copy of scan as scan-s2. Now, on the other hand scan-s2 is much more like scan and similar functionality wise too. Considering the aspects, do you think, that it is worthwhile to have a) the scan-s2 application and the scan application as well integrated into the repository, such that they both live together or b) scan-s2 does things almost the same as scan2. scan can be replaced by scan-s2.

Re: [vdr] scan-s2 and dvb-apps
scan-s2 was an evolution based on scan code. I've added support for S2 API, some patches from other contributors, added some switches that were requested by users and fixed some bugs. The core wasn't changed too much. I don't know how scan looks today, but if it wasn't totally rewritten, I don't think it should be too complicate to merge between the 2 and have only 1 application.

Klaus has worked on this and it's _much_ better now. If the runtime is incorrect, it's usually only off by up to +10 minutes or so, not several hours as it used to be. - Some people have problems playing VDR recordings in other players outside of VDR but again, not really a bug in VDR since VDR recordings are intended to be played within VDR.

Re: [vdr] OT: Applications for the living room
Hi, the xineliboutput guys are doing a great job with the plugin and I am almost hapy with it. I think the better approach was the softdevice plugin which was more easy to install and depends only on libavcodec. The xinelib is a big library and many plugins and other output devices etc are not needed for vdr output's. Unfortunately softdevice development seems dead so i switched some months ago to xineliboutput. The problems: - audio dropouts on radiochannels - audiodropouts when changing audio track in vdr - the remote frontend has to be started after vdr and refuses to start when vdr can't be found - sometimes segfaults of sxfe when switching between hd/sd channels - some dropouts after zapping (already mentioned in this thread). ... I know that Petri is working hard to resolve problems in xineliboutput so maybe we need more time to get a stable version of the plugin. Last weekend i've also tried vdr-xine. Compilation was ok but I wasn't able to run vdr -P xine I don't see any error message vdr starts and exit's. so I can't tell something about it so far. BTW.: is there no need for softdevice? BR.

Hi, Halim Sahin wrote: Unfortunately softdevice development seems dead so i switched some months ago to xineliboutput. at first I would like to say thank you a lot to all VDR developer especially to Klaus! VDR is a tool I cannot live without it. I upgraded my xineliboutput this weekend to the current CVS version and there most of my problems are solved. I can now move cutting marks, jumping around in a recording and resume works reliable. Maybe you should try the CVS version it maybe fixes your problems, too.

Re: [vdr] OT: Applications for the living room
Hi, I am using the cvs version already. You are right, the cuttingmark problem has been fixed. But sometimes i see the broken behaviour when using the pc keyboard for cutting and mooving marks quickly. The other mentioned things are problems of the current cvs. BR.
