Re: [vdr] [ANNOUNCE] S2API wrapper + hard link cutter for VDR-1.7.13-15
Hi Udo Once again, I'm a bit late with updating my patches. However, here are the new ones: DVB/S2API wrapper patch, to run VDR-1.7 under DVB API V3: New version of the patch for VDR-1.7.13 - VDR-1.7.15 http://www.udo-richter.de/vdr/patches.en.html#dvb-api-wrapper Hard Link Cutter patch, for fast editing of recordings: New version for VDR-1.7.14 - VDR-1.7.15 http://www.udo-richter.de/vdr/patches.en.html#hlcutter Thanks for the patches ! Just one question: What is the reason for the DVB/S2API wrapper patch ? Why are you using the old DVB drivers ? -- Helmut Auer, hel...@helmutauer.de ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
Re: [vdr] Insufficient hardware PID filters on tuner (Klaus Schmidinger)
Klaus wrote: The question is can the total PID count be reduced when VDR is idle, or is there an assumption that a channel uses fewer than 4 PID's in calculating how many to leave spare for recordings (if that's how it works)? VDR doesn't do any calculations regarding the number of PID filters. It just assumes that there will be enough of them ;-) You might want to try VDR 1.7.14, which saves a few PID filters. Here's what you could try in VDR 1.6.0-2: - in eit.c exchange the code after the line // --- cEitFilter --- with that from VDR 1.7.14. You may need to leave out the disable until part. That saves two PID filters. - disable setting the system time from the transponder (saves another filter in eit.c) Klaus Great work, thanks Klaus - I patched version 1.6 as you suggest, leaving out the disable until bit. The Freecom USB receiver will now do at least 2 channels simultaneously, sometimes 3. When idle, 6 PID's are now in use normally instead of 8 (I wasn't setting system time - using NTP). Are you aware of anywhere the PID capacity of receivers is published - it's not in http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/DVB-T_USB_Devices for example? - it would be good to publish, so buyers can select better hardware cheers Richard ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr

But until then, there's a good chance for even more updates: I guess I'll need runtime switching between DVBV3API and S2API before etch is final. s/etch/squeeze/ of course. I'm getting old...
