[vdr] [ANNOUNCE] vdr-actuator-1.2.0 plugin
Hello, I'm releasing version 1.2.0 of the actuator plugin available at http://www.ventoso.org/luca/vdr/ This plugin controls a linear actuator (or an horizon to horizon one) through the parallel port with a simple circuit. From this version it is also possible to use the plugin without an actuator, i.e. as a channel scanner only. Note that it only compiles with the current development version of vdr. The changes: - Version for current development version of vdr (= 1.7.15) - DVB-S2 support (untested, I don't have DVB-S2 hardware) - Experimental seractuator module (uses a serial port instead of a parallel port) - Complete rewrite of the channel scanner - The plugin can now work without an actuator (i.e. as a channel scanner only) with the command line option -s or --scanonly Bye -- Luca ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr

From this version it is also possible to use the plugin without an actuator, i.e. as a channel scanner only. does it mean, that with your plugin no need to use reelchannelscan plugin for creating/updating channels.conf ? Note that it only compiles with the current development version of vdr. The changes: - Version for current development version of vdr (= 1.7.15) - DVB-S2 support (untested, I don't have DVB-S2 hardware) - Experimental seractuator module (uses a serial port instead of a parallel port) - Complete rewrite of the channel scanner - The plugin can now work without an actuator (i.e. as a channel scanner only) with the command line option -s or --scanonly ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
[vdr] FF-Card and Receivers
Hi, i have a question about a vdr with a ff card. When watching tv with a ff card (= not in transfer mode): Is there a receiver attached to the primary device ? I cannot test it by myself because i dont have a ff card. Regards, Rainer ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr

Yes, but I could only test it with plain dvb-s, no dvb-s2. Also, it doesn't to a blind scan, it needs a transponder.ini file for each satellite that you want to scan. You can download those file, e.g, from http://www.fastsatfinder.com/transponders.html#transponders-sorted Bye -- Luca ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
