Hi, I'm wondering if passing through a video stream and overlaying it with some Chrome needs less CPU power compared to rendering a video stream from a video file that is being received over WiFi. This device is the first device I've seen that includes this form of HDMI passthrough. Cheers, hepi ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
Re: [vdr] Undetected channels on transponders switching from DVB-S to DVB-S2
Am Sonntag, den 11.09.2011, 13:49 +0200 schrieb Udo Richter udo_rich...@gmx.de: There's currently no 'official' method to track down channels that are no longer announced. There's a trick however: Modify your channels.conf so that all channel names start with [outdated], then start VDR and wait for a full transponder scan to finish. All existing channels will be renamed back to their proper names, and all remaining [outdated] channels can be dropped after some grace period. That sounds like a handy trick. I will try to use this as a workaround. I use a more advanced variant using a small patch and a plugin, both currently not publicly released: The patch tracks a 'last seen' timestamp to all channels, where 0 means 'not seen since VDR start'. A matching plugin holds a second channel list and periodically syncs with the regular channel list, with the additional info 'first seen' and 'last seen' tracked persistently across VDR sessions. Also, the plugin renames channels that are gone for some time so they can be identified and deleted. That sounds *very* interesting to me. If I can assist you in going public with this patch + plugin, please let me know. I currently don't see a reason to reset the timestamp to zero on VDR start, but I probably just don't get your concept yet. This has however two downsides: First, a VDR that hasn't been running for some time will instantly mark all channels gone, and the same thing happens if a source is temporarily unavailable - for me, DVB-T is regularly not plugged, so all DVB-T channels are usually marked as gone. More examples: Multiswitch/DiSEqC/cable malfunction. It would potentially be possible to check a list of channels that are considered to be outdated against a web service like Channelpedia (as long as it offers many concurrent users to send in their own channel list at the same time - and Channelpedia doesn't do that yet...).

The idea is, you mark the channels, do a complete satellite scan, then delete the (still) marked channels. Even if I wrote that specifically to get rid of obsolete channels, I never use it, because there are some channels that are not advertised in the nit. As a result I now have a channel.conf with more that 7000 channels and most of the entries are rubbish. Hi, Can actuator be used by people without a motor behind their dish?

[vdr] xine with new AAC LATM support
Hi, Just in case anyone is interested: There has been a sudden spike in xine development (1.1.19 branch), and AAC LATM audio should now be working with MPEG-TS streams. You will also need to be using FFmpeg = 0.7. Cheers, Chris ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr

Have your patches been merged yet? When will they be merged into the xine-lib-1.2 tree? I don't know anyone still using 1.1 since 1.2 is where the vdpau dev happens. Yes, the patches have now all been merged into the xine-lib tree: http://hg.debian.org/hg/xine-lib/xine-lib I suspect that the patches will also arrive in the 1.2 tree at some later point. However, xine-lib-1.2 doesn't build for me on Fedora 15 so I can't test it myself. Cheers, Chris ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr

Re: [vdr] Undetected channels on transponders switching from DVB-S to DVB-S2
Hi, Am 11.09.2011 11:37, schrieb Henning Pingel: My questions are based on the experience when two transponders switched from DVB-S to DVB-S2 in 2011: 1) On S28.2E the transponder containing the BBC HD channels did this. 2) On S19.2E the transponder now containing the Sonnenklar.HD TV did this. In both cases VDR wasn't able to add the new DVB-S2 channels to the channels.conf automatically as long as not all predecessor channels had been manually removed from the channels.conf. From VDR 1.7.20 announcement: - Now scanning new transponders before old ones, to make sure transponder changes are recognized (thanks to Reinhard Nissl). Regarding Sonnenklar.HD TV: it appeared automatically in my channels.conf without further modifications. I have developed this patch for 1.7.17 so I haven't modified my channels.conf by hand since then. In case this transponder change has happened since 1.7.17, it seems that VDR 1.7.20 should be able to add the new channel automatically. Bye. -- Dipl.-Inform.

I currently don't see a reason to reset the timestamp to zero on VDR start, but I probably just don't get your concept yet. Minimal invasive. The patch has less than 2k size and adds 8 lines of code. For persistent storage it would need either a modification to channels.conf or a separate conf file. Thats why I moved all that to a plugin. Maybe I'll polish and upload the code some time, but the next 3-4 weeks are blocked. Cheers, Udo ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
