[vdr] info file

2013-02-27 Thread Marx

Hello
Would it be possible to somewhat generate nfo file automatically with 
each recording? I know vdrnfofs which do it on-the-fly and I imagine 
such file could be generated automatically (optionally) with each 
recording. It seems very easy, because such nfo contains only title and 
plot.
The idea after it is that vdrnfofs doesn't allow editing of nfo, while 
such nfo generated automatically by VDR could be freely editable. And 
also it would be possible to download fanart etc to recording directory.
I know VNSI and that it works well with XBMC (allows for quite good 
scraping) but I would prefer offline metadata.
There are times when I work on VDR switching it off and then recordings 
are unavailable for XBMC. If hardware brokes - VDR even doesn't start 
complaining for lack of hardware. And I can't fine tune my nfo file when 
scraper do something ot fully or wrong.

Maybe it's idea for new plugin?

[vdr] Call for development: enhancing mplayer-plugin

2013-02-27 Thread Peter Münster
Hi,

Support for seeing the VDR osd over mplayer doesn't exist yet.

Who could add this feature please? And what would be the price?

(Perhaps this could help: https://urandom.ca/mebox/downloads/vf_overlay.txt)

TIA for any proposals,

[vdr] No data in 8 seconds, queuing no signal image

2013-02-27 Thread Peter Münster
Hi,

Sometimes, when starting VDR, I get this message:
[input_vdr] No data in 8 seconds, queuing no signal image
And no video.

When switching channels of the same transponder, nothing happens. But
switching to a channel of another transponder (channel 7), video comes
back.

How could I avoid this problem please, when VDR starts automatically to
start a recording?

Here some log messages:

That's an alternative to the mplayer plugin -- still very new and
primitive. It would be much better to have this support added to the
mplayer plugin which is already stable and more capable.

 I don't know if it works, but you can configure vdr to start with always the 
same channel (which you'll never use for a
recording) so that it has to switch explicitly when starting the recording.

Hi Peter,

Did you change your VDR release ?

Have you the same issue with SoftHDdevice ?

 Who could add this feature please? And what would be the price?

Basically, the OSD-over-mplayer does work for dvbsddevice and other
devices that mplayer supports. Also, there was already an attempt to get
mplayer plugin working for TT6400/dvbhddevice cards, but it got stuck a
long time ago:

One thing the thread has is a generic solution for the need to mix OSD
and video stream: There's a modified version of mplayer plugin that
moves this part where it belongs, back into VDR. Instead of VDR closing
the video device for mplayer while keeping the OSD open, VDR takes over
a stream from mplayer and forwards it to the proper output device,
whichever that is. Problem however is that the old stream output feature
of mplayer is suffering from bit rot, and isn't working very well. Plus,
the TT6400 didn't like the mplayer encoded stream.

Cheers,

Udo

Is there any hope that this could be resurrected? Also, what about
those of us who use VDPAU?

I use xineliboutput with a nvidia on-board graphic card to replay all
kind of video without problems (SD and HD).

  I don't know if it works, but you can configure vdr to start with always the

Yes, that should work. That's what I'll do, if there is no other
solution.

I use xineliboutput too, but it crashes too often. See also

 Did you change your VDR release ?

Yes. Now it's 1.7.37 and before it was 1.2.6 (several years ago... ;)


 Have you the same issue with SoftHDdevice ?

I don't use this plugin, so I don't know.

Its more a thing for hardware decoder cards that cannot handle an
uncompressed video stream, as it always re-encodes to some fixed output
format, eg. mpeg1/2.

The mplayer plugin modification should be ressurectable, with some
updates to plugin structure. It basically expects a video stream that
can be handled by the output device delivered via unix pipe. However,
the mplayer playback-recode-to-file feature is quite broken, and
currently needs some ugly workarounds. And of course, its still
uncertain why the TT6400 denies playback of mplayer encoded video.


Cheers,

Udo

I used gentoo without problems and now yavdr without problems. It never
crashed so it is related to the version/distribution or to your hardware
you are using.
