Re: [vdr] ATSC Channel providers California

2011-06-23 Thread Simon Baxter

Have a look here:


http://www.silicondust.com/support/channels

Once you've selected your zip code, it will tell you what you have via 
ATSC over the air, and ATSC-Qam through your cable companies.


I have some scripts which use this to build a channels.conf if you'd 
like..


Any chance I could get hold of those scripts to build channels.conf?

I'm now in Portland Oregon, zip 97224


Thanks

 Naturally all Conax channel recordings will fail silently as a result of
 this until the CAM has been brought back up. Switching to an encrypted
 channel just gives the standard "channel not available" message.

 This happens (for me) with Satelco DVB-C card with Satelco CI. From
 what I understand, this seems to be a common problem though I'm not sure
 whether it is limited to Satelco devices only.

 Would it be possible to force CAM reset on all CI slots when VDR is
 trying to start recording non-FTA channel?

I've had this problem for years on my TT-2300-C-FF and TT-1501-C cards with
Alphacrypt Multicam.  Updating the CAM has no effect, same experience with
multiple versions of VDR.  Most of the time the CAM can be brought back to
"Ready" by doing a CAM Reset from the VDR menus multiple times.  On rare
occasions the CAM will still be "Ready" but I still get "Channel not
available", until I do a CAM reset a few times.

I have a crude script which looks for "ERROR: can't write to CI adapter on
device" in the syslog which notifies me so I can do the "CAM reset" (often
multiple times) from the VDR menus.

This appears to be either a bug in the dvb code - which has never been
fixed.  To be honest - it's nice to hear other people have had the problem!!

Yeah, shame about that.  It's unfortunate the development on XMBC isn't
anywhere as active or mature as VDR.

I recently got really lazy and installed yavdr-0.4 after 7 years running
everything from sources.  It's simplicity of use is great.  I use
xineliboutput to watch DVDs, movies and live/recordings of ATSC HD and only
use XBMC for all the web content (freecable, hulu etc).  Works pretty well
(apart from some regular xbmc crashing - which I really must look into at
some point).

[vdr] 6-channel audio from analog?

2007-02-27 Thread Simon Baxter
Hi y'all.

My media box has 6 channel output LF,RF,LR,RR,C,SW which I'm using with
ALSA.  Mplayer plays through all channels fine (settings in
~/.mplayer/config), but VDR sourced audio only plays in stereo from the
LR,RF output.

Given that there is no way to play 'real' surround sound from pvrinput
sourced audio, what is the easiest way to 'copy' the audio to the other
channels, so I at least get sound out all the speakers?

Hmm, perhaps this is a setting in xine...?


Thanks

I'm also now playing at 16:9

Can I 'stretch' the replaying image horizontally?

Hi - I've been using xmltv2vdr for years.  It's great!

I'm now getting my xml EPG from a different source, and am having problems
getting the perl script to run properly.  My perl knowledge is poor (to
say the least!!)


The problem is, the epg xml I'm getting has the "channel=" at the wrong
end of the "

it has :


This results in the wrong SVRDP messages being produced.

I get:

E 0 0 1176231600 0
T Breakfast
D Breakfast
e
c
.

so no program ID# and the start/duration is broken.

I've tested this by manually changing a programme sequence in the xml,
moving the "channel=" to the end - and it works fine.

[vdr] plugin writing - need help with C

2007-04-12 Thread Simon Baxter
Hi.

I'm modifying a non-published pvrinput variation which sends IR commands
to a set box box - specifically, the channel number stored in
channels.conf.

12345J2:6:C12:C:0:301:300:305:A1:62006:0:1009:0
FOODJ2:63:C12:C:0:301:300:305:A1:62008:0:1019:0
   ^^  - channel number to send to external digi-box

It works fine, sending single-digit channel numbers but fails to send
double digit.  i.e. channels 1-9 are ok, but 10+ fail.

This fails because there are only codes in the lircd.conf for 0-9.

Here's an excerpt from the plugin which sends the commands:

redremote.h

class cRedRemote : public cThread {
public:
cRedRemote();
~cRedRemote();

int  Open();
void Tune(int channel);
void Send(char *text);



redremote.c

void cRedRemote::Send(char *text)
{

char buf[100];
snprintf(buf,sizeof(buf), "SEND_ONCE ADB_ICAN3000 %s\n",text);

write(fd,buf,strlen(buf));
close(fd);
fd = -1;
}



My question is this.  I need to modify the channel sent, so that double
(or triple) channel numbers are sent as '6 3' or '1 1 7'  rather than '63'
or '117'.  i.e. put spaces between the letters.

I'm really out of my depth - can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks

Simon

Strike that - works a treat:


void cRedRemote::Tune(int channel)

char  buf[10];
sprintf(buf,"%d",channel);
log(1,"Setting digibox to channel %d",channel);
 char *p = buf;

while (i < strlen(buf) - 1) {

j++;
txt2[j] = ' ';

}
txt2[j] = buf[i];
j++;
txt2[j] = '\0';

[vdr] CAM/CI Dumb Question

2007-04-16 Thread Simon Baxter
Hi

I'm looking to use a budget DVB-C card with a CAM/CI module to
watch/decrypt.

I've used a DVB-T card to watch FTA channels, and really liked the ability
to watch/record any combination of channels within the same boquet/TS.

Question is, when you're using a CAM to decrypt channels, can it decrypt
multiple channels simultaneously like the above for FTA???

Can you use a fully-featured card (with MPEG decoder) without using the

Sorry to be pedantic, but just to be clear.

You're saying in addition to it having an MPEG2 decoder, it also has an
MPEG2 ENcoder for the composite video?

I've had one comment that the front-end inteface the card has is unsupported
by a lot of software.  I gather this means under Windows??  Surely VDR
bypasses all this??

Re: the RGB - There's no J2 connector on the card and I doubt it's as easy
as soldering one in (otherwide dvbshop would have done that!!)

[vdr] multi-box VDR & epgsearch conflict resolution

2007-04-25 Thread Simon Baxter
Hi

I have a couple of boxes running VDR on a network.  I've ended up in this
situation because of a lack of PCI slots for capture cards, and a
PVR-500/Via chipset incompatability.

I can use the remote menu plugin to set timers in the 2nd box from the 1st
one, which is great.

I run vdradmin, and epgsearch to create auto-timers based on epg, which is
also great!

What I would like to do is automatically resolve timer conflicts, and push
the timer event to the 2nd box.

Any thoughts??

[vdr] remotetimers plugin

2007-04-26 Thread Simon Baxter
Hi.

I can't get this plugin to work - I get a "remote timers" and "remote

svdrp works - and so does remoteosd.

Any ideas?

Thanks.  I've found the remotetimers and remoteosd plugins, which at least

[vdr] no transponder/initial file for DVB-C in New Zealand

2007-04-27 Thread Simon Baxter
Hi.
I've just taken receipt of my TT-1500 DVB-C card, but can't find any
channels.

I've run 'dvbsnoop -s pidscan' but find nothing - but as I don't know what
to tune the card to, I guess that's expected?

I found one reference to frequencies and encoding someone had on google and
created a file with:
# TCL Initial Testing

but get:

How can I scan frequescies/channels from scratch

When I boot my provider STB, it comes up with some clues - such as:
QAM64
Freq 586000
then scans saying 'network number 82' and 'provider TelstraClear'

So I updated by itial tuning file to:

# freq sr fec mod
C 58600 690 NONE QAM64
C 58600 586 NONE QAM64

Thanks - got the SymbolRate from my provider, and I now have a
channels.conf file.

Problem is now I get a "channel not available" whenever I tune - although
this might be because the CI/CAM currently isn't attached.

On that subject, with the CAM attached, should I be able to see something
in the 'CAM' menu on vdr-1.5.1 ?  I tried this yesterday, but nothing came
up?  The CI/CAM is being discovered by udev etc.

I took my Irdeto CAM and SmartCard to a friend's place today - it's
definitely not a hardware problem.  In his DreamBox he could access the CAM

plugins/skinenigmang/icons/replay/fastForward1.xpm) is overlaid on a
white/blue icon that looks kind of like a video tape.

Where is the xpm for this blue/white thing?  I'd like to edit it



Thanks

[vdr] remoteosd / multi-box question

2007-05-05 Thread Simon Baxter
Hi.

I use remoteosd to schedule and record programs on a remote device, which I
access from the primary device via an NFS share.

Problem is, new programs only appear in the primary device once VDR
restarts.

Is there a way to refresh recording directories without restarting VDR?

[vdr] CAM/CI Problems

2007-05-07 Thread Simon Baxter
I've been posting a lot of messages lately about problems I'm having
getting my TechnoTrend Budget 1500/CI (dvb-c) and Irdeto CAM working, on
both this and the linux-dvb lists.

As I've not had very many responses, I can only assume there's few people
using this combination, and I probably need to look at addressing the
problem myself.

To summarise my problem:  The DVB card registers properly, and I can scan
channels etc fine.  All the channels available to me are scrambled.  The
CAM seems to register properly also, but I can't access the CAM menu or
decrypt anything.

-VDR flip-flops the CAM between ready/present
-kernel messages "dvb_ca adapter 0: DVB CAM detected and initialised
successfully" repeat over and over
-'gnutv -cammenu' reports "en50221_tl_poll: CAWrite failed" and
"en50221_stdcam_llci_poll: Error reported by stack:-2"
-the card and CAM work fine in a Dreambox and under (Windows) GBPVR


My question is, can anyone suggest any other tools which test CAMs?

Also, I don't really understand how the CAM is accessed - can anyone point
me in the right direction?


Thanks!

Simon

I too use vdr-xine and am playing through a Sony LCD 32".

My recordings were made with pvrinput on NTSC, when I was in the States,
with the vdr-pvrinput set to 4:3.  I'm now back in PAL land and play 16:9
and 4:3 content fine.

My only issue is with old 4:3 NTSC content I recorded in the US.  It's
only the old 4:3/NTSC recordings that are played back with verticle bars
up the sides.

Looks like, from previous threads, this "retuning due to modification of
channel" problem is known?

Perhaps my channels.conf is wrong?

Entries look like this:
E!;T:57:M64:C::305:306=eng:0:1:101:182:1:0
World TV1;T:57:M64:C::385:386=eng:0:1:102:182:1:0
The Arts Channel;T:57:M64:C::35:34=eng:0:1:103:182:1:0

"" - I've stripped the Symbol Rate from this post as my provider
protects this.  The rest is as per 'scan' produced.

Any ideas?

I'm trying to get a picture out of my budget TT-C1500 card/ci/cam and
having little success (but am making progress!).  My cable provider
encrypts everything - so it has to run through the CAM.

You have the wrong format in channels.conf

  Subject: [vdr] How to use vdr with DVB-T - channels.conf error


  Hello everybody,
  I live in Belgium, and would like to setup vdr with a budget DVB-T USB 
Freecom Stick.
  DVB-T is working well on my system with mplayer, xine, Kaffeine.
  I have generated the required channels.conf for that, using scandvb 
application. 
  But, with vdr (1.4.7), my channels.conf does not work.
  I get this error:
  $ ./runvdr
  vdr: error while reading '/video/channels.conf'

  When I use the original channels.conf given with vdr installation, I do not 
get this error, but it does not correspond to my settings so it is useless. 
  The format of given channels.conf seems to be different from the one 
generated by scandvb for DVB-T.
  Here is an excerpt of both files:

  Original VDR channels.conf
  RTL Television,RTL;RTL 
World:12187:hC34:S19.2E:27500:163:104=deu;106=deu:105:0:12003:1:1089:0

  Could somebody help me on that issue? 
  Thx.

[vdr] CAM-CI and multi-channel viewing + slow startup

2007-07-21 Thread Simon Baxter
Hi.

I have just got a TechnoTrend 1500-C budget with CI and Irdeto CAM working
with vdr-1.5.5.

I was hoping to be able to view and record multiple channels in a
boquet/transponder (as I've previously done with a dvb-t card and freeview).
All my channels under dvb-c are encrypted:

Sky 1;T:594000:C0M64:C::529:530:0:606:201:182:2:0
Juice 2;T:594000:C0M64:C::577:578:0:606:204:182:2:0

When I try and record 1 and watch/record the other I get:


Jul 21 22:37:46 media1 vdr: [5680] record
/media/video/vdr/@J2_-_Our_Kind_of_Music_Press_'i'_for_more_information./200

Jul 21 22:37:51 media1 vdr: [5680] info: Channel not available!
Jul 21 22:37:53 media1 vdr: [5680] switching to channel 2


Is there anything I can do to get this working?

Also - when vdr starts up initially, it takes about 20 seconds before I get
a picture:

I've turned on "static bool DebugProtocol = true;"  in ci.c and still get
none of these "CAM 1:" messages  

any ideas?

Sorry, I am getting messages like:
Jul 23 07:38:51 media1 kernel: dvb_ca adapter 0: DVB CAM detected and
initialised successfully
Jul 23 07:38:51 media1 vdr: [4597] CAM 1: module ready

and all (-l3) logs are going to /var/log/messages

But I'm not getting these QUERY messages.  Just get "channel not available"
on the OSD and "info: Channel not available!" in the logs whenever a second
channel in the stream is requested.

Maybe I have a setting in setup.conf which is stopping it even
trying/checking for another channel in the TS?  Or is my channels.conf
wrong?

[vdr] no ci.c QUERY messages???

2007-07-24 Thread Simon Baxter
Hi

I have an Irdeto CAM in a TechnoTrend budget DVB-C card.

vdr doesn't seem to even attempt QUERY to decrypt more than one stream in
the TS.  If I record one stream and try and watch another in the same
boquet, I just get "channel not available".

This is my channels.conf:
Sky 1;T:594000:M64:C::529:530:0:606:201:182:2:0
Juice 2;T:594000:M64:C::577:578:0:606:204:182:2:0

These are my logs:

Jul 22 07:23:51 media1 vdr: [5764] info: Recording started
Jul 22 07:24:01 media1 vdr: [5764] switching to channel 1
Jul 22 07:24:01 media1 vdr: [5764] info: Channel not available!
Jul 22 07:24:03 media1 vdr: [5764] switching to channel 2

looking at ci.c, I thought I should be getting "CAM 1: replies to
QUERY." etc??

715:
   case AOT_CA_PMT_REPLY: {
dbgprotocol("Slot %d: <== Ca Pmt Reply (%d)",
Tc()->CamSlot()->SlotNumber(), SessionId());
if (!repliesToQuery) {
   dsyslog("CAM %d: replies to QUERY - multi channel decryption
possible", Tc()->CamSlot()->SlotNumber());

and 784:
  else if (state == 3 && timer.TimedOut()) {
 dsyslog("CAM %d: doesn't reply to QUERY - only a single channel can be
decrypted", Tc()->CamSlot()->SlotNumber());
 state = 4; // normal operation
 }



any ideas?

[vdr] stuttering video on some channels

2007-07-24 Thread Simon Baxter
I've recently added a dvb-c card, CI and Irdeto CAM to a system running
vdr-1.5.5.  All channels are encrypted.  Some channels (about 20%) seem to
have stuttering video.  I only get a frame every 1/2 second or so - the
video freezes on a frame for 1/2-1 second, then moves to the next frame etc
etc.
There are no messages in /var/log/messages or kernel messages in dmesg.
The only difference in changing to one of the stuttering video channels is a
sequence of "aMAMM" messages in the stdout logs from vdr.

Below is the channels.conf.  The channels 3 & 4 marked with '*' are examples
of the problem channels.  The only common thing between all problem
channels, is they all have a separate PCR PID.  But so do some of the
non-problem channels!

(symbol rates are 'd out - as my provider protects these sorry)

Thanks Klaus.  Changed above to isyslog() and now get:

Jul 25 07:22:00 media1 vdr: [2674] CAM 1: doesn't reply to QUERY - only a
single channel can be decrypted
Jul 25 07:22:04 media1 vdr: [2670] switching to channel 1
Jul 25 07:22:04 media1 vdr: [2670] CAM 1: assigned to device 1

not the result I wanted - but at least I now know!

Can anyone suggest where I can find which CAMs support QUERY ??  If yours
does, can you tell me which model it is??

[vdr] audio skips on NFS recording playback

2007-08-06 Thread Simon Baxter
I have a remote VDR box which holds a bunch of recordings.

I attach from the local VDR box via an NFS share.

Every 2-5 minutes I get a 1/2 second slip in audio, but no logs are written
in /var/logs/messages, kernel messages or on the VDR console.  There are
also no reported errors on eth0.  I don't get these audio slips playing
locally recorded files.

Can anyone suggest any more detailed logs I can look at?  I had suspected
when the playback moved between files (001.vdr  002.vdr  etc) perhaps there
was a slip - but I can't see what file the player is up to.

Is there any logs I can run to show the audio stream being played?



Thanks

Simon

Klaus.  I have now received new Alphacrypt and Alphacrypt Light CAMs to

Can you help me?
Which firmware version are you running?  2.03 or 3.11 ??

Re: [vdr] Mid range CPU choice

2007-08-25 Thread Simon Baxter
I've been running a Shuttle SK43G with 2.2Ghz AMD, silentPC fan, silent 250W 
psu and replaced all the mobo fans with heatsinks for 3 years.

time to replace.  The fan is still quiet, but now the case vibrates a 
little, and the whole thing runs about 61 degrees - which isn't ideal.

I'd like to go fanless and cool.  What I like about the shuttle is it's 
size.  The 1x PCI is fine, as is the VIA unichrome VGA & s-video out.

Any ideas on a small compact fanless (DEAD quiet) case & motherboard??

[vdr] vdr-xine and SP8000E fast enough?

2007-09-10 Thread Simon Baxter
I'm building up a fanless VDR client, and am looking at the VIA EPIA SP8000E 
with tv-out.

Is this 800Mhz processor with MPEG2/4 accelerator fast enough for the vdr-xine 
plugin?

What kind of CPU % can I expect?  With my Shuttle AMD 2.2G and unichrome 
accelerator, and vdr-xine, the cpu sits comfortably about 21%.

[vdr] EPIA mpeg2/4 quality on vdr-xine

2007-09-30 Thread Simon Baxter
Sorry this is a bit off-topic, but...

I'm currently running a Shuttle SK43G with the via/unichrome chipset, running a 
budget card and using vdr-xine as a softdevice.  Since recently adding an LCD 
16:9 I'm now running it at 1360x768 with xine anamorphic, to get 4:3 pictures 
played in the right aspect without black bars up the sides.

I've noticed a quality drop in the picture like this.  It's all just that 
slight bit blurred.

I'm in the throws of buying an EPIA SP8000EG or SP13000 with the mpeg2/4 
accelerator.  Has anyone had experience with these and 16:9 through x-windows?

Any ideas on how to clean up the quality?

[vdr] switch xine/hw decoders on the fly?

Can you switch MPEG decoders on the fly, perhaps through a macro/user key?

I have one box which I share between two LCD screens.  One attached to the 
VGA (using vdr-xine output) and the other attached to the composite output 
of my TT-2300 dvb-c card.

Can I switch outputs without reconfiguring/restarting VDR?

Huh?  I must be missing something.  How do you get VDR to output on the FF

I'm trying to get vdr-xine compiled under FC8 (2.6.23.1-49.fc8)

I downloaded the sources - xine-lib-1.1.8.tar.bz2 which patches ok, but then 
won't compile with the following error:
_cdio_linux.c:415: error: 'INT_MAX' undeclared (first use in this > 
function)

This is the same as Darren Salt has identified on:
http://www.nabble.com/xine-lib-fails-to-build-on-Fedora-8-64bit:-t4930109.html

His suggestion of running ./autogen.sh with the option 
"--without-included-vcdlibs" doesn't change anything, and it also doesn't 
look like a valid option anyway, as I think it's the default "without":

grep -R vcdlibs* *
configure:  --with-internal-vcdlibs force using internal 
libcdio/libvcd/libvcdinfo
configure:# Check whether --with-internal-vcdlibs was given.
configure:if test "${with_internal_vcdlibs+set}" = set; then
configure:  withval=$with_internal_vcdlibs; internal_vcdnav="$withval"
configure.ac:AC_ARG_WITH(internal-vcdlibs, 
AS_HELP_STRING([--with-internal-vcdlibs], [force using internal 
libcdio/libvcd/libvcdinfo]),
misc/xine-lib.spec:--with-internal-vcdlibs
misc/xine-lib.spec:- use internal vcdlibs to keep dependencies low
misc/xine-lib.spec.in:--with-internal-vcdlibs
misc/xine-lib.spec.in:- use internal vcdlibs to keep dependencies low

I tried getting the latest hg of xine-lib, but this won't patch with

patch -d. -p0 < ~/vdr-1.5.12/PLUGINS/src/xine/patches/xine-lib.patch

...with errors in ff_video, video_out_xvmc and video_out_xxmc

OK - I've now rebuilt (again) now with 2.6.23.1-49.fc8   (Fedora Core 8)

I'm now getting a new error trying to build vdr-dvd (see below)

I did find this error:
http://qa.mandriva.com/show_bug.cgi?id=35140

but I can't work out what I need to add the "#include "  ?

Can anyone help?

This is what I don't understand.  Where should I do this 'include'? 
dvdnav/dvdnav.h? ifo_types.h? player-dvd.h? dvd.h? dvd.c?
Nothing seems to make any difference??

[vdr] mp3 plug-in (or other) play WMA?

2007-12-20 Thread Simon Baxter
Hi

I've been hunting through the archives, and can't see anything positive on 
this.

Looks like libsndfile supports Windows Media format (not that I've tried). 
Has anyone got this format working under the mp3-plugin?

[vdr] FF 2300-C card need audio via sound card

2007-12-22 Thread Simon Baxter
Hi.  I'm trying to get VDR to send DVB-C audio via the sound card rather 
than via the FF (mono) port.

I've tried:
./vdr -a 'a52dec'
./vdr -a 'a52dec -o oss'
./vdr -a 'a52dec -o ossdolby'

but get nothing

"a52dec -h" gives me:


a52dec-0.7.4 - by Michel Lespinasse <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> and Aaron Holtzman
a52dec: invalid option -- h
usage: a52dec [-o ] [-s []] [-t ] [-c] [-r] [-a] \
[-g ] 
-s  use program stream demultiplexer, track 0-7 or 0x80-0x87
-t  use transport stream demultiplexer, pid 0x10-0x1ffe
-c  use c implementation, disables all accelerations
-r  disable dynamic range compression
-a  disable level adjustment based on output mode
-g  add specified gain in decibels, -96.0 to +96.0
-o  audio output mode
oss
ossdolby
oss4
oss6
wav
wavdolby
aif
aifdolby
peak
peakdolby
null
null4
null6
float


And I can get mplayer to work with:
mplayer -ao oss



Any helpful hints??


Thanks
Simon

doesn't matter now, audio quality out of the DVB card is ok.

Have now tried this with xineliboutput as well - and get the following:

Different this time - "kernel NULL pointer dereference" rather than 
"mm/vmalloc.c:348"


any ideas??

[vdr] bad hardware combo EPIA SP1300 & TT-2300 FF?

2007-12-26 Thread Simon Baxter
Hi

I've been building a new fanless VDR box.  Would like to provide some 
feedback, and perhaps attract some comments and suggestions :)

Hardware: EPIA SP-1300 mounted in a low profile heatsink Serener GA-L01 
case, 120G 2.5" laptop drive (plus NFS share to central VDR 'recorder'), 1G 
DDR400 RAM and a TT-2300-C FF card + CI/CAM

Software: Fedora Core 8 (2.6.23.9-85.fc8), vdr-1.5.12, plugins:mplayer/mp3, 
remote, vdr-xine, dvd, epgsearch

Comments:
-Really quiet, which was the main purpose of this build.
-would have liked to take advantage of the motherboard MPEG2/4 features but 
am still having problems with xvmc/xxmc with vdr-xine - keep getting kernel 
"vmalloc" ERRORS
-no problems with vdr itself or the other plugins at this stage
-Mplayer playing via "mpegpes" has to run with the "slow cpu" switch in 
mplayer.sh.conf - even then some 900x700 XVID .avi files need 85% cpu.  So 
quality is not that flash
-not sure if I can use motherboard MPEG4 acceleration with output on the 
TT-2300 FF composite video out to improve cpu/heat usage?
-this combination of local VDR box in the lounge with remote 'recorder' 
isn't ideal - as all the timers are only available via the 'remote' menu

Cheers - and hope everyone had a great xmas!
