Hi! I use a little script (-> http://loescher-online.de/progdata/vdr2mp4 ) which runs on my VDR every night and encodes all new recordings to MP4. With the Android app FolderSync I synchronize the MP4s with my mobile. Then I can view it when traveling with the app MXPlayer. I have never tried

Re: [vdr] broken recordings

Hi! You could also try to start VDR with the highest possible IO priority, e.g. ionice -c2 -n0 vdr ... That helped some years ago on my old VDR server to ensure, that no other process gets more IO priority than VDR. Regards, Stephan. Am 08/08/2016 um 10:53 PM schrieb Patrick Boettcher: On

Hi! I am planning to build a new VDR system for HDTV and DVB-S2. So I am searching for DVB-S2 tuners either PCIe (low profile) or USB. The best tuner would be one which is supported by the vanilla Linux kernel without patching or installing additional drivers. (Installing a firmware file is no

Hi Timo, Sorry for contacting you directly. Do you have the three quoted DVB-cards running in your VDR? I ask, because I plan to build a new VDR and I am looking for good cards which should work fine, ideally with the vanilla kernel. Best regards, Stephan. Am 12/15/2014 um 08:11 PM schrieb
