[vdr] 1-2 second gaps in recordings from Finnish YLE channels
Hello everyone I have noticed an annoying feature in my VDR setup and finally today found the motivation to do something about it. In at least some of the recordings I've made from the Finnish YLE- channels there is a small gap at the start of the actual program and VDR has chosen to record the rest of the program in a new file. This is also visible in live viewing and lately I noticed that this seems to occur pretty much every time at the start of the news, so today I recorded a small sample while saving the same channel on another, identical, adapter using: czap -a 1 -c channels.conf -r 'Yle TV1' cp /dev/dvb/adapter1/dvr0 2014-10-12-tv1.out.ts The files produced can be found here (about 200 MB): https://www.dropbox.com/sh/zhaaowk83dmc85n/AABhEW_DfSgvg2yyIclb3WKAa?dl=0 The news program starts at about 2 min 15 seconds into the recordings I know there are several other Finns lurking around on this list, but as far as I know no-one else has reported this. I'm guessing that the problem has something to do with subtitles and/or audio tracks, but I'm certainly no expert. I'm running VDR 2.1.6 with the following plugins: -Pxineliboutput -Psuspendoutput -Pfemon -Pskinsoppalusikka -Pepgsearch -Pepgfixer -Premote -Pskinnopacity and the binaryskip-patch from: http://www.saunalahti.fi/~rahrenbe/vdr/patches/index.php I will test to see if the same happens with vanilla VDR and just the xineliboutput-plugin. -- Juho Törmä ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr

It is not necessary, but having a remote with different order of coulours, it is weird to have them in a different order on the OSD and in the remote. Plus the skip 1min forwards and 1min backwards during a replay of a recording - it would be nicer to have the buttons in the right order in the remote for this. But naturally these are not functional problems, they are usability issues (and not a very big issue for me). Do you actually *have* a remote control with non-standard color keys? My HTPC case came with a non-standard remote, but I solved the problem as a hardware issue and swapped the buttons on the remote. All it took was scissors and a small piece of tape. Still, I think configurable buttons is a good idea. -- Juho Törmä ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr

Are there some news since then ? I built a new SandyBridge-based VDR-machine last May and was sorely disappointed by the intel video drivers. My initial solution was an old nvidia card, but about a month ago I finally found a tear-free combination of drivers and settings. .xine/config_xineliboutput: video.output.opengl_renderer:2D_Tex vdr-sxfe --video=opengl I run a gentoo system and the following versions are propably relevant: x11-drivers/xf86-video-intel-2.17.0-r3 media-libs/xine-lib-1.2.

[vdr] VDR 1.7 and no subtitles with old PES recordings
I'm contemplating updating my trusty 1.6.0 to the latest development version, but I can't seem to get DVB subtitles from old recordings to work. Subtitles are shown corretly both when viewing live tv and when viewing new recordings, but when viewing old PES recordings VDR just says that no subtitles are available. I'm using vanilla VDR and the xineliboutput plugin. I searched through the archives and the only mention of a similar problem I could find is the one below, but unfortunately no solution. - Forwarded message from Josce jo...@welho.com - Date: Fri, 06 Feb 2009 15:55:55 +0200 From: Josce jo...@welho.com To: vdr@linuxtv.org Subject: [vdr] vdr 1.7.4 PTS on old recordings (PES) I am using vdr 1.7.4 + reelbox plugins (svn today) + the patch provided by Ales Jurik, http://www.linuxtv.org/pipermail/vdr/2009-February/019504.html I managed to get the STC working with the reelbox plugin, by setting audio to soundcard.
