Hi Everyone
My machine has (among others) a PVR-500 dual-channel analog card and I'm
running vdr-1.6.0 with pvrinput-2008-07-05.
you should upgrade to our new pvrinput version:
Hi,
Anybody could recommand a usb dvb-s card (or dvb-s2 but it is not a must) fully
linux compatible (so that it works with vdr 1.7.x)
Cheers,
Art

I have have witness the same behavior with screen blinking with
xineliboutput (vdr-sxfe as remote client while connecting with TCP
transport to the vdr-server) when changing the channels. I often get
screen blinking when I change the channels to fast with my MCE remote
(using the MCE remote arrows
I use XXV to edit the channels.conf. It gives you a very good GUI in
your web browser, and you can easy edit and sort these fields in
channels.conf:
Position
Name
Transponder frequency
Signal source
Various parameters, depending on signal source
Symbol rate
Video PID
Linux DVB wiki has lot of information about Usb dvb-s cards working

Hello,
Did anybody try to compile latest wirblescan plugin for vdr 1.7.14? I
mean version 0.0.5-pre11e. I've got these errors:

My local stations here in the US are doing the reverse on all primary
atsc channels. They add bars to the side for anything that is not wide
screen to make it wide screen. So 4:3 stuff on my 4:3 tv are in a little
window because the software then adds bars top and bottom to put it back
to 4:3

I am pretty sure that your TV station broadcasts analogue TV not
anamorphic, which means it delivers the black bars to prevent the
aspect ?ratio of a 16:9 content.

Found the original hack (attached).
It will take time to have a look at your code.
Just to let you know:
The current pvrinput source allows to execute

You _could_ write some functions to detect and remove letterboxing,
though I don't know anyone motivated enough to actually do it.
The main goal of the pvrinput-plugin is to use the hardware encoder.I
think it
is a bad idea to do software-based on-the-fly-recoding.
Simon, which output device
If you want to limit the plugin to using only the hardware then I
agree. However, if you want to provide capabilities beyond what the
hardware is capable of then software is the only other place to do it.
This is perfectly fine, although it probably means the user wasted
his money on a hardware
