Re: [vdr] DIVX recordings? :)
Hi, I've generated H264 TS with VLC but VDR cannot play it. Avidemux can produce only MPEG2 TS and it also doesn't work with VDR. Mencoder doesn't support TS as output container at all. Is there a way to produce TS that would work with VDR? Michal On 09/05/2010 02:38 PM, Teemu Suikki wrote: Hi! This is a good idea, I didn't think about that!

Anyway, here it goes. :) I often compress my older recordings to Divx, to save space. However I never remember to watch them because they don't show up in VDR recordings anymore. :) I know I can watch them with the Mplayer plugin, but it's not convenient, especially if you are recording some series and half of the episodes are divx and half VDR.. So basicly I would like to be able to compress vdr recording to divx, but still view it like normal VDR recording. It would be quite enough to simply launch mplayer-plugin for the file if divx format is detected? Editing etc is not necessary at all. This is probably something I can do myself, but I just thought I ask in case someone else has already done something similar. :) there ist a archive patch for vdr that will link a archive dvd into recordings and there is a media detection plugin (for dvd, audio cd, ...) it could be possible to look for divx, gather informations and build representations of that divx into recordings directory and if a divx recording is selected it will have to recognize that and branch to the proper replay plugin - but that's all very dirty and complicated, maybe its easier to write a plugin that gathers all information about recordings, divx, dvd-images, ... and put that into a small database and instead of opening the recordings function open this plugin (like open epg search instead of the normal epg function of vdr) and select a media entry (recording, divx, ...) and the plugin will handle what happens next (normal recording or mplayer, ...) xxv does have a db function for recordings, maybe its possible to use that as base? there is a media library function, maybe already something in that direction, a kind of front end vdr-plugin (graphics representation because xxv is made for use with browser) for that medialib function could do the magic? xxv itself can also be extended by modules http://www.linuxtv.org/vdrwiki/index.php/Xxv or just use the filebrowser plugin? thats the way reel multimedia solved it with the ReelBox Avantgard (vdr based) http://vdr.nasenbaeren.net/filebrowser/ ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr

Re: [vdr] DIVX recordings? :)
You can always just use mplayer to watch your VDR recordings. In my case it actually works better because there's a bug in xine which causes ac3 audio dropouts, which makes live recorded HDTV (h264+ac3) basically unwatchable until this is fixed. However, mplayer is able to play the recordings just fine at least so for now we're forced into using it. Live tv of course is still no good but it's better then nothing I guess.
