Hi,
there used to be a thread in the German-speaking vdrportal about developing
a driver for the http://www.allwell.tv/ EM8621L PCI card but the discussion
seems to be dead as far as development.
How about the Odyssey development or evaluation kits from Sigma Designs
themselves?
http://www.sigmadesigns.com/products/odyssey_features_specifications.htm
has the specs. Sounds very promising for HDTV.
Anybody???
And while we're at it - the em8300 Hollywood cards appear to be able to
decode a …
[View More]720p MPEG2 stream. Does that mean if I convert a HDTV stream to a
MPEG2 stream (and possibly rescale it from 1920x1080 to 1280x720), and
throw the resulting stream at the card it will provide a proper picture?
What CPU would be needed for this? Just curious. A full hardware decoder
like the 8620 family is definitively the better solution, especially with a
DVI out.
How about the EM8400 plugin? Any success?

Hello,
I have two annoing errors with the burn plugins
1) freeze when removing finished job
* some times, the OSD freezes, and no watchdog restarts VDR, when I
manually erase a finished job from the VDR menu
* only a restart can solve the freeze, but then the temporary files
remain on-disk without possibility to delete them unless using SSH
* (as a side-note, I think the limit between user interface and
background jobs is not exactly at the right place : one should be able
to run all tasks in …
[View More]one script run, and maybe get back the OSD
counterpart of a dead job, after restart)
2) shell character escape missing
* the DVD title "C'est pas sorcier" (note the ') gives a shell error
* from the dvd.log file :
++ started: sh -c '/usr/share/vdr-plugin-burn/vdrburn.sh BURN
'/home/video/.vdr-burn.R6MZM8' '/dev/dvd' 'C'est pas sorcier''
sh: -c: line 1: unexpected EOF while looking for matching `''

I've problems with playback of recording where two aspect ratio changes
occurs in a short time. This causes audio and video to lose their sync.
Usually this happens when last ad in commercial break is in 16:9 format,
"returning to program"-clip is 4:3 and the program is again in 16:9 format.
After this sequence video playback starts to drop frames and audio gets
played late compared to video. Rewinding or forwarding the playback a bit
corrects the problem until the next commercial break ends.
…
[View More]I uploaded a short example clip (12,1MB) to:
http://kotisivu.suomi.net/izero/001.vdr
Tested with vanilla vdr, versions 1.3.27, 1.3.33 and 1.3.36 and ttpci
firmware versions 261a, 261d and 261f. Nothing is printed to syslog when
this happens. Any ideas what might cause this?

Hi
I recently suggested adding proper ALSA output to the MP3 plugin. Reason:
I switched over to softdevice and have no FF card in my system any more
(the CPU is not the box heater, as opposed to the rev 1.3 card before ;-)
and hence can't use the J2 SPDIF out any more.
I noticed last night that softdevice AC3 SPDIF does work for the MP3 plugin
as the DVB output channel if MP3 is configured for DVB. D'oh. *rolling
eyes*
So - for now I'm not going to dig into it - lacking time.

softdevice cvs
vdr 1.3.34
kernel 2.6.14-rc3 using kernel ALSA drivers
I have got softdevice working with sound via SPDIF for PCM, but cant get
AC3 to pass through to the decoder, mplayer and ac3dec both pass AC3 no
problem, but with softdevice I get error:
ac3play: Unable to update the IEC958 control: No such file or directory
-P"softdevice -vo dfb: -ao alsa:pcm=default#ac3=hw:0,0#"

it doesnt matter which of the above commandlines I use, same error all
the time.
ALSA lib is 1.0.10-rc3, Driver is 1.0.10-rc1.
Any ideas?

hi vdr +dvd doesn't work on me...dvd plugin starts reading the dvd but
when it comes to play...it crashes vdr when there's something about
audio :/ does the plugin uses the same audio device as vdr?
Best Regards
João Mamede
As of 2.6.15-rc1 (actually the change was originally made in 2.6.14-git8), there
is no more /dev/input/event0 node. The nodes now start at event1 and up. This
breaks the autodetect feature in the remote plugin for VDR. I was able to
kludge a fix by hacking the default to the event I am currently using, but a
real fix should be made instead.
This is *hacked* fix for a remote that is using event3. This only a kludge.

Hi all,
this is the first release of AutoSort-Plugin.
Description:
AutoSort Plugin adds the capability to define rules for automatically
sorting your channels.conf with every housekeeping thread.
You have to define some rules in autosort.conf, like this:
FreeTV:HasNoCa:Sort
Premiere:HasProvider=premiere:Sort
whitch results in channels.conf like:
your old channels
:Auto Sort
:FreeTV
ARD...
BR-alpha...
...
:Premiere
Premiere 1...
...
:Unsorted
other channels
------------------…
[View More]--------------------------------------------------------------
Please keep in mind that this is early beta state, so
don't forget to backup your channels.conf before trying
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Comments and bug reports are welcome.

I guess it could be that I have to put up an additional screen-section

derive from s.th. totally different?
Any help is greatly appreciated!

Hi,
Sorry if it's a trivial question (or a non-sense one), i'm wondering
how I could change the priority of the receiver when xine is connected
to vdr-xine. (i may not be using the correct vocabulary)
In fact i'd like to resolve some priorities issues. I'm running 2 vdr
instances, both with vdr-xine; one is accessing the dvb devices and
running streamdev-server, the other one just running streamdev-client.
I'd like streamdev-server not to take over vdr-xine when xine is
connected to vdr. I …
[View More]thought i could do that playing priorities.
Could you give a little explanation on how i could do that ?
TIA.
