Hi,
I've just upgraded from vdr-1.3.24+vdr-0.7.2 to vdr-1.3.24+vdr-0.7.2.
And I've discovered vdr is now using my budget card (card #2) for live
tv while it was using the ff one (card #1) before.
PrimaryDVB = 3
xine.autoPrimaryDeviceMode = autoPrimaryDeviceOff
I don't use the FF output at all, but I'd prefer to have the FF card
used for live TV.
Is there something I missed ? is there a setting for that ?
(iirc, a change concerning the fact vdr prefers budget cards to record
has been made in …
[View More]vdr but i'm not sure it's really related)
Ideally I'd love that to be configurable on a channel basis.
For ex in channels.conf, having the CA field set to '1,2,realCA' would
make vdr prefer card #1 for live watching. (or to record)
hmm but atm that's not really the point, I would prefer to make
vdr+xine use the FF card for live watching. (and the budget to
record).
Any advice ?
TIA

Hi,
I use vdr to view the ´tagesschau´ some time delayed every day.
This leads to a collection of many recordings of this program
but I am only interested in viewing the last one.
Therefore I wished that old recordings disappear after some
days to retain my overview and to increase my operating comfort.
I thought that the parameter ´lifetime´ would be a solution for
this problem, but this parameter is only a very soft hint to the
vdr to kill some programs if it needs the disk space.
To …
[View More]fullfill my requirements I modified vdr in that way that it
kills programs after expiry of the given lifetime without
any ifs and buts.
The only condition is that the given lifetime lies below some
limit (like 10 days).
I added a new setup parameter ´hard-lifetime-limit´ which lets
you control this limit.
By default this parameter is zero and the vdr behaves like
before.
If you increase this value then any lifeteme which lies below
this limit is treated as a hard lifetime limit and programs are
killed in the described manner.
Is anybody interested in this patch?
Regards, thus

Hi All,
I am currently using fedora core 3 as my VDR box and it has served me
reasonably well.
However I have just switched from using Hauppauge Nova-T & Nova-S budget
cards with a Hollywood+ card and DXR3 plugin to using a Matrox G550 and
softdevice+DirectFB.
I want a distro that has all the latest versions of plugins ( especially
femon, streamdev, remote, mplayer, dvd, softdevice) and latest
development releases of VDR + XDirectFB, DirectFB, DFB++ available as
packages that can be …
[View More]easily added /removed.
I would also like it to be fast and the base OS to be stable and easy to
keep updated.
>From what I have looked at so far Gentoo is looking pretty good.
Any comments / suggestions ?

Hello,
I adapted one of my earlier patches for the actual vdr-1.3.24.
If there is a recording played, there is now a new entry in the main menu to
get the summary directly.
Runs with vdr-1.3.24, but should also be ok together with the bigpatch (some
hunks, but succesfully).
For download see:

have fun.

I'm in the process of building a new vdr box with an Epia mini-itx motherboard
and I intend to build it into the case of an old video recorder. The front
panel has loads of buttons on it such as play, pause, rew, stop, rec, etc.
and it would be really good if I could connect these up.
:-)
I have bought a USB numeric keypad (meant for laptops) that I found cheap in a
sale and I have rewired the buttons on the front panel of the video into a
matrix and connected them in place of the …
[View More]numeric keypad (it is basically
just a small usb module with a keypad membrane plugged into it). All seems to
work: I get a new usb input device when I attach it and if I cat the relevant
input device, I can see the keypresses. So far so good.
My problem now is how to actually use the thing to control vdr! At the moment,
the keyboard driver is grabbing it and all I get is a series of keycodes such
as numbers, *, /, -, etc. I am using vdr with a LIRC remote but it also has
the keyboard remote compiled in, and, at the moment, pressing random buttons
on the front panel does strange things, as would be expected!
I can see at least two options:
1. Delete my remote.conf and program the 'keyboard' remote using the front
panel (I won't be able to use the proper keyboard to control vdr but I'm sure
I can cope with that!).
2. Use the remote plugin with the input device. If I do this, I will still be
getting random commands sent to vdr through the keyboard driver, unless I can
remove the usb keyboard driver and get the remote plugin to talk to the
remote plugin using a raw device, or something.
Has anyone managed to do something like this? I know that it is possible to
use buttons attached to a gameport in conjunction with the joystick plugin
but this motherboard does not have a gameport.
Thoughts?
Cheers,
Laz

Hi,
A new version of the OSD picture in picture plugin is available at
http://www.magoa.net/linux/index.php?view=osdpip
A small patch is needed for vdr. It fixes a problem regardings osd usage
and will be included in future versions of vdr.
changes since 0.0.7.2:
- Added Navigation through channel in a way like with ordinary VDR. Use
the Left/Right keys to select channel groups, OK to choose one or the
number keys to directly enter a channel number. All this only works with
enabled info …
[View More]window.
- Extended the info window to contain more information. The amount of
information shown can be chosen through the setup menu. This directly
affects the height of the info window.
- Using the info window to show vdr messages if they occur.
- Changed the manner the moving of the PiP window works. Now move mode
is enabled or disabled by pressing the green button. In move mode, the
cursor keys can be used to move the PiP window.
- Added some more predefined PiP window sizes. You have to reset your
size in setup menu.
- Added support for ffmpeg 0.4.9 (works with 0.4.8, too)
- Updated finnish translations (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg)
- Cleaned up, dropped support for vdr versions older than 1.3.8

Hi there,
I debugged a bit my "EPG Scan not working" problem, and maybe I found a bug:
in eitscan.c around line 160 theres something like
if (Device->ProvidesTransponder(Channel))
I found out that this method always returns 0 here, therefore preventing
the EPG Scan to start.
ProvidesTRransponder() is defined in dvbdevice.c line 776, and it reads:
bool cDvbDevice::ProvidesTransponder(const cChannel *Channel) const
{
return ProvidesSource(Channel->Source())
&& ((Channel-…
[View More]>Source() & cSource::st_Mask) != cSource::stSat
|| Diseqcs.Get(Channel->Source(),
Channel->Frequency(),Channel->Polarization()));
}
ProvidesSource() returns 1 here, but the second expression is always
zero, both sides of the ||
the first one I do understand: I'm on Sat only. The second one is clear
to me, too: I'm not using diseq at all. So this returns 0, too.
But I have no idea how this sould be fixed.
Any ideas?
thanks a lot,
Michael (who wants a working EPG scan for threee years now :-)

Can anyone explain why I get these messages in the log and the box crashes?
This has started happening with alarming regularity. Its making the VDR box
virtually unusable because I cant trust it to be available to record. The
only way to clear this seems to be to get the TT card to reload, ie reboot
the VDR box.
Any clues, assistance, points accepted. This is a Linux 6.11.5 build, with
the stock DVB drivers. VDR is v1.3.23

Hi I have run scan with the -u option which then adds a comment like this
":@1" before every channel which is the channel's number. It works fine
but the problem is vdr seems to totaly ignore these comments! Any ideas?
Thanks
Hi there,
I wonder what *should* happen when I press "Scan" (red) in the EPG setup
menu. I think this should trigger a full EPG scan, tuning to every
transponder at least for one channel.
But here nothing happens. Is this the intended behaviour? Or did I miss
something?
TIA, Michael
