softdevice with menu&audio but no video
by Darren Wilkinson 29 Jun '07

29 Jun '07

I've recently built my first linuxfromscratch system to use as a base for a vdr-box with a budget card and all had gone well. I'm using ffmpeg 0.4.9-pre1 from the lfs website with the softdevice plugin. The problem is that although I can hear the channel playing and I can see and use the vdr menus using softdevice I can't view the actual program wether or not it's live or recorded. The terminal gives the "initializing the mpeg decoder" message but no error messages. I'm grateful for any help.

Hi all, Here is a small patch for all Premiere watchers who want to use UTF-8 encoding. The patch simply changes the default character set that is used when no encoding is broadcasted. Kind regards, Stefan

[vdr-1.5.5][Patch] inc/dec character not working for ÄÖÜ in non-UTF8
by Udo Richter 28 Jun '07

28 Jun '07

Hi Klaus, Found a bug in VDR-1.5.5 in non-UTF8 mode. In any text field, when the cursor is on an uppercase non-ASCII character like ÄÖÜ, the up/down key jumps directly to A. The core problem is that the non-UTF8 version of Utf8ToArray sign-extends chars to uints, turning the ä of the allowed chars into 0xFFFFFFE4, while the towlower() of the edit control changes the Ä into 0x000000E4, which is then not in the list of allowed characters. Lowercase works, since here everything stays sign-extended. The attached patch changes Utf8ToArray to properly extend chars as unsigned. Cheers, Udo --- vdr-1.5.5-orig/tools.c 2007-06-23 15:38:30.000000000 +0200 +++ vdr-1.5.5/tools.c 2007-06-28 21:10:58.000000000 +0200 @@ -685,7 +685,7 @@ int n = 0; while (*s && --Size > 0) { if (cCharSetConv::SystemCharacterTable()) - *a++ = *s++; + *a++ = (unsigned char)(*s++); else { int sl = Utf8CharLen(s); *a++ = Utf8CharGet(s, sl);

Xineliboutput and Lirc forwarding
by Alex Stansfield 28 Jun '07

28 Jun '07

Hi, I've recently decided to try xineliboutput over my usual choice of xine plugin. So far I've pretty happy with it but can't for the life of me get the lirc forwarding to work. Lirc is installed, the controller is setup and tested to work (it's an mceusb2). Vdr is compiled with lirc support, when I start it the lircd reports that a client connected to the device. I copied the example remote.conf from xineliboutput to vdr's config directory. When I start vdr-sxfe with --lirc and --verbose it starts and shows me the tv. When I click 'up' on the remote (which is one of the buttons configured in the example remote.conf) VDR does nothing, a look at the console shows that vdr-sxfe caught the lirc call and dealt with it. It seems it's not getting to vdr. It's the same with any button I press, whether it's in remote.conf or not. The keyboard (also configured in the remote.conf example) works fine and I can control VDR perfectly with it. Have I missed a step? The instructions regarding the use of lirc with xineliboutput were pretty short. Any help greatfully appreciated. Let me know if you need me to provide any config files, etc. Cheers, Alex

Freeview Playback
by Alex Stansfield 26 Jun '07

26 Jun '07

Hi, with the launch of Freeview Playback in the UK, I was wondering if anyone here knew how the series links were sent to the dvb box. Freeview Playback is a system by which series link information is sent to the dvb box, allowing someone to select to record a whole series. Some sort of link information is sent, I guess in the epg, about each episode so that the dvb box can be sure it's always recording unique episodes of a series. I thought that support for Freeview Playback would be an excellent addition to plugins like epgsearch. If anyone knows any more about how the system works or has the DTG specification (can't see it on their website) please let me know. Cheers, Alex

Dual Tuner Cards
by Alex Stansfield 26 Jun '07

26 Jun '07

Hi, This seems like a pretty dumb question but I hadn't seen it mentioned before and just wanted to check. I'm looking to buy a dual tuner card, most likely the WinTV Nova-T 500. My question is, as long as the card is supported in Linux will vdr treat it as two dvb-t devices? Cheers, Alex
