Extrecmenu 0.13 fail to compile with vdr-1.5.6
by Carlos Javier Borroto 24 Sep '07

24 Sep '07

I love Extrecmenu plugin, in fact I'll love to see all of its features on vanilla vdr. After upgrading to vdr-1.5.6(hooch patched version) it fail to compile: Plugin extrecmenu: make[1]: se ingresa al directorio `/home/cjavier/src/vdr-hooch/vdr-1.5.6/PLUGINS/src/extrecmenu-0.13' ccache g++-3.4 -g -O2 -Wall -Woverloaded-virtual -fPIC -c -D_GNU_SOURCE -DPLUGIN_NAME_I18N='"extrecmenu"' -I../../../include extrecmenu.c ccache g++-3.4 -g -O2 -Wall -Woverloaded-virtual -fPIC -c -D_GNU_SOURCE -DPLUGIN_NAME_I18N='"extrecmenu"' -I../../../include mymenurecordings.c mymenurecordings.c: In destructor `virtual myMenuRecordings::~myMenuRecordings()': mymenurecordings.c:407: error: no se encuentra una función coincidente para la llamada a `cFont::SetFont(eDvbFont)' ../../../include/vdr/font.h:51: nota: los candidatos son: static void cFont::SetFont(eDvbFont, const char*, int) mymenurecordings.c:409: error: no se encuentra una función coincidente para la llamada a `cFont::SetFont(eDvbFont)' ../../../include/vdr/font.h:51: nota: los candidatos son: static void cFont::SetFont(eDvbFont, const char*, int) make[1]: *** [mymenurecordings.o] Error 1 make[1]: se sale del directorio `/home/cjavier/src/vdr-hooch/vdr-1.5.6/PLUGINS/src/extrecmenu-0.13' Note: My system it is in spanish, if is important, a could try to generate a compile log with warnings and errors in english. The patch to substitute the vdr original menu, also fail. Any patch or any advice to get Extrecmenu working with a new vdr version? regards -- Carlos Javier Habana, CUBA

Errorreturncode from Makefile possible?
by Torsten Kunkel 22 Sep '07

22 Sep '07

Hi, I would love it, if the Makefile could give an errorcode if something went wrong. Normally I'm using "make plugins && ./runvdr" when testing plugins. But if the compile of one or many plugins failes, the makefile gives an OK, and vdr starts (with the old plugincode). Would be great if this could be changed. Torsten

by Markus Ingalsuo 21 Sep '07

21 Sep '07

Hi! I'm looking for Conax CAM:s that support more than two simultaneous streams. I have a 'Dual CA Conax & Irdeto' which only supports watching two channels at a time and I need four or more. Has someone allready done some documentation on CAM:s somewhere? If not, I could document your experiences and share the information. Sincerely Markus Ingalsuo

[Wishlist] Loggingsection in the PLUGIN.html
by Torsten Kunkel 21 Sep '07

21 Sep '07

Hi Klaus, I noticed there isn't any wird about the loggingmechanism in the plugin.html, so you have to search through the existing code in order to see how to use it. Maybe this should be added. Shure, it's not very important, but because there is a common loggingmechanism, it should receive one or two sentences :) Maybe something like (just an idea): ----- If the plugin should print logmessages you can use dsyslog, isyslog or esyslog. <ul> <li> dsyslog prints the logmessage only if the loglevel of vdr is set to the level DEBUG.</li> <li> isyslog prints the logmessage only if the loglevel of vdr is set to the level INFO.</li> <li> esyslog always prints the logmessage.</li> </ul> The output of this log is the syslog of the system vdr is running on. The logmessage can be formatted like printf. Note: The logmessage will be given as provided, the pluginname will not automatically be added, so make shure your logmessages are obvious enough. ----- Greetings Torsten

new transponders/channels
by e9hack 20 Sep '07

20 Sep '07

Hi, it seems, that vdr 1.5.9 isn't able to find new channels or transponders on DVB-C. If I switch back to 1.4.47, vdr finds new channels. - Hartmut

Convert video clip to .vdr format
by spam＠streefland.net 18 Sep '07

18 Sep '07

I'm trying to convert video clips from my camera (KonicaMinolta A200) to .vdr format, so that I can watch them using vdr, but so far I had no success. The format is MJPEG 640x480 30fps, with PCM audio (7875x16x1). I can convert it to MPEG4 with: transcode -i "$in" -x mov,ffbin -y ffmpeg -F mpeg4 -N 0x55 --no_audio_adjust -E 11025,16,1 -o "$out" but i cannot convert it to MPEG2. I found some hints that I could use mplayer to do the conversion, something like: | $ mplayer pict0002.mov -ao mpegpes -vo mpegpes:001.vdr | MPlayer 2:1.0~rc1-0ubuntu9 (C) 2000-2006 MPlayer Team | CPU: AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 4600+ (Family: 15, Model: 75, Stepping: 2) | CPUflags: MMX: 1 MMX2: 1 3DNow: 1 3DNow2: 1 SSE: 1 SSE2: 1 | Compiled with runtime CPU detection. | Can't open joystick device /dev/input/js0: No such file or directory | Can't init input joystick | mplayer: could not connect to socket | mplayer: No such file or directory | Failed to open LIRC support.

(End of file) However, when I play this with vdr (after generating the index.vdr file with genindex), this video is not the right size, it skips every few seconds and there is no sound. What do I have to do to get a proper vdr recording? -- Dick

Subject says it all. It's just way too much work to transcode files if I want to send a clip to friends. -- Torgeir Veimo torgeir(a)pobox.com
