[vdr] [ANNOUNCE] epgsync-0.0.2

2006-09-27 Thread Frank Schmirler
Hi there,

epgsync-0.0.2 is now available. It fixes a possible segfault, so everyone who
uses epgsync should update. The segfault is triggered when the svdrpservice
plugin encounters an unexpected error while processing an LSTE command (e.g.
SVDRP connection lost, line exceeds buffer length, ...).

Changelog:
- Fixed segfault when svdrpservice plugin encountered a problem while syncing
(reported by [EMAIL PROTECTED])
- Now running as a low priority thread to get rid of (or at least reduce) the
impact epgsync had in some environments (thanks to Artur Skawina)

Epgsearch is available at http://vdr.schmirler.de.

Enjoy,
Frank

Please post the output of evtest for
- a single (short) keypress 
- a long keypress

I have the same problem using a nexus-s ir sensor and the grey remote with lirc.
 Evtest seems to show the right output, but lirc detects double key presses. If
I set the toggle_bit in lircd.conf to "2", then I do not get double key presses
with lirc, but the key repeat is then disabled permanently.  If I use
"inputlirc" instead of regular "lirc", then the key presses work as expected.
Unfortunately, vdr does not seem to work with inputlirc.  It would be nice to
get lirc to function properly when accessing /dev/input/eventX when using a
hauppauge remote and ir sensor.  When I build lirc, I configure it with
"--with-driver=devinput".

[vdr] Control Plugin and Keys F1 - F12

2006-09-27 Thread Rene Bartsch
Hi,

when using the Control-Plugin with Telnet keyboard keys F1 - F12 do not work.
Are there any settings/escape-sequences to activate that keys or isn't it
possible to use them?

Thanx for any hint

what does "At the moment it publishes parts of the local OSD menu

No, there's no graphics. svdrpext keeps track of the events available through
the VDR cStatus interface - just like the control plugin. The control plugin
offers the information it gathered as "pseudo graphics" via telnet. Svdrpext
in contrast publishes it in SVDRP. The remoteosd plugin uses this to recreate
the server OSD on a client VDR.

Frank

[vdr] HTTP-Version of Control-Plugin?

2006-09-27 Thread Rene Bartsch
Hi,

is there any plugin working like the control plugin but using HTTP instead
of Telnet? This would allow to control VDR from a Browser. OSD options
could be links and keypresses could be catched by JavaScript.

Thanx for any hint

You might want to take a look at the remote plugin which has a telnet option
similar to the control plugin. The remote plugin will learn the keys first, so
you shouldn't have problems with the F* keys no matter which term setting your
telnet client uses. Besides the control plugin tends to enter an infinite loop
after logging off (or has this been fixed in the meantime?).

Actually, I do use it (I even posted streamdev patches for VDRadmin about
3 years ago).

But VDRadmin only provides access to SVDRP, which means a lot of OSD
options are not accessible for budget-streaming-only users (settings by
OSD, channelscan ...)

But the remote plugin doesn't have OSD, does it?

The question is, how can I remotely maintain OSD-settings on a
streaming-only VDR (no keyboard, no monitor, ...)

Using remote and control plugin at the same time means switching between
terminals for typing/reading and may cause conflicts between them.

I remember to have used vdradmin remotely (actually 1500 km away) accessing OSD 
by the preview option and the web remote control, setting refresh to 1 second !

The only problem I got (and I'm not the only one) is that preview doesn't work 
always... probably I should update the drivers.

It has. Its a really good replacement for the buggy control plugin. The 
only thing I miss is the possibility to end a session with Ctrl+C, you 
have to terminate the telnet program side.

[vdr] auto ratio change dont work with 1.4.2

2006-09-27 Thread Lauri Tischler

upgraded from 1.3.36 to 1.4.2, everything works,
except automatic setting of tv between 4:3 and 16:9 modes.
Works just fine with 1.3.36.
Is 1.4.x eating the WSS or what.
Connection to tv is via composite video, no messing with
voltages or pin 8 or whatever.
Drivers are same in both cases.

OK so apparently everybody copied the AP flash. I have no idea where
Netzeitung got the notion of "technically impossible" to skip or cut. 

Duh.
