Re: [vdr] desperated with vdr-burn
Lot of thanks! I don't tested it yet, but when I go home I'll try it. Seems to be a definitive solution for the problem. Thanks again.

The usage of "$" in the format strings contained in the English texts lead to a truncation of the string, because VDR uses "$" to separate a context string from the English translation. That's why I didn't had this problem in German :-) A fixed Debian package (version 0.1.0~pre21-4) is available in my repository.

I watched a recording of "Alarm für Cobra 11" yesterday and could identify at least 6 little jumps. I have isolated a 20 MByte part of this recording where this effect was clear to see - I can send it by seperated mails or upload it somewhere if someone gives me an URL. The weird thing: Playing those isolated scenes does not show the effect as people can see if they play the whole recording from the beginning, but rewinding the short clip to a certain point makes it possible to reproduce the problem.

So you're certain that it's always picture frames being dropped, causing audio to be behind the video? Despite of the lost frame, the playback seems to be in sync. On the other side, I havent heard any jumps in sound yet. This could only be possible when the timing of audio and video would be different and the software would try to keep video and audio in sync by dropping sometimes a single video frames. On the other side, if the same recording works when playing back video with the MP2 track, it looks like a buffering or packaging issue, as if in this case the DD packages would not fit into a certain time scale.

So you're certain that it's always picture frames being dropped, causing audio to be behind the video? Since mplayer is open source , someone who is able to do changes on that should contact someone at mplayer/xine. I think Nico Sabbi is working on dvb area on mplayer side. Further i think mplayer is checking very closely sync issues. For most stations the video stream should fulfil the task of the PCR stream, but here people that really know what they are talking about should step in ;) Furthermore mplayer-dvb list might be applicable.

Either a video frame that does not "change" or perhaps a few seconds of silence on the audio track could trigger this.

[vdr] Any DST change problems?
We're coming up to the weekend when Daylight Saving Time ends in Europe. I seem to recall last time I tried this that there were problems with setting timers before the changeover to record programmes after it. Is this still an issue, and if so would restarting VDR after the change help? I see that timers.conf has the events in 'wallclock' time (when setting timers through vdradmin at least). -- Dave ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr

[vdr] Remote plugin with Hauppauge Nova-T usb2
Has anyone managed to get the built-in detector in a Hauppauge Nova-T usb2 working with vdr with the remote plugin? I'm just swapping a Nova-T PCI card for a dual-tuner Nova-T 500. So far, it looks like the DVB part is working (not tested properly yet but I have 3 DVB devices) but I'm now tring to get a working remote again. I had been using a "new type" Hauppauge remote on the old PCI card through LIRC (after patching the CX88 source for the keymap). I'm hoping that I can just use the /dev/input/eventX from the USB Nova device without fighting LIRC (the remote generates keypresses which makes using irrecord a nightmare!). The USB remote device appears as /dev/input/event1: I: Bus=0003 Vendor=2040 Product=9301 Version= N: Name="IR-receiver inside an USB DVB receiver" P: Phys=usb-:00:10.3-1/ir0 S: Sysfs=/class/input/input1 H: Handlers=kbd event1 B: EV=3 B: KEY=afc302 2002805 0 0 0 4 18000 180 4801 9e1680 0 800200 ffc And should be accessible by the vdr user: crw-rw-r-- 1 root video 13, 65 Oct 24 22:16 event1 evtest seems to work correctly, i.e. lists the keys and all keys seem to give the correct named codes. When I run vdr with the remote plugin, I get the following relevant bits: Oct 25 01:45:00 vdr-tng vdr: [11605] device /dev/input/event1: IR-receiver inside an USB DVB receiver Oct 25 01:45:00 vdr-tng vdr: [11605] remote: using '/dev/input/event1' Oct 25 01:45:00 vdr-tng vdr: [11605] remote control softdevice-dfb - keys known Oct 25 01:45:00 vdr-tng vdr: [11605] remote control remote-event1 - learning key At this point, I see the OSD message about learning keys and it asks me to press the "Up" key. At this point, nothing happens! Pressing keys on the remote has no effect and it gets no further. As far as I can see, it all looks good until it gets to the actual remote plugin! Am I missing something simple here, or am I wasting my time and should go back to trying to get LIRC working with this device?!
