[vdr] [ANNOUNCE] vdr-actuator-1.0.4 plugin

2007-06-24 Thread Luca Olivetti
Hello,

I'm releasing version 1.0.4 of the "actuator" plugin available at

http://www.ventoso.org/luca/vdr/

This plugin controls a linear actuator (or an horizon to horizon one)
through the parallel port with a simple circuit.


CHANGES:
- check the CardIndex to identify the selected card in the main menu
   instead of relying on cDevice::GetDevice(index)
- added a note in README to clarify that if you select card 1 it
   corresponds to /dev/dvb/adapter0, 2 to /dev/dvb/adapter1 and so on
- adapted for the experimental version of vdr (1.5.X)


Bye

[vdr] please please please starting over

2007-06-24 Thread Tony Grant
I have a lock on Astra 19.2E finally (can't get one on 28.2E)

VDR shows key in OSD and no picture - I am guessing that the stream is
unreadable?

One issue is whether this is a global standard (in which case perhaps vdr 
ought to support it) or a UK-only scheme (where a plug-in might be more 
appropriate). 

Do other countries / broadcast systems implement "Freeview Playback" 
aka "TV-Anytime" (ETSI TS 102 323)?

[vdr] VDR 1.5.5: segfault in fontconfig

2007-06-24 Thread Stefan Huelswitt

Hi,
trying to upgrade to 1.5.5 I'm facing the problem that VDR
segfaults right on startup (no plugins envolved).

I'm not used to fontconfig. May be someone could give me a hint
how to debug?

First step is to check if you have some tt font installed.
Then check /etc/fonts/fonts.conf (and subdirectories in /etc/fonts) to 
see if "Sans Serif" points to an existing font (it usually point to Vera 
Sans or DejaVu, so you should have that font installed).

I believe TV-Anytime is a European standard.
