[vdr] Freeview Replay aka TV-Anytime patch

2008-02-02 Thread Dave P
There was a discussion here last year about implementing support for 
Freeview Replay, the cut-down version of TV-Anytime (ETSI TS 102 323) 
broadcast in the UK.

I've now produced a patch which implements the low-level support needed for 
Freeview Replay. It captures the series and item CRIDs and stores the 
information in epg.data and channels.conf.

If anyone is interested in taking this forward and building high-level 
functions to make use of the data, the patch is at

http://www.pickles.me.uk/vdrtva-0.0.1.tar.gz

The patch was prepared against vdr-1.5.13.

Re: [vdr] What is H264 Spatial Direct Mode?

Here's an update on this for those interested in H264 and VDR.

I brought up the problems with Spatial Direct Mode and FFMPEG on their

to one of the affected channels I no longer get messages saying that
spatial direct is not implemented, but I still get extreme
artifacting, dropped frames and problems with xine: -

I've the same problem with ARD, when I switch audio to dolby digital.
When I set audio to stereo, there are no problems.

Can you try to disable dolby digital ?

[vdr] 2 motorized dishes

2008-02-02 Thread Füley István
I recently added to my single-FF-card VDR-box a second card, it's a 
TT-S2-3200. 
It's working fine with the multiproto dirvers and vdr-1.5.14, i can watch 
SDTV on the nexus-s' tv out or HDTV (quite well) via vdr-xine.
I have one issue with my dishes. I know that few of the vdr users have 
motorized dish, well I have two of them :) The first one, a 1.8m prime 
focus is controlled fine with Diseqc 1.2 commands in diseqc.conf. But I 
have a second one connected to my S2-3200. Is there any way to control 
this motor via diseqc.conf?

Thanks,

Istvan

PS. In my old vdr I had a nice patch, which allowed me to easily enter the 
recordings paths with the arrow keys, without typing the folder's name. 
I 
applied the liemikuutio patch to vdr-1.5.14 but i cannot find this 
feature. Where can I find this patch?

[vdr] Looking for DVB-T card (TVHD compatible) for vdr

2008-02-02 Thread karim
@igor and @nico,

Thanks for your responses.

In France, MPEG4 HDTV DVB-T will begin shortly (several weeks). I don't know 
yet if we will swap to DVB-T2 around 2009-2010 :-( Since I need two DVB-T 
tuners by vdrbox, I won't buy WinTV-HVR-4000, it will be too much expensive 
(env 190 € each in France !). It's better for me to choose a double tuner PCI 
DVB-T card. As any budget can receive DVB-T, even in HDTV mode, I plan to buy 
one of theses items :

Choice 1 :
http://www.fusionhdtv.co.kr/ENG/products/DVBTdual4.aspx
=> unfortunately, I didn't find this hardware in Europe. "Where to buy" gives 
"glowlounge techno" in UK, "FNAC" and "Surcouf" in France, but none of theses 
has the card. Could you please confirm that there is no compatibility problem, 
with this model in France ? If someone know a reseller in Europe, please give 
as the link !

Choice 2 :
http://www.hauppauge.fr/pages/products/data_nova-t-500.html
=> No problem to find this card in France, but I am not 100% shure that the 
hardware will be TVHD compliant.
Hauppauge doesn't communicate about that, contrary to fusionhdtv. 

@all,
As usually, any comment will be appreciate.

Thanks.

[vdr] Transfer-Mode without remux

2008-02-02 Thread Klaus Schmidinger
In a crude attempt to run VDR's Transfer-Mode without using a cRemux
(and thus avoiding all the extra buffering and processing) I am
trying to send the payload of the TS packets directly to the device.

The attached patch implements cDevice::PlayTS() and handles video
and audio packets with fixed PIDs (just for testing).

I do get audio and video (using a FF-DVB card as output device),
but there are some distortions. From all the debug output I've
made there doesn't seem to be anything wrong - even the TS continuity
counters check out (except for the initial one, which is to be expected).

Am I missing something obvious here?

Maybe somebody on the list can find out what's wrong here - or can
argue why this attempt can't work in the first place.

If you try the patch, just change the hardcoded PIDs in cDevice::PlayTS()
to whatever video and audio PID the channel has you're going to
test with.

Nevermind, I just found it myself: it must be +5 instead of +4 in

inline int TsPayloadOffset(const uchar *Data)
{
  return (Data[3] & ADAPT_FIELD) ? Data[4] + 5 : 4;
}

Now it works - and Transfer-Mode never switched as fast as this :-)

Sorry, but I never found the time to try it.

By sending the TS payload data directly to the device, audio appears almost
instantaneously - which I believe is what the syncearly patch does, too,
right?

Plus it saves two ringbuffers (one in cTransfer and one in cRemux)
and one extra thread - sounds like some simplification to me ;-)

Of course I'll need to see how this behaves in every day live, and all
the audio track handling needs to be adjusted accordingly. But for the
moment it looks good to me.

[vdr] [Announce] vdr-fritzbox-0.0.11

2008-02-02 Thread Joachim Wilke
Dear Fritz!Box- and VDR-Users,

a new version of the Fritz!Box Plugin is available at
http://joachim-wilke.de/index.htm?alias=vdr-fritz

- - -

The Fritz!Box Plugin connects to your Fritz!Box to inform you about
incoming calls. The plugin can automatically mute or pause VDR when a
call comes in.

Via VDR's main menu you can browse your Fritz!Box phone book, the call
lists and initiate calls out of all lists.

- - -

The last changes are:
2008-02-02: Version 0.0.11
- fixed the "#96*5*"-code in README.de
  (reported by Hans Jürgen [22])
- fixed request-URL of das-oertliche.de
  (patch provided by Reinhard [11])
- now always unlocking FritzBoxMutex even when an exception is thrown
- fixed wrong logging messages in fritzfonbuch.c claiming to be from calllist.c
- an error message is now shown, if the phonebook is not read yet
- replaced gethostbyname with threadsafe function getaddrinfo in cTcpClient
- improved timing cHttpClient::Read()
- simplified socket read in cOertlichesFonbuch::ResolveToName()
- now reading country- and regioncode from Fritz!Box;
  this removes the setup option "Country Code"
  Set up your location in the Fritz!Box (navigate to "Einstellungen ->
  Telefonie -> Internettelefonie -> Erweiterte Einstellungen")
  (thanks to Reinhard [11] for the hint to this option)
- now normalizing number when doing a lookup to dasoertliche.de
  (reported by Reinhard [11])

Regards,
Joachim.

Thank you for your inputs. I never use dolby  digital because I use
stereo speakers on the TV. Even if I disable dolby digital in the DVB
configuration I still get the problems. Somtimes high bitrate channels
works after switching to the DVB-T card and then back again and with
your information I can force the problem to come back even if channel
works without problem. By changing to dolby digital audio instead of
stereo the channel becomes bad again and remote is barely responsive.


My configuration is:
Gentoo linux with Athlon64 3500+ CPU compiled for 64 bit with Hauppauge
version 2.1 DVB-S and one Airstar2 DVB-T.
I have the same here 04:07.0 Multimedia controller: Philips
Semiconductors SAA7146 (rev 01)
