[vdr] HD clients for vdr
I recently saw the popcornhour and the HD demo on the popcorn wasn't what I expected. It felt like the early adopters of the first DVD players that came out. It was more jittery than a Blu-Ray disk on a PS3. So now I am wondering, what is the best silent/cheap client out there? That actually does 100% smooth playback like a normal DVD except at HD resolution/video bandwidth? Are there popcorn alternatives? Or is the best now to get a nvidia 9400/9500 to do video decode acceleration with a Core 2 Duo type processor of about 3GHz? What are you opinion?

My opinion is that nvidia's ION platform with vdpau and XBMC gives the best result.

[vdr] vdr-text2skin: token {ChannelSource} and VDR segmentation fault.
Thomas, i am not sure what this is a bug, but if to write in the section
"channelInfo" (of *.skin) something like
{ChannelSource}
and try to switch the channel using list separators (with keys
left/right) then VDR crashes with "segmentation fault".
At the same time if i change the channels from main list then token
{ChannelSource} works, but displays the satellite name from sources.conf
instead signal source "S36.0E" as it's written in the reference.txt.
I think the point is that VDR can't simultaneously display token
{ChannelSource} if using sheet list separators. I don't know what i need
to write in this case (not...??? condition =...???).
Casually remarked that if i write token {ChannelID} instead
{ChannelSource} that everything is OK and I see "S36.0E-878-10100-7" (or
"0-0-0-0" if i choose list separators).

[vdr] text2skin and missing tokens
Hi
how is it possible to implement in text2skin-based skin follow information -
which tokens is it possible to use for it ?
- transponders parameters
- bitrate and resolution
- type of system encryption
- BER
- video format - 16:9 or 4:3
- audio format (AC-3)
- what's token {VideoAR} {ReplayVideoAR} ?
We would like to implement that feature in new text2skin based skin - AVP

For example a http://www.cartft.com/catalog/il/1072 together with 2G ram and a pico-psu. Just got my ION A up and running as a NAS. Quite a bit of overkill there as all I need are the SATA and LAN connectors, plus VGA+KBD to get everything set up. Both fans running at 7v (Case and CPU) and it is pretty quiet. Not sure about running the ION A fanless though. So I will turn that board into my HD client for VDR as soon as I get a board more suited to be a NAS. ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr

Have you tried swapping the two CAMs? This should tell us whether the problem is with the CAM or with the CI adapter.

It's a bug. I will fix it. It seems that nobody used this token so
far - since 2004. ;-)

You can use a conditional block as workaround until it is fixed:
{ChannelSource}
