I fixed my problem. I have no narrowed it down yet but I changed order.conf from

firstplugin
secondplugin
-thirdplugin
-fourthplugin

to:
xineliboutput
firstplugin
secondplugin
-thirdplugin
-fourthplugin
-osddemo
status
-svdrpdemo
-svccli
-dvbsddevice
-hello
-skincurses
-svcsvr
-pictures

It now works.
So, obviously one of the - ones was overriding the osd support in the
xineliboutput plugin.

Kind Regards

[vdr] number of remote clients

2010-05-31 Thread James Courtier-Dutton 
Hi,

I would like to run vdr with more than one remote client using the
xinelib plugin.
It currently works, and both clients see the same picture.
Is it possible to have two clients watching different channels or
different recordings?

My layout is to have a central server that has the DVB cards in it,
and then TVs in different rooms to display the content from the
central server.

Kind Regards

James

[vdr] VDR and ACPI wakeup for recording

2010-05-31 Thread Eric Valette 

Hi klaus,

I was trying to wake up my small PC for automatic recording and 
initially found things about nvram-wakeup program but found it was not 
supported nor available in my BIOS. Then I found




and I checked that this method works on the tree PC I have. Now the 
question I have are:

1) Has this already been integrated to vdr?
2) is there interest for it

I guess that the best way to do it is to have vdr export the next 
recording time, and that unless a timer for wakeup is already set it, it 
use this value in shutdown script.


Any comment?

Hi,

A working ACPI wakeup script was written by Tobi in 2003 and has been
maintained by him as a debian package since then:



It works nicely on my system, after turning off HPET on boot.

Probably the best way to achieve this, is to use separate client vdr
instances that talk to the main vdr via streamdev. You can run the
client instances on the central server if you want.

Well, since VDR unfortunately is designed as a stand-alone system, this has
to be the most frequently asked question on this list. There is no really
good way to do it, but the xineliboutput README contains useful info on one
way of doing it. I have a headless server running one "Master" vdr that uses
all eight DVB cards and two "Slave" vdr instances that uses streamdev and
iptv to get the streams from the master. It's not ideal but works quite
well. I hardly ever watch live tv so I mostly use the slave vdr's to watch
recordings made by the master.

It is written by the script S90.acpiwakeup that is called from the vdr on

As I read the scrip given in the link there is no way to use the

Read:
http://www.vdr-portal.de/board/archive/75121/thread.html where the guy 
complains about not having the wakeup file or please post your own 
script (or the link) especially the part that writes the


WAKEUP_FILE="/var/cache/vdr/acpiwakeup.time".

Readding the scripts I do not know what part of the software is going to write
/var/cache/vdr/acpiwakeup.time and also I shall manually set wake up time in 
the config file.

What I would like is using the stored planned recording information to 
automatically deduce the next wakeup time.

What Magnus says is true.  VDR was not designed to operate as a
server/client setup and at best you can slap together something that
technically works but leaves a lot to be desired.  I tried it once
before and it was horrid.  Although it's been a few years and I've
heard it's "better" now.  I opt'ed to stick it out with VDR in hopes
that one day we'd see support for it.  I know a bunch of people who
defected to mythtv for this very reason but I couldn't bring myself to
be one of them .  ;)

Bottom line, consider running multiple standalones because that
unfortunately remains the best solution.

This is done in /usr/share/vdr/shutdown-hooks/S90.acpiwakeup, which is
called by vdr upon exiting.

Please read the section "automatic shutdown" from vdr's source here:



This will explain how Tobi's script learns the parameters.
