[vdr] Gentoo overlay vdr-devel + vdr-xineliboutput

2011-08-26 Thread VDR

Hi!  (this may not be perfect forum for my question, but..)

If I select to use Gentoo overlay vdr-devel to get vdr-1.7.19
I cannot use vdr-xineliboutput-1.0.5-r1 plugin because it's blocked for 
>=media-video/vdr-1.7


Why?  Is there some reason? Because I have seen xineliboutput-plugin 
working at 1.7.18..
If mainstream gentoo distro wants to block vdr-1.7, should there be 
newer version of that plugin in vdr-devel overlay?

[vdr] May it be possible to use a fullfeature cards as output device only ?

2011-08-26 Thread Dieter Bloms
Hi,

the tuner part of my fullfeatured card ist broken, so I want to buy a
nova card and use this fullfeatured card as output device only.
At the moment vdr tries to use this card also as receiver.
So may it be possible to tell vdr it should use this card only for
output ?

Hmmm...When I tried it, it didn't seem to touch any of the EPG received 
from the HD channels, so it remained unreadable.

I'll give it another go this weekend, and I'll enable a few more debug 
messages...

Cheers,

There's a patch at vdr-portal that allows to disable the tuner of a FF
card from the dvbsddevice plugin command line (VDR 1.7 only):

HD, ITV HD, and other encoded channels alone. It does, however, scramble the 
EPG for some other, totally unrelated channels on a range of MUXes! I presume 
it thinks it's encoded and tries to unencode it, scrambling it in the process. 
One channel EPG that becomes scrambled is QVC so no real loss there!

;-)

I thought it had been doing this scrambling when I tried it earlier in the 
week but have now proved it to myself.

Time to start adding some more printfs...

The first byte of encoded strings should be 0x1f, followed by 1 or 2
indicating which table should be used (one is optimised for titles, the
other for descriptions). "Normal" strings either start with a printable
character for the default character set or a code < 0x20 indicating the
character set. I use eepg too, but I haven't noticed it scrambling
anything (this is probably the first time I've looked at QVC's schedule
though ;)).
