[vdr] Wanted VDR xineliboutput client
Hi! Any suggestions for small, powerful, quiet, FullHD VDR client? So, I search machine what would act as VDR-client, using xineliboutput with FullHD resolution and machine would have DVI or HDMI connection + optical audio. Of course remote control is needed too! ;-) -- JJussi ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr

I have build a similar system (not small, but cheap, powerful, quiet and FullHD-replay with simple software-decoding) last year and documented it at http://loescher-online.de/vdr.html -> "HDTV-Client" It is written in German, but the technical parts should be clear. If you have any questions, please ask me. Greetings, Stephan. ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr

hi, I ordered this one (with SSD drive) for the same purpose: Shuttle Barebone XS35GT V2 but no experience yet...

I am not having tested anything. Two things come to my mind if you assemble the system yourself. 1. ASRock E350M1 [1] for around 85 € [2]. (There is a USB3 variant too if you need that.) All you need is RAM and a case. The graphic chipset is powerful enough for FullHD playback. The reason I am recommending this board is it is supported by coreboot [3][4]. So buy one or two backup flash chips, build an image or use a demo image, flash it to the chip using flashrom [5] and enjoy hardware initialization in less than a second. Using a SSD (and systemd [6] (?)) it should be almost an instant on experience. 2. PandaBoard [7]. If you have a little more time to set things up the PandaBoard should be a nice platform. Costing around 170 € it is a little more expensive but it is small but has everything integrated (no RAM needed). I have been told boot up times using the Ȧngström distribution [8] (uses OpenEmbedded framework [9]) with systemd in less than four seconds. The chips on there are powerful enough for FullHD playback even without the proprietary PowerVR stuff. You will probably need to put some effort into getting Xine and xineliboutput to run as it is not packaged for OpenEmbedded yet. > Of course remote control is needed too! ;-) Can’t you use your old one? Otherwise I am not having any suggestions. I heard the MSCE remotes are supported quite well though.

[vdr] Pausing live video with xineliboutput
Hi, Most of my vdr/xineliboutput/vdr-sxfe setup works well, except for pausing live tv. When the pause button is pressed there is quite a long pause before the video and audio are stopped - 5 seconds is typical. Once paused, pressing Play does nothing, and eventually it looks like vdr-sxfe restarts itself and writes messages like this: Connection to server lost. Reconnecting after two seconds... Reconnecting... xine: found input plugin : VDR (Video Disk Recorder) input plugin xine: input plugin cannot open MRL [xvdr://192.168.2.33#nocache] xine: cannot find input plugin for MRL [xvdr://192.168.2.33#nocache] Error opening xvdr://192.168.2.33 Connection to server lost. Reconnecting after two seconds... Reconnecting... xine: found input plugin : VDR (Video Disk Recorder) input plugin xine: input plugin cannot open MRL [xvdr://192.168.2.33#nocache] xine: cannot find input plugin for MRL [xvdr://192.168.2.33#nocache] Error opening xvdr://192.168.2.33 Connection to server lost. Reconnecting after two seconds... and eventually goes back to showing the current live broadcast, not resuming from where it was paused, or it will crash writing this: xv_set_property: property=0, value=0 input cache plugin disabled xine: found demuxer plugin: XVDR demux plugin abort: audio_alsa_out.c:852: ao_alsa_write: Aborting. vdr itself seems to be running fine - the live recording is started and continues to record regardless of the vdr-sxfe client. Is anyone using vdr-sxfe with alsa and has pausing live tv working? vdr version 1.7.18, vdr-sxfe command line: /usr/bin/vdr-sxfe 192.168.2.33 --video=xv --post=tvtime:method=Greedy2Frame,enabled=1 --fullscreen --syslog --verbose --reconnect >>/tmp/xinelib_log 2>&1 Thanks, -- Scott ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
[vdr] [PATCH] add dummy osd to vdr plugin dummydevice
Hi Petri, hello list, https://github.com/flensrocker/vdr-plugin-dummydevice/tarball/v-osd0 I added a dummy osd to the dummydevice to avoid messages from vdr like "ERROR: no OSD provider available - using dummy OSD!" It's useful for headless server mode without any other OSD provider. Thanks for yor plugin! Regards, Lars. ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr

I previously estimated it at 31,5W idle / 67,2W full CPU load (micro-ATX board, Core i3 2100, 2×2TB Western Digital Green, no DVB device at the moment) * remote control : some (if not all) Intel motherboards have Consumer IR connector, with open drivers, cheap eBay IR receivers, capable of powering on the PC That's for the PC-side of things, with a few dozen millions useless transistors. Embedded gizmos are much more integrated, simple, efficient, etc. but always lack the little thing you really need/want, or are a bit difficult to work with. -- NH ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
