[vdr] Crystalhd support and help
Hi all, I have a main frontend box running yaVDR 1.7.21 vdr and I have a version 1 AppleTV with a broadcom crystalhd module installed. I'm running Ubuntu and have loaded from source the crystalhd kernel module and the libraries. I have xbmc-pvr branch from yaVDR running on the appletv and it works most of the time but cannot keep up with 1080 most of the time (can for 720p). Does anyone know if this branch has crystalhd support and how do I know if its using it? Second, I would prefer to use vdr-xineliboutput and have installed vdr-sxfe and vdr-fbfe. I don't need, nor want all the overhead of xbmc. I'm thinking if I can one of these to work then it would be perfect - I could use the vdr OSD, etc. However, I can't find a video module that will work properly. vdr-sxfe shows me: Available video drivers: vdpau aadxr3 dxr3 xv vaapi raw opengl xshm caca aa none xxmc sdl vidixfb vidix fb xvmc Available audio drivers: pulseaudio alsa oss jack none file I understand to 'use' crystalhd you have to invoke the vaapi video driver? Is this correct? When I try it, however, it says libva: libva version 0.31.1 Xlib: extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":0". libva: va_getDriverName() returns 0 libva: Trying to open /usr/lib/dri/nvidia_drv_video.so libva: va_openDriver() returns -1 How can I get around this or is it possible with my setup? Anyone got this going? Thanks for any help. Norm ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
[vdr] Renaming of all *.c files in *.cpp or equivalent
Hi, I have a big wish for future development: Please rename all c++ files with *.c extensions into *.cpp or equivalent. Many IDEs may cope with *.c and treat them as c++ files. However, if not, you must force the IDE to do that, which is sometimes hard work to do. I think it is lesser work to rename them and edit the makefile to work with cpp for instance. I am using cpp as default extension for c++ files for long time now. What do you think about that? Denis ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr

I like *.c and will stay with it.
If you really need to access the files as *.cpp, you could do
for i in *.c; do echo ln -sf $i ${i}pp; done

Re: [vdr] Renaming of all *.c files in *.cpp or equivalent
Well, it was just a thought, because there are many many naming
conventions which suggests to use another extension than *.c like *.cc
or *.cpp respectively. Mainly, it is only for better readability and to
distinguish what type of code resided in the file. IDEs rely on this
convention to decide which compiler it has to use.
But I can live with it, because there is no real technical reason for
renaming.

Ok, is this something you have to manually edit in setup.conf? I don't have this option in the setup for recording.. Here i have only "pause live video", "do not pause live video" and "confirm pause live video".. Do you btw have to press pause to activate livebuffer, or can you just press rewind in the middle of playback? In the 1.6.x patch i don't have to press pause, i just press rewind..
