Re: [vdr] Trouble with DVB-T2 on frontend 1

2017-12-12 Thread Karl-Heinz Volk
I own an Astrometa DVB-T2 stick like this and moving
/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend1 to /dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0 makes my vdr
2.3.8 (arch linux) running. But I do not succeed scanning for channels here
in Bremen in Germany without errors (I have a nice signal with my antenna
under the roof). With w_scan version 20170107 I get only six lines:

There is no EPG with this. I have tried to use dvbv5-scan like Marko
described but I cannot find initial files for my location.

[vdr] [ANNOUNCE] VDRfuse

2017-12-12 Thread Teemu Suikki
 VDRfuse


 Fuse filesystem to "autoedit" VDR recordings!

 (c) Teemu Suikki 2017
 Based on the fuse example "passthrough_fh.c"

 Latest version:
 https://github.com/Zuikkis/vdrfuse


Using:
-

This filesystem can be used to mount the VDR recordings directory.
All other file operations work normally, but every "1.ts" file is
replaced with edited version, according to "marks" file in the same
directory! The translation is done "on the fly", reading the original
file at correct positions.

There are some limitations:

- Directory must have "index", "info" and "marks" file.
- "info" file must have F line (fps)
- "marks" must have correct order. VDR does not require this..
- Recording must be single file, just 1.ts!

If any of these requirements is not met, the file will be served unedited.
So it's not "fatal", you just need to watch commercials. :)

"marks" is re-read every time file is opened, so you can edit marks in VDR
and the change is instant when you re-open the video.

VDRfuse works perfectly with Plex Media Server, especially if combined with
VDR recordings scanner from my github.

Also recommended is Comskip, http://www.kaashoek.com/comskip/


Testing:
--

If you just want to test it, create an empty directory for mountpoint and:

   vdrfuse -o modules=subdir,subdir=/srv/vdr/video  mntpoint

You can use "-f" switch to view some debug output. Then it won't run in
the background.

The "subdir" parameter is the VDR recording directory.


Installation:
--

You can mount it permanently in /etc/fstab:

vdrfuse  /srv/vdr/editedfuse
allow_other,modules=subdir,subdir=/srv/vdr/video0 2

Sorry, I could have mentioned that I got the initial files from
https://git.linuxtv.org/dtv-scan-tables.git/

Specifically, I used the two files fi-Espoo, fi-DNA-Helsinki from
https://git.linuxtv.org/dtv-scan-tables.git/tree/dvb-t/
because my two antennas (UHF and VHF) are pointing to these 
transponders. Finland is using both DVB-T and DVB-T2 in parallel from 
2011. The DVB-T network should be shut down in April 2020.


For Germany, there seem to be much fewer files, about one per state.

One last thing: I understood that the Videocore 4 GPU in the Raspberry 
Pi cannot decode the H.265 that is used by German HDTV. Luckily we use 
H.264 in Finland.
