[vdr] adding an analog source to a working vdr installation

[Arturo Martinez]

Hi,

I have a working vdr 1.7.16 installation with a satellite dvb-s2 card
working fine.

Now I have a separate receiver which I would like to integrate with vdr

I have a supported bt878 card (item number 23 in the list)

http://linuxtv.org/hg/v4l-dvb/file/tip/linux/Documentation/video4linux/CARDLIST.bttv

Besides a scart to rca cable to connect the receiver to the bt878 card
what else will I need to do so vdr works with it?

The sky plugin? (I am not interested in Sky, just want to have analog
video input from my third party receiver into my vdr box)

or some other analog tv plugin?

[vdr] DVB-S card for dedicated VDR box

[Arturo Martinez]

Hello,

I´ve bought an eagle Thin Client igel 5/3 564 5200 LX 1Ghz 256MB DDR
128MB CF (it has a PCI slot and consumes only 20W)
I intend to add a bit of RAM and a 32GB CD card and use it as a
dedicated VDR 1.7.x box for DVB-S channels (no HD channels needed)

The box will be connected to a TV with VGA and hdmi inputs

Could somebody recommend a cheap DVB-S PCI card that is fully linux
compatible? (The box will be used in Europe alone)

Many thanks,

[vdr] xine dropped frames warning

[Arturo Martinez]

Hello,

I lauch xine with this line:

xine --no-gui --no-logo --no-splash -pq -A alsa -f -V xxmc --post vdr
--post vdr_video --post
tvtime:method=Greedy2Frame,enabled=1,pulldown=vektor,framerate_mode=full,judder_correction=0,use_progressive_frame_flag=0,chroma_filter=0,cheap_mode=0
--config=/home/config vdr://tmp/vdr-xine/stream#demux:mpeg_pes

This works well but ocassionally the system is busy and I get a warning
that too many frames have been dropped


In my /home/config file I have:

engine.performance.warn_discarded_threshold:99
engine.performance.warn_skipped_threshold:99


Is there some way I can make sure I get no such warnings?
The PC has only a remote control, no mouse so it is a real problem to
get these warnings

I wouldn´t mind to recompile the source code if somebody could point out
a patch to remove the xine´s code for the warning boxes

[vdr] xine dropped frames warning

[Arturo Martinez]

I have added


gui.dropped_frames_warning:0

but still if the system gets stressed I get a warning box

Some xine dev knows by any chance how to remove xine´s ability to
display warning boxes or to make them of size 0x0 pixels ?

Those annoy a lot of people.  Just add this to your xine config:

gui.dropped_frames_warning:0

Re: [vdr] xine dropped frames warning

[Arturo Martinez]

You assumed incorrectly.

I killed xine and edited the file while xine was not running.

in fact the line gui.dropped_frames_warning:0
is now permanently in the config file but still I get the notifications
(or at least some of them)

Nobody reading these lines knows what part of xine´s source code do I
need to murder to get rid of the notifications once and for all ?

I assume you did not unload xine before editing the config file.  The
file can not be edited while xine is running.

Re: [vdr] xine dropped frames warning

[Arturo Martinez]

With
gui.dropped_frames_warning:0


in the config file

(which was added while xine was not running)

I still get a popup if I use the OSD for a minute or so


See screenshot:

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9975371/IMG_2022_124523.jpg

So since the line does not truly disable warnings for me, my question
still remains valid.

Is there a different line I need to put in the config file or else how
can I mod the source code to make the warnings invisible?

Re: [vdr] xine dropped frames warning

[Arturo Martinez]

I am using the right config and the warnings still show.

Lets prove it...


ps -ef |grep xine

 xine --no-gui --no-logo --no-splash -pq -A alsa -f -V xxmc --post vdr
--post vdr_video --post
tvtime:method=LinearBlend,cheap_mode=1,pulldown=0,use_progressive_frame_flag=1
--config=/home/tv/.xine/config vdr://tmp/vdr-xine/stream#demux:mpeg_pes

So that´s my xine running and shows it is using for config
/home/tv/.xine/config


Now I run the grep command on it:

grep "^gui.dropped_frames_warning:0" /home/tv/.xine/config && echo
"config is good :)" || echo "config is bad :("

And the result is:

gui.dropped_frames_warning:0
config is good :)


Yet if I open vdr´s OSD and fiddle with it for a minute or so I am
guaranteed to get the dropped frames warning.

cxfe does not have the warning problem but unfortunately it does not
support xxmc acceleration :(

[vdr] vdr-xine with xxmc -> problem with OSD

[Arturo Martinez]

Hi,

I am launching xine with -V xxmc for the graphical acceleration.
Using vdr 1.7.21 with vdr-xine 0.9.4

The only OSD mode that works is osdOverlay, the rest bring a severely
corrupted OSD. But osdoverlay seems to be very CPU intensive.
Does anybody know of a fix/patch or workaround?

xine.osdMode = osdOverlay

[vdr] vdr] playing divx from vdr

[Arturo Martinez]

I am using vdr-xine.
xine with xxmc enabled works great:

12% cpu utilization (@1280x1024)

The idea is to be able to play with a minimum of fuzz .avi files from
within vdr

I believe the externalplayer plugin + mplayer (with xvmc enabled), is
the way to go?

If you use softdevice, there's an accompanying plugin called softplay
that plays back most files ffmpeg can play. Which output device are
you using?

Hello,

I have added a second dvb-s2 card to my vdr 1.7.21 box (for a total of 2

The first card (adapter0) is connected to a motor and diseqc.conf
reflects this:

S19.2E 11700 V  9750  t v W15 [E0 31 6B 13] W25 [E0 31 6B 13] W15 t

S13.0E 11700 V  9750  t v W15 [E0 31 6B 0D] W25 [E0 31 6B 0D] W15 t

S13.0E  9 H 10600  t V W15 [E0 31 6B 0D] W25 [E0 31 6B 0D] W15 T

S5.0E 11700 V  9750  t v W15 [E0 31 6B 05] W25 [E0 31 6B 05] W15 t
S5.0E  9 V 10600  t v W15 [E0 31 6B 05] W25 [E0 31 6B 05] W15 T
S5.0E  11700 H  9750  t V W15 [E0 31 6B 05] W25 [E0 31 6B 05] W15 t
S5.0E  9 H 10600  t V W15 [E0 31 6B 05] W25 [E0 31 6B 05] W15 T

Now the second card is connected to a diseqc 1.0 switch with 2 feeds
(S5.0E and S0.8W)

How can I modify diseqc.cond so that vdr is aware that only the second
card can get 0.8W and S5.0E can be accessed by both cards?

[vdr] TS to chinapod

[Arturo Martinez]

Actually I have read the MANUAL before I posted here but can't figure out how 
to get this working
(and yes I want to do this manually for specific recordings from the OSD )

Perhaps if somebody who is doing something similar (using the vdr OSD to 
convert .TS files to something else)
could post their reccmds.conf and associated scripts if any, I could figure it 
out what is it that I am doing wrong.

As it stands when I press the 'Red' key in the 'Recordings' menu and select a 
command from there, nothing whatsoever happens.

check the file MANUAL in the vdr directory:
* Processing Recordings

   The configuration file 'reccmds.conf' can be used to define system
commands
   that can be applied to the recording that is currently highlighted in the
   "Recordings" menu. The "Red" key in the "Recordings" menu opens the
"Recording
   commands" menu if there are commands defined in the file
'reccmds.conf'. Pressing
   one of the keys '1'..'9' in the "Recordings" menu executes the
corresponding
   command from 'reccmds.conf' (see also "Executing system commands" below).

You can select a recording, press the red key and select the command you
want to execute on the recording.
So you can export it to several formats and more.

[vdr] eepg 0.3 patch

[Arturo Martinez]

If the eepg plugin does not compile for you with current headers (2.6.34 
or newer)
this mini patch will fix it. Thanks to Alain Beckam for spotting the 
problem, I just made the diff file.

Re: [vdr] Request for rotor/actuator support integration to, vdr

[Arturo Martinez]

:·)

:·)

I would also like some support for rotors in vdr, I can offer Klaus a 
free sat dish and an old rotor if that would motivate him...


Klaus, as a minimum in vdr core we need the ability to specify a ´lapse 
value´ between a diseq command being sent (for non rotor users this 
would be zero, I´d imagine) and vdr tuning to a transponder or trying to 
add new channels.
So in short if this value say was set to 30 seconds, then vdr would not 
add new channels or try to tune to a transponder. That would allow the 
rotor to do its job (with the existing diseqc.conf

[vdr] rotor-ng

[Arturo Martinez]

Excellent news!
I am sure the entire rotor vdr community will be very glad to hear that!

At the moment I use diseqc.conf with goto position commands for each sat 
position to move the dish
With rotor-ng does diseqc use have to be switched off in vdr and the plugin 
takes care of everything or does it parse diseqc.conf?

Well, it seems I found the problem. The HAUPPAUGE NOVA-S2-HD card
(HVR4000 lite / CX24116 frontend) won't lock onto DVB-S2 channels with
FEC_AUTO or ROLLOFF_AUTO set. So, I modified the plugin to allow
selectable values for FEC and ROLLOFF and now it works fine. I can now
lock and scan DVB-S and DVB-S2 channels (QPSK and 8PSK) directly from
the plugin menu and move the dish to find and store satellites with
diseqc and signal strength meter. Ideal for feedhunting now!

When I get a bit more time I'll tidy up the plugin and release it as
it should now act as a pretty good satellite channel scanner
irrespective of whether you have a rotor within VDR. I haven't tested
the entire satellite transponder scanning functionality yet for
DVB-S/S2, that will be the next task but hopefully it won't need many
changes.

[vdr] resetting recordings

[Arturo Martinez]

My vdr 1.7.x recordings look a bit messy.
I get multiple single entries for the same show although I have put them 
physically on the same folder (under the _ subfolder)


How can I force vdr to re-index them?

[vdr] I just downgraded from vdr 1.7.17 to 1.7.15

[Arturo Martinez]

I realized after upgrading to 1.7.17 (from 1.7.15) that encrypted
recordings (TVE1, Antena3) were  unwatchable (visibly dropping many frames)

So using the same Make.config and the same set of plugins I downgrade to
1.7.15 and the recordings work fine.

Is this somehow a known problem?

Any point in trying 1.7.16 ?
