[vdr] No output via xineliboutput with VDR 1.7.21

2011-11-07 Thread Chris Rankin
Hi, I have just tried installing VDR 1.7.21 (from Fedora RawHide), with the xineliboutput plugin from its git repository. I have managed to get xine to connect to VDR (I think - after I had added 127.0.0.1 to the allowed_hosts.conf file), but I am not receiving any output in the xine window. VD

[vdr] DVB-T2 tuning

2011-10-10 Thread Chris Rankin
> Here is what i did with 1.7 vdr. Yes, I know it works in vdr 1.7. And xine's DVB plugin tunes into the HD channels here too. The problem is that Fedora uses vdr 1.6, and this version doesn't work. So obviously the tuning code in vdr 1.7 is different somehow... Thanks, Chris

[vdr] DVB-T2 tuning

2011-10-10 Thread Chris Rankin
> I'm not aware of any DVB-T2 specific code in VDR 1.7.x AFAIK, DVB-T2 at least needs support for QAM_256. I don't think the DVB-T tuner in VDR 1.6 supports anything better than QAM_64, so adding QAM_256 would definitely be a start. Cheers, Chris __

2011-10-10 Thread Chris Rankin
Hi, I'm assuming that VDR-1.7.x can tune into DVB-T2 channels, but it seems that Fedora 16 will still be using VDR-1.6.x. This is probably because VDR-1.7 is a development version, but I'd like to be able to use my PCTV 290e adapter in Fedora. So it looks like the DVB-T2 tuning parameters (QA

Hi, Just in case anyone is interested: There has been a sudden spike in xine development (1.1.19 branch), and AAC LATM audio should now be working with MPEG-TS streams. You will also need to be using FFmpeg >= 0.7. Cheers, Chris ___ vdr mailing li

Laz, I've finally managed to tune my 290e in as well. I have discovered that I need to remove all of the 2-way splitters that I'd been using to connect everything up to the wall socket, and then w_scan and scandvb can find the HD signal. But my version of ffmpeg (0.6.3) is struggling to decode

Now xine isn't tuning into the HD channels again either. Maybe it's a problem with the transmitter, but I'm thinking that the DVB userspace doesn't have enough support for DVB-T2 yet. Cheers, Chris ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linux
