Re: [vdr] start VDR without hardware for test and tutorial

2013-12-03 Thread Christian Tramnitz
VDR requires an output device to start. But as already pointed out this doesn't necessarily have to be real hardware but could also be a plugin. However, instead of using (and recommending) such a heavy-scale (from dependency and complexity perspective) plugin like xineliboutput, how about th

2013-09-27 Thread Christian Tramnitz
When using vdr in non-deamon mode with "--edit" to just cut a recording it seems the videodir is being ignored and the output will be stored along the original path (of course with a % in front of the name). Is this behaviour intentional or a bug/missing feature? If its intentional I would sug

The current SVDRP Port 2001 is being used for several years now, but unfortunately it has never been registered with IANA. As such it does not show up in /etc/services and there is no name resolution for it, i.e. when starting a tcpdump. While this is not a major issue I'd prefer to register an

That seems to be the right approach, however I doubt that 0x12c is the right pid. Maybe you should get a copy of the TS from streamdev (just use wget on the streamdev url) and then analyze what you can identify there. I think it should be 0x11 for MPEG4-Audio... You could also have a look at s

My guess would be that since streamdev gives the whole TS to xbmc you can hear audio as long as xbmc knows how to handle it. When doing recordings however the PID filtering of vdr will be used and may omit the (to vdr unknown) audio track. This is just a shot into the dark but you could verify t
