IS there a working UPnP-AV/DLNA support for VDR?

Hi,

... yep, I'm aware of http://upnp.vdr-developer.org/ but this one
seems to be very dead.  Nevertheless I'd like to use a VDR as
recording system only using the second coax line maybe extended
by uncable to use two transponders over one coax line.  For this
it would be perfect to be able to manage, control, and navigate
the VDR and its menues over the DLNA support of this new TV.

Using second tuner on TT S2-6400

I have just managed to get an S2-6400 based vdr sytem up and running and 
am trying to work out how I can use the second tuner.

Currently I have a diseqc switch with two dishes connected to tuner 1, 
which works now I use the "-D 0" vdr option.

I did think that adding "0:" to the top of diseqc.conf file would force 
it to use the first tuner, but this does not work.

In any case, if I add another dish to tuner 2, how do I inform vdr what 
sources are available on it?

I get the impression that a plugin may be required, but I can't see 
anything suitable on the Wiki plugin page.

Any help would be appreciated.

Regards,

Richard

Does anyone have any experience with this plugin, and can offer some
opinion on how it differs from the xineliboutput and xine plugin?

Fonts

Hi,

I am setting up a vdr system and am trying to minimise the number of 
packages - there is no X11 installed.

On Fedora 16, I have installed the required fontconfig and freetype 
packages, but when I run vdr, I get a "OSD No fonts found" message.

I have also installed fontpackages-filesystem, 
xorg-x11-fonts-ISO8859-1-100dpi and xorg-x11-font-utils but am still 
getting the same error.

Can someone suggest anything else I need, or where the fonts need to be?

Regards,

Richard

xineliboutput and xine-ui not fitting together

Hello xineliboutput specialist,

after an update of my debian-sid Desktop last weekend I have no longer a 
working xineplugin (xineplug_inp_xvdr.so) for the xine-ui. xine-ui now 
ist based on libxine2 but the libxine1-xvdr plugin is based on libxine1 
(as the name allready states). Are there any plans to create a debian 
package of the plugin which fits also to libxine2?

Kind regards
Manfred

OT: Patches posted to support interlaced modes in intel-gfx

Dear VDR folks,

there is a request for testing on the intel-gfx list for patches
enabling interlaced modes [1].

After porting the driver to KMS interlaced modes did not work anymore
and the patches enable support again. So Intel hardware seems to even
more suited for a HTPC.

        15:48 < danvet> yeah, together with libva an recent intel gpu should make a 
                        nice htpc
        15:49 < danvet> although we don't support tv-out on ilk and later
        15:49 < danvet> but iirc rodrigo vivi is working on that

Daniel Vetter told me to remind you that these patches are experimental
though and will (only) land in Linux 3.4. So to test them you will have
to build the Linux kernel yourself.

Maybe frame rate control patches from Thomas Hilber and VGA2SCART will
also get upstream in the feature if somebody gets her/his hands dirty
porting those.

Thanks,

Paul

playback problems with recordings with vdr-1.7.20 and newer

vdr-sxfe and IEC958 audio

I have a digital S/PDIF output from my VDR frontend hooked up to a
decent home amplifier and surround speakers.

In the past I've had no problems using this via a vdr-sxfe frontend
both for stereo MPEG-2 audio, as well as for 5.1 AC-3 on HD channels.

audio.device.alsa_default_device:plughw:0,1
audio.device.alsa_front_device:plughw:0,1
audio.device.alsa_passthrough_device:plughw:0,1
audio.device.alsa_surround51_device:plughw:0,1
audio.output.speaker_arrangement:Pass Through

However, recently (perhaps due to a kernel / alsa update?) I've found
that I have to execute `iecset audio on` (to make analog MPEG-2 audio
work) and `iecset audio off` (to make AC-3 passthrough work).

Any idea why this might be?

Cleaner TS/h264 cutting possible?

Hello,

cutting a TS recording, where two cut points are joined, always leads to
some artifacts at this join when playing the cutted result.

When VDR cuts only at I-Frames, shouldn't the cut point be unnoticeable in
the output?

Checking the cutted result with TS-Doctor shows a bunch of errors, while
the original recording contained none.

Is this an issue with the way VDR cut's recordings or is there simply no
clean way to cut TS recordings without re-encoding them?

BR,

Tobias

Weird frame rate issue (VDR 1.6 recording, VDR 1.7 playback)

Hi!

Several recordings recorded from JSC Sports (S13.0E-318-500-8440) seem to
have a weird framerate. The recordings were done in PES format with VDR
1.6, so there's no framerate setting in the info file and VDR will use 25
fps by default. This leads to a wrong recording length display (30 minutes
for a recording that was actually 20 minutes long). VDR 1.7.22 is used for
playback and with a small patch I can provide the framerate via the
info.vdr (Which might be a useful feature anyways, patch attached.).

So far so good, but the recording seems to have a weird framerate

This is the recording:

501593483 2012-01-20 13:15:00.000000000 +0100 001.vdr
   366032 2012-01-20 13:15:00.000000000 +0100 index.vdr
      149 2012-01-20 12:55:05.000000000 +0100 info.vdr

The mtime diff between info.vdr and 001.vdr is 19:55 minutes. index.vdr is
366032 bytes in size, which divided by 8 gives a framerate of 38,29 fps.

Can anyone explain this framerate?

ffmpeg and mediainfo both say 25fps (see below) and VLC tells me it's 50fps.

When I convert the recording to TS using project-x, set the framerate in
the info.vdr to 25 and reindex it with VDR 1.7.22, it still shows the
wrong length.

bye,

Tobias
