Whatever I try, I am not able to play the TS capture. But that's not a 
big deal.

Sure, it's odd that mplayer cannot play such 001.vdr files at the
moment. I already had a look into mplayer's source and discovered why
mplayer chose the wrong codec, but I'm still waiting for someone else to
fix this issue. Digging around in the hardly known code of FFmpeg and
now also mplayer plus creating patches eats a lot of time.

EPG charset

    Hi!

I upgraded my VDR from 1.5.1 to 1.5.9 yesterday. Its work fine, but
I have a question:

In some channels I have the EPG with characters in ISO-8859-2. These
chars are replaced to '?'. How can I set EPG charset in VDR?
It would be useful an option in setup.conf - EPGCharset = ISO-8859-2

                                     Boguslaw Juza

The character set is defined in the first byte(s) of the data that
is broadcast for each string. VDR uses that information to convert
that string to the character set used on your system.

So the only thing you can change is the character set on your system
(or at least the shell that runs VDR).
If you receive channels that use different kinds of character sets, you
may want to use UTF-8. In that case you should see all characters
correctly, no matter which character set the broadcatser uses.

Unless, of course, the broadcaster doesn't set the character set
encoding correctly according to the DVB standard. The German "Premiere"
pay tv provider is notorious for this...

Which function do this conversion and where?

Why not just  "export LANG="  at the beginning of your startup script to set the locale?

I have set it to pl_PL.ISO-8859-2 . If I'll set it to pl_PL.UTF-8, 
characters are not displayed correctly. But are not converted to '?' :).

Well, I found this piece of code and check returned charset tags.
It was lots of numbers for this channel - f.e. 109, 90, 54, 82, 52, 74, 
49, 83, 80, 86, 49, 65, 85, 83...

So I set:

const char *cs = "ISO-8859-2";

in getCharacterTable() in si.c and its much better :).

When you do export LANG to pl_PL.ISO-8859-2, does VDR say the locale is recognized on startup?

Regards.

There's an official patch on the dev' web page:
http://phivdr.dyndns.org/vdr/vdr-xineliboutput/

(You'll need both, the 1.5.3 patch and the 1.5.9 patch)

Cheers,

Udo
