Missing translation in eitscan.c

vdr - multiple dvb devices - one CI module
by David Thompson 02 Apr '05

02 Apr '05

Hello: I am writing to see if anyone knows how to manually and permanantly set the dvb device number when using multiple dvb cards or can propose another solution for my problem. I have just installed a second DVB card in my PC - this card does not have an attached CI - but my first original DVB card does. The problem is that more than half the time - but not always, when loading the DVB drivers, the new DVB card without CI comes up as the first device (video0)and the original card with CI comes up as second device (video1). When this happens, even if VDR is set with the primary DVB device as 2 (card with CI) I am not able to watch any encrypted channels on either device. However, if the DVB modules load with the Original DVB card with CAM as the 1st device (video0)- with VDR then set to use primary DVB device as 1 (card with CI) I am able to watch encrypted channels. Is there anyway to set up DVB drivers so that the Card with CAM is always set as video0 and Card without CAM as video1? Or does anyone have any other ideas on solving this problem? Thanks so much for your help. David Send instant messages to your online friends http://uk.messenger.yahoo.com

RE: [vdr] MSI MS-6215

Thus try to fit 8cm fans with a resistance in series > to reduce speed (cf. > www.silentpcreview.com) There are fan controllers available at shops. They start fan with 12V/no modulation, to make them rotating for sure, and then slows RPM down with much better way than resistor. Electric motors can and should be guided with pulse width modulation (RC models uses this, try searching "rc electronic speed controller"). So on 12V, 1/12th modulation with 6 units on, fan's electric motor will see it as virtual 6V, but as real drive voltage is 12V, you'll get maximum torque out of your fan. And your fan rotates about half the maximum RPM. This is to make it simple, of course system isn't linear. With 6V your fan doesn't neccessarily rotate, at least not start. And motor will endure much longer, and fan motor heat is minimal. > > Finally, does anyone have any good ideas to minimise dust entry to the > > machine other than putting the machine inside a cabinet.

Much less noise and heat. Many HDD's can be 'underclocked'. 7200rpm disks can made to perform like 5400rpm one. Check "hdparm -B" for APM support. Check "hdparm -M" for acoustic management support. Also HDD doesn't need to be running all the time, if your VDR is powered 24/7. Check noflushd for this. Works better than plain "hdparm -S".

MSI MS-6215
by xzzyx＠hotmail.com 02 Apr '05

02 Apr '05

Looking at the archives I noticed a few people have (or had!) a MSI MS-6215. I'm curious as to whether you have found the performance adequate (I have a 1 GHz PIII) and noise level satisfactory. How can noise be reduced? (I am not very hardwarily inclined) Is it possible somehow to soft-off the machine and wake it up at a pre-determined time with linvdr or another package - the BIOS appears to support. I noticed that a few people have removed their floppy drives. Is this due to heat problems with mounting a HD in the intended position above the CPU? If there is no problem can anyone suggest where I can obtain the HD bracket since I got my barebones machine without one. Has anyone tried making the power supply external to minimise heat? Finally, does anyone have any good ideas to minimise dust entry to the machine other than putting the machine inside a cabinet. Thanks for any help, Andrew

[ANNOUNCE] vdr-femon-0.8.7
by Rolf Ahrenberg 01 Apr '05

01 Apr '05

Hi, yet another cosmetic update for VDR's femon plugin is available at: http://www.saunalahti.fi/~rahrenbe/vdr/femon/files/vdr-femon-0.8.7.tgz This newest one contains one new theme (Moronimo), corrected access rights of symbols subdirectory, and a minor tweak for Makefile. Yes, the device switching feature is still missing, because I haven't figured out how to do it right - I always get messed up DVB devices like showing channel 4 instead of channel 1 etc. If someone has knowledge how to implement the trick (preferably without patching VDR), please send me the patch ;) BR, -- rofa

VDR::Plugin::Rotor - question
by Andrey Vlassov 01 Apr '05

01 Apr '05

Hi, this question directed to maintainer of the plugin but anyone having experience welcome to share it. I started to use this plugin with main accent on GotoXY function. This what I was able to acomplish so far: After I messed up with motor motor settings I had to reset it to factory settings. It looks like plugin found "Telstra 5/Intelsat Americas 5" by just choosing the satellite in the plugin and pressing "OK" on Nexus-S remote. Then I can receive FTA program on TV. Then I move dish to other position by controls of the plugin and "Ctrl-C" VDR. On next start VDR will reposition dish to last selected channel and I will get pricture/sound. I very happy that this part works very well. Then of course I would like to check that I can position dish to other satellite and scan for channels. I choose 110.0W or 121.0W and reposition dish. Then I use "Ctrl-C" and switch to "scan" utility to scan transpoders for channels. To my surprise I found very few channels and it looks very suspicios to me. Unfortunately my "Fortec Lifetime Ultra" after last reflash refuses to start (constantly reboots) and I can not confirm that "rotor" plugin has positioned dish correctly. May be number of channels found by "scan" utility has something to do with fact that channels on these satellites are crypted. But I believe that information should be available anyway and scan utility should find them. What was your experience with this plugin and scan utility? Is there reliable source of transpoder list? (SatcoDX/Lygsat - I could not find many channels which was found by "Fortec Lifetime Ultra" in blind search mode when it still worked for me) Config: DVB-S: Nexus-S 2.3 (yes it can move dish and supports USALS through rotor plugin) Plugin: rotor Location: North America/Canada Andy
