VDR & Multiple frontends
by Eddi 25 Jul '15

25 Jul '15

Hi, I wrote a patch to Steve Toth hvr3000 repository, so my FlyDVB Trio can use multiple frontend. So I get: /dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0 /dev/dvb/adapter0/demux1 /dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr0 /dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr1 /dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0 /dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend1 /dev/dvb/adapter0/net0 /dev/dvb/adapter0/net1 The bus of the two frontend is shared, isn't possible to get access to both frontend simultaneously, so I get an -EBUSY error by trying accessing frontend1 if frontend0 is in use. VDR doesn't support yet the second frontend, and it try to get exclusive access on both frontend on start, so the second frontend is inusabile. Vdr should probe for multiple frontend at start, and access frontend only on channel change. Please can someone give me an help to wrote a patch for this issue? Best Regards, Eddi

distribution of systemd service file
by Paul Menzel 27 Jun '12

27 Jun '12

Dear VDR folks, I just noticed that Davide Cavalca added an systemd [1] service file for VDR to OpenBricks [2]. Is it useful to get this included upstream, so that all distributions can use it? I just found this one comment, that these service files supposed to be uniform between distributions [3]. On the other hand I did not find any init scripts in the VDR source. Thanks, Paul PS: Please do not use this thread to discuss different init systems.

Plugin for MHEG (BBC RedButton service)
by John Williams 22 Jun '12

22 Jun '12

Hello, I have adapted the standalone "redbutton" program (http://redbutton.sourceforge.net/) into a plugin for VDR. This allows me to view the "Redbutton" data service broadcast by the BBC. This is a preliminary version of the plugin and it is not robust enough for general use, but if anyone would like to experiment with it, the source code can be downloaded from http://pond-weed.com/redbutton/ Regards, John Williams

VDR-1.7.16 doesn't respect valid dvb device frequency ranges
by Andreas Brachold 03 Mar '12

03 Mar '12

Hello, Any current vdr doesn't respect valid dvb device frequency ranges. Here on a EPG-Scan it's generate many messages on syslog, like : DVB: adapter 0 frontend 0 frequency 177500000 out of range (470000000..860000000) DVB: adapter 0 frontend 0 frequency 177500000 out of range (470000000..860000000) DVB: adapter 0 frontend 0 frequency 177500000 out of range (470000000..860000000) Any of my three DVB-T devices have different frequency ranges, and the primary device can't receive VHF-channels. frontend 0:0 frequency range 470000000..860000000 frontend 1:0 frequency range 51000000..858000000 frontend 2:0 frequency range 177000000..858000000 Therefore i attach a simple patch to check provided frequency ranges of used dvb-t device driver.

[Bug] VPS Recording not starting as long as another recording (with lower priority) is running
by Markus Ehrnsperger 26 Feb '12

26 Feb '12

Hi, I created two timers: 5:S19.2E-1-1101-28106:2011-02-26:1330:1500:50:99:Das Traumhotel - Afrika: 9:S19.2E-1-1079-28006:2011-02-26:1300:1500:10:99:Wintersport: The second timer was recorded for the complete time. The first Timer was ignored, in spite of the higher priority. This is related to VPS: A VPS timer seems to be ignored as long as other recorings block the devices. In this logic, the priority of the recoring is ignored. Note: For this test, I started VDR with --device=0 so only one device is used. I used no patch (plain 1.7.16) and only one plugin (dvbsddevice). Regards, Markus

shouldn't a vdr recording pause during status 3 flag?
by Lou 14 Jan '12

14 Jan '12

I noticed one of my local broadcasters does actually flag a commercial break's starts and endings: Nov 3 16:48:37 channel 17 (TSR1) event Thu 03.11.2011 16:45-17:26 (VPS: 03.11 16:45) 'Hawaii Five-0' status 4 Nov 3 17:13:38 channel 17 (TSR1) event Thu 03.11.2011 16:45-17:26 (VPS: 03.11 16:45) 'Hawaii Five-0' status 3 Nov 3 17:16:08 channel 17 (TSR1) event Thu 03.11.2011 16:45-17:26 (VPS: 03.11 16:45) 'Hawaii Five-0' status 4 Nov 3 17:32:20 channel 17 (TSR1) event Thu 03.11.2011 17:26-17:35 '(null)' status 4 Nov 3 17:32:20 timer 8 (17 1645-1726 VPS 'Hawaii Five-0~Po'ipu') stop This looks legit to me, start and endings are always trimmed fine - so the question remains, why the recording does not pause during the commercial break? I'd love to avoid manual editing if possible.

Patch: Eliminate duplicate events when using xmltv2vdr
by Timo Eskola 12 Jan '12

12 Jan '12

Hi, I started to use xmltv2vdr for some channels with poor EPG data. I do not want to use xmltv2vdr for all channels so I modified xmltv2vdr.pl script to clear only the channels which will be grabbed with xmltv. The result was multiple EPG events for some programs. I found 2 issues in VDR code that caused this. 1. CLRE for a channel does not always clear all events. I compared CLRE for clearing all channels and noticed that it also clears events in timers. The patch will add this to CLRE for a channel. 2. Second problem was that for some reason there are small differences in events times in EPG and xmltv. The patch find events close to the current event during EPG scan. Now I have proper program data from EPG and xmltv. http://www.tolleri.net/vdr/vdr/vdr-1.7.21-clre-epgscan.patch Maybe Klaus can have a look if the changes can be implemented in VDR. Regards, Timo
