VDR ISDB-T support
by Christian Rodriguez 14 Sep '18

14 Sep '18

Hello everyone! I'm from Argentina, and up to last month I've been using VDR 1.7.262 with an ISDB-T USB adapter. It works really good, but the last week I've been trying to upgrade to VDR 2.2 and I've found a problem with ISDB-T cards: they are not supported. As I'm really interested in using VDR, I was digging inside the code and found a partial solution for this problem: as ISDBT is the same as DVBT, I've changed the way delivery system is queried. My changes are applied in a cloned repo at … [View More]

VDR locking up
by VDR User 29 Dec '17

29 Dec '17

Occasionally my signal drops out (haven't looked into it yet), and it causes VDR to completely freeze and become defunct/zombie. That locks up the drivers and the only way to resolve it is by rebooting. No core file gets created. Does anyone know how to prevent the lock-up in the first place? Could it be some kind of leak from the looping (see log clip below)? Here's a clip of the log when it happens. You can see how the log gets filled with the same repeating lines until it crashes. 2016.Oct.… [View More]28|12:08:55 video: slow down video, duping frame 2016.Oct.28|12:08:55 video: decoder buffer

IPTV Plugin and re-directs
by Peer Oliver Schmidt 21 Feb '17

21 Feb '17

Good morning, last night we tried to setup a US channel using IPTV TV2;IPTV:2:IPTV|HTTP|live.softiptv.com/live/jagdish/jagdish/24914.ts|9900:P… is the entry for it. Using the URL from VLC works fine, using it in the above manner does not. It seems that softiptv is using a redirect at the beginning, which throws the plugin for a fit. Anyone seen this before, and maybe have a solution, other than using EXT or CURL. Thanks. -- Best regards Peer Oliver Schmidt PGP Key ID: 0x83E1C2EA

[PATCH] Fix building against musl C library
by glenvt18 19 Feb '17

19 Feb '17

This was tested with Alpine Linux 3.5/musl-1.1.15/gcc-6.2.1/vdr-2.3.2. While building for Alpine, add -lintl to LIBS: echo 'LIBS += -lintl' >> Make.config Some notes: 1. __attribute__((__format_arg__(n))) is supported since gcc-2.8 (1998). 2. freopen() can be reworked to work with musl if it really matters. 3. Musl doesn't define __MUSL__ or whatever. Checking __GLIBC__ is definitely not perfect, but VDR build system can't run tests for the moment. --- i18n.h | 2 +… [View More]- osd.c | 2 +- thread.c | 4 +++- tools.c | 2 +- tools.h | 12 +++++++++++- vdr.c | 6 ++++++ 6 files changed, 23 insertions(+), 5 deletions(-) diff --git a/i18n.h b/i18n.h index f8ad9de..b002bbf 100644 --- a/i18n.h +++ b/i18n.h @@ -46,7 +46,7 @@ const cStringList *I18nLanguages(void); ///< have an actual locale installed.
