Hi all,
I recently got a USB adapter "Astrometa DVB-T2" that I would like to use
with VDR. It comprises two frontends:
/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0: Realtek RTL2832 (DVB-T)
/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend1: Panasonic MN88473 (DVB-T2 and DVB-C)
I guess it is similar to this one; just a slightly different plastic
case with some more ventilation holes:
http://blog.palosaari.fi/2014/09/naked-hardware-18-astrometa-amdvb-t2-v2.ht…
The hardware appears to work fine, once I copied the
/lib/firmware/…
[View More]dvb-demod-mn88473-01.fw from somewhere. The firmware
upload has failed at least once on the Raspberry Pi 2 (using Linux
4.9.59), but never on another machine that runs a 4.13.0 kernel.
I did not yet get the infrared remote control to produce anything in
evtest.
With dvbv5-zap (after running dvbv5-scan), I can tune into DVB-T2
channels like this:
dvbv5-zap -a 0 -f 1 -c dvb_channel.conf 'Yle TV1 HD' -r
After this, I can play the video and audio stream on the Raspberry Pi 2:
omxplayer /dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr0
Unless I explicitly specify the options -a 0 -f 1, then dvbv5-zap will
fail to find any DVB-T2 senders, because it apparently defaults to
frontend0, which is DVB-T only.
In VDR 2.3.8, I have only been able to view DVB-T from the first
frontend.
When I did a trick and renamed /dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend1 to frontend0
before starting VDR, VDR no longer complained that the DVB-T2 channels
(which I converted from the dvb_channel.conf to channels.conf with
dvb-format-convert) not being available, but it did not seem to receive
anything from these channels either.
Also, after using dvbv5-scan or dvbv5-zap, I sometimes have to invoke
w_scan to "reset" the hardware so that VDR can receive DVB-T channels.
I would like to receive and record DVB-T and DVB-T2 on this setup. I am
willing to try patches or do some programming myself, but I would
appreciate some hints to get started.

Servus,
ich brauche ausnahmsweise mal Hilfe ;-)
Nach längerem habe ich mich endlich aufgerafft, meinen VDR von Ubuntu 14.04 /
Kernel 4.4.0 / vdr-2.2.0 / dddvb-0.9.32 hochzuziehen auf Ubuntu 18.04 / Kernel
4.15.0 / yavdr-2.4.0 / dddvb-0.9.38 (latest aus git). An den Configs habe ich
nichts geändert.
Die Karte ist eine DDBridge V 6.5 mit 4 Tunern. 1 und 2 liegen auf Astra
S19.2E, die beiden anderen auf Hotbird S13E. Die LNBs sind zwei Quad von
Kathrein, von denen jeweils nur die ersten …
[View More]beiden Ausgänge belegt sind. Die
disecq.conf ist die Standardeinstellung dafür wie aus dem Wiki, was immer
prima funktioniert hat.
Aber jetzt nicht mehr: Kanäle auf Astra werden ohne weiteres gefunden, aber
der VDR versucht nun S13E-Kanäle mit Tuner 1 oder 2 zu finden, was natürlich
scheitert:
Apr 30 17:41:47 vdr vdr: [16550] switching to channel 1 S19.2E-1-1019-10301 (Das Erste HD)
Apr 30 17:41:47 vdr vdr: [16851] device 1 receiver thread started (pid=16550, tid=16851, prio=high)
Apr 30 17:41:47 vdr vdr: [16852] device 1 TS buffer thread started (pid=16550, tid=16852, prio=high)
...
Apr 30 17:42:10 vdr vdr: [16550] switching to channel 61 S13.0E-318-12400-8511 (Rai 1)
Apr 30 17:42:10 vdr vdr: [16852] device 1 TS buffer thread ended (pid=16550, tid=16852)
...
Apr 30 17:42:10 vdr vdr: [16851] device 1 receiver thread ended (pid=16550, tid=16851)
Apr 30 17:42:10 vdr vdr: [16854] device 1 receiver thread started (pid=16550, tid=16854, prio=high)
Apr 30 17:42:10 vdr vdr: [16855] device 1 TS buffer thread started (pid=16550, tid=16855, prio=high)
Apr 30 17:42:19 vdr vdr: [16554] frontend 0/0 timed out while tuning to channel 61 (Rai 1), tp 210992
Ich hätte erwartet, dass er dafür frontend 2/0 oder 3/0 verwendet. Auf denen
wirft er aber ständig Timeouts zu Channels von S19.2E.
In /dev/dvb stehen alle 4 Adapter, und der VDR erkennt sie auch (found 4 DVB
devices).
Möglicherweise habe ich verpasst, weil ich sehr lange nicht danach geschaut
habe, dass sich an den diesbezüglichen Configs von vdr-2.2.0 nach -2.4.0 was
geändert hat.
Wo muss ich hinschauen?
Danke!

Twenty years ago today, I released the first version of the VDR source. A pretty long time, in which much has happened.
Back then a VDR was something special, while today it's just an ordinary device.
But still it feels good to be able to tweak things yourself.
Lately it's been rather quiet from my side, regarding the VDR development.
For one this was because it just works fine in every day life.
But I was also busy working on a totally different project.
I wanted to add/adjust the GPS …
[View More]coordinates in the many photos that piled up over the years (partly scanned from negatives).
Unfortunately there was no application available under Linux that really fit my needs (maybe I just missed that one great program ;-).
So I decided to do some development of my own, and today, for the 20th "birthday" of VDR, I'd like to present the result:
http://www.tvdr.de/geotagger
This is the very first version to go "out in the wild", so chances are there will still be some quirks.
So far I have tested it on Linux (openSUSE Leap 15.0) and Mac OS 10.13.
I can't test on Windows, because I don't have such a system.
Maybe it can be of some use to some of you out there, too.
Please send problem reports directly to me, so we don't clog this mailing list.

Hi List,
i'm using vdr 2.2.0-r5 + vnsi + kodi and I wonder if there is a way to
automatically filter encrypted tv channels from channels.conf.
My Problem is, that new channels are constantly added but pay TV channels can't
be encrypted. So I have to remove them manually once a week or so. Disabling
auto-adding new channels would require me to manually scan once in a while.
Disabling it is the best "solution" I came up with until now.
If there would be a way to periodically filter them (e.g. …
[View More]at night), I would be
very happy.
Regards,
Daniel

According to https://github.com/yavdr/vdr/blob/master/channels.c#L571 it's
definetly field #9. But there are channels with 0 at this position which I
can't view with kodi.
Would VDR change channels.…
[View More]conf if dvbscan wrote that field wrongly or just
leave it that way? I wonder if that's a bug.
