Video clips were using AC3. They have used to work fine so I downgraded to mplayer 1.0 pre 8 and now the audio gets passed through to the amplifier via FF card. The same mplayer.sh.conf works with pre8 but not with rc1.

AFAIK it is linked to the version of mjpegtools from debian etch, but didn't get it fixed so far. I got burn working by installing transcode and set the plugin up for it in the burn-plugin setup menu. Transcode uses tcmplex which worked fine for me. You can get it by adding deb http://www.debian-multimedia.org sarge main deb http://www.debian-multimedia.org etch main to your /etc/apt/sources.list Cheers, Andreas ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr

I assume that with the ability to force a reload by sending SIGHUP to the vdr process (which will be included in the upcoming version 1.5.1) this should not be necessary any more.

[vdr] [ANNOUNCE] VDR developer version 1.5.1
VDR developer version 1.5.1 is now available at ftp://ftp.cadsoft.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-1.5.1.tar.bz2 A 'diff' against the previous developer version is available at ftp://ftp.cadsoft.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-1.5.0-1.5.1.diff WARNING: This is a *developer* version. Even though *I* use it in my productive environment, I strongly recommend that you only use it under controlled conditions and for testing and debugging. The changes since version 1.5.0: - Added cDevice::HasCi() so that devices with Common Interface can be avoided when tuning to an FTA channel, thus preserving the CAM resources even on budget DVB cards (suggested by Petri Helin). - Fixed i18n characters for the Hungarian texts (thanks to Thomas Günther). - Now using cPipe instead of popen() in cCommand::Execute() to avoid problems with open file handles when starting background commands (thanks to Reinhard Nissl). - Removed 'assert(0)' from cDvbSpuDecoder::setTime() (thanks to Marco Schlüßler). - Fixed a possible crash when loading an invalid XPM file (thanks to Martin Wache). - Updated satellite names in 'sources.conf' (thanks to Thilo Wunderlich). - Adapted 'libsi' to DVB-S2 (thanks to Marco Schlüßler). - Fixed handling error status in cDvbTuner::GetFrontendStatus() (thanks to Reinhard Nissl). - Shutdown handling has been rewritten (thanks to Udo Richter). - Plugins can now implement the new function WakeupTime() to request VDR to wake up at a particular time (thanks to Udo Richter). - The HUP signal now forces a restart of VDR (thanks to Udo Richter). - cThread::EmergencyExit() has been replaced by ShutdownHandler.RequestEmergencyExit(). - Several references to "button" in a remote control context have been changed to "key" (based on a report from Marko Mäkelä regarding the "Menu button closes" text). The "MenuButtonCloses" parameter in 'setup.conf' has therefore been renamed to "MenuKeyCloses", accordingly. This will result in an "unknown config parameter: MenuButtonCloses" error message in the log file, so you may want to remove that entry from your 'setup.conf' file. - Simplified the error handling in cDvbTuner::GetFrontendStatus() (based on a discussion with Reinhard Nissl). - Updated the Finnish OSD texts (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - Increased the maximum number of DVB devices to 8 (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - The new Setup parameter "Channel entry timeout" can be used to customize the time since the last keypress until a numerically entered channel number is considered complete, and the channel is switched (suggested by Helmut Auer). Setting this parameter to 0 turns off the automatic channel switching, and the user will have to confirm the entry by pressing the "Ok" key. KNOWN BUG - PLEASE HELP DEBUGGING: Start VDR with only one FF DVB card and an attached CI with a CAM. Switch to an encrypted channel for the first time, the channel is shown in Transfer Mode. Wait for at least 10 seconds, so that VDR will mark the CAM as "able to decrypt this channel". Now switch to the same channel again (by selecting it from the Channels menu or typing in its number), and the screen goes black. VDR is now receiving the channel in normal live mode (no Transfer Mode). Apparently there is a problem with switching to live mode after using Transfer Mode. The problem goes away if you switch to a channel on a different transponder and then back to the original one. Now it is shown even in normal live mode. I did a lot of debugging to find out why this goes wrong, but was unable to fix it. Maybe somebody out there can find out why this doesn't work. Have fun!

Now that VDR 1.5.1 includes the patch, I wonder if you are going to maintain the patch for vdr 1.4, or at least continue to host the latest version on your home page. I strongly hope so, because I am reluctant to switch my production system to the development branch until that branch stabilizes or introduces significant new features, such as support for UTF-8 locales or DVB subtitles.

[vdr] [ANNOUNCE]: graphlcd-0.1.5
Hi, here is a new release of the GraphLCD base package and plugin for VDR. It fixes bugs and compile errors some people experienced. You can download the packages from the berlios project's file page: http://developer.berlios.de/project/showfiles.php?group_id=3566 Changes since 0.1.4: graphlcd-base changes: - added missing include path definition (thanks to Wolfgang Astleitner) - replaced unsigned long long with uint64_t - added missing includes - increased VER_MAJOR for glcdgraphics library as interface changed in an incompatible way (thanks to Tobias Grimm) - framebuffer driver: Changed type of fbp (framebuffer pointer) to void*. Compare fbp against MAP_FAILED to test for success of mmap. This should fix a x86_64 compile error. - ks0108 driver: Clear data lines after display refresh to fix problems with display contrast that occur under some conditions. vdr-graphlcd changes: - added some missing includes - do LCD initialisation in display thread instead of during plugin initialisation to fix some issues with direct port accesses (thanks to TomJoad from vdr-portal.de) Best regards Andreas ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr

I hope that you can release a 0.5 version of your patch that corresponds to what is included in VDR 1.5.1. Most notably, please rename the global variable Shutdown to ShutdownHandler.
