Well, it was just a quick shot.

In the long run this is the plan, but as a first step I wanted to
do the freetype and UTF-8 stuff separately.

At least the German texts need to remain iso8859-1, because I maintain
these myself ;-)

Re: [vdr] Freeview Playback

2007-06-12 Thread Andrew Herron

Hi,

My understanding is that the updated epg data has been transmitted here in
the uK across all dvb-t mux's since about March/April. Not all channels may
have completely updated there backend systems yet but all the major channels
have done so. Clearly launching the Freeview Playback 'brand' and therefore
its feature set means the epg data must be broadly available for these new
PVR boxes to work as advertised.

So the data must be there somewhere ;-)

The EPG format is covered by this document (which I think is the latest
issue)

http://webapp.etsi.org/action/OP/OP20060428/en_300468v010701o.pdf

so presumably the data fits in to the specification somehow. I looked
through this and also checked the broadcast data with dvbsnoop last
weekend but couldn't see anything obvious. Maybe no-one is broadcasting
the links yet.

It would certainly be an excellent addition to VDR.

unfortunately this patches do not fix Transtation problems complete.
i still have segmentation faults for example with softdevice plugin.
maybe this help: vdr has translation "none". softdevice as also
"none".
at this translation "none" have i core dumps...

Klaus what about gettext? This ist better alternative to "Home-made"
converting.

Or minimaly without on the fly converting of i18n strings,  these string
use from the begin as utf8 strings.

Sorry ... I don't understand and can't find any sence.
If you export  for window, you make this with SAMBA. And you can
configure share with UTF-8
man smb.conf
-
unix charset (G)
   Specifies the charset the unix machine Samba runs on uses. Samba
   needs to know this in order to be able to convert  text  to  the
   charsets other SMB clients use.

   This  is  also  the charset Samba will use when specifying argu‐
   ments to scripts that it invokes.

   Default: unix charset = UTF8

 
you can drop VFAT part

Subject: [vdr] VDR 1.5.3: UTF-8 vs. ExchangeChars()
From: Klaus Schmidinger <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
To: vdr@linuxtv.org

The function ExchangeChars() in VDR/recording.c converts characters
that can't be used in file names on Windows to "#XX", where XX
is
the hex code of the character.

This was simple when VDR only worked with single byte character sets,
but now that it can handle UTF-8 this needs to be changed, too.

Currently it has a list of characters that can be used "as
is",
and converts everything else to "#XX". I guess it is better
to convert any "disturbing" characters to "#XX" and
leave the
rest untouched. However, this requires that we know exactly
which characters can't be used with Windows.

Does anybody have that kind of information?
Or should this be done completely different?

Note that I don't use this feature myself, so unless there
is some input from others, I won't be changing anything here.

I was wondering already about "Invalid characters *include*",

Ok, so far we have

and

   * ? !

However, '!' is in the list of characters that can be used "as is"
right now, so where do you take it from that this character is also
invalid?

Also: the '.' is perfectly ok, unless at the end of a directory name.
So, from my point of view the characters to be exchanged to "#XX"
are

  " / \ [ ] : ; = , * ?
and
  . at the end of a directory name

Any others?

That was my first thought, too. But it would mean having an

The EPG format is covered by this document (which I think is the latest 
issue) 

http://webapp.etsi.org/action/OP/OP20060428/en_300468v010701o.pdf

so presumably the data fits in to the specification somehow. I looked

It would certainly be an excellent addition to VDR.

[vdr] VDR 1.5.3: UTF-8 vs. ExchangeChars()

2007-06-12 Thread Klaus Schmidinger
The function ExchangeChars() in VDR/recording.c converts characters
that can't be used in file names on Windows to "#XX", where XX is
the hex code of the character.

This was simple when VDR only worked with single byte character sets,
but now that it can handle UTF-8 this needs to be changed, too.

Currently it has a list of characters that can be used "as is",
and converts everything else to "#XX". I guess it is better
to convert any "disturbing" characters to "#XX" and leave the
rest untouched. However, this requires that we know exactly
which characters can't be used with Windows.

Does anybody have that kind of information?
Or should this be done completely different?

Note that I don't use this feature myself, so unless there
is some input from others, I won't be changing anything here.

I'm considering compiling one font file directly into the program,
so that, in case no external fonts can be found, it can at least
run properly.

Can somebody suggest a freetype font that looks good, covers all
necessary locales, and is really free, so that it can be redistributed
with the VDR source?

I'll first try using fontconfig, as has been suggested earlier.
If that works, we probably won't be needing a FONTDIR at all.

[vdr] vdr 1.5.3 SUSE Linux rpm packages available

2007-06-12 Thread Ludwig Nussel
Hi,

I've added vdr 1.5 to the buildservice now as well. Packages are
available for 10.0, 10.1 and 10.2 at
http://software.opensuse.org/download/vdr/

The package is called 'vdr15' and uses a different configuration
directory so it can be installed in addition to the 1.4 version.

The vdr-plugins package contains plugins both 1.4 as well as 1.5.

[vdr] Freeview Playback

2007-06-12 Thread Alex Stansfield
Hi,

with the launch of Freeview Playback in the UK, I was wondering if 
anyone here knew how the series links were sent to the dvb box.

Freeview Playback is a system by which series link information is sent 
to the dvb box, allowing someone to select to record a whole series. 
Some sort of link information is sent, I guess in the epg, about each 
episode so that the dvb box can be sure it's always recording unique 
episodes of a series.

I thought that support for Freeview Playback would be an excellent 
addition to plugins like epgsearch.

If anyone knows any more about how the system works or has the DTG 
specification (can't see it on their website) please let me know.

Cheers,

Alex

Re: [vdr] Plugin patches for vdr-1.5.3

2007-06-12 Thread Christian Wieninger
Hi,

> liemikuutio.

I've uploaded a beta for epgsearch, that supports vdr-1.5.3:

http://winni.vdr-developer.org/epgsearch/downloads/vdr-epgsearch-0.9.23-beta1.tgz

But there still remains the problem with translations in plugins as 
already posted here. So you should also apply the patch provided by 
Alexander Riegel to fix this.

BR,

Christian
