[vdr] 4 and 5
Hello, Linowsat (http://www.linowsat.com/settings/vdr/unsorted/0282/fta-tv.conf) has listings for both Channel 4 and Five as FTA. I know they are FTV on Sky. When I try to watch I have EPG data and femon shows signal but I have no image or sound. Is this a Linowsat error or am I doing something wrong? Cheers Tony Lines from the conf file Channel 4;BSkyB:12168:vC23:S28.2E:27500:2338:2339=eng:2340:0:9207:2:2024:0 Five;BSkyB:12304:hC23:S28.2E:27500:513:641=eng,661=NAR:577:0:9342:2:2031:0 -- ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr

Do you have any idea how to watch several streams with your plugin without transcoding all the time? i only need the transcode when i watch one of the stream channels, so VoD would be very usefull.. Hi. Iptv plugin uses VLC to transcode only the stream being currently received so there really should not be any CPU power wasted on transcoding inactive streams. In other words a simple video on demand system should already be in place. At least I can add multiple streams to the channel list and only the active one is being transcoded. Have you experienced different behavior? Of course if recording then VDR will keep the stream opened and iptv plugin has to launch another instance of VLC to keep receiving two streams at the same time. BTW. we've actually been looking into adding support for receiving rtsp streams and while it is more laborous than other protocols I think implementing it would be entirely possible. Testing is a bit hard since I'm not aware of suitable mpeg2 rtsp -stream providers. Are there any publicly available? -- Antti Seppälä ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr

I have an experimental version of my streamplayer plugin that allows to use RTSP streaming, based on the liblivemedia library. Though this is not fully working yet due to mysterious stream throughput issues, I think that the decision to use liblivemedia as protocol layer is a good way to go. Basically, you provide the URL, pick the wanted sub-streams, and liblivemedia delivers video and audio as separate data streams. If you're interested, I can share my work-in-progress source code. (well, not much progress lately...) Testing is a bit hard since I'm not aware of suitable mpeg2 rtsp -stream providers. Are there any publicly available? The vlc player with its integrated vlm server (aka. telnet interface) is a good starting point, as it provides RTSP VoD sources with the ability of play/pause and seek. I'm not sure, but I think vlm can also stream live streams. And even on-the-fly transcoding works. Cheers, Udo ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr

FWIW, not that I really know about either or about the reasoning, but there seems to be some kind of movement towards using libnemesi instead of liblivemedia (I assume this is the live555 thingy) in projects such as mplayer and ffmpeg recently. http://live.polito.it/ ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr

[vdr] xineliboutput frontend sometimes hangs
Hi, When I switch from any channel to channel 1 ( ARD / Das Erste ). it happens sometimes that the vdr-??fe freezes. I have tried vdr-fbfe and vdr-sxfe, and xineliboutput 1.00rc2 and also the cvs version. The error was not always the same: with vdr-fbfe I have to kill and restart it, with vdr-sxfe the screen blanks on channel 1 and I can zap to other channels which were fine, but back to 1 gets a blank screen. After restarting vdr-sxfe everything's fine again.

Hi JJussi, Take a look on the Gentoo VDR Projec site [1] There is an info how to use different overlays on Gentoo. This plugin is available on overlay vdr-1.5 If you miss a plugin , yust open a bug on Gentoo bugtracker [2] and ask for the ebuild.

I'm not sure, but I think vlm can also stream live streams. And even on-the-fly transcoding works. i have played a bit with VLM these days. VoD works with different types of media, but transcode will only work if your input stream is mpeg2. -- Jan Segers Op deze e-mail zijn de volgende voorwaarden van toepassing: http://www.fontys.nl/disclaimer The above disclaimer applies to this e-mail message. winmail.dat___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
Re: [vdr] [ANNOUNCE] vdr-iptv-0.0.2
Iptv plugin uses VLC to transcode only the stream being currently received so there really should not be any CPU power wasted on transcoding inactive streams. well, then i misunderstood the whole thing. i thought that the user has to make the stream ready and iptv will use it. at least thats how i understand your explaination on your website. so iptv opens vlc to transcode the stream as soon as i tune to the stream channel and stops with transcoding as soon as i leave the stream channel? In other words a simple video on demand system should already be in place. At least I can add multiple streams to the channel list and only the active one is being transcoded. Have you experienced different behavior? to be honest, i did not make that many tests. i just tryed to prepare my vdr for this new streaming possibility. maybe i should focus on reading your new README ;) anyway, i dont need rtsp support if multiple windows media streams will work on demand. i hope i got it right. -- Jan Segers Op deze e-mail zijn de volgende voorwaarden van toepassing: http://www.fontys.nl/disclaimer The above disclaimer applies to this e-mail message. winmail.dat___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr

[vdr] [ANNOUNCE] vdr-iptv-0.0.3
Hello VDR community Iptv plugin developers are pleased to announce a release of vdr-iptv plugin version 0.0.3. This time the plugin includes a couple of bug fixes and tweaks (for example no more crashes at shutdown). This version also features back-ports of necessary iptv integration patches for vdr version 1.4.7. In other words using iptv plugin with stable vdr version should now be possible.
