Re: [vdr] ATSC a good primers guide? (Moving from Italy to the US with my VDR setup)
I'm looking at moving from Italy to the US in the summer and am trying to spend my time (while not highly preoccupied about health insurance, jobs, houses, shipping etc) trying to think through taking my VDR setup and Dreambox over to the US. I currently have a couple of Hauppauge DVB-S cards (a Nexus and a Nova) and a Hauppauge DVB-T card in the setup for digital terrestrial. I am wondering in the US if I should go with ATSC or Dish/Direct TV (or both). I'm aiming for Rockford, Illinois which has ATSC coverage. I have three vomp boxes hanging off the VDR server which I was planning to take with me. These currently connect with RGB Scart to my TV's. Then the dreambox 800 connects with HDMI. So, would the DVB-T card just work with ATSC or is it fundamentally different (like DVB-C is different to DVB-S). In which case should I get a USB ATSC dongle or two? For Cabel and Terr you need a patched VDR Also you need then a plugin to get the epg data over atsc Take a closer look here -- http://www.fepg.org/ If you use VDR on Gentoo, yust enable use-flag atsc -- Regards Gentoo Developer Joerg Bornkessel hd_bru...@gentoo.org ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr

Re: [vdr] vdr-sxfe + remote control
If I understood the issue correctly, Alex (the OP) has problems because the USB receiver gives BOTH kb events and makes a lirc device, and the KB events are not wanted and cause problems. I'd look in /dev/input to see which event device is the one for the KB side of the receiver and disable it; perhaps via Xorg.conf (I'd assume this is somehow possible). That would be a general solution for all software, including those that don't have an option for disabling keyboaard.But, as already stated by Jukka, vdr-sxfe already has one... but then maybe we didnt understand the issue correctly =) -- -- Ville Aakko - ville.aa...@gmail.com ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr

NVidia HDMI audio is supported in Linux but you need at least kernel 2.6.28 or drivers from ALSA 1.0.18 and you need to configure things to use it instead of the default (asoundrc, pulse config because it ignores asoundrc, xine/vdr-sxfe because it ignores asoundrc and pulse config).

I'll try both --nokbd and spcifying which input should be used for keyboard in xorg.conf as soon as I'll get home. To sum the replies, looks like I have to use --lirc option for vdr-sxfe and --lirc=/dev/null with vdr. 2 more issue I still have to resolve: - repetition problem for the keys, pressing 1 might produce 111. Will probably have to play with some options in lircd.conf. - Key sequences configuration, play button is mapped to something like CTRL, SHIFT, P, how do I configure vdr-sxfe to understand the whole sequence as a single button? -- -- Ville Aakko - ville.aa...@gmail.com ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr

[vdr] xineliboutput + vdpau not ready for prime time
I have made some experiments with xineliboutput and vdpau, it looked promising, but at least I had to give up for now. I have used vdr 1.6.0, xineliboutput 1.0.3, nvidia driver 180.22, xine-lib-vdpau from 20090113 and xinelib 1.1.90hg from 20090114 with vdpau-patch r160. I use it with sdtv, because I have only DVB-T and a PVR350. The cpu usage for vdr-sxfe goes down from 25% to 7%, but the picture is not in sync with the sound. The biggest problem is that if I switch channels it happens that the video starts to flicker. You can see that between the pictures of the current channel the pictures of the previous channel appear. Restarting vdr-sxfe fixes it till the next channel switch. In the beginning of my test this happened seldom, but now it happens with every channel switch, the problem is that I have no idea what configuration change I have done that is to blame. Does anyone have an idea what I can try next, or should I simply wait for a better version of the xine-lib for vdpau.
