Re: [vdr] A new possibility for lower power high performance VDR
I have myself thinked about the possibility of running vdr/xineliboutput client on low end systems that just have usb 2.0 but not any graphic cards or free pci slots available. Has anybody experiences from the usb vga or usb dvi graphic card adapters like these? http://gizmodo.com/gadgets/adapter/usb-to-dvi-adapter-expands-screen-space-without-adding-video-cards-316944.php http://www.ipcmax.com/product_info.php?products_id=1238 ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
Re: [vdr] vdr 1.7.4 xineliboutput
did you check it with dvb-s2 h264 hdtv channels too ? At least arte worked for me about 1 or 2 week ago released xineliboutput cvs version. I however noticed it to be a little unstable in my system. (crashed much easier than 1.0.4 with 1.6.0) Mika ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr

(crashed much easier than 1.0.4 with 1.6.0) The SD channels are working fine for me, but I have issues with the HD channels (audio and video). It looks like there is a problem with the buffers or so. So for HD channels I record them to the harddisk and then use xine to playback the recorded file. I have also to increase some buffers in ~/.xine/config otherwise I had problems with the audio on ArteHD: engine.buffers.audio_num_buffers:500 engine.buffers.video_num_buffers:1000 Regards, Artem ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr

Re: [vdr] [patch] compil vdr-1.7.4 against v4l-dvb hg as of today
some x-vdr users reported problems with compiling mplayer and some plug-ins like music too. We solved this by adding DEFINES += -D__KERNEL_STRICT_NAMES Why would this suddenly be necessary? I don't know, but it seems to work. Marc ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
Re: [vdr] Pvrinput and HVR1300
Martin Dauskardt kirjoitti: So does anyone know if the same applies for analogtv plugin also? \\Kartsa Forget the analogtv-plugin. Development stopped years ago. It does not support the current v4l2 mpeg API, so even a PVR150/250/350 would not work. My advise: Sell your HVR 1300 to a Windows user and buy a PVR150 + a Linux-supported DVB-T USB-stick. I have actually been thinking of that possibility also. The problem is there are no PVR150 available. At least I have not seen those for a while. Would PVR250 be as good/easy to install? I believe I could find one of those. \\Kartsa ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr

Has anybody experiences from the usb vga or usb dvi graphic card adapters like these? I think the answer is here: Sewell claims that these USB-driven monitors have the same quality as standard DVI monitors at displays of* up to 20-inches* And what about all the GPU power? Someone has to handle MPEG decoding in hardware. As I see it, if you want low power silent box in your living room you'll have to keep a server with cards/USBs somewhere in your basement. If I had a basement, that's exactly that I would do :) Well, at the moment I have amd X2 4850 cpu on my server and one of the client is about 10 year old Pentium III 733 mhz with 10 mb network card and and integrated intel graphich card. This client user vdr-xineliboutput to 20 VGA monitor and works very well with SD channels. I have also tested streaming from VDR to Nokia N810 internet tablet. In that test I used the Streamdev plugin on server and mplayer on Nokia N810. (I have not tested xineliboutput with N810 because xine related libs seems to be hard to find for it and I did not had time by myself to start building everything for that...) So it indicates that the client do not neccessary need to have so much power on client unless the USB graphich card is very different beast from the resource eating standpoint. The life is going toward high definition. My E6600 can hardly handle that with CPU decoding. By low power silent box I mean an Atom based set-top box with integrated video chip - short term it's probably nVidia, but I think Intel will join that club pretty soon.
