Re: [vdr] Replay Problems with Extension HD

2009-09-09 Thread jori.hamalainen
 Didn't realize that there was such a database of users available. 
 I'm pretty sure that _many_ of the VDR users are not aware of this 
 thus statistics are probably not very accurate. 
 Klaus should advertise this once in a while ;-)

Perhaps VDR should try to send UDP packet to Klaus's server when it starts.
Not all will not like it, but it is same for me. Windows software do this
constantly under name for automatically check for program updates.

[vdr] known user base (was: Re: Replay Problems with Extension HD)

2009-09-09 Thread Christian Tramnitz

I don't think people would like that.
DRBD has imho a good approach* to track users (and used versions!), but 
regardless of the method, this is certainly not on Klaus' priority list.



Best regards,
   Christian (#68)


*On first startup (or after upgrades) a unique ID will generated and the 
user will be asked if he wants to send this ID together with the current 
version to the maintainer. Optionally (to appear on a list just like 
vdr's user list) personal data may be entered, but this is up to the 
user. Pressing enter will just send the unique ID and version, aborting 
the prompt will not send anything.

User-tracking has _absolutely no place_ in VDR what-so-ever!!  It
serves no purpose and if someone wants to be added to a user list
somewhere, they can register themselves.  If someone really thinks
this is a brilliant idea, they can write a plugin to do it but it
should have no chance becoming a part of VDR core.

No offense but that's the worst idea I've heard by far.

Same behaviour with your xorg.conf unfortunately.


I've heard there are some buggy intel-DDXes floating around.
I don't know which one you use. A possible workaround is
do add

SubSection Display
Virtual3200 1200
EndSubSection

to the Screen section. Attached is a further 'xorg.conf'
with the workaround included. Please give it a try.



I added this section but it didn't make any difference.

I have now fixed it though by adding a new monitor for VGA-1 and setting 
Ignore to true in xorg.conf.


Thanks again for the help (wouldn't have found this if I hadn't started 
looking into Clone as you mentioned earlier in the thread!)
