Re: [vdr] [OT] ARM based devices for VDR server and client
The goal is to have a VDR device which consumes the ???least possible??? amount of power. I heard that ARM based devices are good for this. Does anyone on this list have any experiences using ARM based devices? 1. Since the boards are mostly small one needs to use mostly USB devices, doesn???t one? 2. Is the performance high enough to playback SDTV? It should. 3. What about HDTV? I have N810 (Arm 2420 Omap) and tested the playback of sdtv with it by using the mplayer as a player which connected to VDR streamdev server. For a while the playback was good but then there were also moments where the playback or sounds get scattered. For fun I was also planning to build the vdr-sxfe for N810 but newer finished that one... (I was not able to find prebuild xine-libs and friends for Maemo, so I would have needed to build those and couple of other dependencies first and I did not had enough time for that) 4. Especially the Beagle Board [1][2] was covered a lot in the press. But it is not completely free, i. e. the specifications and the toolchain is not freely available, is not it [3]? Sorry, if I am wrong about this. Openembedded supports beagleboard among many other targets so you can use that to build toolchain, bootable image and applications for the beagleboard.

Re: [vdr] [OT] ARM based devices for VDR server and client
As far as I know uses the reel NetClient an ARM core but I am not shure which one and if there is an additional graphics processor onboard. As long as nobody buys this box and opens it, we won't know. Helge. Paul Menzel schrieb: Dear list, I searched the Web but could not find a lot of reviews or tests about ARM based VDR systems.

Re: [vdr] Restricting a particular dvb card from tuning to channels?with a selected modulation
VDR User wrote:
I believe the best way to handle this situation is by allowing the
user control over what devices may be used to tune what channels. VDR
can't be smart enough to figure it out due to incorrect bad design
in v4l. Another strong reason to allow this to be configured at the
user-level is what if the the user has 2 devices...both able to tune a
channel but the signal is weak. Tuner 1 can tune it fine but tuner 2
has problems because of the weak signal. VDR is simply going to ask a
free tuner 'can you tune this?', whereas the best scenario would be
for the user to say 'use tuner 1 for this channel'.
I can think of two ways to better deal with this; adding a new field
in channels.conf,
Doesn't the CA field in channels.conf already allow this?
Conditional access
A hexadecimal integer defining how this channel can be
accessed:
Free To Air
0001...000F explicitly requires the device with the given number
I don't know if it works if you specify more than one device, but it
certainly works to specify only one device.
