Re: [vdr] Yaepghd record dialog
Thankyou The patched yaepghd now silently adds a timer (or deletes one if it already exists) for the selected event. The help bar is behaving strangely. I had no rgyb ellipses. Even when I re-implemented the ellipses in the code some were coloured some were not and some would be coloured depending on what event was selected. Are you using a different theme to the one included with Yaepghd? If I edited the background png were the help bar is making it black I could see the coloured ellipses.

[vdr] deinterlacing VDR-HD on xine?
Hello list, after some unsuccesfull tests with HD-VDR on Ubuntu, I decided to return to Opensuse (i'm using it for SD-VDR for about 4 years). I installed a fresh 11.2 x64 version, compiled v4l-dvb-b8eb9e860545 drivers, installed NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-190.32, compiled xine-lib-1.2 patched with xine-lib-1.2-vdpau-r284.diff by Reinhard Nissl, vdr-1.7.9 with liemikuutio patch, vdr-xine-0.9.3 and PearlHD skin. I had to make the following settings to have a tear-free HD video: - give 512 MB RAM for onboard video (i have 8200 onboard on Asus M3N78-VM, 2GB) - set cpu-freq to the max. possible value of 2.1 GHz (aka "performance governor") as i had problems letting cpu-freq to choose the cpu frequency (i don't understand, why, as i had no cpu load higher than 40% even on high bitrate HD channels) - AMD BE-2350 - disabling composite out in xorg.conf (I have a 1920x1080 LCD connected via dvi) - and the usual settings in ~/.xine/config for buffer values Now VDR works fine even on high bitrate channels with "xine --post vdr_video --post vdr_audio --post upmix_mono --post vdr". The problem is, if I'm trying to activate deinterlacing in xine ( -Dtvtime:method=Greedy2Frame,cheap_mode=0,pulldown=0,use_progressive_frame_flag=1 and many other tvtime setups) I end up with some dropped frames and freezes on high bitrate HD channels (>12mbps). Is this issue coming from my hardware's limitations (not enough CPU or GPU power), or is there any more things to fine-tune? thanks, István -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean. ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr

Maybe I should have mentioned that you have to add a new eventInfo area to the theme file in order to see the status of the events just like in vanilla vdr schedule menu ( [* t T V] currently running, timer offset, timer , and VPS) eventInfoFont="Accidental Presidency;20" # same as eventDate and eventTime eventInfoColor=FF1B537C eventInfoGeom=x,y,w,h x1,y1 are the coordinates and w, h the width, resp. height of the eventInfo area. So you have to find a free place depending on your theme file. By the way, you can edit the yaepghd theme file while vdr is running.

If I edited the background > png were the help bar is making it black I could see the coloured ellipses. A part of this patch is originally from my yaepgsd (downgraded for 80 kb FF osd memory). This is why I commented the ellipses out, as they would all have the same color anyway. In my sd theme I don't even have a helpbar.

Thanks for the hint, but this is a pain.
A quick search found the "confidential" A-PID list from here:
http://www.digita.fi/binary.asp?path=1840;1852;7462;11558
Seems they are rotating between three apids on each channel. How
ingenious :/

[vdr] skinsoppalusikka box size in HD
Hello,
I am using skinsoppalusikka(thanks Rolf for great job). VDR with latest
xineliboutput allow use full HD OSD. But it is problem because box size
for timers and status is divided from symbol size and it is too small. I
can't use font sizes over 3.6%.
Here is bugfix for replay screen.
Jiri
PS: exept this bug, skinsoppalusikka use olny one lineWeight. If you try
use bigger small font than normal characters overload from boxies, but
it is not fixed in this patch.

It might be interesting to learn why they do this "PID cycling"
in the first place. Have you ever tried contacting them and asking
why they do such a stupid thing?

Different programmes have a different number of languages, so the number
of active pids changes. Isn't that correct behaviour?

I enabled deinterlacing in vdpau and it's working fine :) Thanks for the

a huge black border. At the moment I have two solution for this: press Z

to zoom, or set up a 1.33 zoom ratio in vdr-xine setup window.
Is there any way to switch this zoom level on/off with my

Sure, but why "cycle" them through various values, and not use the same
ones for the same languages?
As long as the PID switch takes place outside a show, that's of course ok.
Switching them *inside* a show is IMHO not a good idea.

As far as I can see they keep them the same, and VDR retunes just
because the number of tracks changes.

> Switching them *inside* a show is IMHO not a good idea.
The change of active PIDs takes place when a show begins, causing 1-2s
of stream to go missing due to the retune as Jouni described in the
initial post.
