I've seen numerous people make the same request and although I don't
use a rotor myself, I do agree support for it should be included in
vanilla VDR as it's a basic common function & equipment.  I'll guess
that if enough people reply to this thread that Klaus may add it to
his TODO list (assuming it isn't there already).

I'm sure if Klaus decides to implement this, he'll do it in such a way
that makes the most sense & flexibile usability to maximize the
benefit of adding it.  No point in adding more functionality if you
leave it crippled. :)

[vdr] Request for rotor integration to vdr

2010-06-23 Thread Timothy D. Lenz
The rotor plugin doesn't seem to be maintained anymore and was always 
somewhat of a hack to vdr. Seems to me rotor control should really be a 
part of vdr diseqc control code. Just about every sat box out there 
includes rotor control function.


I also looked at the Actuator plugin because I am interested in getting 
something going with c-band and thought maybe it included rotor 
commands. Don't it does, doesn't look like it's been updated since 
vdr-1.6.0, and requires a custom kernel module. I don't mind building 
custom electronics and was planing to anyway. But I don't want to have 
to hack code into the kernel. I think they have boxes that provide 
actuator control from rotor diseqc commands anyway which brings us back 
to including it.


I would also like to see it be able to handle a rotor per card. Not much 
point in having several sat tuners if they all have to look at the same sat.

hello, try to do as I did with svn xine-lib 1.2

read this
http://hg.debian.org/hg/xine-lib/xine-lib-1.2-vdpau/file/57d31b4ca5e0/contrib/README.contrib

and compile xine-lib with new sources of libfaad2 on contrib folder

http://www.audiocoding.com/faad2.html download from this site

is working with me to Portugal.

only on vdr-xineliboutput.

and yes Femon 1.7.7 does not detect this audio codec, this one must be
update like vdr-xine

hope that helps,

best regards.

[vdr] rotor screen missing stuff

2010-06-23 Thread martinez
The plugin has been downgraded. There are people who use a patched and patched 
0.1.4 rather than the official 0.1.5
The situation with the rotor plugin is so bad (so much patching needed to get 
it to work and then I found it makes vdr unstable)  I've resorted to having two 
parallel installations of vdr
one I use just for the rotor plugin when I need to use it to align the dish and 
store the positions.

In my 'normal' vdr installation I don't use the rotor plugin but rather diseq 
commands 'Go to position X'

Here is my diseqc.conf if it helps you:

I guess it comes down to the hard truth that there is no vdr 1.7.x user with C 
programming skills using a rotor who needs something more than USALS 1.2

I am trying to get my rotor working again. I had been using v0.1.4 with 
vdr-1.6.0. Now I'm trying to get v.0.1.5 working with vdr-1.7.15. On the 
rotor page, Postion information no longer shows the sat it matches to, 
the option to do a scan on the current TP is gone, and the lock and 
other indicators are gone. Was that all part of the text2skin plugin 
which I'm not using now? or has the plugin been down graded?

Hi Bjørnar

(I changed the subject as I do not think it is directly related to the
original issue).

I'm no expert when it comes to the audio formats, but I have the same
experience here in Denmark. AFAICT the problem is missing LATM AAC[1]
decoding support in xine/ffmpeg/libfaad itself.
Neither xineliboutput or xine plugins provide audio for our MPEG4
channels, but I can connect mplayer or vlc to xineliboutput on port
37890 and get audio, so the core VDR components are not to blame. My
ffmpeg says something about missing LATM support when playing your
recording and my own:

If you run xine --verbose=2 on the recording or on the xineliboutput
stream you will similarly see libfaad errors from the failed audio decoding.

I have experimented with a Personal Package Archive at Launchpad[2] to
do some further testing but my conclusion so far is that no combination
of recent ffmpeg and xine versions support LATM. Other players like vlc,
xbmc, mythtv and mplayer apparently include their own LATM
parser/decoder before handing of the decoding of the raw AAC stream to
libfaad.

I also commented on the issue at the VDR portal[3], but with no solution
so far.
I anyone knows more about this issue I'm all ears!

This is a xine problem, and not a vdr problem.
Linux mplayer plays that stream's audio so the audio is OK.
The latest development version of xine might work better.
