[vdr] Remote receiver options...
I've been following various threads over the past year or so exploring various options for having a server-client vdr setup and it got me thinking. I'm currently using a home-brew LIRC receiver attached to a serial port which works perfectly. The ION-based boards look very nice as a vdr front end (using xinelibout or some yet-to-be-written plugin!) because they can do hardware HD decoding. However, I suspect a lot of these lack a serial port so my simple LIRC receiver would be no good. What are others doing in this sort of situation? USB-based receiver (there are a couple described at lirc.org), or do most of the ION boards still have a serial header (must admit, not looked into this properly yet!)? Several DVB devices do contain receivers but that pretty much defeats the object of having a server containing DVB devices and a client just for viewing. It all looks nice in principle but any lack of a remote is a deal breaker! Cheers, Laz ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
Re: [vdr] Remote receiver options...
I have an Silverstone LC16M which came preinstalled with a USB Imon pad i think it's called and I too replaced my homebuild serial LIRC device. It actually works better, in the sense that it can actually power on/off my pc from standby which was a big plus for me. (The serial version would have been able to pull that off to in the end, as there was options for this sorta) On 01/25/11 10:53, Laz wrote: I've been following various threads over the past year or so exploring various options for having a server-client vdr setup and it got me thinking.

Hi. I use the Hauppauge MCE USB remote and think it's really good.

[vdr] vdr crash on delete
Hi! Is this bug or feature. *(VDR 1.7.15)* You select Menu - Recordings - (select one record) - press Delete-button. 1. System asks, do you want to delete recording 2. you don't press enter, just let that query be on the OSD 3. after 60 seconds, vdr-thread restarts... -- JJussi ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
Re: [vdr] Remote receiver options...
MCE usb remote is a good choice or you could build your own very easily using an FTDI component and an IR receiver. In either case it will cost you about $25 or less. Btw, I actually use a couple ION boxes for VDR. I don't use a server/client setup however because from what I understand it just isn't mature enough. I would like full independent osd's on each client, epg is populated by server and shared with clients, and good handling of timers. And I don't want to have to run a bunch of plugins or extra junk to make it work. If I wanted a slapped together solution out of whatever was laying around, I'd just run mythtv but that's not what I'm looking for. Come to think of it, I wonder how the new OSD system will factor into having multiple clients, or if that aspect is being considered at all. Probably not. But that's talk for another thread anyways I think. ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr

I used for a while a USB-BT dongle plus PS3 Blu-Ray remote with that ION mobo. RF was pretty robust snappy compared to IR.

Re: [vdr] Remote receiver options...
Hi, most motherboards have serial header on board. I've used Atric IR-Einschalter on one HTPC and I can really recommend it http://www.atric.de/IR-Einschalter/index.php On another HTPC I've used USB remote that was bundled with the case (MS-Tech MC-1200) and the problem was that the device was detected as HID device and some keys generated combined events like Shift+3, Ctrl+Shift+Alt+R and so on. I wasn't able to configure LIRC to understand it so in the end I wrote a small application to remap these combinations to single events. Michal On 01/25/2011 11:45 AM, Magnus H wrote: Hi.

Re: [vdr] Remote receiver options...
http://www.huitsing.nl/irftdi/ Check that link. there is a company that makes a IR sensor and USB interface module. Some have the cables made up and you can get them from digi key. Just plug in to a usb port and use the right driver.

Normally, VDR waits for 10 seconds, then cancels the question. Thats how it works for me. Generally, if VDR displays a message or question in the status line, the VDR main thread is frozen for that time. If the question is displayed longer than the watchdog timeout, VDR restarts. The question is, why does the delete question wait for more than 60 seconds for you... Cheers, Udo ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
