[vdr] skip +/- 60 sec suggestion.
When using the skip forward / backward buttons, eg to jump through the ads, it would be convenient if the skip backward button skipped backwards 30 seconds instead of 60, on the first press. Subsequent skip backwards would skip 60 seconds as normal. This would make it easier to narrow down the start of a program after skipping ads. -- -Tor ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
[vdr] [ANNOUNCE] vdr-dxr3 0.2.12
vdr-dxr3 version 0.2.12 is out, noteworthy changes since 0.2.11: - Make dist target depend on up to date *.po (Ville Skyttä) - Use pkg-config to locate libavcodec (Ville Skyttä) - Avoid deprecation warnings with libavcodec >= 52.26.0 (Ville Skyttä) - Compiler warning cleanups (Ville Skyttä) - Reintroduce AC3 decoding (Luca Olivetti) - Fix fast forward with VDR 1.7.x (Luca Olivetti) 0.2.x is the "stable" series of the dxr3 plugin, targeted primarily for VDR 1.6.x at the moment, but it should work to some extent also with VDR 1.7.x. More extensive work on the next version is underway at http://projects.vdr-developer.org/projects/show/plg-dxr3 Downloads are available at: http://sourceforge.net/projects/dxr3plugin/files/dxr3-0.2.x/0.2.12/ http://projects.vdr-developer.org/projects/plg-dxr3/files ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr

Maybe a plugin could be written for VDR which provides the same function. Would be very cool and resolve the problem with seeking h264 recordings where the still frame will remain unchanged for several seconds and by the time it does change, its seeked several minutes.

Please use the following patch for kernel 2.6.{36,37} (in attachment). Christian's repository hasn't been changed for a 3 months and you cannot compile modules for a newer kernels. I maintain em8300-hg and em8300-utils-hg packages for archlinux. Yarema 2011/2/6 Ville Skyttä > On 02/06/2011 06:29 PM, Helmut Auer wrote: > > > Thanks for the update !

Re: [vdr] skip +/- 60 sec suggestion.
I would not trust an ads auto skipper until broadcasters were required to embed something to signal the start/stop of ads and that be enforced by withdraw of broadcast license if not followed. And that will never happen. Advertises do anything and everything to get their ads watched even to the point of taking companies to court to remove ads skipping systems. If want to save a recording without adds, better to just edit them out by hand. I use the jump ahead to skip comercials and then rw back a bit because it never seems to be the same jump amount. Sometimes they have more comercials and now I'm also noticing that skip seems to not always skip the same amount. Sometimes it only skips ahead a few seconds. I've had to skip twice to get through the same comercial at times.
