Re: [vdr] Weird recording problem
I sent off a question to customer support at Teracom and got a reply indicating that they do have an error relating to these channels in their 'coding platform'. 'Your problem seems to relate to the error we have', was their statement. They had no due date for fixing it though. I managed to build the yavdr teams vdr-dev(1.7.17) for Ubuntu Lucid, from source with my change so I can again record TV6. The main reason for using the yavdr stuff is VDPAU, as I use xineliboutput. /Johan Johan Andersson skrev 2011-05-26 07:16: Klaus Schmidinger skrev 2011-05-26 00:41: If you can point me to an official standard document that defines 000 as a valid picture coding type... ;-) Just curious: since as you write TV4 works and TV6 doesn't, and both are apparently broadcast by the same provider, is there any chance you could contact that provider and ask why this difference exists?

Getting a VDR setup with vdpau is very easy. There's no need to use special repositories, packages, etc. unless you actually want to. If vdpau is the only thing you're after, you might be creating more work for yourself by not just keeping it small & simple. ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr

If vdpau is the only thing you're after, you might be creating more work for yourself by not just keeping it small& simple. Perhaps. I had a lot of trouble a year or so ago trying to get xineliboutput working with VDPAU under Ubuntu9. It has probably improved since then. Nowadays I simply add a launchpad repos and do 'apt-get install' for vdr, xineliboutput etc. I probably get a lot of stuff I do not need, but it is very simple to install and maintain. /Johan -- Johan Andersson, j...@jna.pp.se ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr

Thanks for actually doing this - finally a broadcaster who at least admits *they* have a problem ;-) 'Your problem seems to relate to the error we have', was their statement. They had no due date for fixing it though. Maybe they would give this more priority if more people contacted them about this. Once replying to inquiries takes up a considerable amount of their time, they might consider doing something about it. Perhaps you should post here how to contact them, so other viewers of their channels could also bother them ;-) Klaus Johan Andersson skrev 2011-05-26 07:16: Klaus Schmidinger skrev 2011-05-26 00:41: If you can point me to an official standard document that defines 000 as a valid picture coding type... ;-) Just curious: since as you write TV4 works and TV6 doesn't, and both are apparently broadcast by the same provider, is there any chance you could contact that provider and ask why this difference exists?
