Re: [vdr] start VDR without hardware for test and tutorial
Have you tried patching VDR so it doesn't abort if no dvb device is found? I'm not sure what side-effects, if any, there may be by doing so. Btw, I also found it annoying VDR wouldn't start without a dvb device. A long time ago I had a dvb card die but i had a lot of unwatched recordings so I figured I would just watch those until my new dvb card came in. Nope! Pretty lame when you run VDR on a dedicated box with no keyboard attached and no easy way to get that box to play your recordings. IMO VDR should start regardless. What good is there in denying the user access to his recordings and plugins? Obviously no dvb device means no live tv, but VDR does/can do a lot more than that. ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
Re: [vdr] [Announce] streamdev-0.6.1

I have tried using it over wifi as well as powerline. The recordings (SD and HD) play flawlessly over the network, however the streaming of live channels using streamdev results in regular buffering (SD and HD) and eventually the TV just gives up playing them. Is there any buffer options or other configurable settings within streamdev that might alleviate this problem? I can't seem to find much that would help. Maybe you suffer from some sort of network congestion. Currently there's no buffering option. Streamdev starts streaming as soon as possible. Try adding a short delay at the beginning of void cStreamdevWriter::Action(void) in file server/streamer.c, e.g. cCondWait::SleepMs(500); If his recordings stream fine and the problem is only with live tv, how could that possibly be network congestion? ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
Re: [vdr] start VDR without hardware for test and tutorial
Just use xine or xineliboutput as output plugin, then VDR starts without a DVB Device. What would be the usage of VDR without input and output device ?
