Re: [vdr] [ANNOUNCE] New VDR plugin: epgfixer

This is what xineliboutput does when viewing a radio channel. It's called the goom plugin.

Re: [vdr] iptv plugin+CAM support

This plugin does not see the availability of encryption, and can not work with CAM. Any plan about integrate CAM support in iptv? Any suggestions? Hi. Support for CAM seems to be nowadays one of the top requested features for the iptv plugin. I guess that encrypted streams are becoming more popular in the iptv world altogether. It turns out that implementing CAM support to iptv is quite tricky. One option would be to implement support for external CAM module such as the Hauppauge WinTV-CI USB. These devices seem to be unsupported in linux so a driver would have to be written first. I've also thought about using the CAM of an existing DVB card to do the decryption of iptv streams, but to the best of my current knowledge it is impossible to use a CAM of a certain device to decrypt streams that are not received by the same device.

Re: [vdr] Vdr-xine OSD question
2008/7/11 Todd Luliak [EMAIL PROTECTED]: I am running vdr + vdr-xine plugin + coreavc + xine being output at 1080i to an HDTV as the only display. Is there a simple way to lock the OSD to the resolution of the output device such that the OSD is not rescaled when switching between SD and HD sources? I played with X-overlay, but that was not what I was after. If not, could it be done in the source somewhere or is the OSD anti-aliased and overlayed on the video before being sent to the output device (xine, in my case)? I've looked around quite a bit on the net but I guess my google-foo is failing me on this one. I just miss the rock-solid OSD of the FF card setup... Thanks! In an effort to create something to solve such issues with xineliboutput plugin I came up with an idea of this HUD type OSD. Basically it means that OSD is rendered to a separate transparent surface on top of video and then these are blended together by the display hardware. This way the size of the OSD is bound to the size of the used window rather than the size of the video stream. In other words no OSD scaling will be necessary even though the video size changes. The HUD implementation has been integrated into the CVS of xineliboutput plugin. To operate it requires support for xorg render extension and presence of composite display manager such as xcompmgr. It also requires powerful display adapter and drivers with support for these modern extensions. Maybe you can try it to see if it produces results that you are hoping for?

[vdr] [ANNOUNCE] vdr-iptv-0.0.7
Hi all. We are pleased to announce a new release of vdr-iptv plugin. Iptv plugin is an attempt to add various IPTV reception capabilities to VDR. This version incorporates support for VDR version 1.5.15. Another new feature is configurable scanning of PIDs for streams where the full section information is not available. This version eliminates global sid scanning configuration option and instead provides per-channel settings for toggling sid and pid scanning. These settings are accessible from iptv plugin channel editor and are stored to channels.conf accordingly. For a sample of the new channels.conf format as well as full changelog and plugin download please see plugin homepage: http://www.saunalahti.fi/~rahrenbe/vdr/iptv/ Note: After new stable VDR version (1.6.0) is available support for VDR versions below 1.5.xx is likely to be dropped from future iptv plugin releases. -- Antti Seppälä ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr

Try lowering the value of ABITRATE found in iptvstream.sh from 320 to

Hi,
this does not seem to help.
I have three test channels now, all of which give the video:
- The Albanian Rrokum TV - which gives also audio.
- Bahn TV - only video. Even with ab=192
- BBC One premier (via http://www.global-itv.com/). Only video
My xine has w32 (from xine's output:
load_plugins: plugin
/usr/local/lib/xine/plugins/1.1.9/xineplug_decode_w32dll.so found
)
Since you have at least one channel which works it leads me to believe
that iptv plugin is working and the problem could still be in the
transcoding or playback process.
Here's how you can try to investigate a bit more:
Set up a vlc for transcoding in a similar fashion as to how iptv plugin
uses it. For example the following command will do just that for Bahn TV:
vlc
mms://atkon-atkbtvolive-wmv-high.wm.llnwd.net/atkon_atkbtvolive_wmv_high
--sout
#transcode{vcodec=mp2v,acodec=mpga,vb=2400,ab=192}:standard{access=udp,mux=ts{pid-video=1,pid-audio=2,tsid=3},dst=127.0.0.1:4321}
--intf dummy
Now open another instance of vlc to play back the transcoded stream:
vlc udp://@:4321
If the stream works perfectly, you can close the playback vlc and try to
play with xine:
xine udp://127.0.0.1:4321
Notice how my examples hardcode the udp port to 4321. If you want to
change it, remember to do so to every command.
If there's no audio on either of the players you are likely to have
something wrong with your vlc installation. If vlc works but xine
doesn't then xine cannot for some reason decode the audio stream.
The script sets VPID=parameter+1, APID=parameter+2, SPID=parameter+3
(I wonder why, since if you want to receive simultaneously two
consecutive parameter things, they overlap anyway).
We try to use pids to make the channels separable from each other.
Overlapping should not be a problem because multiple streams are sent to
different udp ports (and different iptv devices as well). You can of
course modify the script and use different pids if you like.
When looking at the stream info, they show PIDs like 3,4,66. 4,5,66.
I wonder what this 66 is and why...
I think it is the default PMT pid of vlc.

Our README says that The external script is responsible for supplying
IPTV plugin with MPEG2 TS data in UDP/RTP format to the listening port.
So the external script must use VLC to:
1) Receive the stream
2) Transcode it to format understood by vdr (for example mpeg2 ts)
3) Feed the data to the port which iptv plugin is listening
To achieve these tasks you could use for example this script:
#!/bin/sh
exec vlc mms://livemedia.omroep.nl/vprohollanddoc-bb --sout
#transcode{vcodec=mp2v,acodec=mpga,vb=2400,ab=320}:standard{access=udp,mux=ts{pid-video=1,pid-audio=2,pid-spu=3},dst=127.0.0.1:4321}
--intf dummy
Store it to iptv plugin configuration directory with name vlcstream.sh
and give it execute permissions.
Here's the corresponding channels.conf entry:
VLC-channel;IPTV:1:IPTV|EXT|vlcstream.sh|1:P:0:1:2:0:0:1:0:0:0
Hope this helps. =)

Have you experienced different behavior? Of course if recording then VDR will keep the stream opened and iptv plugin has to launch another instance of VLC to keep receiving two streams at the same time.

Hello Rolf Ahrenberg and myself are pleased to announce the first release of joint effort plugin which turns VDR into a full-blown IPTV receiver. IPTV plugin implements an additional VDR device which provides all the functionalities of DVB cards such as live viewing, recording, epg etc. The plugin is capable of receiving MPEG transport streams via various network protocols, such as UDP/RTP multicast and HTTP. Also file input is supported. The plugin is tested with streamdev-server, VLC and IPTV stream provided by a local internet service provider. Minimum required VDR version is 1.5.10. The plugin also includes a patch to VDR core to allow plugin specific channels to be added to channels.conf. The patch is designed to be as generic as possible to be beneficial for other projects as well, for example analog and pvrinput plugins.
