Re: [vdr] Request: E parameter in channels.conf for epg scan

2010-12-06 Thread Hanno Zulla
Hi,

 I don't see the advantage of implementing this directly into the VDR.

I do and would love to see this feature.

My cable TV provider offers several regional variations of the same TV
channel (*). They will show the same shows most of the time and differ
only for a regional broadcast once or twice a day.

Using epgsearch, I will get the same movie several times on these
channels, with WDR being the worst example.

However, I do not want to remove the variations from my channel list,
since there are (rare) occasions when I do want to record a regional
broadcast.

Hi,

 Read:
 http://www.vdr-portal.de/board/archive/75121/thread.html where the guy
 complains about not having the wakeup file

That thread is two years old.

 or please post your own
 script (or the link) especially the part that writes the
 
 WAKEUP_FILE=/var/cache/vdr/acpiwakeup.time.

This is done in /usr/share/vdr/shutdown-hooks/S90.acpiwakeup, which is
called by vdr upon exiting.

 Readding the scripts I do not know what part of the software is going to 
 write 
 /var/cache/vdr/acpiwakeup.time and also I shall manually set wake up time in 
 the config file.
 
 What I would like is using the stored planned recording information to 
 automatically deduce the next wakeup time.

Please read the section automatic shutdown from vdr's source here:

http://git.gekrumbel.de/vdr.git?p=vdr.git;a=blob_plain;f=INSTALL;hb=HEAD

This will explain how Tobi's script learns the parameters.

[vdr] How to debug skips async with vdr?

2008-12-10 Thread Hanno Zulla
Hi,

since upgrading to the most recent Ubuntu release 8.10 (Intrepid), my FF
card is having problems. It is async with audio, both for some live TV
channels and some recordings. It is also skipping while watching live
TV. (This is not a full diagnosis, but the skipping appears to be
limited to encrypted channels.) [1]

vdr didn't show this behaviour with the previous setup (based on Hardy
with default Ubuntu kernel).

However, the logs show nothing. Nothing at all.

So how can I debug this if the system thinks that everything is fine?

Thanks,

Hanno



Here's the setup:

Athlon X2 CPU

vdr 1.6.0-2 e-tobi binary for Ubuntu [2]
(e-tobi version number: 1.6.0-8)

Budget DVB-C card used as input,
with CAM and Kabel Deutschland smartcard,
using the driver that comes with Ubuntu's default 2.6.27 kernel

FF DVB-C card without CAM, used as input and output,
using the ttpci driver that comes with Ubuntu's default 2.6.27 kernel
plus the modified firmware from [3]

Re: [vdr] VDR with S2API (update)

2008-12-09 Thread Hanno Zulla
Hi,

 I'm pretty sure there are quite a few systems out there using
 FF DVB cards. I wonder why you are constantly arguing against
 them ;-)

I own an FF card for two reasons only: It offers better video quality on
a CRT TV and vdr (1.6) prefers it.

There are a few things to dislike about FF cards these days. To mention
just a few:

- expensive
- big! (a smaller vdr box would be nice)
- problems with QAM 256
- bandwidth problems (see Full TS Mod)


Not too long from now, I want to replace the CRT TV and with it, one of
my two reasons to use a FF card will be gone.

So yeah, it'd be nice to see vdr moving away from FF cards or
specialized hardware such as the eHD.

A generic (modern) graphics card should be enough and it should be
easier to setup for vdr.

Thanks,

Hanno

Re: [vdr] TV channel logo collection - logo requests and illustrator/freehand help

2008-07-02 Thread Hanno Zulla
Hi,

 That 'non-commercial' restriction pretty much prevents plugins with
 such logos to be included in Linux distributions though. At least it
 makes the package non-free.

That's fine by me.

A non-free collection with permission by the logo owners would be a
major improvement over the current logo collection, which isn't just
outdated, but also utterly illegal by any standard.

However, I experience the drag of discussing this with logo owners right
now. The ZDF just declined and the BR (which is a reference client of
xeatre.tv, to boot!) is also a tough one so far.

And if my collection turns out to be complete, I'll be co-responsible
when someone abuses it. Oh, don't we all love legal matters?

Re: [vdr] Anyone having contacts to ZDF? (Re: TV channel logo collection)

2008-07-02 Thread Hanno Zulla
Hi,

 I applaud the effort, and IANAL, but with all due respect, are you certain 
 that the license agreement draft says what you intend?

Yes.

 For example, the non-commercial word is problematic.  GPL _allows_ 
 commercial distribution, and removing that possiblity makes your license 
 incompatible with the GPL (which I'm sure you know is VDR's and practically 
 all its plugins' license).
 http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#NoMilitary

I do not intend to have this collection distributed commercially by
third parties and I do not intend to reach GPL compatibility with the
first batch of logos.

Making it available for non-free download is fine by me and better than
the current, illegal logo collection many of us use.


Anyone wishing to sell software or hardware products using these logos,
GPL-ed or not, should ask the logo owners for permission for their
respective project. That's not different to the legal situation we
already have.

Asking the logo owners upfront to give carte blanche for commercial
distribution of their logos is far too much to ask for. These people are
already weary to permit having their logo displayed in software for
personal use, believe me.

We may ask for more permissions later, though. I have no problem doing
the same round of requests in a year or two, when the collection is
complete and when I can show logo owners that it has been a benefit to
the community.

Hanno

[vdr] TV channel logo collection - logo requests and illustrator/freehand help

2008-06-26 Thread Hanno Zulla
Hi,

the TV channel logo graphics collection installed on my vdr has about
650 logos, many of them out of date, some of them in bad shape.

So it might be a good idea to update the collection.

Asking my lawyer confirmed that distributing TV channel logo graphics
for open source software is problematic: You shouldn't do this unless
you have written permission by the logos' owners.

Much to my surprise, /if/ you ask them and explain the specific purpose,
the logo owners /do/ grant permission to distribute their logo graphics
for use in non-commercial open-source software.

So far, noone turned down the request and I have collected a critical
mass of logos within a few days:

http://www.linuxtv.org/vdrwiki/index.php/Logo_Collection

I will continue to ask those German TV and radio stations in my
channel.conf, but help for other countries would be welcome.

Please contact me before you ask your local stations, so that they don't
get asked twice. (Oh, and don't bother asking pay TV stations that do
not permit pvr use such as German Premiere.)


The strategy is to ask for vector graphics logos and for permission to
use them in OSD and EPG non-commercial open-source applications. This
will make the collection versatile enough to be used beyond vdr, e.g for
mythtv etc.

However, vector graphics files means Illustrator, Freehand or EPS. What
I need is SVG. For many of the files of the collection, Inkscape or
pstoedit fail to open them.

It'd be nice if a user of illustrator or freehand could help. It
shouldn't be more work than simple conversion of files to .svg or to
clean .eps every now and then, so that I can edit those files in
Inkscape later.

(Yes, I know that there are SVG logo files on Wikipedia. However, those
logos were drawn and contributed by users and some of them are not true
to the original logo.)

Thanks,

Hanno

Re: [vdr] The issue of orphaned plugins, addons and patches (Re: pvr-input)

2008-06-23 Thread Hanno Zulla
Hi,

 1) too many vdr-related projects dying or being orphaned when the
original author looses interest
 
 In most cases, its probably not just loosing interest, but running out 
 of time. Handling a job, a family and a time-consuming hobby all at once 
 is nearly impossible...

Yes, but what should happen to those projects?

The lcdproc plugin has been orphaned by its original author, but another
author has published several patched and greatly improved versions. Yet
he doesn't consider himself the new maintainer. So is it abandoned?

The analogtv plugin is abandoned, yet it's part of some vdr
distributions. Their packagers keep patching it so that it works with
vdr 1.6.x. Should it be dropped?

 3) too many different locations to find sources and patches
 
 For short term patches, if a new VDR version breaks something, forums 
 are a good source for patches.

Counterexample: PDAExport is a project that the developer distributes on
the German vdr-portal.de forum. There is no homepage and contact address
- the readme contains his forum nickname.

 For more long term patches, the wikis are 
 a good place to look, and they're easy to maintain by everyone. So if 
 you find some useful patch, don't hesitate to add a link to the wiki.

Which Wiki? There are several, and the German vdr-wiki.de seems to be
more up to date than the English linuxtv.org/vdrwiki

http://www.vdr-wiki.de/wiki/index.php/Plugins
http://www.linuxtv.org/vdrwiki/index.php/Plugins

So far, there seem to be too many locations to send patches to.

Hi everyone,

Simon Baxter schrieb:
 Good searching!!

No, I just checked vdr-wiki.de, they have an extensive (but German) list
of plugins plus patches and current maintainers.

http://www.vdr-wiki.de/wiki/index.php/Plugins


Which leads to a related topic.

It appears that several plugins and addons are orphaned, despite having
 a lot of users and despite developers still releasing patches.

What to do about these packages?

There is a lot of work right now for package distributors, each of them
maintaining a different set of patches for their respective distribution
(analogtv is an example).

For some projects, there are patches flying around in this mailing list,
on vdr-wiki.de or even in obscure discussion threads on vdr-portal.de.

Some patches are published by new developers on their homepages (the
pvr-input and lcdproc plugins are examples for this), but if you ask
these developers if they want to declare themselves the new maintainer
of the plugin/addon, they thankfully decline.

So it appears that we have a problem with

1) too many vdr-related projects dying or being orphaned when the
   original author looses interest

2) noone daring to pickup the ball when the original author looses
   interest

and

3) too many different locations to find sources and patches


What can be done about this?


(If this has been discussed before, please let me know where to find it
in the archive. Didn't find old discussions about this after a very

My setup (running on Ubuntu) shows broken Umlauts in the cam menu.

Regards,

Hanno

Re: [vdr] Running vdr with a tunerless FF card (possibly a patch request)

2008-05-13 Thread Hanno Zulla
Hi,

 I would like this feature added too.

There is a feature called TurnOffPrimary that's part of the extensions
patch.

http://www.vdr-wiki.de/wiki/index.php/Extensions-Patch

I cannot say if the patch is written in a style that Klaus likes or if
it needs to be rewritten, but it would be nice to see this particular
option become part of the vanilla vdr.

It would also be nice to know if it's possible to turn off the card's
tuner to avoid this problem here:

Thanks,

Hi,

 How can I achieve that with vanilla vdr?

Any suggestion or pointers to documents would be most helpful. I tried
to find a solution in the usual places (vdr-portal, vdr-wiki) but with
very limited success.

Thanks,

Hanno

Hi,

 In cDvbDevice::ProvidesSource(int Source) you could insert at the beginning
 
if (CardIndex() == MyTunerlessFFcardsIndex)
   return false;
 
 where MyTunerlessFFcardsIndex would be the index of cour card.

Thanks! Are there any plans to make this configurable for end-users
(like it's done in the extensions-patch)? I'd welcome if you added that.

Regards,

Hanno

[vdr] Running vdr with a tunerless FF card (possibly a patch request)

2008-05-05 Thread Hanno Zulla
Hi,

here's my setup:

- one old FF DVB-C card
- one new DVB-C Buget card with a CAM
- another new DVB-C Budget card (but without a CAM)

The FF card is too slow the handle the incoming data rates of some
channels. I know about [1], but don't want to break my old card with my
limited soldering skills.


So I want to use the FF card as output, only.

I also want to bind encrypted channels to the CAM-card.

I want the system to use both cards for non-encrypted channels.

How can I achieve that with vanilla vdr?


(Right now, I use a patch [2] that contains the ability to turn off the
FF tuner [3]. It works, but it's not an elegant solution.)


Thanks,

Hanno

[vdr] CAM menu umlauts broken?

2008-05-05 Thread Hanno Zulla
Hi,

on my e-tobi based 1.6 setup, the CAM menu umlauts are broken, while all
the other menu items (that I checked so far) use the correct encoding.

Is there a recoding missing between the CAM and the vdr OSD?

Thanks,

Hanno
