VDR not working on a MD

[Zaerc]

@Rafik:
your are right with your hot-hack to get that working on a md.
but you will get always the same pic and osd on md and hybrid with that method, because it uses piping or broadcast-stream of the hybrid.

thats not the concept behind a server-client version having the same screens at the same time.
it's not that easy to get all vdr-standard features, extended with plugins and of course lmce-specific dce-functions under one hood....

believe me - i did the whole vdr integration till now and we are still working on a real server-client lmce version

It's a hell of a start, really nice work!  If there is something I could do to help then please let me know.

I finally got DVB-T going thanks to a boosted antenna and the VDR integration, kaffeine works as well for me now, but eventhough MythTV managed to scan the channels it still couldn't get a signal...    Another nice thing was that VDR works on the ATI X1250 chipset which MythTV doesn't like at all (except that now after a few days the channel-interface has gone black on that MD for some reason).  Still not entirely sure how the interface works but it's very nicely integrated and I have managed to make a few automatic recordings already.

Thanks.

PS. try adding $* behind "dcerouter" in rafik24's hack, looks almost for real now

PS. try adding $* behind "dcerouter" in rafik24's hack, looks almost for real now

so,

plutovdr dcerouter $*

?

What does this achieve?

Thanks,

Chris

No, in the alternative wrapper, so that it becomes:

Code Select Expand


#!/bin/sh
plutovdr.orig dcerouter $* 2>/dev/null 1>/dev/null


It passes all the original arguments on, so that "plutovdr.orig dcerouter" gets called with whatever arguments the alternative "plutovdr" wrapper was called.

Ah, ok. My bash scripting skills are a little rusty!

What does it actually achieve though in terms of the user experience? Seems ok without? (well, apart from being unable to change channel from an MD!)

Tried this solution to watch TV on MD. Works fine but you cannot control it. Even switch off. Maybe I ask stupid question but why streamdev plugin cannot be used on MD?
