Problem with VDR on Hybrid and MD
« on: May 05, 2010, 08:38:00 pm »
I have LMCE 8.10 Beta installed on Hybrid with one MD. On Hybrid I have installed DVB card SkyStar 2 (worked fine out of box, thanks Mandingo).
When I’m watching TV on MD in the same time on Hybrid I can watch only channels from the same transponder. I know about that.
But, the problem is when TV is off on MD it still locks DVB card and I’m not able to watch all channels on Hybrid, only from one transponder.
When I’m stopping VDR on MD (/etc/init.d/vdr stop) DVB card is unlocked and now I can watch all channels from all transponders on Hybrid without any problems.
But it’s very unusable to stop manually VDR on MD when I want to watch TV on Hybrid and start it again when I want to watch TV on MD.
Is it possible to remove starting VDR on MD by default when system starts and start VDR only when I press button “TV” on MD’s screen orbiter?
(And also stop VDR when I press button “Off” to stop watching TV)
Maybe it possible to make some correction of code for that buttons? (For example, add strings /etc/init.d/vdr start and stop where necessary)
Or maybe it’s possible to change some scenarios from web admin?

Thanks for any help

Your description sounds like the way VDR used to work. It the latest incarnation (well, already a couple of month old), VDR is using a different approach on the MD. vdr is started on the MD when you click on TV, and stopped when you exit the TV application.

Try apt-get upgrading your hybrid, recreate the diskless image (/usr/pluto/bin/Diskless_CreateTBZ.sh), and recreate the MD in question.

Good luck.
