VDR for LMCE0710 available with liveTV at your MDs

[niz23]

mami.

I shall try compiling ttxtsubs later again, but i need to patch vdr source too.

Niz23: Can you repack all vdr sources you have used in a file (tar.gz!), so shall i try to patch it for ttxtsubs and compile.

/Mami

There is a vdr-dev package in the tar.gz. Install that and you should be able to build plugins unless your plugin need to patch the original vdr sources.
Hopefully I have some time this weekend to try and build other plugins for vdr.

mami.

If your plugin have all needed file to build a deb from it you should only need to install vdr-dev.
there is one problem I have discovered with plugins. If you build your own plugin without dev. Just copy libs and stuff to the correct places.
You will end up with a plugin that will not start.
The reason is that there is a check on the plugin file against ubuntu deb database when vdr startup.
It seem to be possible to set a configuration flag to override this check, but I have not succeded with that yet.
The only way I have been able to make it work is by modifying the plugin loader script. Dont remember the name now since Im not in fornt of my core right now.

Procedure to install a vdr plugin (deb based):
install vdr-dev
Unpack your plugin source somewhere.
cd into to unpack-folder.
Run dpkg-buildpackage
Install the debs you get after compile.

That should do it.

A few tips.

Are you MS MCE remote?
For me ch+/- vol+/- do not work on MCE remote.

Regarding your problem MD. Check that your channels.conf is identical on all machines (including your MDs).
There is a file name streamdevhosts.conf. What´s in it? (you need to have your subnet from your lmce internal network in there or 0.0.0.0/0)

Hi niz, andrew,
many thanks for response,
@andrew,
all same entries as per your post,

@niz,
yes it's phillips rc6 remote.

 "Regarding your problem MD. Check that your channels.conf is identical on all machines (including your MDs)."


eerrrrmm   how exactly ?,i.e  file location for md ?   I assume  ssh  moonxx.....?
  (I did upload  thro , web admin > cnfig> vdr setup  on both hybrid and core,)

contents of /etc/vdr/plugins/streamdevhosts.conf




#
# streamdevhosts  This file describes a number of host addresses that
#                 are allowed to connect to the streamdev server running
#                 with the Video Disk Recorder (VDR) on this system.
# Syntax:
#
# IP-Address[/Netmask]
#

127.0.0.1             # always accept localhost
#192.168.100.0/24     # any host on the local net
#204.152.189.113      # a specific host
0.0.0.0/0            # any host on any net (USE THIS WITH CARE!)

Also,
?? was I right in enabling  streaming live tv and recordings  in vdradmin?


thanks,
Ian

Edit  btw I've renewed the batteries

This will be a short one.
Have to leave home soon. Driving my daughter to a party.

As I said all MDs need to have exactly the same channels.conf that you have on your core.

you can copy it to your md by ssh ing to your core.
Do, as root:
cp /var/lib/vdr/channels.conf /usr/pluto/diskless/<moon no>/var/lib/vdr/

Also on your MD.
Edit /var/lib/vdr/setup.conf (can also be done through VDR setup menu)
Add the following rows:
streamdev-client.RemoteIp = 192.168.80.1
streamdev-client.RemotePort = 2004
streamdev-client.StartClient = 1
streamdev-client.StreamFilters = 1
streamdev-client.SyncEPG = 1

If your core has any other IP than 192.168.80.1 change the line to the appropriate one.
RemoteIp = point ot where vdr on your md can fetch the livetv mpeg streams.

Reboot your md or restart vdr daemon.

niz23,

YOU ARE A STAR,
tv now working on md , thanks for the patience , and the work you and Andrew's team have put into this.
Any clues on the remote side of things?  (getting the channel list to display without the need for a keyboard would really make my system usable, )

many thanks,
Ian

Hmm... no in a word.

You could use a Windows ssh client to access your Hybrid/core or MD's though.

Hi all ,
 am still stuck with certain remote buttons inoperative (see above) ....

have changed from mce  transceiver to usbuirt with no effect , (does seem faster tho),
so if no one else is experiencing  this  I'm gonna have to conclude it's my remote that's borked, and spend a few more pennies, any insight/ response appreciated,

regards,
Ian

Edit   If I "learned" the remote, could  I then add it under a different name using the process here       //wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/  Add_support_for_new_remote_controls

in order to check it out?
