Apologies that this is a little off topic but I'm struggling to get info on this anywhere else, I've posted at VDR-portal with no responses so far.

Does anyone know if you can use VDR with a DVB-S card and a cam (something like a dragon cam?) with a paid for subscription card to receive SKY channels?

If this is possible any pointers to what hardware / software I'll need would be much appreciated.

Ta.

Has anyone gotten teletext to work yet?

I have downloaded vdr-plugin-osdteletext from here:
http://projects.vdr-developer.org/projects/show/plg-osdteletext
and installed it. I have also added -P osdteletext to the vdr binary and it is loaded.

But XBMC shows "page 100-00 not found".

@gerner: i guest it depends on the encryption system sky uses in NZ ? Provide more information at the vdr-portal and point out that you have a legal subscription - and they will help you !

maybe check out these links

@apanloco
osdteletext-plugin is not needed. the code is afaik allready in the newest version of the pvrclient included.

Thanks, that post is mine Smile (Alfiegerner == gerner).

I think I'm going to go with Sky+, too much soldering and faff required in the setup they suggest over there for my liking.

I got this working by applying the patch
Code:
XBMC/xbmc/pvrclients/vdr/patches/streamdev-cvs070709-teletext.patch
to the streamdev plugin under vdr:
Code:
.../vdr-1.7.7/PLUGINS/src/streamdev#patch -p1 < .../XBMC/xbmc/pvrclients/vdr/patches/streamdev-cvs070709-teletext.patch
before building VDR.
Seems that streamdev-server does not stream teletext out of the box - at least not for the version I use (vdr-plugin-streamdev-0.3.4+cvs20090509.1518).
Using that version of streamdev it seems it's not necessary to apply any other patches (to streamdev) - th relevant changes seem to have gone upstream already.

Good luck!

:O) Mikkle

Update: Said patch applies cleanly to the streamdev archive marked "XBMC" on http://streamdev.vdr-developer.org/
http://streamdev.vdr-developer.org/snapshots/vdr-streamdev-0.5.0-pre-20090706.tgz

Thank you so much, it works!

I have some problems with some text-lines are copied over multiple rows, but it is very much usable.

I was way off installing separate vdr teletext plugins ;-)

I got this up and running now and I'm well impressed!

Can anyone tell me how this set up deals with recording conflicts? If i'm recording two programs on my dual tuner it looks like i can then still switch channels for live tv viewing. Is this correct or am i missing something?


- gerner - 2009-08-10

Just noticed a problem with some recordings I left overnight.

I'm getting video and audio fine when I stream live tv. However recordings do not have any audio.

I am using mirak's VDR 1.7.7 from the repository.

Could this have something to to do with the audio used for NZ tv broadcasts which is LATM encapsulated AAC? I'm not sure why the streamed live tv would work fine and the recordings don't.

sudo ldconfig

First up thanks for a great guide!

I get stuck at the ./autogen.sh --with-external-ffmpeg --disable-dxr3 --enable-w32dll --with-w32-path=/usr/local/lib/win32 stage when compiling this xinelib package. I tried with the hg version and I got a a coouple of errors during the configure stage.

First up autopoint: states that there is no cvs program. I have installed as many things with cvs in that I can but to no avail. Secondly it exits with
configure: creating ./config.status
config.status: error: cannot find input file: Makefile.in
I have tried corpetit's solution but that does not work for me.

>>> SOLVED --> Was tired and forget to install the package cvs, installed the dev packages but not the actual one. Duh!

Got a problem with installing VDR now ...

dvbdevice.c: In constructor ‘cDvbDevice::cDvbDevice(int)’:
dvbdevice.c:538: error: ‘FE_CAN_2G_MODULATION’ was not declared in this scope
make: *** [dvbdevice.o] Error 1

SOLVED --> Commented out line in code. Which might cuase things to mess up.....

[24270] [input_vdr] exec_osd_command: Attempt to close non-existing OSD (0) !
[24270] [input_vdr] invalid parameter in control message OSDCMD

Anyone know why I get the above? It segfaults after those messages.

Any ideas?


Thanks!

Just want to say thanks to the guys providing pre-built packages for this, makes testing things out much easier Smile

The latest version I am using seems much more stable than the previous one I tried so it's encouraging that progress is still being made.

Did anyone ever come up with a Mediastream skin for the TV section ?
I think that Freezy may have been working on one at some point but can't find anything..

Mirak has pre-built packages available on launchpad, search this thread for his name.
