- Fixed the Makefile of the 'servicedemo' plugin, so that it defines the PLUGIN macro, which allows the Make.config file to react properly when compiling the plugin (reported by Bernd Melcher). Note to all plugin developers: a plugin's Makefile *must* define the PLUGIN macro, even if it doesn't use it itself! - Added a comment regarding the PLUGIN macro to the 'newplugin' script. - Added '--vfat' to the vdr.1 man page (reported by Udo Richter). - Removed a double fdopen() in cPipe::Open() (reported by Stefan Huelswitt). - Fixed handling the running status of EPG events before the currently running one, in case they are added after the current event. - cEIT::cEIT() now calls pSchedule->SetPresentSeen() even if OnlyRunningStatus is true. - Newlines in title and short text of an EPG event are now changed into blanks only after all other fixes, because a short text might become a description. - Fixed handling network masks in the svdrphosts.conf file (thanks to Patrick Maier). - Fixed handling relative volume settings in the call to cStatus::MsgSetVolume() (reported by Norbert Wentz). - Added a missing initialization of 'mutex' in cCiMenu::cCiMenu() and removed some superfluous semicolons in ci.c (thanks to Marco Schlüßler). - Fixed handling client side termination of SVDRP connections (thanks to Frank Schmirler). - cDevice::GetDevice() now prefers any device that's already receiving and doesn't require detatching receivers (suggested by Anssi Hannula). - Fixed handling numeric keys in the channel display after switching channel groups (thanks to Andreas Regel). - Menu items derived from cMenuEditIntItem now loop though their values if they have a dedicated minimum or maximum limit (suggested by Andy Grobb). Looping is only done for normal keypresses, not for repeated ones. This allows the user to scroll the value all the way to the limit by keeping the key pressed.

|
|
.SH NAME
|
|
vdr - the Video Disk Recorder
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
.B vdr
|
|
[options]
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.B vdr
|
|
implements a complete digital Set-Top Box and Video Recorder.
|
|
It can work with signals received from satellites (DVB-S) as
|
|
well as cable (DVB-C) and terrestrial (DVB-T) signals.
|
|
|
|
At least one DVB card is required to run \fBvdr\fR. With it you can watch
|
|
live tv while recording one or more other broadcasts from the same transponder.
|
|
It is also possible to start watching a recorded programme before the live
|
|
broadcast has ended (\fBtime shifting\fR). In order to record from different
|
|
transponders simultaneously two or more DVB cards are necessary.
|
|
By default \fBvdr\fR can support up to four
|
|
DVB cards. The primary DVB card (the one your tv set is connected to) has
|
|
to be a "full featured" card, which means it must contain an MPEG decoder
|
|
and provide audio and video signal outputs.
|
|
|
|
\fBvdr\fR uses the On Screen Display of the DVB card to display its menus.
|
|
It can be controlled by the PC keyboard, a home built "Remote Control Unit"
|
|
(RCU) or the "Linux Infrared Remote Control" (LIRC).
|
|
|
|
Remote access is possible via the "Simple Video Disk Recorder Protocol" (SVDRP),
|
|
which can be accessed on port 2001, for instance by \fBtelnet\fR.
|
|

|
|
There may be several \fB\-D\fR options (by default all DVB devices will be used).
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BI \-E\ file ,\ \-\-epgfile= file
|
|

|
|
(default is \fI/video/epg.data\fR).
|
|
Use \fB\-E\-\fR to disable this.
|

If \fIfile\fR is a directory, the file \fIepg.data\fR
|
|
will be created in that directory.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BI \-g,\ \-\-grab= dir
|
|
Write images from the SVDRP command GRAB into the
|
|
given directory \fIdir\fR. \fIdir\fR must be the full path name of an
|
|
existing directory, without any "..", double '/'
|
|
or symlinks. By default, or if \fB\-g\-\fR is given,
|
|
grabbing images to disk is disabled.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-h, \-\-help
|
|
Print a help message and exit.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BI \-l\ level ,\ \-\-log= level
|
|

|
|
\fB0\fR\ =\ no logging, \fB1\fR\ =\ errors only,
|
|
\fB2\fR\ =\ errors and info, \fB3\fR\ =\ errors, info and debug.
|
|
The default logging level is \fB3\fR.
|
|
If logging should be done to LOG_LOCALn instead of
|
|
LOG_USER, add '.n' to LEVEL, as in 3.7 (n=0..7).
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BI \-L\ dir ,\ \-\-lib= dir
|
|
Search for plugins in directory \fIdir\fR (default is ./PLUGINS/lib).
|
|
There can be several \fB\-L\fR options with different \fIdir\fR values.
|
|
Each of them will apply to the \fB\-P\fR options following it.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BI \-\-lirc[= path ]
|
|
Use a LIRC remote control device.
|
|
If \fIpath\fR is omitted, vdr uses \fI/dev/lircd\fR.

|
.B \-m, \-\-mute
|
|
Mute audio of the primary DVB device at startup.
|

Don't use the keyboard as an input device.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BI \-p\ port ,\ \-\-port= port
|
|
Use \fIport\fR for SVDRP. A value of \fB0\fR turns off SVDRP.
|
|
The default SVDRP port is \fB2001\fR.
|
|
You need to edit the file \fIsvdrphosts.conf\fR in order to enable
|
|
access to the SVDRP port.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BI \-P\ options ,\ \-\-plugin= options
|
|
Load a plugin, defined by the given \fIoptions\fR.
|
|
The first word in \fIoptions\fR must be the name of an existing \fBvdr\fR
|
|
plugin, optionally followed by a blank separated list of command line options
|
|
for that plugin. If \fIoptions\fR contains any blanks, you need to enclose it
|
|
in quotes, like for example
|
|
|
|
\fBvdr \-P "abc \-a \-b xyz"\fR
|
|
|
|
which would load a plugin named \fBabc\fR, giving it the command line options
|
|
\fB\-a\ \-b\ xyz\fR. If you want to load all available plugins (without any
|
|
particular options) you can use
|
|
|
|
\fBvdr \-P "*"\fR
|
|
|
|
(note the quotes around the asterisk to prevent wildcard expansion).
|
|
.TP
|
|

|
|
.BI \-u\ user ,\ \-\-user= user

|
Run as user \fIuser\fR in case vdr was started as user 'root'.
|
|
Starting vdr as 'root' is necessary if the system time shall
|
|
be set from the transponder data, but for security reasons
|
|
vdr can switch to a lesser privileged user id during normal
|
|
operation.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BI \-\-vfat
|
|
Encode special characters in recording names to avoid problems
|
|
with VFAT file systems.
