- The SVDRP command LSTT now accepts the new option 'id' to have the channels of the timers listed with their unique channel ids instead of their numbers (suggested by Matthias Schniedermeyer). - Added a missing #include <linux/unistd.h> to thread.c (thanks to Ville Skyttä). - Fixed the "plugins-clean" and "plugins-install" targets in the Makefile (thanks to Andreas Brachold). - Fixed handling "more than 3 byte" key sequences in cKbdRemote::ReadKeySequence() (thanks to Peter Bieringer). If you are using the PC keyboard as remote control input you may need to make VDR newly learn the keys by removing the remote.conf file. - To avoid problems with access rights when VDR shall run as 'root' it now skips all SetCaps() and SetUser() calls when it is started as 'root' and "-u root" is given. - Added missing i18n entry for the "Timer" button (thanks to Ville Skyttä) - Updated the Finnish OSD texts (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - Making the "Menu" key behave consistently has not been well received by several users, so the new option "Setup/OSD/Menu button closes" can be used to get the old behavior back (which also is the default value of this option). - Dropped the default vdr user. The program now always runs under the user id it was started from, unless the '-u' option is given and it was started from the 'root' user. If you want to have a default vdr user, you can activate and adjust the "VDR_USER = vdr" line in your Make.config file (from the original patch by Ludwig Nussel). - Key macros can now be defined for all non-modeless keys (suggested by Mirko Dölle). - Adjusted the "KEY MACROS" section of vdr.5 to the new plugin calling mechanism introduced in version 1.3.32. - Removed the now obsolete "ca.conf" section from vdr.1 (thanks to Ville Skyttä). - Added missing description of L and R circular polarization to 'diseqc.conf'. - Added a note about "modprobe capability" to INSTALL (suggested by Patrick Cernko). - Fixed canonicalizing the file name in the SVDRP command GRAB to allow full path names (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt). - Added a missing '-' to the example for viewing a grabbed image on a remote host (reported by Philippe Gramoullé). - Made the "What's on now/next?" menus a lot faster by storing a pointer to each channel's schedule in the cChannel data. - Made the log messages regarding lost lock of devices "info" instead of "error" (suggested by Andreas Brachold). - The SVDRP command GRAB allows file names without extension again (suggested by Stefan Huelswitt). - Pressing '0' in the "Schedule" menu now rotates through displaying "This event on this channel", "This event on all channels" and "All events on all channels". This can be used to find reruns of a given show, or the episodes of a series. Note that if there are many channels in your channels.conf, displaying the "All events on all channels" page may take a while. - The status markers in the "Schedule" menu are now only updated if a submenu is closed in which a timer has been modified, which speeds up closing submenus. - Now only writing Dolby Digital tracks into the 'info.vdr' file of a recording if Setup.UseDolbyDigital is true (suggested by André Weidemann). - Added a leading '0' to the day in the DayDateTime() function (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - No longer displaying color buttons in the recording info menu if it has been invoked from a player (reported by Jürgen Schilling).

.TH vdr 1 "08 Jan 2006" "1.3.38" "Video Disk Recorder"
|
|
.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, but in order
|
|
to watch one broadcast while recording another, or to start watching
|
|
a recorded programme before the live broadcast has ended (\fBtime shifting\fR),
|
|
two 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.
|
|
.SH OPTIONS

|
.TP
|
|
.BI \-c\ dir ,\ \-\-config= dir
|

|
|
(default is to read them from the video directory).
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-d, \-\-daemon
|

|
|
.TP
|
|
.BI \-D\ num ,\ \-\-device= num
|

|
|
There may be several \fB\-D\fR options (by default all DVB devices will be used).
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BI \-E\ file ,\ \-\-epgfile= file
|
|
Write the EPG data into the given \fIfile\fR
|
|
(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
|
|
Set logging to \fIlevel\fR.
|
|
\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.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.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 \-\-rcu[= path ]

.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 \-v\ dir ,\ \-\-video= dir
|
|
Use \fIdir\fR as video directory.

.TP
|
|
.BI \-w\ sec ,\ \-\-watchdog= sec
