- Added cDevice::HasCi() so that devices with Common Interface can be avoided when tuning to an FTA channel, thus preserving the CAM resources even on budget DVB cards (suggested by Petri Helin). - Fixed i18n characters for the Hungarian texts (thanks to Thomas Günther). - Now using cPipe instead of popen() in cCommand::Execute() to avoid problems with open file handles when starting background commands (thanks to Reinhard Nissl). - Removed 'assert(0)' from cDvbSpuDecoder::setTime() (thanks to Marco Schlüßler). - Fixed a possible crash when loading an invalid XPM file (thanks to Martin Wache). - Updated satellite names in 'sources.conf' (thanks to Thilo Wunderlich). - Adapted 'libsi' to DVB-S2 (thanks to Marco Schlüßler). - Fixed handling error status in cDvbTuner::GetFrontendStatus() (thanks to Reinhard Nissl). - Shutdown handling has been rewritten (thanks to Udo Richter). - Plugins can now implement the new function WakeupTime() to request VDR to wake up at a particular time (thanks to Udo Richter). - The HUP signal now forces a restart of VDR (thanks to Udo Richter). - cThread::EmergencyExit() has been replaced by ShutdownHandler.RequestEmergencyExit(). - Several references to "button" in a remote control context have been changed to "key" (based on a report from Marko Mäkelä regarding the "Menu button closes" text). The "MenuButtonCloses" parameter in 'setup.conf' has therefore been renamed to "MenuKeyCloses", accordingly. This will result in an "unknown config parameter: MenuButtonCloses" error message in the log file, so you may want to remove that entry from your 'setup.conf' file. - Simplified the error handling in cDvbTuner::GetFrontendStatus() (based on a discussion with Reinhard Nissl). - Updated the Finnish OSD texts (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - Increased the maximum number of DVB devices to 8 (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - The new Setup parameter "Channel entry timeout" can be used to customize the time since the last keypress until a numerically entered channel number is considered complete, and the channel is switched (suggested by Helmut Auer). Setting this parameter to 0 turns off the automatic channel switching, and the user will have to confirm the entry by pressing the "Ok" key.

.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.
|
|

|
|
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.

\fB0\fR\ =\ no logging, \fB1\fR\ =\ errors only,
|
|

|
|
The default logging level is \fB3\fR.
|
|
If logging should be done to LOG_LOCAL\fIn\fR instead of
|
|
LOG_USER, add '.n' to LEVEL, as in 3.7 (n=0..7).
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BI \-L\ dir ,\ \-\-lib= dir
|

|
|
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
|
|
