- Added a sleep in cDvbPlayer::Action() in case there is no data to send to the device, which avoids a busy loop on very fast machines (thanks to Martin Wache). - Modified the description of cDevice::Poll() to avoid misunderstandings. - Updated Croatian language texts (thanks to Drazen Dupor). - cDvbPlayer::Goto() now appends a Sequence End Code to get the image shown immediately with softdevices (thanks to Reinhard Nissl). - Reactivated cVideoRepacker in remux.c after some fixes (thanks to Reinhard Nissl). - Removed the fix for handling VPS timers, so that they only record if the event they are assigned to actually has the given VPS time. This has caused repeating VPS timers to stop recording prematurely. - Avoiding duplicate components in EPG events when reading epg.data or in the PUTE SVDRP command (thanks to Olaf Titz for reporting this one). - Added the command line options '--lirc', '--rcu' and '--no-kbd' to allow setting the remote control at runtime (based on a patch by Darren Salt). - Now checking whether timers or channels are currently being edited via the menu before making changes through SVDRP (thanks to Andreas Brugger for reporting a problem with this). - Files and directories are now created with rights according to the shell's umask settings (thanks to Andreas Brachold). - Fixed the cChannel copy constructor (thanks to Marcel Wiesweg for pointing out a problem with it). - Fixed an out-of-bounds memory access with audio language ids (thanks to Matthias Lenk for reporting, and Udo Richter for suggesting a fix). - Updated the Finnish OSD texts (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - Added missing storing of the MenuScrollPage parameter (thanks to Frank Krömmelbein). - Added cRemux::SetTimeouts() for better use of cRemux in a single thread (thanks to Udo Richter for reporting a problem with this). - Modified cEITScanner::Process() so that it uses the primary device if it is replaying and is the only device that provides the given transponder, and that a forced EPG scan works even if EPG scan timeout is set to 0 (thanks to Bernhard Stegmaier for reporting a problem with this). - Fixed cDvbSpuBitmap::putPixel() (thanks to Reinhard Nissl). - Fixed setting system time to avoid time jumps in case of faulty data (thanks to Andreas Böttger). - Fixed a memory leak in the SVDRP command LSTE (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt).

.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 \-a\ cmd ,\ \-\-audio= cmd
|
|
Send Dolby Digital audio to stdin of command \fIcmd\fR.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BI \-c\ dir ,\ \-\-config= dir
|
|
Read config files from directory \fIdir\fR
|
|
(default is to read them from the video directory).
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-d, \-\-daemon
|
|
Run in daemon mode (implies \-\-no\-kbd).
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BI \-D\ num ,\ \-\-device= num
|
|
Use only the given DVB device (\fInum\fR = 0, 1, 2...).
|
|
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
|
|
.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
|
|
.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).
