Don't think so, it's Gentoo.

I just installed the gentoo version and it does the same thing.

Without the -D devtable it works.. Wierd.

Am just about to NFS the build dir over to my laptop and try with that.

Looks like genext2fs is broke:

The up / down arrows are different.

I have two old style remotes and one new one.

The old one doesn't have a whole load of buttons, and the red / green / blue / yellow are in different places and more logical to use for different features.

The old remote can be seen here:

http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/21A25VJW4ML._AA160_.jpg

The new one

http://www.hauppauge.com/Pages/press/presspictures/HVR-1300_retail_board+remote.jpg

Sorry I couldn't find a bigger image of the first remote.

Anyone have any idea about the above?

I dunno how to compile the dongle?

Unfortunetly, the old remote doesn't have the function buttons.  I suppose we could have new and old remote functionality, but we can't remove features from the old remote type.

Again, I don't mind which button is which, having a live TV record button makes sense, although we have a record button, so let's use that.  Once into Live TV mode, would it be possible to auto switch to watching the recording, then you could pause live TV.  I suppose the pause button would do the same thing, but then auto pause it too.

Red in the UK is associated with extra features, although Green is in Italy for the same reasons.

Chris,  I fixed the problem above, and now vompclient builds, but I can't package it together, if I try and build the dongle I get

I'll have a stab at Italian.  I'm English but living here so it would probably need to be looked over, but it can't be any worse that most DVB playback devices. :-)

I get the same thing:

I tried moving everything over as vompold and downloading the original script and am getting the same thing.

I was sitting in the kitchen thinking through a few things that would make life slightly easier on my vomp thingy.  I don't know how realistic these could be, but I wondered if they could be considered and I thought someone might also agree.  Firstly though..  Thank you, thank you, thank you for audio support.  It has made my life so much better as I can leave VDR to auto update.

1. To have bouquets. 

I have things like:

:->sky ita - general
:->uk tv

Scattered throughout my channels.conf which I can skip to using a right arrow in VDR itself.

I use skip fwd and skip bkwd to go up and down a page already, but another couple of keys to skip to the next marker (which could be visable in the channel list) would be really cool. Also would be good in the epg page.

Maybe even:

1. Watch TV.
    Second option (List of Bouquets):
      1. sky ita
      2. uk tv
      3. etc
             Third Option
                    1 Rai 1
                    2 Rai 2
                    3 etc
             or
                    1 BBC 1
                    2 BBC 2
                    3 ITV

             or even
                     123 BBC 1
                     124 BBC 2

              If we can't reorder channel numbers.

   I think this will really help when we have 1000's of channels.

2. To be able to scroll epg description if it's too big for the box.  (I use the Radio Times listings, and they can go on a bit.)

3. Quick screen resolution change.  (for changing between widescreen and not)
     There are three issues with a widescreen TV.
     1. 4:3 looks stretched.. An option for side black borders could be nice.
     2. widescreen broadcast by braindead European operators like Sky who put a black border top and bottom.  (A way to display full width but chop top and bottom)
     3. 16:9 looks good on 16:9 settings.
    (On a 4:3 tv the normal options are ok)
     4. Having an icon on the programme banner at the bottom saying the original source would be nice.  (ie, 16:9 or 4:3) - maybe a way to know which DVB card you're watching too, as the signal is better on one than the other on a couple of channels, but I never know which I am on.

4. Weather forcast?
    (Yeh I know it's fluff, but we used it a lot on the dreambox).

5. A way of editing the channels.conf file?

(I guess this would be a major project, but if we could have a fairly quick and easy Move, delete it would be good).

6. Childprotection Pin.  (To lock off all those channels you don't want your 10 year old finding, instead of hiding them up around channel 7000 and hoping they don't notice)  (Deleting them is not an option as VDR just adds them again and if they go up instead of down they get to the other end of the channel list). This could be found in a quick lookup file.  A way to add a channel to this list would be good too.

7. A way to execute commands on the server..
   (ie, just display and execute whatever is in commands.conf)

8. Button change for the audio language change.
   We're using green for both epg info (if we click ok first) and audio.  Why not have green for calling up epg info regardless of whether OK is pushed and yellow for audio change?

As always, thanks guys, this is really good and usable.  We're watching it in three rooms constantly.

Again, thanks for this.. Very cool.

rdoac: did you do make release instead of make? I have created a dongle for myself off the current cvs code and I didn't get that error. Your second problem I am hoping is as a result of your first.

Ooops, yes, it was the "make release" I needed.

Thanks Chris..

Does anyone know if this patch made it into CVS?

At first glance it all looks reasonable, however I have two problems:

1. When building, I am creating a vompclient application which is too big for the flash image (6996 instead of 4096), I edited the build script to accept anything under 8192 in hope it "would just work" tm. 

2. I have it running, but am getting an error in the background jpg display and have a black screen, which I can live with, but am not sure why?

However, the audio language switcher on live tv is working, so I am more than happy.
