Is there a solution for automatic subtitles?
That same solution should be in Raspberry Pi and MVP.
It would be great to use preferred language & subtitle from server, even though someone could have situation that needs that to be client specific.

You should be able to switch the language to finish in the properties menu, if not the l10n folder is not in the right place at the server side.

Ok, I'll have to check this then.

This helped! Some text is in germany, but...

For the second problem, it depends a bit wether you are using CEC or not. If you are using cec it is likely that the switch off of the tv also turned the vompserver off. (switvhing the TV signal off).
Then you have to turn vomp on after the TV is powered on again (with the key of your remote control of the tv designed to turn on the selected cec device).

OK. Seems like RPi informs vompserver that it's off.

How come it doesn't inform that TV is on again? My TV is a cheap one (Logik) and it doesn't seem to have a separate key for attached cec equipment
Can I somehow make vompclient (or RPi) to learn one of my remotes keys to work as power -key or something?
Or can I somehow disable this functionality (turning off)?

Reboot helped after TV was on again.

I know this isn't vompserver problem, but how do I save settings in RPi MLD?
For some reason every boot changes localtime to point to Berlin, but I would like it to be Helsinki. Is there a way to save this setting or do I make the change in wrong place?

I use CEC. How come CEC could switch my vompserver off? Vompserver is on my VDR -machine (not on RPi). Seems more likely that CEC switches something off from RPi. I haven't tried if reboot of RPi would bring signal again. RPi is in my kitchen and WAF (Wife Acceptance Factor) suffers a lot when RPi needs to be disconnected from power and connected again to gain picture.

Hi,
Is it just me or does someone else suffer from following error:
1) When I turn on my TV and Raspberry Pi with vompclient on MLD, everything works flawlessly (well, except the ui is in english and I'm from Finland)
2) When I turn my TV off, it (the TV shuts down as it should)
3) When I turn my TV on, it turns on and gives me "No Signal" -message.

Raspberry Pi is on (I have ssh connection to it online), but I can't get vompserver (or RPi) to send picture to TV.

RPi: Linux MLD 3.6.11.158 #1 PREEMPT
       vompclient      2013.02.25_50

VDR: 1.7.33-1yavdr0~precise
Vompserver: 0.4.0-1

Is  there a patch for vompserver or how can I solve this?
I'm using vdr 1.7.33 and had to compile vompserver by myself (binary from repo crashed on start).
Vompserver is 0.3.1.3-11yavdr6
MVP works (it boots up, starts TV automatically and plays nicely open TV channel (and teletext etc)), but when I change channel or try to exit, the whole thing just freezes.
Sometimes (after looooooooong wait) MVP reports "Connection Lost" and I can reconnect, but the behaviour is the same.

How about Motorola vip1710 -devices?
There is vdr streamdev-client firmware for that, but how about vompclient?

Now that it seems that Hauppauge doesn't do those MediaMVP -boxes anymore, is there any replacement for the hardware?

Hi,

What will be the client to be used with "HDTV-Vomp"? 

- Samuli

When I was talking about this in finnish HTPC -forum (in IRC), there was this comment that VDR has cIconv -class that can be used to convert strings (with error checking).
I can't do coding with C so I don't know if that helps...

But anyway, I guess it would help quite a few people to have UTF support in vomp. Looking forward to be able to test it

- Samuli

Hi,

Is there plan to implement UTF-8 to vompserver (and/or dongle)?

I'm planning to make a new VDR and I'd like to use UTF-8 (as it is default with all current distributions AFAIK).
Is this possible or should I change default locale to ISO-8859-15?

- Samuli

Stupid question, but do you have the same version of dongle and server?

I have 0.3.1 of both in fedora5 and they are working well.

Hi,

Is there a way to "force" DVB (and maybe teletext) subtitles to certain language?

My kids use our MVP and it would be nice to have desired language as default.
They know how to change audio, but it would be nice to be able to make a default (as with VDR).
Setting could be done through config -file in server or with MVP itself.

Thanks for the great piece of software. It works like a charm!

[You guys are REALLY GREAT!]

\o/
GREAT!!!!!

I have to test it today.

You guys are REALLY GREAT!

one downside there is... Now I have to buy more MVP:s 

- Samuli

Does this include teletext subtitles?
Or is this only for subtitles?

You guys ROCK!

If you disconnect power from MVP for a while (few minutes), does the MVP connect ok?

I have H4 and it does hang sometimes. This power trick does help it connect again.
