Hello,

I've just tried to convert som DVD videos to the .vdr format using the script dvd2vdr.sh found on vdrportal.
The converted files play on the vdr, but they do not play via vomp; vomp crashes, the screen stays black and I have to do a powercyle reboot.
Any hints?

Hi,
I have the problem that the special german chars like ÄÜÖ etc. do not show up right. Eg the "ä" shows up as "ä", not looking very nice...
The original VDR-OSD is OK, also the view in the live-plugin, just the Vomp/MVP makes probs.
I already tried different codepages on the server, but all the same.
Any hints?

Cheers,
Lutz

Hello Forum,
if I want to open the recordings via Vomp, I get the message "Connection lost" on the screen. I have to restart Vomp; live tv works.
I was messing arround with the file rights, but now I've tried every possible combination.
My configuration: I have a seperate home-partition, one of the dirs is /home/video.
This is linked to /var/lib/video.00. Never had a problem with this, since I've started messing arround with the file rights... but now its all user:group vdr:vdr, with mode 775... should be OK...
If I make a video dir /var/lib/video.00, all is working OK.  (With the same file rights...)
Accessing the recording dir through vdr directly is working well all the time.
Any hint?
Thanks!

Hi Chris,
did you include the full duplex kernel patch as mentioned here:

Hello Forum,
I've got a problem if I'm simultaneously viewing and recording the same channel with my vdr server and vomp.
I get drop-outs and grafic artefacts.
If I do the same with zapper/videolan and the streamdev-plugin, I can watch even some more channels at the same time without having dropouts.
My server is a Pentium 3 1400 Ghz, with two 500GB-IDE-HDs mirrored as Raid-1, each at a seperate ide channel with only a master device attached.
Any hints?
Best regards
Lutz

Hi Chris,
I've just installed VOMP together with the C't-vdr, and it worked just out-of-the-box! Great work,thank you very much!
I've got just one question left: Is it possible to use more than one MVP with one single vdr?
Cheers
Lutz
