VDR 2.2.0 Language code - BUL

Alexandro77 · 1. September 2019

Hello,

I am still using VDR2.2.0 for my main server.

Noticed that there is no Language code for Bulgarian implemented.

As I have set preference for English audio, every time I switch to Bulgarian channel the audio/subtitle settings have to be amended so that I have Bulgarian audio or subtitles.

Is there any way that I can set Bulgarian as a proffered language?

Thanks in advance.

Best regards.

Hallo Alexandro,

i think that adding this line in i18n.c should fix it:

Dear Helmut,

Thank you very much for this patch.

One more favor to ask you. Could you please let me know how to apply it.

Thanks once again.

Best regards.

To apply the patch to the VDR sources, you could copy it into the vdr-2.2.0 source directory and run patch -p1 < vdr-2.2.0-Add-bul-LanguageCode.patch.

But as i m using gentoo, i dont know the right steps to patch and build your own binary of VDR for YaVDR.

May be some other forum members can help you (i think seahawk1986 is the master of the yavdr universe).

I found a similar question in this thread: vdr patchen und neu bauen

And a link to the Debain tutorial https://wiki.debian.org/BuildingTutorial

May be, this is helpfull for you.

I am not able to upload new packages for Ubuntu 14.04 since it reached it's end of life earlier this year.

To rebuild the vdr package with the patch it should be sufficient to do the following steps:

Create a ~/.quiltrc

Code: ~/.quiltrc

d=. ; while [ ! -d $d/debian -a `readlink -e $d` != / ]; do d=$d/..; done
if [ -d $d/debian ] && [ -z $QUILT_PATCHES ]; then
        # if in Debian packaging tree with unset $QUILT_PATCHES
        QUILT_PATCHES="debian/patches"

        if ! [ -d $d/debian/patches ]; then mkdir $d/debian/patches; fi
fi

Download the build dependencies and the patch and the package sources, then build and install the package:

Code

sudo apt install build-essential fakeroot devscripts
sudo apt install build-dep vdr
wget --no-check-certificate 'https://www.vdr-portal.de/index.php?attachment/43200-vdr-2-2-0-add-bul-languagecode-patch/' -O 'vdr-2.2.0-Add-bul-LanguageCode.patch'
apt-get source vdr
cd vdr-2.2.0*
quilt import ../vdr-2.2.0-Add-bul-LanguageCode.patch
. /etc/lsb-release
dch -l local -D "$DISTRIB_CODENAME" "add patch for bulgarian langugage code"
dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc
sudo dpkg -i ../vdr-2.2.0_*local*.deb

Dear seahawk1986 ,

thank you very much for this useful information.

I am going to try this walkthrough tonight and will report back asap.

Best regards.

Alexandro77 · 2. September 2019

Hello again seahawk1986 ,

I have successfully managed to compile the VDR with the patch following the steps you kindly provided.

Now I have the following in my home directory:

I understand that I have to install the VDR in the system.

Which one do I need and how to proceed further?

I can see that some plugins have been compiled as well.

Once again, sorry for all the questions, but I am really a rookie in the Linux world.

Thank you.

Best regards

Wow, it is working now:

I have executed the following command:

Zitat

sudo dpkg -i /home/vdr_2.2.0-13yavdr0~trustylocal1_amd64.deb

It is so much better experience to have automatically selected audio and subtitles language now.

Thank you so much for this patch and the overall help.

What a fantastic board.

Hope one day in the future it will be implemented in the next VDR versions and YaVDR distributions by default.

Best regards.
