yavdr(0.2) rotor plugin

Yep - my rotor.conf is as follows:

S5.0E = 2
S7.0E = 3
S9.0E = 4
S10.0E = 5
S13.0E = 6
S16.0E = 7
S19.2E = 8
S23.5E = 9
S1.0W = 1

I'm not sure how you should adapt that if you are just directly connected to your rotor.

Thx 4 posting. If anyone has an example on how it should look when the rotor is directly connected i would appriciate it

Can you directly select the desired position in the rotor menu ?

Greetings,
MrNike

Yes - it is still only showing a position number, no description of the satellite like in previous versions so not quite as functional - but it works so that is the main thing!

Maybe you don't actually need a diseqc.conf at all for a single rotor - or if it insists on having something configured then try modifying mine anyway. S28.2E is the one which is connected to port 2 so just ignore that.

thank to Wild

at least the rotor is operating well now. now we need to look for a way to display the satellite name instead of the position.

this is all I have in my diseqc.conf

S19.2E  11700 V  9750  t v
S19.2E  99999 V 10600  t v
S19.2E  11700 H  9750  t V
S19.2E  99999 H 10600  t V

and rotor 0.1.4 mh 1.2 is working for all positions. I had problems with original rotor 0.1.5 and vdr 1.7.15, but this version is working fine (if you use goto position and not gotox).
you have to create rotor.conf in plugins rootfolder yourself.

I found the bug
Reason is that enum Values of eSourceType have changed

Line 95 in rotor.c:
-    if ((source->Code() & 0xC000) != 0x8000)
+         if (!cSource::IsSat(source->Code()))

and you will get all Satellite Names in Rotor Plugin again. Perhaps also GotoX could work again.

Excellent newsy - I will give your patch a try tomorrow evening.

ok in diseqc.c there's also the same problem and this is the reason gotox isn't working. I will provide a patch tomorrow.

this should be enough to reactivate GotoX:

Line 93 in diseqc.c:
-    if ((Source & 0xC000) != 0x8000))
+         if (!cSource::IsSat(Source)

still untested and I will take no responsibility.

here's the patch I promised providing GotoX and satnames support again.

First gotox patch was not enough because rotor positions were stored differently (1 bit for pos/neg, 10 bit for position, now it's a signed 2 byte number)

Thanks mate ... working again on my vdr (yavdr rep: vdr-testing) with ubuntu 10.04. I downloaded the sources and patched the plugin. Then compiled a new .deb, istalled it and the plugin is working perfectly again

If anyone need the .deb file for ubuntu lucid 64bit i can post it here.

Greetings,

how to build that rotor plugin for yavdr to be in .deb format and do i need to patch vdr with gotox patch?

With Ubuntu 10.04 64bit:
1) get sources: 'apt-get sources vdr-plugin-rotor'
2) change to sources dir, copy patch to that dir (/var/lib/vdr/vdr-plugin-rotor-0.1.5/)
3) patch sources: 'patch -p1 -i rotor-0.1.4mh-v1.2_satnames_gotox.diff'
4) compile sources: 'dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -us -uc -b'
5) install deb: 'dpkg -i ../vdr-plugin-rotor_0.1.5-15yavdr1_amd64.deb'

Be sure to use the right filenames depending on your system.

Only problem i have is that is that when i start 'apt-get upgrade' the system wants to install the remore remote plugin from the ppa. Needed to ignore my that version.

Cheers,
MrNike

Yeah give kaffeine a try, its a KDE app so is a bit bloaty however it has full Goto X support so is good to have installed as a backup.

huhuu
ich hab kein plan was gotoxx ist oder was es braucht für das rotor-plugin.
aber sollte einer/wer mir (glücklichen dvb-c user) den patch dafür hier :
https://bugs.yavdr.com/projects/yavdr/issues/new
posten, dann bau ich das auch ins plugin ein.

im thread hier kapier ich leider nichts.
geht das plugin jetzt oder nicht ??

Also having some trouble since yavdr-testing updated to 1.7.16. With 1.7.15 everything worked nice. Now it crashes when i try to select another satellite.
