vdr-plugin-permashift

Hi all,

I have been spoiled by great repos for ubuntu for many years now, and i have not needed to compile any plugins. Now i realized that the permashift-plugin available is for vdr 2.6.9, and i wonder if there is a reason why this is not packaged anymore in the ubuntu-repositories for more recent vdr-versions..?

Hi,

I'm using seahawk1986's repo for buntu jammy. Permashift was part of that repo til 2.6.9, but it seem to have been dropped off since then.

I'm running a pretty ancient box with a nvidia GT220 passive card that uses the version 340.108 of the Nvidia driver. Everytime there is a ubuntu version upgrade, i'm nervous upgrading I actually just checked, and seems that buntu noble has this driver available too Maybe time to upgrade...

https://launchpad.net/~seahawk1986-h…buntu/vdr-2.7.4 has the permashift patch and plugin (and packages for jammy).

I can find the permashift plugin for focal https://launchpad.net/~seahawk1986-h…es_filter=focal and noble https://launchpad.net/~seahawk1986-h…es_filter=noble but can't find it for yammy

Under Ubuntu 24.04 you can probably only use the noveau driver, nvidia-340 from https://launchpad.net/~kelebek333/+a…es_filter=noble didn't work with the default x-server when I tried it shortly after the release.

I'll have to test a blank installation with noble and check if i get it to work. I'm a "if it works, dont touch it" guy, so it's always a bit scary to upgrade with ancient hardware

I have to start to prepare myself for getting new hardware. I got this box second hand for 13 years ago, and i have already replaced the motherboard + processor about 6-7 years ago. The GT220 still works, and i't just fantastic because it does not have any fan. I wonder if there even exists passive graphic cards anymore that can handle HD. The original AMD CPU was also with a really low TDP-value, so i managed with a big heatsink + a big slowly rotating fan..
