  • [Solved] Question about recordings in progress for a script

    Thanks all of you.

    As I do not have dbus2vdr installed (I need the script for an installation of easyVDR 3 I have in a NUC6) I will take the command proposed by vectra130 and the way I am going to calculate the next [recording/recording in progres] with this command:

    Code
    NEXT_TIMER=$(svdrpsend next | grep -hi "250" | awk '{print $3 " " $4 " " $5 " " $6 " " $7}')
NEXT_TIMER_UTC=$(date -d "$NEXT_TIMER" +%s)

    I checked it and it works fine. With the script proposed by seahawk1986 I can end the script I need.

    Thanks again and regards.

  • [Solved] Question about recordings in progress for a script

    Hi.

    I would like to know how can I make a conditional sentence to know if there are some recording in progress. Like:

    Code
    If (Recording in progress)??? then;
   do things
else
   do else things
fi

    It is to prevent an unmount of an external hard disk in order to check it, when a recording is in progress (I schelule recordings in an external 5Tb hard disk).

    Thanks and regards.

  • [0.6.0] Installation of yaVdr 0.6 in Intel NUC6?

    Hi.

    Too hard for me :(

    Booting with Ubuntu 15.10 in order to know the model of wired network, it seems to be: Intel® Ethernet Connection I218-V. So I go to Intel drivers web page to download the right driver: em-7.6.1.tar.gz.

    The way for installing seems to be easy:

    But... I can not run make command, it seems not to be installed, and I have no network to do it... Is there an esay way to install make command without network connection?.

    [Edited]: The exit of "dpkg --get-selections" command is here: http://pastebin.com/k9ND6Ugh

  • [0.6.0] Installation of yaVdr 0.6 in Intel NUC6?

    Hi.

    Even without finishing installation, yaVdr starts in Tty1 screen and I can login.

    I think that no sofware has been downloaded from internet and neither post-installation scripts of yaVdr have been executed.

    I found a page with some info about how to install intel wired network driver in ubuntu 14.04.03, I guess I will be able to do the same in yaVdr 0.6 and activate network.

    But, I do not know if I will be able to run the post-intallation scripts after installing the network.

    Tomorrow I will try to activate the network, if it works I will let you know and we will decide next steps.

    Regards.

  • [0.6.0] Installation of yaVdr 0.6 in Intel NUC6?

    Hi.

    I have tried to install yaVdr 0.6 in the las version of intel NUC (NUC6i5SYK), but the bootable usb of yaVdr 0.6 can not go on since the keyboard selecction.

    I had to record yaVdr 0.6 iso in a DVD, and connect an external DVD reader in order to go on with installation.

    The problem is that the installation software is not able to detect the wired network, so installation is not able to finish.

    I want to try Ubuntu 15.10 64bits, but I do not know if yaVdr 0.6 can be installed from a ppa repository. Is that possible?, what should I do?.

    Regards.

  • [0.6.0] Anleitung Installation auf NUC5

    Quote from Eisbaer128

    Just updated the guide with a command to change to version of the debian package. (dch -i "comment ..")


    Hi.

    I run dch command but it is not installed in my yaVdr. I am not able to install it either.

    I know the package versión by using:

    Code
    dpkg -s vdr-plugin-softhddevice | grep Version
Version: 1:0.6.1rc1.git20150924.1231-0yavdr3~trusty

    Should I run the dch -i "1:0.6.1rc1.git20150924.1231-0yavdr3~trusty" command? But how can I install dch?

    I do not understand how should I update the guide. I am sorry for bothering you again :wand

  • [0.6.0] Anleitung Installation auf NUC5

    Hi. Thanks for your answer Eisbaer128. May be it is because I am not an advanced user of linux, but I do not understand completely your answer:

    Quote from Eisbaer128

    Here a good solution is to change the version of the local install softhddevice-) will add this to the instructions

    I do not know what " to change the version of the local install softhddevice-)" is? Do I remove the part of uninstall softhdevice or should I add some more?
    [I edited already this part of the post]

    Quote from Eisbaer128

    After removing teh custom Edid everything is working fine.

    I do not know neither what is customEdid nor how to remove it?. Is it removed already in "xorg.conf.yavdr" or should I use some command?.

    Sorry for my inexperience.

  • [0.6.0] Anleitung Installation auf NUC5

    Hi.

    I hope to buy a NUC6 in a few weeks, so I installed yaVdr 0.6 in a virtual machine in order to reproduce the Eisbaer128 instructions.

    Those are the step I did. I hope someone can correct me if I did some mistake.

    First of all, the most recent version of intel graphics should be installed

    Code
    sudo add-apt-repository ppa:oibaf/graphics-drivers
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-intel

    Next step, source of vdr-plugin-softhddevice should be downloaded.

    Code
    sudo apt-get install devscripts  # In order to run afterward the 'dch' command
sudo apt-get source vdr-plugin-softhddevice
sudo apt-get build-dep vdr-plugin-softhddevice 
sudo apt-get install libva-dev # (only in case the file is not already installed)

    IMPORTANT: DO NOT REMOVE manually vdr-plugin-softhddevice. As it is a part of yaVdr, some other software needed for yaVdr would be also removed

    After download and run build-dep, the folder "vdr-plugin-softhddevice-0.6.1rc1.git20150924.1231" was created (If git of plugin changes I guess the numbers in folder will be different next time)

    Code
    cd vdr-plugin-softhddevice-0.6.1rc1.git20150924.1231

    In order to avoid intalling new versions of plugin softhdevice, we should increase the number of versión of our softhdevice:

    Code
    sudo dch -i "added vaapi and opengl to compile options"

    In order to edit needed files, I installed nano text editor:

    Code
    sudo apt-get install nano

    Makefile should be edited:

    Code
    sudo nano Makefile

    And some changes in file should be done. This content will change:

    Code
    # support VA-API video output module (deprecated)
#VAAPI ?= $(shell pkg-config --exists libva && echo 1)
    # support glx outputAfter that we change to a created folder in order to build the deb package:
#OPENGL ?= $(shell pkg-config --exists gl glu && echo 1)

    for this one:

    Code
    # support VA-API video output module (deprecated)
VAAPI ?= $(shell pkg-config --exists libva && echo 1)
    # support glx output
OPENGL ?= $(shell pkg-config --exists gl glu && echo 1)

    Instead of editing the Makefile you can run those commands that will do automaticaly the changes for you:

    Code
    sudo sed -i s/#VAAPI/VAAPI/ Makefile
sudo sed -i s/#OPENGL/OPENGL/ Makefile


    After that, buildpackage should be run:

    Code
    sudo dpkg-buildpackage -b -us -uc -d

    The result of the previous command is (I am sorry, some words are in spanish):

    Display Spoiler


    We change to the previous folder with "cd .." and vdr plugin should be installed (install dependencies if they appeared in the instalation process):

    Code
    sudo dpkg -i vdr-plugin-softhddevice_0.6.1rc1.git20150924.1231-0yavdr3~trusty_amd64.deb  #Not install the packet with dbg on its name

    nVidia drivers should be removed too:

    Code
    sudo apt-get remove --purge nvidia*

    Config file of plugin should be edited:

    Code
    sudo nano /etc/vdr/conf.avail/softhddevice.conf

    and the content should be:

    Code
    [Softhddevice]
-D
-v va-api
# -v va-api-glx

    xorg.conf.yavdr config file should be also edited:

    Code
    sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf.yavdr

    and the content should be (Avoid to use CustomEdid in xorg.conf, because it cause fails in Kodi):

    That is that I understood that is needed to do, in order to make Intel HD work in NUC5. If some corrections are needed, please be free to tell me and I edit the post to fix them.

    Thanks and regards.

  • yaVdr and Intel HD graphic card

    Hi.

    I have in mind to buy an intel nuc mini pc, but it has intel HD graphics.

    I know that yaVdr is designed to work with nvidia graphic cards, but I am not able to find a mini pc similar to nuc with an nvidia card (nowadays I have Xtreamer Ultra).

    Someone can tell me if yaVdr will work fine in this pc?. I have translated some threads with google translato, but translation is not very clear and it seems that there are changes to do that are not inmediate for not advanced users.

    Regards.
