As announced earlier I’ve updated the vdr-experimental repository with the VDR 1.5.14 packages.

The following plug-ins have been dropped due to lack of upstream support:

• autotimeredit (Letzte Version von 11/2005)
• console (Letzte Version von 09/2004)
• mediamvp (Letzte Version von 04/2005)

The subtitles plug-in isn’t necessary anymore. DVB subtitles are now directly supported in VDR.

The following plug-ins don’t work at the moment:

• channelscan
• reelchannelscan

To use the pvr350 plug-in with Etch, you need to update the Kernel. The kernel packages available at backports.org will work.

All packages are available for the i386 and the amd64 architecture.

An update to VDR 1.5.14, which was released today, will follow soon.

There hasn’t been very much happening in the repository lately, so I decided to do some early spring-cleaning. The VDR 1.4.7-packages in the vdr-experimental repository seem to be pretty stable, so I will move the Etch packages from vdr-experimental to vdr-testing. In vdr-testing there will only be minor updates like important bug fixes in the future. So whoever is currently running happily on vdr-experimental / Etch, should update his sources.list to point to vdr-testing:

#
# e-Tobi's Testing Etch VDR Repository
#
deb http://e-tobi.net/vdr-testing etch base backports addons vdr-standard
#deb http://e-tobi.net/vdr-testing etch base backports addons vdr-multipatch
#deb http://e-tobi.net/vdr-testing etch base backports addons vdr-extensions

vdr-experimental will soon be updated to VDR 1.5.x / VDR 1.6. To stay up-to-date with the latest VDR and plug-in version, use this repository entry:

#
# e-Tobi's Experimental Etch VDR Repository
#
deb http://e-tobi.net/vdr-experimental etch base backports addons vdr-standard
#deb http://e-tobi.net/vdr-experimental etch base backports addons vdr-multipatch
#deb http://e-tobi.net/vdr-experimental etch base backports addons vdr-extensions

vdr-experimental also provides packages for Debian Sid:

#
# e-Tobi's Experimental Sid VDR Repository
#
deb http://e-tobi.net/vdr-experimental sid base backports addons vdr-standard
#deb http://e-tobi.net/vdr-experimental sid base backports addons vdr-multipatch
#deb http://e-tobi.net/vdr-experimental sid base backports addons vdr-extensions

The old Sarge packages (VDR 1.2.6, 1.4.4 and 1.4.6) are not maintained anymore, so I moved them to vdr-deprecated:

#
# e-Tobi's Old Sarge VDR Repository (will soon be dropped!)
#
deb http://e-tobi.net/vdr-deprecated/vdr-stable sarge base backports addons vdr-standard
#deb http://e-tobi.net/vdr-deprecated/vdr-stable sarge base backports addons vdr-multipatch
#deb http://e-tobi.net/vdr-deprecated/vdr-testing sarge base backports addons vdr-standard
#deb http://e-tobi.net/vdr-deprecated/vdr-testing sarge base backports addons vdr-multipatch
#deb http://e-tobi.net/vdr-deprecated/vdr-experimental sarge base backports addons vdr-standard
#deb http://e-tobi.net/vdr-deprecated/vdr-experimental sarge base backports addons vdr-multipatch

For some reason Mplayer can't stream the Quicktime versions of Galacticast. I think, it's the advertisements that blip.tv tries to send, which cause it to fail. VLC doesn't work either. So please update your vodcatchersources.conf to:

FEED_URL=http://feeds.feedburner.com/galacticast-wmv

The Vodcatcher plug-in allows to browse and play RSS based video podcasts. For more information and download, take a look here.

Ein neues Plug-in hat das Licht der Welt erblickt: Menuorg

Als Ersatz für das scheinbar nicht mehr gepflegte Submenu Plug-in, erlaubt Menuorg das Hauptmenü des VDR neu zu strukturieren.
