[vdr] Can't get lock on BBC news

2008-07-11 Thread Tony Grant
Hi,

freesat:

Can't get a lock on BBC News 24 since yesterday is it just me? 

I have also lost the channel 4 group of channels although femon reports
lock.

Have these channels changed their transponder (again)?

Cheers

Tony

 For a stock Nexus-s, you can use any tree.  V4L with the vdr api
 wrapper patch, or *multiproto*.

Hmmm..  compile error

otoh the v4l-dvb tree compiles just fine but multiproto does not.

You need this patch:

http://linuxtv.org/hg/v4l-dvb/raw-diff/b0815101889d/v4l/compat.h

Please take a look at
http://www.linuxtv.org/pipermail/linux-dvb/2008-February/023819.html


Maybe the patch should be directly merged into the multiproto tree...

Hi,

Does anybody use RF remote control with VDR instead of IR? How to configure
such remotes?

Thanks in advance.

[vdr] Vdr-xine OSD question

2008-07-11 Thread Todd Luliak
I am running vdr + vdr-xine plugin + coreavc + xine being output at
1080i to an HDTV as the only display. Is there a simple way to lock the
OSD to the resolution of the output device such that the OSD is not
rescaled when switching between SD and HD sources? I played with
X-overlay, but that was not what I was after. If not, could it be done
in the source somewhere or is the OSD anti-aliased and overlayed on the
video before being sent to the output device (xine, in my case)? I've
looked around quite a bit on the net but I guess my google-foo is
failing me on this one. I just miss the rock-solid OSD of the FF card
setup...

Thanks!

In an effort to create something to solve such issues with
xineliboutput plugin I came up with an idea of this HUD type OSD.
Basically it means that OSD is rendered to a separate transparent
surface on top of video and then these are blended together by the
display hardware. This way the size of the OSD is bound to the size of
the used window rather than the size of the video stream. In other
words no OSD scaling will be necessary even though the video size
changes.

The HUD implementation has been integrated into the CVS of
xineliboutput plugin. To operate it requires support for xorg render
extension and presence of composite display manager such as xcompmgr.
It also requires powerful display adapter and drivers with support for
these modern extensions. Maybe you can try it to see if it produces
results that you are hoping for?
