Maybe I should test it with dxr3... But, I also notice that skinsoppalusikka displays wrong colors in the display logos, if you constantly change channels - if you wait until the OSD clears (i.e. the channel info is not displayed anymore), then the logo is displayed correctly when you change a channel. It seems as if the palette isn't updated if you don't let the OSD clear itself. Is this what you meant? Otherwise the OSD's colors are correct. Occasionally the OSD freezes (i.e. it is unresponsive for a while), or, more commonly, becomes garbled, i.e. as if the OSD was out of sync for a second or a few more. These are the dxr3-specific problems I was referring. DXR3 users get them with ANY OTHER SKIN than text2skin (and enElchi), even the default ones (console and st_tng) - they are NOT soppalusikka specific. I haven't noticed any problems with the refreshing OSD on dxr3 (i.e. everything is displayed correctly), but if that really is happening, it could explain why skinsoppalusikka occasionally hangs and becomes garbled on dxr3. - Ville p.s. I also noticed that text2skin being unusable in 1.5.11 is caused by some skins (not enElchi) that used to work before, crashing the whole thing when the files are loaded by text2skin. By removing them I got the text2skin working again. Maybe I should post a message here about 1.5.1x and dxr3 at some point, with all the patches I've gathered... -- Ville Aakko - [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr

Is this related to `xine -V xxmc` too? The skin skinsoppalusikka's colours appears wrong when I use the video driver xxmc in vdr-xine. It also appears to do a "clearscreen" everytime the OSD updates, which is annoying if you have the playback bar updating every second.

I have to correct this: skinsoppalusikka is still unstable on dxr3 (as it always used to be for me and at least some others). You get the occasional freezes and garbled OSD, if you use the menus (as you get with any other skin, except than those made via text2skin).

Re: [vdr] dxr3 and 1.5.11 antialiasing
Hi, which freetype version/Distribution use you? Some medium fresh FreeType versions have a bug with SPACE symbol 32 DEC. In UTF8 patch for vdr 1.4 there is a workaround for this.

It seems to be a FreeType/font error, at least here. When I try to start VDR without any plugins, I get the error too: vdr: [27943] switching to channel 18 vdr: [27944] video directory scanner thread ended (pid=27943, tid=27944) vdr: [27943] ERROR: no OSD provider available - using dummy OSD! vdr: [27943] ERROR: FreeType: error during FT_Render_Glyph 32, 3 vdr: [27943] ERROR: FreeType: error during FT_Render_Glyph 32, 3 I have a backtrace and an strace plus some additional information here: http://pastebin.ca/raw/781213 Dunno how much it helps though... - Jan ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr

Hi Jan, Just in case "vdr: [3936] ERROR: FreeType: error during FT_Render_Glyph 32, 3" is not caused by this / VDR does not crash because of that (I'm not getting that error), I've noticed that VDR does not start at all if I enable text2skin. It used to work in vdr-1.5.10 but not in 1.5.11 anymore, VDR just dies if I enable it. In the logs I get this: Nov 18 20:01:35 VillenVDRdevil kernel: em8300_video.o: Video sync rdptr is stuck at 0xdc01, wrptr 0xdcfb, left 250 Nov 18 20:01:35 VillenVDRdevil kernel: em8300_video.o: Video sync timeout And then VDR dies. If I disable it and use skinsoppalusikka instead, everything is OK. It even seems more stable (i.e. as stable as text2skin) than it used to, though I haven't done extensive testing yet. I'm on Gentoo, though. I'm having strange problems there with my dxr3 and >VDR-1.5.10 that other people on other distros don't.
