[vdr] Re: PVR 250 Plugin Request/Help needed

["Andre Neumann" <chef@andre-neumann.de>]

Hi,

Thanks for the reply. I changed the /dev/video2 in sky.c to /dev/video1
to fit it to my needs. Since my programming knowledge is very limited, i
do not know how to change the lirc function. Could you help me a bit
more here?

And how does VDR know, when the plugin will be used? I mean, a
channelentry must have a special sid or something else, so that VDR
knows, that the sky plugin sends the MPEG2-TS stream.

Any help is very welcome...

Greetings,

The 'sky' plugin is pretty much exactly what you want and could probably
be 
used as-is... 

The remote-control functionality will either need to be changed so the 
keypresses match your cable decoder, or more simply you might want to
comment 
out the actual code in the 'lirc send' function so all of the lirc send
calls 
in the plugin end up doing nothing..

If you notice, the only thing the 'sky' plugin really does is read a TS
from 
/dev/video2 and shuffle that into VDR itself - there's no magic API
calls 
required to talk to Klaus' Kfir MPEG2 encoder - it's purely filesystem,
so if 
your PVR250 can provide a TS, then just change that part of the 'sky'
plugin 
to the correct path, and you should be all set :)

Cheers,
Gavin.
