osd->DrawText with \n and \t
by Patrick Fischer 01 Apr '06

01 Apr '06

Hello I have some questions about the DrawText from the osd. Is there any possibility to use newlines(\n) or tabs(\t)? I have looked at the source and I found this method(part of cBitmap::DrawText): while (s && *s) { const cFont::tCharData *CharData = Font->CharData(*s++); if (limit && int(x + CharData->width) > limit) break; // we don't draw partial characters if (int(x + CharData->width) > 0) { for (int row = 0; row < h; row++) { cFont::tPixelData PixelData = CharData->lines[row]; for (int col = CharData->width; col-- > 0; ) { if (ColorBg != clrTransparent || (PixelData & 1)) SetIndex(x + col, y + row, (PixelData & 1) ? fg : bg); PixelData >>= 1; } } } x += CharData->width; if (x > width - 1) break; } } If there i no other possibility to use text over two lines i would like to patch the code, but maybe there is an other way.... I need \n but maybe \t would be nice too. Greetings Patrick

Hi, i´m not Klaus but i answer. (I dont speak for Klaus to) It is not completely wrong to use ist, but it looks nicer with cChannels.Name() because it is shorter and more readable. Bye i.A. DaLiMan Hi, Klaus also use cChannels.ShotName() in the schedule menu of VDR so I wonder why it should be a wrong to use it. The plugin patches the font at run time. So there is no need for the WarEagle-Icon-patch. The patch you provide adds icons to mark a channel as tv or radio channel. I don't have in mind to add this informations. So I don't see this two issues as mistakes. Greets, Martin (the author of Nordlicht's EPG-Plugin ;-) )

tunerlock with alternate primary device
by C.Y.M 31 Mar '06

31 Mar '06

If I define PrimaryDVB = 2 in setup.conf and enable WAIT_FOR_TUNER_LOCK, it seems VDR checks for primary device = 1 first. Should VDR not start with the primary device defined by the setup.conf first? vdr: [6153] ERROR: device 1 has no lock, can't attach receiver! Best Regards, C.

Broken links in recordings with long pathnames
by Mike Constabel 31 Mar '06

31 Mar '06

Hello, I use vdr-1.3.44, Debian Etch, Kernel 2.6.15.5. I programmed with epgsearch a timer which results in this path on harddisk: /video1.0/Information/Gesellschaft/Ripleys_unglaubliche_Welt/Der_Fallschirm-S tunt_^B_Mode_aus_Luftpolster-Folie_^B_Der_verbotene_Maden-Käse_^B_Die_Selfmad e-Insel_^B_Die_Kürbis-Kombo_^B_Pfeil_im_Kopf_^B_Die_längs+ten_Fingernägel_der _Welt_^B_Der_Mann_ohne_Gesicht/2006-03-24.18.20.40.99.rec Because the first disk is full, the 001.vdr goes to video1.1. VDR creates this link: lrwxrwxrwx 1 vdr1 vdr 288 2006-03-24 18:39 001.vdr -> /video1.1/Information/Gesellschaft/Ripleys_unglaubliche_Welt/Der_Fallschirm-St unt_?_Mode_aus_Luftpolster-Folie_?_Der_verbotene_Maden-Käse_?_Die_Selfmade-Ins el_?_Die_Kürbis-Kombo_?_Pfeil_im_Kopf_?_Die_längsten_Fingernägel_der_Welt_?_De r_Mann_ohne_Gesicht/20 As you can see, the link is broken, the target is truncated to 256 Bytes. An other recording, the same problem. /video1.0/Information/Wissen/W_wie_Wissen/Themen:_Sommerzeit_-_Die_gestohlene_ Stunde_Weltraum-Wetterfrösche_haben_bald_3-D-Blick_auf_die_Sonne_Die_schwarze_ Sonne_Sonnenstürme_und_Polarlichter_Wissen_des_Alltags:+_Wie_drehen_sich_Schli ngpflanzen?/2006-03-26.16.58.25.99.rec The link: lrwxrwxrwx 1 vdr1 vdr 279 2006-03-26 16:58 001.vdr -> /video1.1/Information/Wissen/W_wie_Wissen/Themen:_Sommerzeit_-_Die_gestohlene_ Stunde_Weltraum-Wetterfrösche_haben_bald_3-D-Blick_auf_die_Sonne_Die_schwarze_ Sonne_Sonnenstürme_und_Polarlichter_Wissen_des_Alltags:_Wie_drehen_sich_Schlin gpflanzen?/2006-03-26. Even on shell I cannot create links longer than 256 Bytes. I think: PATH_MAX is here 4096, but SYMLINK_MAX is not defined and so: {SYMLINK_MAX} Maximum number of bytes in a symbolic link. Minimum Acceptable Value: {_POSIX_SYMLINK_MAX} {_POSIX_SYMLINK_MAX} The number of bytes in a symbolic link. Value: 255 VDR should not create pathes longer 254 Byte, or what do you think? /video<...>.rec/???.vdr <--- max 255 ----------> cu, Mike

[ANNOUNCE] Patch for NordlichtsEPG_8a (DaLiMan)
by vdr＠daliman.de 31 Mar '06

31 Mar '06

Ich bin gebeten worden diesen Patch von "Cocky" einzusenden. Dieser Patch zeigt die WarEagleIcons an und behebt einen Fehler in der Channelsdarstellung. channels->Name() wird statt channels->ShortName(true) angezeigt, da dieser trotz des Namens kürzer ist. Voraussetzung ist der WarEaglePatch oder der BiGPatch. Das ist nur eine Zwischenlösung bis der Author seinen Fehler korrigiert hat. (Sorry, but i´m my own translation bot and my english is terrible!) I´m pleased to announce this patch from "Cocky". I dont know his real name. This patch swows the wareagleicons and korrekt the channellist. channels->Name() instead of channels->ShortName(true) is shown. You need the WarEagle- or BigPatch.

A script for renaming recording directories (regular -> "VFAT=1" format)
by Esa Viitala 31 Mar '06

Has anyone made a script to automatically go through video directory and rename all the recordings to format which is also produced when vdr is using VFAT "support"?

xgl, xinerama and xine
by Gregoire Favre 30 Mar '06

30 Mar '06

Hello, I have just discovered Xgl : TREMENDOUS !!! In a few minutes I have set up xfce/Xgl/compiz in order to have xine in background and in one face of my cube I have one big terminal (also fullscreen) with a perfect transparency which allows me to work while watching TV :-) Another face of my cube, same but with firefox :-) There is a nice howto under http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_XGL Does anyone know xfce/xgl to tell me how to automatically have this setup at each start ? I am specially interested in learning how to start an application on a specific face of the cube ? And how to set transparency level, sticky state... How to tell it to only use first xinerama screen for xine normal usage (F is for fullscreen in second screen). Thank, -- Grégoire FAVRE http://gregoire.favre.googlepages.com
