Can you take a look at: http://www.flickr.com/photos/16371732@N00 and let me know if your OSD looks like "softdevice_wrongoverlay1_software" or "softdevice_wrongoverlay_software" ? I think the problem lies in the code that alpha blends the OSD with the video image. Changing the HUE setting for me had no effect either. I notice the OSD becomes "strange" once any video is playing. Until then the OSD looks fine... Thanks, CR.

VDR prefers my CI DVB device for recordings and blocks it unnecessarily
by Jörn Reder 09 Aug '06

09 Aug '06

Hiho, I'm a happy VDR user for years and recently installed a common interface to receive pay TV. I'm having problems with VDR's decision of recording devices. The 1.4 change log states that budget cards are preferred, unfortunately my budget card has the CI. So when a recording starts and no pay TV channel is actually tuned, the CI device is blocked and I can't switch to a pay TV channel anymore (whithout stopping the recording). Is it possible to tell VDR to prefer my FF card for recordings instead of my CI budget device? Regards, Joern -- .''`.

mediamvp - unable to locate gui server
by Leo Márquez 08 Aug '06

08 Aug '06

Hi, I'm trying to set the mediamvp plugin but I have problems. The mediamvp seems to boot fine, but when it try to contact servers it says that can't locate gui server. It seems to be a dongle.bin version problem but I don't know witch is the correct for my cvs version of mediamvp plugin. Anyone is using vdr with mediamvp plugin? With which dongle version? Thanks, Leo.

Video and audio from different channels
by Peter Juszack 08 Aug '06

08 Aug '06

During soccer WC a local radiostation named 'Fritz' suggested to watch the games on a muted TV-channel and get the audio from a radio. I can receive Fritz on my vdr but I noticed that this is not yet possible. Allthough it is not real neccessary it would be nice to have. What I am thinking of is a way to switch only audio/video. Maybe some kind of difficult because of audio selection (Dolby Digital and multi language). When weather gets worse I will try to implement that in my radiolist plugin. Regards Peter

by Leo Márquez 08 Aug '06

08 Aug '06

Hi, Anyone know a karaoke piece of that can be well integrated with VDR? I have seen pykaraoke but I don't know how integrate with vdr. Another software that I would try is stepmania. It's not a karaoke software, is a dance software. Anyone known it? Thanks.

Stefan, I am running at "24 bpp", 800x600. Can you shed some light on how softdevice does it's alpha blending? I assume the decoded video frame is in non-RGB color space and from what I read about VDR's OSD that is in RGB, right? So, does softdevice do the RGB-->YUV for the OSD and then alpha-blend that into the video frame? Supposedly using Cairo/XRender, alpha-blending can be done by the video card hardware, I wonder how hard it would be to modify softdevice for this. CR.

Status - isRunning
by daliman 07 Aug '06

07 Aug '06

I have a simple question about the status 'isRunning' that is described in the MANUAL: * this event is currently running (the validity of this marker depends on whether there is currently a DVB card receiving the transponder this channel is on). This statusfield shows the channels that are transmitted from a transponder. Butt when i switch to a another channel, the status of the last channel/transponder is shown too. Is that ok or a patch destroy this status? DaLiMan

> Why are you making such a secret about your patent? Probably because there is a time period in patents in which they can be easily rejected/removed/dispatented called "opposition period". I time period is 9 months, and during that time it is very easi to say to the patent office "that isn't patentable feature, or that feature has been published earlier if it is really published before date in patent application" etc. For futher reading: http://www.european-patent-office.org/legal/guiapp1/e/index.htm Here is about the opposition period: http://www.european-patent-office.org/legal/guiapp1/e/ga_d_v.htm --- Grounds for opposition 178 Opposition may only be filed on the grounds that: · the patent's subject-matter is not patentable within the terms of Articles 52-57 · the patent does not disclose the invention clearly and completely enough for it to be carried out by a skilled person · the patent's subject-matter extends beyond the content of the application as filed. --- Best regards, Jori
