[patch] Load plugins based on VDRVERSION and APIVERSION alternatively
by Udo Richter 23 Apr '06

23 Apr '06

Hi Klaus, The new APIVERSION of 1.3.47 will cause lots of trouble as soon as APIVERSION and VDRVERSION differ the first time, as this requires updated Makefiles for all plugins. In best case, VDR wont find a plugin because it has the wrong name, in worst case, an old version is used without noticing. On the other hand, its not too difficult to load plugins based on APIVERSION and VDRVERSION alternatively. That way, plugins that still use VDRVERSION continue to work. This even gives plugin authors the ability to ignore APIVERSION compatibility if the plugin depends on obscure differences between versions. The only drawback is that plugin authors will be lazy adapting to APIVERSION. The attached patch does the trick: It loads plugins using APIVERSION and VDRVERSION, and gives VDRVERSION the precedence. The patch also prefers VDRVERSION when loading "*". Feel free to use it if you want.

calling MainMenuAction() from an other plugin
by Patrick Fischer 23 Apr '06

23 Apr '06

Hello I want to show an special message on the screen. (with image, buttons,...) My idear was to write an second Plugin which have a MainMenuAction which shows the message on the OSD. The param will be set by a service which was called before I call cPlugin *Plugin = cPluginManager::GetPlugin("myShowMessage"); if (Plugin) Plugin->MainMenuAction(); The problem is that I need to call this code from an background thread, so the called plugin can't handle the osd. Mar 28 10:27:49 localhost vdr[7282]: ERROR: attempt to open OSD while it is already open - using dummy OSD! Mar 28 10:27:49 localhost vdr[7282]: ERROR: OSD opened without closing previous OSD! Is there any possibility to call the Plugin with full osd support?

by Udo Richter 22 Apr '06

22 Apr '06

Hi list, The proxy-plugin is released in version 0.1.2, fixing some smaller bugs and getting up to date with VDR development. Get it while its hot: http://urichter.cjb.net/vdr/?h=proxy (german) http://urichter.cjb.net/vdr/?h=proxy&l=en (english) Changes: New: Finnish translation, thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg New: Control plugins by SVDRP, adapted from a patch by Matthias Schwarzott New: Proxy-support for Active() and MainThreadHook() (VDR 1.3.47) New: Adapt to new APIVERSION load scheme of VDR 1.3.47 Fix: Compile on VDR versions between 1.3.18 and 1.3.31 Summary about proxy: The proxy plugin acts as a wrapper that encapsulates a VDR plugin and passes through all interfaces. To make this actually useful, the proxy plugin can modify the behavior of plugins, like changing the menu entry, group several plugins in one sub menu and load/unload plugins while VDR is running. Cheers, Udo
