Hi,
This patch makes the following modifications to softdevice plugin from CVS:
1. Some channels display white dots at the top and bottom of the screen due to WSS data encoded in the picture. This problem has been mentioned on vdr, linux-dvb and dxr3 mailinglists a few times. I added two new items in the softdevice menu that allow to cut off a number of lines from top and bottom of the picture. It is implemented now only for -vo vidix and dfb with i420/YV12 format and hardware alpha blending. ... -------------
I always wondered what this was on my DVB streams. Is there something similar in vdr-xine?
