I don't know about any of that but I wonder if the new osd system will be able to maintain widescreen HD resolution even when viewing 4:3 SD channels. Or if it will behave as it currently does, stretches/shrinks according to the channel/recording you're watching. Preferrably it won't do that, or at least be something the user can toggle. My output is always 1920x1080. I opt not to scale SD content up to HD. This means that when I'm watching 4:3 SD content in 1920x1080, I have borders on the left & right, which I'm ok with. However, there's no reason I'm aware of why the osd can't still take advantage of the full 1920x1080.
That scaling, you're talking about is not related to the new OSD system. Scaling is part of the output device and at least xineliboutput can be configured to not to scale.
I was talking about OSD only - independant of the stream-format.
In the example I wrote, anthra was configured with 1920x1080 - when I watch TV from FF and hit the menue button, the screen will change to black font on black background :)
As far as I understand a statement of Klaus, the OSD will be different depending on the output device. So I wrote about my wish: if the OSD systems already are different, it would be nice to have different configurations too.
configure a second vdr instance (on the client or the server) serving the xineliboutput, then you can have 2 configurations right now allready. Its not to much overhead actually :)
