Hi,

When I switch channels in vdr-1.3.44, I noticed that xine-0.7.7 is switching OSD display modes during channel changes. I am currently using "blend clipped" for the OSD display mode, but when I switch channels, xine temporarily goes into X11 overlay mode in the middle of channel change, then goes back to the mode I have selected to use. Any way of preventing xine from temporarily switching to "X11 overlay" during channel changes?
I haven't noticed such a behavior recently, but I'll have a look at it tomorrow evening.
Are you sure that it is "X11 overlay mode" (this mode doesn't support semi transparent colors)?
When switching channels, vdr-xine shows the NO SIGNAL screen which has a resolution of 720x576. If your channels broadcast at a different resolution then that, you get the visual effect of using "X11 overlay mode" while NO SIGNAL is shown, but the difference is, that the OSD is still semi transparent (assuming that support for semi transparent colors is enabled in vdr-xine's setup menu).
As it is now easier to create noSignal.mpg, you may create such a single image mpg at a resolution which suits better for your channels.
Reinhard, you were absolutely correct. Since most of the broadcast here is done in 544x480, all I had to do was change the no-signal mpeg file to the correct resolution and aspect ratio (4/3) and now it looks perfect when switching channels. Thanks for explaining that to me and sorry for the trouble.
Best Regards,
