The true author of the plugin in bball. The last homepage for the plugin is http://projects.vdr-developer.org/git/vdr-plugin-yaepghd.git/
this is the HighDefinition project and will not work on SD Cards without 4Mb modification
Correct, but bball is still the true author. He created yaepg, and later yaepghd.
but I do know he lost his password a long time ago.
This sounds for me, he give up the project.
- last commit january 2009
- a lot of open bugs...
Hard to commit changes when you don't have the password. He never abandoned it, regardless of the long time since last changes.
It isn't a problem to ask the owner form vdr-developer.org to reset the password or/and add a new one
If the own of vdr-developer.org is willing to do that, sure, but if he does then he should only add a login for an appropriate maintainer not just anybody who wants to merge their own patches. Are you willing to take the full responsibility of a maintainer?
From what I was told Captiveworks just took it and made their own fork so I guess you could do the same.
No fork, without to kontakt the last maintainer. I will not support the chaos on the internet and add a new release somewhere in the wilderness...
Since you applied your patches to their fork, I guess you should ask them to merge your patches there. Honestly, yaepg[hd] would be better off re-written from the ground up but I doubt anyone have the motivation to do it.
