Hi,
another new version this week: remoteosd-0.0.2 is out. The remoteosd plugin allows a (client) VDR to operate the menu of a remote (server) VDR. Remoteosd requires the svdrpservice plugin, so make sure both plugins get installed on the client. The svdrpext plugin is required on the server. All three plugins are available on http://vdr.schmirler.de.
Most important changes in version 0.0.2:
New option "Tune server channel". When opening the remote OSD, the plugin tries to tune the server to the same channel the client is viewing. So when entering e.g. the remote schedules menu, the expected channel will be highlighted. Usually this option makes sense only if you are running a headless server. In this case I recommend to install the dummydevice plugin on the server, too. Otherwise, in some situations the server might not be able to switch channels as expected.
Support for MainMenuHooks patch. With this patch a plugin can replace the VDR mainmenus "Schedule", "Channels", "Timers" or "Recordings" (read http://www.linuxtv.org/pipermail/vdr/2007-February/012309.html for more information). Remoteosd allow you to replace "Schedule" and/or "Timers" by the corresponding remote menu. Note that you have to apply the patch before compiling remoteosd, otherwise the setup options won't show up. The MainMenuHooks patch is included in the patches directory of the remoteosd sources. See the patch file for further information and instructions.
Changelog: - New option: tune channel on server - Support for MainMenuHooks patch. Plugin may replace the VDR mainmenus Schedule and Timers - Close remote menu when the local menu has been closed by menu key - OSD message if server is not reachable - Support for svdrpservice-0.0.3 default IP/port - Code cleanup
Cheers, Frank
