Hello list,
running vdr on a monitorless machine, I ever want to know what my vdr is doing whithout the need to use XXV or df.
Now after a little programming I want to announce the first version of the kvdrmon KDE kicker applet.
This program monitors some vdr activities. It creates an icon in the KDE system tray showing some informations about the VDR:
- The current state (playing, recording, idle) - The time of the next scheduled recording(s) or the time to this recording(s) - A tooltip displays the name(s) of the running recording(s) - A window pops up if a recording has started or finished
You can select sound files for playing on started or finished recordings.
For further informations, download links and installation hints you can look at http://vdr-statusleds.sourceforge.net/vdr .
Have fun, Bernd

Great software! Many thanks. It seems to work fine, but the "Recording:" list in the main window is empty. Only the next recording is shown as tooltip of the icon. Is that normal or did I made something wrong/found a bug?

May be ... ;-)
Do you had recordings running when you've tried this?
The tooltip shows the currently running recordings and also the next scheduled event(s).
The main window shows only the current running recordings. There is no way to display the details of the next recording(s) at the moment. I should append this to the main window ...
Greetings, Bernd

Yes, this works well!

Alright, now I have a recording running and it is displayed in the main window. But I think I found a bug now: The recording target is "ww/W.i.t.c.h./W.i.t.c.h." but the main window as well as the tooltip of the icon only displays "ww". The tooltip also displays only the topmost directory of the next upcoming target ("Public Relations/nano"). So I guess there is something wrong with parsing/transmitting/displaying non-toplevel recordings?
Anyway, very, very useful tool!

Hmm - I will take a look inside this today evening ...

Many thanks :-) Bernd
Anyone done this?
It seems I cant get softdevice to run directfb mode in 16 bit depth, there is not enough video ram in the xbox apparently to do this, so I thought of trying it in 16 bit color depth, directfb errors out not enough video memory.
