Would it be hard to enhance the femon plugin to show some stream information, eg progressive v interlaced and stream resolution, eg 480p, 576p, 1080i etc? It already does some stream parsing as is, to determine mpeg2 vs h.264?

Nope - most of the code is already there: only a simple ts2pes buffering class is missing as all required data doesn't fit into a one TS packet with H.264. I don't have access to any H.264 channels, so I won't implement any further. Also I'm waiting Klaus' decision about enchanhing the cDevice API as certain information are quite useful i.e. for skins.

this might be slightly OT, but I thought it would be worth pointing out if talking about future releases of the femon plugin. Would you like to take a look at my quick hack which makes the femon OSD width adaptive and consistent to the global OSD width (for HD displays): http://www.vdr-portal.de/board/thread.php?postid=829287#post829287 As mentioned, maybe it's a hack, but it looks quite well on my FullHD OSD (even if right now I'm only able to receive SD video yet). For vdr
= 1.7.8 maybe the OSD width value can be obtained via the new API call
Klaus introduced, but I only did it for a patched vdr-1.7.7, but you get the idea...
Cheers, Lucian

The similar feature is already implemented in the git repository, so it will be available in the next public release.

Cool, good to hear that. Is the git repository publicly accessible (for a gentoo ebuild for example)?
Regards, Lucian
