Hey all,
Ever had the trouble that your remote's color navigation key weren't the same as VDR's? Well I wrote this patch the past 4 hours which lets you configure them.
By doing so, the order of the buttons in the menu changes depending on whatever you tell it to. So finally that remote can match whatever is displayed on screen.
This only works for the classic and st-tng skins, as those are supplied with VDR. The Skin needs to support this feature. If there is no skin support, the setting simply gets ignored by that skin. Since only the order of the buttons in the skin are being changed any plugin configuration will be independent from this change. What I mean is that, when a plugin has configured blue to take you straight to the photo gallery, the blue button will still do this, no matter where it is on the remote. If the plugin however used the blue key to fast forward, because it is the right most key, and thus made sense logically there, it will no longer when you move the keys around. Practically, this will boil down to a handful of plugins depending on location which imo is a little weird anyway :)
Also, I patched it on a Gentoo box using the latest 1.6 ebuild they have so line numbers may be a little off in the patch due to various patches Gentoo may apply. It's the only dev. box for VDR I have so forgive me on that.
I'm looking forward to the review :)
