Hi Louis,

I tried the plugin on vdr 1.7.41, but i don't get the OSD working (osd is blank). I run my vdr on Ubuntu, and I use xineliboutput. Could it be some libraries that i'm missing?

Regards,

René

Hi,

One additional technical remark: the skin uses intensively the eMenuCategory enumeration introduced in VDR 1.7.34 to determinate which menu has to be displayed and if this menu should be displayed narrowly or in default style.

So plugins like epgsearch or extrecmenu which replace VDR menus also have to set correct MenuCategories to be displayed correctly by the skin. In the newest versions of these plugins this is already implemented, so you should use always the latest git version of these plugins.

One remaining issue with older plugins which are not already adapted to this new behaviour is the following: in plugins with dedicated setup menus which inherit from cMenuSetupPage the menu category mcSetup is set by the constructor of VDRs cMenuSetupPage, but this category should only be used by the main setup menu from VDR (which is diplayed narrow by default in the skin). To solve this, in the constructors of these plugin menus a different menu category (for instance mcSetupPlugins) has to be set via a call to SetMenuCategory:

SetMenuCategory(mcSetupPlugins);

Cheers Louis

Hi Rene,

how do you start the xineliboutput plugin? To get a true color osd, you have to start it with --hud. I think this is your problem...

If this is not working, you could also try to use softhddevice as output plugin. softhddevice supports true color anyway, so you could see if you have another issue maybe...

Cheers Louis

PS: sorry for the html mail, damn new gmx webinterface :-)

Why don't you use `apt-file search` to identify the packages which contain the files you're missing?

I'm running a manually compiled vdr, and the ubuntu-version i run does not have the softhddevice plugin :-(

Are you saying there's some special ubuntu version of the VDR & plugins source?

Anyways, when you try compiling, you likely have errors like some file.pc is missing. So you can do `apt-file search file.pc` to find the package that file belongs to, and then install the package.

These are the build dependencies of the softhddevice plugin:

gettext, pkg-config, libasound2-dev, libx11-dev, libxcb1-dev, libx11-xcb-dev, libxcb-ewmh-dev, libxcb-dpms0-dev, libxcb-glx0-dev, libxcb-icccm4-dev, libxcb-image0-dev, libxcb-randr0-dev, libxcb-screensaver0-dev, libxcb-shm0-dev, libxcb-util0-dev, libxcb-xv0-dev, x11proto-core-dev, mesa-common-dev, libglu1-mesa-dev, libva-dev, libvdpau-dev, libavcodec-dev, libavutil-dev,

If you don't want to use the available packages in e.g. yaVDR, you can at least do a `apt-get build-dep vdr-plugin-softhddevice` to get the build dependencies (assuming you have the appropriate repositories in your sources.list)

René,

well you could go the hard way and try a mix of repository based VDR plus any self-compiled Plugins, in that case I would rather suggest to do everything by yourself inkl. VDR ...

Or a little easier Debian/Ubuntu way, look here: http://goo.gl/Xz7zm, usage: "sudo apt-add-repository ppa:yavdr/testing-vdr"

Our packages do base closely on Tobi's work.

=== Kind regards fnu

Hi Fnu,

Thanks for the suggesting your repo. It looks to have an impressive list of plugins :-) I did a small test-ride, but for some reason it did not install an init-script. is it something i'm missing, or shall i use the init-script found under /usr/share/doc/vdr/examples ?

In the final version (coming with vdr 2.0) the package will again install an init.d-Script (or an upstart-job if your system uses that like Ubuntu). For now you have to use the one found in the examples directory.

Lars.

Regards,

René

Hi Rene,

fine that you got the skin running finally ;)

I can now change to the theme, but i don't get the video resized even if that setting is set..

Any idea what i might have missed?

Yes...the output device has to implement the VDR scaling API introduced by Klaus in VDR1.7.33. xineliboutput has not been updted for this afaik, so scaling is not working with this output device currently. I don't know if the developer will implement it.

btw: softhddevice has implemented the scaling API and scaling works fine with this output plugin ;)

Cheers Louis

Hi Louis,

I start xineliboutput with the following line

xineliboutput --local=none --remote=37890 --primary --fullscreen

I tried to add --hud but it did not work. To had to remove first --fullscreen because vdr did not start, but to the end i had the same problem: no osd :-(

Hi Louis,

Now i got all compoled. I recompiled everything (vdr etc) and i managed (i think) to get all libraries installed too.
