Description

"Standard"-Theme

This Plugin uses a Framebuffer or VDR device to show Status Informations, so one can use a cheap mini-TFT to show infos about the VDR.

Setup
"brst"-Theme

Hardware requirements

  • TFT display

Software requirements

  • imlib2
  • ffmpeg

Installation

First the prerequisites imlib2

cd $SOURCEDIR
tar xvzf imlib2-<VERSION>.tar.gz
cd imlib2-<VERSION>

cd $SOURCEDIR
tar xvzf ffmpeg-<VERSION>.tar.gz
ln -s ffmpeg-<VERSION> ffmpeg

For the plugin to work you need the Vera truetype font (others will possibly work too)
