Description:
|
|
|
|
DVB Frontend Status Monitor is a plugin that displays some signal information
|
|
parameters of the current tuned channel on OSD. You can zap through all your
|
|
channels and the plugin should be monitoring always the right frontend. The
|
|
transponder information is also available in advanced display mode. User can
|
|
switch between simple and advanced display modes by pressing 'OK' key.
|
|
|
|
The plugin is based on a neat console frontend status monitor application called
|
|
'femon' by Johannes Stezenbach <js@convergence.de> (see DVB-apps/szap/femon.c
|
|
for further information). The other parts of plugin code are borrowed from the
|
|
excellent 'OSD Picture-In-Picture' plugin by Sascha Volkenandt <sascha@akv-soft.de>
|
|
and Andreas Regel <andreas.regel@powarman.de>. The bitrate calculation algorithm
|
|
originates from the 'dvbstream' application by Dave Chapman <dave@dchapman.com>.

Shortcomings / Todo list / Notes:
|
|
|
|
- The current version is a kind of Proof In Concept to replace the old 'tech
|
|
patch', and it's now eating many unnecessary cpu clock cycles - this will be
|
|
fixed later...
|
|
- The plugin supports only those DVB cards with _one_ frontend (do any cards
|
|
with multiple frontends even exist?), because I haven't yet figured howto do
|
|
it without patching the VDR core.
|
|
- Sometimes (read always) ttxtsubs plugin messes up the OSD - user should disable
|
|
ttxtsubs, but closing and reopening the femon plugin might help temporarily as
|
|
well. Btw., this same thing happens with OSDTeletext plugin too :)
|
|
- The plugin GUI is designed for _small fonts_, so stable vdr-1.2.6 users should
|
|
consider a small font patch (e.g. ElchiAIO4a) to maximize the visual effect :)
|
|
- The stream information is still missing.
|
|
- Disable bitrate calculation to speed up heavy zapping sessions.
