Added french translation (Thanks to Nicolas Huillard). Enabled bitrate commands via SVDRP. Added new SVDRP commands. Modified femon service without incrementing version number. Added "Duotone" theme for 2bpp on screen displays. Fixed crash bug in femonreceiver. Fixed setup page bug (Thanks to Thomas Günther for reporting this one).

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 and stream information are also available in advanced display modes.
|
|
|
|
The plugin is based on a neat console frontend status monitor application
|
|
called 'femon' by Johannes Stezenbach (see DVB-apps/szap/femon.c for further
|
|
information). The bitrate calculation trick originates from the 'dvbstream'
|
|
application by Dave Chapman and the stream information routines are taken from
|
|
the 'libdvb' library by Metzler Brothers.

Installation:
|
|
|
|
cd /put/your/path/here/VDR/PLUGINS/src
|
|
tar -xzf /put/your/path/here/vdr-femon-X.Y.Z.tgz
|
|
ln -s femon-X.Y.Z femon
|
|
cd /put/your/path/here/VDR
|
|
make
|
|
make plugins
|
|
./vdr -P femon
|
|
|
|
Notes:
|
|
|
|
- The plugin supports only those DVB cards with _one_ frontend, because I
|
|
haven't yet figured howto do it without patching the VDR core.
|
|
|
|
- Disable the stream analyze to speed up heavy zapping sessions.
|
|
|
|
- The signal strength and signal-to-noise ratio values are comparable only
|
|
between the same brand/model frontends. Due to the lack of proper frontend
|
|
specifications those values cannot be calculated into any real units.
|
|
|
|
- If the OSD isn't visible, you've configured the OSD height too big or too
|
|
small. Please, try to adjust the variable on the setup page before writing
|
|
any bug reports. NTSC users should use a shrinked default OSD height by
|
|
compiling the plugin with: make FEMON_NTSC=1
|
|
