Good luck johns Quickstart: ----------- Just type make and use. Install: -------- 1a) git git clone git://projects.vdr-developer.org/vdr-plugin-softhddevice.git cd vdr-plugin-softhddevice make VDRDIR= LIBDIR=. gentoo: make VDRDIR=/usr/include/vdr LIBDIR=. 2a) tarball Download latest version from: http://projects.vdr-developer.org/projects/plg-softhddevice/files tar vxf vdr-softhddevice-*.tar.bz2 cd softhddevice-* make VDRDIR= LIBDIR=. You can edit Makefile to enable/disable VDPAU / VA-API / Alsa / OSS support. Setup: environment ------ Following is supported: DISPLAY=:0.0 x11 display name only if alsa is configured ALSA_DEVICE=default alsa PCM device name ALSA_AC3_DEVICE= alsa AC3/pass-though device name ALSA_MIXER=default alsa control device name ALSA_MIXER_CHANNEL=PCM alsa control channel name only if oss is configured OSS_AUDIODEV=/dev/dsp oss dsp device name OSS_AC3_AUDIODEV= oss AC3/pass-though device name OSS_MIXERDEV=/dev/mixer oss mixer device name OSS_MIXER_CHANNEL=pcm oss mixer channel name Setup: /etc/vdr/setup.conf ------ Following is supported: softhddevice.MakePrimary = 1 0 = no change, 1 make softhddevice primary at start softhddevice.HideMainMenuEntry = 0 0 = show softhddevice main menu entry, 1 = hide entry of the next parameters is 567i, 720p, 1080i_fake or 1080i. 1080i_fake is 1280x1080 or 1440x1080 1080i is "real" 1920x1080 softhddevice..Scaling = 0 0 = normal, 1 = fast, 2 = HQ, 3 = anamorphic softhddevice..Deinterlace = 0 0 = bob, 1 = weave, 2 = temporal, 3 = temporal_spatial, 4 = software (only 0, 1 supported with vaapi) softhddevice..SkipChromaDeinterlace = 0 0 = disabled, 1 = enabled (for slower cards, poor qualität) softhddevice..Denoise = 0 0 .. 1000 noise reduction level (0 off, 1000 max) softhddevice..Sharpness = 0 -1000 .. 1000 noise reduction level (0 off, -1000 max blur, 1000 max sharp) softhddevice.AudioDelay = 0 +n or -n ms softhddevice.AudioPassthrough = 0 0 = none, 1 = AC-3 for AC-3 the pass-through device is used. softhddevice.AutoCrop.Interval = 0 0 disables auto-crop n each 'n' frames auto-crop is checked. softhddevice.AutoCrop.Delay = 0 if auto-crop is over after 'n' intervals the same, the cropping is used. softhddevice.Suspend.Close = 0 1 suspend closes x11 window, connection and audio device. (use svdrpsend plug softhddevice RESU to resume, if you have no lirc) softhddevice.Suspend.X11 = 0 1 suspend stops X11 server (not working yet) Setup: /etc/vdr/remote.conf ------ Add "XKeySym." definitions to /etc/vdr/remote.conf to control the vdr and plugin with the connected input device. fe. XKeySym.Up Up XKeySym.Down Down ... Additional to the x11 input sends the window close button "Close". fe. XKeySym.Power Close Commandline: ------------ Use vdr -h to see the command line arguments supported by the plugin. -a audio_device Selects audio output module and device. "" to disable audio output /... to use oss audio module (if compiled with oss support) other to use alsa audio module (if compiled with alsa support) SVDRP: ------ Use 'svdrpsend.pl plug softhddevice HELP' to see the SVDRP commands help and which are supported by the plugin. Running: -------- Click into video window to toggle fullscreen/window mode, only if you have a window manager running. Warning: -------- libav is not supported, expect many bugs with it.
