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=<path-to-your-vdr-files> 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=<path-to-your-vdr-files> 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_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_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
<res> of the next parameters is 567i, 720p, 1080i_fake or 1080i.
1080i_fake is 1280x1080 or 1440x1080
1080i is "real" 1920x1080
softhddevice.<res>.Scaling = 0
0 = normal, 1 = fast, 2 = HQ, 3 = anamorphic
softhddevice.<res>.Deinterlace = 0
0 = bob, 1 = weave, 2 = temporal, 3 = temporal_spatial, 4 = software
(only 0, 1 supported with vaapi)
softhddevice.<res>.SkipChromaDeinterlace = 0
0 = disabled, 1 = enabled (for slower cards, poor qualit<69>t)
softhddevice.<res>.Denoise = 0
0 .. 1000 noise reduction level (0 off, 1000 max)
softhddevice.<res>.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
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.
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 support 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)
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.
