Known problems, bugs, and workarounds related to this driver: ------------------------------------------------------------- * The MP3 plugin's "show live TV" option while playing stuff doesn't work. Workaround: none known, but the black screen isn't that bad if you make the MP3 progress stuff/playlist visible... * VCD plugin does not work. Workaround: use the MPlayer plugin to play VCDs. * No sound with the DVD plugin with VDR >= 1.3.18. Workaround: use the MPlayer plugin to play DVDs. Workaround 2: use VDR < 1.3.18. Workaround 3: patches/vdr-dxr3-ac3.patch may work for you. * When cutting old recordings (made with VDR < 1.3.28 or something, newer ones should not be affected) from some channels, the still picture is stuck and won't move when you press 4 or 6 to fine tune the cutmarks. Workaround: apply Reinhard Nißl's dvbplayer patch for VDR, see http://home.vr-web.de/~rnissl/vdr-1.3.28-dvbplayer.patch * If the TV aspect ratio does not automatically adjust according to the video stream, and you have a ADV7170-based DXR3 and a PAL system, see em8300-adv7170-wss.patch and vdr-dxr3-wss.patch in the patches/ dir. Other TODOs: ------------ * set bcs * clean unneeded log entries * stillpicture * grab screenshot * add much more comments! * rewrite some parts of plugin like - demuxer - palettemanger - colormanger - spuencoder * osd via - ffmpeg - vga overlay * optimize (is it worth it?) Rgb2YCrCb YUV2Rgb * use xine OSD scaler unconditionally * try to preserve aspect ratio and audio mode on reset * clean up pre-VDR 1.4 compatibility cruft when 1.4 is out
