This is a "plugin" for the Video Disk Recorder (VDR). Originaly written by: Kai Tobias Burwieck "Interpohl" Onno Kreuzinger Andreas Brachold Former project's homepage: http://www.burwieck.net/vdr (dead?) http://vdr-image.kreuzinger.biz> Maintainer: Andreas Brachold Project homepage: http://deltab.de/vdr/image.html Some files are from the mp3/MPlayer Plugin. Thanks to Stefan Hülswitt Required: ----------- - fullfeatured dvb card - vdr 1.2.6+, series vdr 1.3.0 work too - to compile plugin depends package libavcodec1-dev (tested with ffmpeg-0.4.8) - to run your will need package netpbm and libavcodec1* - netpbm 10.0+ (check for "anytopnm", if it does not exist upgrade/install netpbm) - not necessary but useful utils/file (file) for better imagetyp detection, used by anytopnm *) it's use libavcodec.so, also static linking possible with compile #> make plugin FFMPEG_STATIC=1 Important Note: if tools are installed by source absolutely also for it provide that the programs (anytopnm pnmscale pnmfile pnmcut pnmflip) are inside the search-path, otherwise adapt the variable "PATH" within the file imageplugin.sh. Install: ------------ Install the plugin part as usual (see vdr docs if you not know already). Compile depends package libavcodec1-dev, libavcodec1 or also know ffmpeg. later for run your will only need libavcodec1(libavcodec.so) and netpbm. ("apt-get install libavcodec1-dev libavcodec1 netpbm" on Debian) In the ./examples directory you can find a sample file for imagesources.conf, change this file if needed and place it in the plugins folder in your config folder (the video folder by default). The syntax is : ;;<0/1>; examples: /media/cdrom;CDROM;1;*.jpg *.jpeg *.png *.tif* *.bmp /archive/photos/holiday;Holiday pictures;0;DSC10*.jpg 0/1 is for media that need to be mounted (uses the same mount.sh as mplayer/mp3 plugin). The file ./scripts/imageplugin.sh could go to /usr/bin, or any other folder in your path. You can also use the plugin options (vdr -help after installing the plugin) to specify the path's to the files, if you don't want to those files in you system. [ e.g.: ./vdr '-Pimage -C /path/imageplugin.sh -m /path/mount.sh' ...] The install.sh in the examples folder will try a automatic install, give it a try if it fails else.

The syntax is exactly the same as described for the file commands.conf, see "man 5 vdr". If only one instruction is indicated, the filename of the image will be appended to the command string, separated by a blank and enclosed in single quotes. Format> Menutext ?: command %s ? - Confirmation request (optionally) %s - placeholder for filename (optionally) See for a sample at examples/imagecmds.conf . Diagnosis of the scripts and installation ----------------------------------------- If the script does not work like it should, start the Script to test from the console. imageplugin.sh [infile] [outfile] [WIDTH] [HEIGHT] [ZOOMFACTOR] [LEFTPOS] [TOPPOS] {FLIPCMD} e.g. imageplugin.sh myimage.png outfile.pnm 720 576 0 0 0 original and please examine the produced syslog messages at /var/log/message or messages on console if that does not help repeats the procedure with > export DEBUG=yes; export DEBUG=yes;imageplugin.sh myimage.png outfile.pnm 720 576 0 0 0 original and examine the expenditure on the screendump *) if script work for your, it's could reduce the message on syslog, if your change on imageplugin.sh inside from VERBOSE=yes to VERBOSE=no
