You can switch up and +down now, watching the progress of the previous channel in the box. Quality is +not too good yet, and only I-Frames are displayed. You'll need to upgrade your +VDR to support a 256 color OSD with the provided patching instruction. + + +Installation: + +Let's say osdpip's version is 0.0.1 and vdr's version is 1.2.6. If you +use anything else please exchange the version numbers appropriately (this +way I don't have to update this section all the times;) ). + +cd vdr-1.2.6/PLUGINS/src +tar xvfz vdr-osdpip-0.0.1.tgz +ln -s osdpip-0.0.1 osdpip +cd ../.. + +Now, you have to call your favourite editor to open osdbase.h and jump to line +number 16. I don't provide a patch here because some patches already touch that +area. Well this one's easy, though.
