This is a "plugin" for the Video Disk Recorder (VDR). Written by: Sascha Volkenandt Project's homepage: http://www.magoa.net/linux/index.php?view=osdpip Latest version available at: http://www.magoa.net/linux/index.php?view=osdpip See the file COPYING for license information. Requirements: - libmpeg2 (http://libmpeg2.sourceforge.net) version 0.4.0 (OLDER VERSIONS DON'T WORK) Description: OSD Picture-in-Picture is a PlugIn that displays the current channel in a small box on the screen (default upper right corner). 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. Just increase the number of colors in this line to 256. #define MAXNUMCOLORS 256 Now, you have to re-build VDR and Plugins. make [options, if necessary] vdr make [options, if necessary] plugins Controls: Up/Down Switch Channel up/down 1-9 Set Box Position 0 Switch back to PiP channel and exit PiP Back Exit PiP without switching back
