Written by: Andreas Mair (andreas AT vdr - developer DOT org) Project's homepage: http://andreas.vdr-developer.org/enigmang Latest version available at: http://andreas.vdr-developer.org/enigmang See the file COPYING for license information. Requirements ------------ - VDR version >= 1.4.0. - Logo pack from http://andreas.vdr-developer.org/enigmang Description ----------- "EnigmaNG" is a standalone skin based on the "Enigma" text2skin addon. Compile time configuration -------------------------- There are some configuration items you need to set before running "make plugins" in "Make.config": SKINENIGMA_HAVE_EPGSEARCH = 1 If you are using the epgsearch plugin and want to see the number of timer conflicts in the main menu's info area. SKINENIGMA_NO_MENULOGO = 1 This turns usage of logos in the main menu complete. This might also improve the performance of the menus. EXPERIMENTAL!!! SKINENIGMA_FULL_CHANNELINFO_TITLE = 1 If set the top and bottom borders are drawn around the channel logo in the channel info. TEMPORARY OPTION?!? Patches ------- In the patches directory you'll find patches that might be of interest to you before compiling. Just check it out! Every patch (*.diff) has a corresponding description (*.txt). Read it for more information. Installation ------------ > cd /put/your/path/here/VDR/PLUGINS/src > tar -xzf /put/your/path/here/vdr-skinenigmang-X.Y.Z.tgz > ln -s skinenigmang-X.Y.Z skinenigmang OR (for CVS checkout): > ln -s EnigmaNG skinenigmang > cd skinenigmang > cp -df themes/*.theme /path/to/vdrconf/themes/ > cd /put/your/path/here/VDR > make > make plugins > ./vdr -P skinenigmang Update ------ That's the same procedure as "Installation" but you have to remove some things before: - Link to old sources > cd /put/your/path/here/VDR/PLUGINS/src > rm -f skinenigmang - Old themes (only if you didn't change/add them!) > cd /path/to/vdrconf/themes/ > rm -f EnigmaNG-*.theme Options ------- -l path, --logodir=path Path to the logos. Usage ----- In VDR go to the OSD settings menu and select the skin "EnigmaNG" Setup Options ------------- - One area (if possible) If you don't want to use a single 8bpp area for the OSD you can disable it here. If this option is enabled this will not ensure that a single area is used, but EnigmaNG will try to use it. If your output deviice can handle that area (e.g. softdevice) it will be used. Otherwise multiple areas are used. This option might be useful for 4MB modded DVB cards because they say they can handle the 8bpp single area but the OSD will be slower. If you own such a card you may want to play with that option and see if you can increase OSD speed. NOTE: after commit the settings you have to fully close and re-open the OSD to make the change affect. - Bpp in single area (4/8) The number of bpp (bit per pixel) to use for the single area. 4bpp means upto 16 colors, 8bpp means upto 256 colors. NOTE: if this is set to 4bpp you should also disable "Show symbols" because otherwise a palette overflow is very likely. - Show info area in main menu This info area is shown in the main menu and it will show the current/next timers and the number of timer conflicts (if SKINENIGMA_HAVE_EPGSEARCH has been defined). - Show auxiliary information (top/bottom) Here you can set where you want to have the auxiliary information when you open an event's or recording's info screen. This information includes for a recording its channel, size, priority, lifetime, audio languages and some values that selected plugins (epgsearch, VDRAdmin-AM, pin) have set. For an event the audio languages are shown. - Show remaining/elapsed time (elapsed/remaining/percent) Here you can set if you want to read the number of minutes an event is already running (preceded by "+") or the number of minutes an event will run (preceded by "-") or the percent the event has been running in the channel info. - Show VPS Hide or show VPS information in channel info and event info. - Show progressbar This replaces progressbars shown with pipes (e.g. [|| ]) by a graphical progressbar. * Logos & Symbols - Show symbols (never/always/not in menu/only in menu) Here you can enable or disable the large symbols shown in top right corner of the main menu, the recordings info and the event info and the "background" symbol of the mode symbol when replaying recordings. Possible options: never - don't show them anywhere always - show them everywhere not in menu - don't show them in the main menu or recording/even info only in menu - only show them in the main menu or recording/even info - Show symbols in lists This replaces "T", "t", "V"... in the EPG views symbols. - Show marker in lists If enabled a small circle is drawn in front of the selected item in lists. - Show flags If enabled graphical flags are drawn for the audio channel languages if the requested flag file exists. Else language's abbreviation is drawn. - Show channel logos Hide or show channel logos in channel info. - Identify channel by (name/data) Here you can choose if the channel logo should be searched by the channel's name (e.g. "YLETV2" -> "YLETV2.xpm") or by the channel's unique id (e.g. "T-8438-4097-33.xpm"). NOTE: the available logo packs are named by channel name only! - Channel logo cache size The number of logos/symbols to keep in the cache. * EPGSearch - Number of Reruns (0 - 10) The number of reruns to show in an event's info. - Use Subtitle for reruns (never/if exists/always) If set to "never" all events will match that _contain_ the current event's title in their title, e.g. if title is "Brisant" it will also find "Brisant Classix". If set to "if exists" it will use the subtitle to find reruns if the current event contains a subtitle. This will also require a full title match, e.g. if title is "Brisant" and subtitle is "Boulevard Magazin" it will find only events with title and subtitle beeing exactly "Brisant" and "Boulevard Magazin". It won't find events named "Brisant Classix" or "Brisant" without subtitle. If set to "always" it will always use the subtitle even if it's empty. As a sideeffect also the event titles must match exactly, e.g. if title is "Tagesschau" it will only find events named "Tagesschau" and not "Tagesschau vor 30 Jahren". - Show timer conflicts Enable or disable showing the number of timer conflicts in the main menu's info area. Notes ----- - Only XPM format is supported for channel logos: 80x80 pixels and 13 colors (6 colors on DXR3) or less recommended. - If you'll add new channels logos on the fly, remember to flush the channel logo cache.
